    265 vs 235 fuel consumption change?

    quick question

    no you can engage it whenever you like, just make sure the wheels are not slipping (at different speeds from each other). Take it out again when its not needed or it will wind up tight. If it wont come out again, you might need to reverse a little. She will need to stop to drop it into Low...

    EGR possibly. How much smoke we talking? Is it when the turbo is working or as soon as you rev it?

    265 vs 235 fuel consumption change?

    Right, Tyres.... (Yes i have searched) I think i have made my decision. Im going to go for 265 75 16 BFG AT on my D90 TD5 on Boost alloys (going from 235 85 16 General TRs) It was between the 235 and 265, but think i will go for the 265s, unless i get any adverse opinions etc. My...

    temprature gage

    mine did the same when i was skiing last year. The Fan continuosly blasts cold air through, so if the heater is on, and the air temp is cold, the engine will cool down. No Worries :)

    235/85/R16 vs 265/75/R16 handling

    Im watching this. Im looking to do the same, althoug keep my original boost alloys. Im trying to decide between the two sizes. Apparently, both the sizes were standard LR fitments, so either will be fine on a standard set up. The Stops might have to be slightly adjusted for the wider...

    Petrol in TD5s to stop Diesel Thickening Up with cold temps

    Ive been in about -24 and i have had a new VW minibus conk out, when gelled fuel. It had winter fuel in it but still died. The Landy was fine, using the same fuel from the same station. Maybe Landys are less vulnerable to the cold. Do they have a fuel heater or anything?

    Best RAC (or other breakdown cover) price?

    Its a great website, one of the boys at work has made nearly a grand this year from it. He Shifts his energy provider around on his house every few months. I think he gets over a hundred pounds back each time he does it. It can actually get addictive!! Cheers

    Just had a brain wave. Look on Top CashBack - The UK's Most Generous CashBack Site. Its a website that gives you money back. Its really good and completly legal etc. They basically get the comission back for what the sellers usually get. I have a feeling you will get a good deal on there. You...

    Best RAC (or other breakdown cover) price?

    I get full AA with my bank, Lloyds TSB. You have to pay for the account but you get loads of other stuff too. Could be worth a look.
