  1. Was thinking of doing this myself.. Great job winx !!! Cheers, Neil
  2. Fantastic Project Carsten! ps are you going to Aachen on the 3rd of May? Cheers, Neil
  3. Ive done 400,000 miles total in a couple of Mondeo estates 97 & 98, one was lpg and the other was diesel, tough cars. LPG car blew its head gasket at 150k and the diesel was the most reliable car i have ever had. Cheap maintenance and a very versatile and comfortable car available with all the toys in Ghia trim. The mondeo was the biggest estate in its class.. I would be wary of the newer Mondeos with high milage, eg, if you have to replace an injector, sit down with a glass of strong stuff before you ask the price........ The French make great cars for fleet buyers, but I wouldnt buy one with my own money. How about a BMW 525tds (E34) cheap as chips to maintain and run. High milage cars with FSH shouldnt frighten you off. The same goes for the Merc 300td/290td W124/W210 Just my observations, Cheers, Neil
  4. Camping Holiday 2007 South Holland, Sort of puts my packing to shame really, erm this is how you shouldnt do it unless you have 3 kids..... This year we will take a trailer...LOL

  9. Go and buy a lottery ticket quick, while you are there get me one, with luck like that be a shame to waste it.......LOL I help Rejo change mine the other week, initial inspection it looked perfect but on looking a bit closer you could just see the strands under the teeth beginning to let go.........peace of mind works wonders.......LOL Cheers, Neil
  10. I m using a little 12v electric heater for when there is frost on the windscreen, other than that its just something else to add on the list, I cant really complain though, after 25,000miles of ownership in 9 months my Disco is doing me proud. Mainly due to replacing worn out parts and alot of help from Rejo, the last being the timimg belt...THANKS MATEY Thanks to Den and Bogmonster for the encouragement. Cheers, Neil

  15. A friend of the family bought this Renault Goeltette 4x4 (Ex French Army Ambulance) for about 700 quid. He thinks its a 2 litre and it does run on LPG. Selectable 2 or 4wd. Pretty rough around the edges but pretty cool in it own right.......... Cheers, Neil
