ah nice, have you been on the others recently? The one that is just north on the A3 that goes up the Hill, and the ones on the other side of the A3? Also whats the one like next to the farm at the Thursley exit of that Lane. It looks narrow and steep as you exit the road?

Cheers Shifty, Yeah i wasnt so worried about the UK, i spend alot of times in the Alps, where the temp can drop to below -20 over night in the winter. Even with the anti-gelling fuel, ive had VW Minibuses conk out. To be fair, my Landy always starts first time, with very little smoke, just lots...

As above, is it Ok to put a little bit of petrol in to stop the diesel thickening with the temps decreasing? They sell anti diesel thickening agents, but they seem expensive, about £5-6 for a tanks shot. Its not cold enough yet for the diesel to fully thicken, but was just wandering so i can...

?

might just need adjusting on the master cylinder. Does it slip? how many miles has the clutch done? What engine is it? Give us some clues?

Had a look throught the punchbowl lanes yesterday (well the one past the youth hostel back to the A3, then turned around and went to Thursley and all was good. No trees down or anything. Lots of leaves etc, someone must have been through recenly as i could see the tracks through the leaves. The...

dont let it overheat, if you damage the head and require a new one, it will be over £1000 for a TD5 (just for the head)

could it be something to do with the oil cooler? Is it a 200? Not really sure on these engines

apparently they are good if your somewhere very dusty too.

Is it over heating, sounds like it could be the head gasket.

what engine is it, im guessing 200/300?

not my cup of tea!!

its personal choice, drive the different engines and search all their problems etc. You will be driving it, not us. I would say TD5, but thats what i drive.

i currently get 33-34mpg, but im thinking of changing tyres from 235/85/16 General Grabber TR standard tyres to 265/75/16 BFG AT. Do anyone have any ideas if with will noticably effect my fuel consumption? I do alot of miles, so would appreciate anyones advice.

5 to 10 L should do you!!

TD5, i prefer the engine to be honest, but i have one so i would. I also like the rugged interior of mine, you want a Disco if you want a nice interior. Having said that, there was a thread on here recently saying Defenders were going up in price with the winter weather, so a late TD5 might be...

Have a look at the search function. It really depends on how much your willing to spend. Lights can be cheap upwards. Also are you going to get breather kits with the snorkel?

sounds very high to me, a year and half ago, i paid 12500, for my 90 TD5, late 2002, Black, A bar, Spots, Boost Alloys, A/c etc (not a XS Spec) but does have extras as such. Mine had 40K on it, FSH, 1 years warranty, fresh service, MOT (No Tax) At the time i thought it was a little high...

my stats over 8,254 miles = 1164L of diesel @ £1.193/L average, = £0.162/mile to run.

i get 33.8 mpg. 90 TD5 with de egr )which i dont think does anything anyway apart from not fire **** into the engine) Thats an average over 7000 miles. I use a little app on my phone to keep a record (a little sad i know!!)
