Still £205 to tax a Freelander , old or new.

They did indeed. Started with the ' you get more mpg from diesel and left the duty alone ". Once there had been a big upturn in diesel buying, they quickly decided that diesel was worse for the enviroment and with their few tame scientists they fashioned a pretty poor argument for upping the...

You only have to go back a few years when this govt was giving away millions to help people cover the cost of converting to LPG under a scheme called Powershift. LPG, they proclaimed, a clean fuel that was helping the enviroment. Of ourse the grant ran out pretty quick but never the less, some...

Manifold now replaced. They collecte the vehicle and returned it the following day. Had an oil change at the same time and the plugs checked following reports that some of them where cross threaded ( by a local garge who put new ones in for me a couple of weeks ago ). Total bill inc VAT...

Good point slob.....

Newby sticking oar in......It is remarkable how little fight we have seen from the likes of land rover and other 4x4 manufactuers. I know that staff in land rover dealership near me are starting to fear for their jobs, specially in sales as more and more repeat customers have declared that they...

Where does this govt stop in the demonising stakes......what comes after 4X4's ? If some one brings out a 4X4 with a Co2 rating around the 150 mark, will it still be the devils chariot because its has a 4x4 system ? When I hear some pratt going on about the size, I point out that its bigger in...

I think I'll have a go out those little mini buses like Galaxys and Espace's....the driver should hold a PSV licence...there, thats set the cat amongst the pigeons

I sick of using this example but its one worth remembering. I say to the anti 4x4 moaners...take a bit of chalk and chalk around the outline of your vectra or Mondeo...than park a disco or range rover over the outline. Strange , its not sticking 2 or 3 feet over the lines, just the odd couple of...

5 yearl old Disco 11, 50,000 miles just turned..what little pleasures can I now expect to start cropping up ?

I quote from the ABD (Association of British Drivers ) ' That well known hater of all cars, Ken Livingstone, and his cronies in the anti-car cartel which is conspiring to attack Britain's drivers, are trying a new offensive. It's called Divide and Rule. Their odious little plan is to...

It would have had to come off for welding so might as well go new. About £85 plus vat for part. As vehicle is gas conversion, I want to make sure everythig is spot on to try and get the best mpg possible.

Have decided to let a land rover specialist in Leyland fit a new manifold . Will report back

Might do . I need to find a land rover specialist in the North West who also knows about LPG conversions. Reckon they would be less fearful of moving things in order to get manifold out. Any one know what sort of price these things are ?

It would appear that there is a hairline crack in the exhaust manifold. I was wondering what my options are as due to the fitting of LPG system and the exhaust emmissions control bits and bobs as fitted to the last of the 4.0 V8's, it is not that easy to remove.:confused:
