    London Low Emission Zone - LEZ

    my 95 disco 300 tdi is exempt:eek: If your vehicle is registered outside Great Britain (including Northern Ireland) you will need to register with TfL for an exemption looks like the foreigners will get away with paying it too...so once again or truckers get f@cked over.

    Hazard lights failed the MOT

    first thing to do is check power supply to switch then trace it from there. if you have power in then power out when switched on then relay and wiring to it is next step.

    A number of issues that may be linked.

    the issue of a dodgy mot cert is no different than it used to be.. the only difference now is that vosa have an easier way of tracking mot certs issued, but the penalties for dodgy certs are worse now than they used to be.

    If HG is replaced would Timing Belt be changed also?

    The first landy was in 1947/8 based on the amercican willys jeep, the japs had already done this in 1941 with the bantam, on the phillipines. so i could argue that possibly the jap was on the island before the brit, seen as how its only 4345 miles whereas its around 10000 miles from uk to...

    bollox..lmfao...it had nothing to with how good offroad they were, it was simple fact that they could not get from one end to the other without boiling over and having the occupants passing out in the cab due to no mod cons like air con. so the local council or what ever it was imposed the...

    The rather large company i work for as a techie will not sell the petrol freelander and our own warranty company will not cover headgasket failure at all. If we get a petrol in px it's sent to the block for auction. The diesel has a much better engine but the car as a whole is pretty dire for...
