    Disproportionate increase to road tax on 4x4 vehicles.

    Would love to but you all talk funny. Found it easier to join the millions who bring their caravan up every year.

    Disproportionate increase to road tax on 4x4 vehicles.

    Open up all the old coal mines and turn them into underpasses. Some of the pits I've worked in are big enough for double decker buses and go for miles Wonder if the landy will run on coal gas, buses did it during the war

    What MPG can you realistically get from a Landy/Disco?

    I'm still getting around 24mpg while doing mixed local and motorway and using plenty of acceleration. Down to 22mpg when towing 1350 kg caravan and when I behave myself around 29mpg on longish motorway trips. Never been below 22mpg even when using full throttle journeys.

    Disproportionate increase to road tax on 4x4 vehicles.

    Well said slob, I'd rather 1.7 million motorist drive round the M25 all day waiting for call signs on the radio to turn off at the next roundabout? Should bring London & Heathrow to a halt. If not the exhaust fumes should make em surrender What can they do to stop us, charge us a...

    Disproportionate increase to road tax on 4x4 vehicles.

    Dear or dear Wilbur all is not lost For someone prepared to build their dream machine from the ground up you need more patience and perhaps a bit more dosh. I thought you so assertive that I was suggesting you start by claiming an increase in your remuneration. Explain that you need to cover...

    Help - ignition lock jammed!

    It's not that big a job to remove the barrel if you're small enough to get at it. It could be a couple of things, either the wafers in the barrel have got stuck by being forced or not properly aligning because a spring has broken or maybe the switch has burnt contacts or broken internally as...

    Disproportionate increase to road tax on 4x4 vehicles.

    Wilbur, you sound like a sensible person, unlike the rest of us. Tax is relative. They want more, You want more Put your claim in first, just in case They get accused of causing spiralling inflation They got it wrong, they get booted out :p

    Several good firms make uprated intercoolers but it depends on what motor you got. Mine for example is mint condition 300tdi with aircon and auto. With half a dozen items such as radiators and fans mounted in the front his doesn't allow much room for a further full size intercooler. The ideal...

    repairs to a turbo for newbie

    big beni, a load of good neighbours have cast their opinions but to be clear, you haven't exactly told us what the problem is. Whilst most of the advice is sound you could do yourself a favour by giving us a better clue as to the symptoms. This would benefit you and any others who suspect...

    Radio 2 Today!!!!

    It’s not them you should be knocking; it’s the masters and rich swine’s who want the privilege of keeping the roads to themselves. Don’t let them put us all at each others throats. They collect five times the taxes they spend on our roads so why do they need more to provide a decent road...

    greasing uj's

    I'm a qualified ex-RAF grease monkey. If the grease gun works fine on other nipples there's probably nothing wrong with the gun. try swapping the nipples from those that work. Sometimes the nipples don't make a perfect seal in the grease gun socket. the grease sometimes goes hard in the...
