Had the Insa STs on the Defender when I got 'er. Look the dogs and great off-road in the 3 weeks I tried them but very poor on-road, noisy, and damn slippy on wet tarmac. BUT they ain't a road tyre so no complaints. Changed them for BFG AT's at £100 a corner fitted and got £120 back for the...

Cheers yer Lordship! Unfortunately the clutch was done before I got 'er. Got a Landy specialist locally so I might go 'ave a word and see what they think too. IIRC the clutch is a bit of a bastid to work on.

David...thanks for a sane response. :D Ah'm beginning to think that it could be oil contamination as it pulls very well in every other gear on any incline. Tis only when I've been on the motorway that I get it slipping a little in top. Guessing, but think it may be leaking slightly once the...

Feck me OD....at least you got a response!!! I'm still waiting for two companies to get back to me about selling oil in 1000L IBC's....not a sniff. There has to be a market here somewhere if we can find a BIG bulk supplier. There's LZ peeps all over the UK who we could distribute through!!

Cheers for that Boguing. I'll take a look and see if I can beg, borrow...or preferably steal a copy of the manual to see what it says. No fouling mats but good to know. ;)

Had the 300TDi 90 for a few weeks now and noticed that the clutch seems to slip a little in top when accelerating on the motorway...anything over 50mph or so. The vehicle was "supposed" to have had a new clutch fitted about 6K miles ago so, unless someone is telling porkies, I don't think it...

Sheesh. :o Evening chaps.

Humph....I posted a quoted price for bulk oil in here before. 90ppl. Robbin' feckers. :( That was fer 1000L in an IBC...and there was a charge for the IBC!!!

I believe the "8.8" gives a guide to strength, for torquing up the bolt or just how strong the material it is made out of is. For instance, 8mm bolts with a 1.25 thread pitch are normally available in property class ranges from 8.8 to 12.9. The higher the number, the stronger the bolt. You'd...

Good grief. 3L cooking oil is £1ppl at Tesco. 1L cooking oil at 98ppl at Tesco. Oddly enough....branded long-life 15L cooking oil at Tesco is 76ppl. Still gonna get a Bookers card. :)

As Odenne sez, you can use UP TO 2500L of veg/cooking oil per household per annum without paying duty on the oil as "fuel". It is strongly recommended you keep a tally and preferably receipts for all purchases though. ;)

Veg oil, Cooking oil. Same thing....unless it is an animal fat oil...but it'll still work. Waste oil is not just getting rid of the crispy bits. The food that goes into it will contaminate it with water, free fatty acids and other less than desirable stuff. Lots of info on the Web if you...

Been into Tesco this afternoon. All the 3L containers of oil are £2.98. There are 1L containers at 89p. Smacks of them bunging up the price because they know why people have been buying the larger containers. Still....it's the first time I've seen entire shelves full of 3L bottles of oil. :(

AWWWWWWWW!!!!. I wanted to see some action!!! ;) Congrats on the case being dropped.

Hmmm...what d'ya reckon the chances of plod & HMRC setting up a few more tank-dipping exercises. More people will be thinking of turning to the RED side...and it's gotta be easier than catching crooks.

And if you have the livestock...there's the fertiliser...assuming you don't use it all back on the field of course. Coooo.....this just gets better and better. ;)

"high-yield rapeseed fields produce about 1,356 L/ha (145 US gal/acre)" from Wikipedia...I've gotta assume it's accurate enough. So 145*3.79= 550 litres of rapeseed oil per acre. Cost of land, cost of farming, pressing, processing........ Sheeeeit. :( I wonder if we could terrace the...

In that event, you should be able to indicate where the plod suggests you trangressed the traffic laws by passing the cones etc., (better yet, get them to indicate where the cones were placed), show where you entered the street AFTER the cones, advise that plod is making assumptions on how you...

Although I will not question your reasons or responses...you have suggested that the Plod couldn't see you...not that you hadn't driven through the cones. If the cones were in place, certainly on the RHS of the road to stop vehicles ENTERING the area then you must have driven past them and done...

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!! :p Just rang KTC to enquire how much for a bulk order of their Rapeseed oil. In an IBC, (1000L), delivered with no VAT as it's not applicable...to you Sir...a mere £920!!! :eek: Ermmm...92ppl if bought in BULK!!?? Yep, but that doesn't include the...
