thanks for the replies. I'm unsure about whether to go to his door and ask him to pay the fee for the vic, or go to his door, ask him to explain what the hell's going on, or just forget it and cough up the fee myself. btw, if i thought he deliberately lied to me, I WILL be Mildly miffed off.

Bought a 1994 Discovery from a guy a little while ago. he sent away the blue form log book. i got a letter back today stating *This vehicle has been recorded as having substantial damamge and you need a vic. Apparently this costs 41 quid, and if failed, no more Discovery for me. the vehicle has a smallish dent on top of the front right wing and bonnet. so 41 quid out of pocket for what? any experience of this you guys?

I've just got a 1994 discovery 2.5 diesel 300tdi. I need to know what oil you guys use for engine/axles/transfer box. I was at halfords earlier and nearly had a heart attack looking at the price of oil-and that was halfords own brand! what do you recommend? PS-had a 1974 series 3 about twenty years ago and love the comfort and room of the discovery.
