I use the ambers on my Disco probably once a week in winter, while pulling locals out of the ditches they end up in,
our house is nearest to the series of bends, they come looking for help and see a landrover.
If you read the small print you will find YOU have to tell them you dont want to renew, you would be bitching if they didnt renew it, and you needed it.
If you want an FD 33 ( four pot so shorter) with kit and LT 95 gearbox already attatched, I have one coming out of the bobtail pretty soon, cross my palm with 200 beer tokens and its yours.
I think the idea of new drivers having to pass a towing test is great, infact i think older drivers should be tested too,
I dispair at the standard of trailer towing when I go to the local tip, I end up square in a sraight line within the lines, the others seem to drive across 4 parking spaces and still need to unhitch to turn things around.
How about a hi lift mount?
one that can be secured, but still keep the jack able to be accessed easily.
oh and some sort of weather protection for the gubbins would be a bonus.
BTW I was one of the first in the country to take design and technology back in the 70s. I built a glassfibre swivel chair.
A friend of mine used a plug in box from one of the big names, the car went like stink but he coulnt afford to fuel it.
I had mine done recently by Bell autos, it goes well (better than standard), and returns 31mpg.
I have a flo flex set on my disco, it seems fairly flexible now, but under control. a few of the other rubber bushes were shot, so the lot were swapped.
I had a set from Pa**ocks a few years ago and they were so firm they loosened your fillings.
a gallon of waxoil at £30 and an hours labour at say £40?
to a proper job using a few gallons and two or three hours, or one "specialist" will take £800 off you.
I had the wifes td5 done last week by Bell autos, its transformed the car,
the flat spot below 2000rpm has all but gone,
the fuel guage seems to have slowed down on its run to empty too, just doing a brim to brim check.
