If this is the silver one. It looks pretty good and the seller has good feedback. New tyres but sounds like needs a couple of bits doing so I'm betting that it could be easy to haggle. Looks like from the feedback he had a caravan so it's been used for towing, whether that bothers you or not...

On the limited info available. No 1. Because it's got a decent mot, it's could be £2750 for cash offer if you haggle and the mileage seems ok. Aircon is rarely used anyway and you can fix it at your leisure. The problem is when I pick a new motor I go choose my vehicle spec and budget then...

I've always liked a clean engine bay so I spent a bit of time wiping things down. Not toothbrush, showcar clean but always nicer to spot any problems and it makes me feel better.

I have my doubts that it's your torsion arms. They might be set differently to take account of driver position, battery etc. Lots of vehicles have handed coils for the same reason. It looks like most people have covered what you should check, but certainly don't underestimate the possibility of...

One each of these for me http://strumors.automobilemag.com/files/2013/04/BJ-Baldwin-Chevrolet-Silverado-Tropy-Truck-jumping-Nissan-GT-R.jpg

Does it do it all the time ? on power/off power ? Are the tyres actually showing any signs of uneven wear ? Have you checked suspension bushes inc rear ?

I understand where your coming from but as far as I'm aware it's around £150 to get you off the motorway and if you're hundreds of miles from home it's gonna cost you several hundred to get you home. If you are lucky and it only costs you a hundred quid to get you to the nearest garage, you're...

Even if you're a mechanic, breakdown cover is worth it. I've spent more years without it than with. Now with a family to think of, being stuck miles from home isn't worth the 8 quid a month for AA recovery to get me home. At the end of the day, I could do any job on my motor and I've always...

Been out for some veggie oil, fitted the motor control board that I repaired in the treadmill, finally started making up the loom for my roof lights on the patrol and fitted some new bonnet bumpstops onto it. Went for a drive and spent sum time looking at all the things I can't afford on the...

Say what you really mean, don't sit on the fence. Lol. Have to say though, I know what you mean, though I don't feel quite so strongly. I'd just say it's s**t The grill and wheels are particularly hideous

I'm sure that you're not and to be honest I doubt that there is much real experience running them because people know the risks and can't justify the potential costs against the savings. It's kind of a paradox, if you have enough money spare to pay the repair costs, then why bother saving a...

Just to put things in perspective. I've worked on cars many years. I've been working on an advanced fleet of diesel engined trains for the past 6 years, so I know about modern engines, canbus, integrated system vehicle communication buses etc etc and I sold my Navara not because it was...

I couldn't agree more. Then you would be left with a bill for thousands of pounds and I'm not exaggerating there. :eek:

Modern Common rail diesel engines run at much higher pressures than injector pump equipped engines. They also have sensors which monitor fuel pressure and flow. The thicker veggie oil will not only upset the sensor readings and result in the ECU going into limp mode or shutting the engine down...

Don't wanna hijack this for sale thread anymore, but this is the pic from the manual of the Diesel control. Apologies to the seller. If you need to know more, you can PM me :thumb2

I have an inline pump on mine. If yours is the same, basically the system has an elec motor and an arm that moves in 3 positions on the injector pump. There's back which is stop engine, middle which is run and forwards which is overfuel for starting. There's a screw that sets where the injector...

I have a 4.2D lwb Patrol. BHP is around 123 I think. Though I've turned up the fuel on my injector pump. I get around 30mpg on a run and I run 70% veg oil at a pound a litre. Engine pulls like a train, gearbox is tough as and so are axles. If you think of a 110 defender 200 tdi then performance...

I'm not trying to be arsey, just offer decent advice to prevent the poor lad suffering enormous frustration. It's excellent to have dreams but if too many people humour incorrect/incomplete information and advice then the lad won't get anywhere. The harsh truth sometimes has to be outlined and...

The problems have been the same for a few years now. As we all know, the weather does the most damage and it has been changing the landscape forever. Everyone else using the lanes damages them a bit, including the walkers but the powers that be are generally pro walker or are even walkers...

There's a country road I sometimes drive to work and because I work shifts I've had a couple of deers jump out in front of me. It's amazing how they just appear from nowhere. Anyway I never really get up to the speed limit because of them. I've seen the amount of damage they do when our trains...
