freeagent Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 welcome to the REAL world of landrovers... mine has a habit of letting me down at the worst possible times, like the fuel lift pump packing up in the fast lane of the M25, and the clutch fork letting go in Glastonbury, 200 miles from home, complete with large trailer.... why do we do it...?

minivin Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 dunno, rumuor is tomorrow the tax for the type of size engines we run is going to bolt upto £200 per year, if that happens I'm fitting a 2.25 or 2.5 petrol in it and exporting it to the USA to sell and make some money back on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 dunno, rumuor is tomorrow the tax for the type of size engines we run is going to bolt upto £200 per year Nah, I think it will be based on the carbon emmisions/mile. There are no figures for,older cars so I think it will only apply to newer cars with the carbon emmision figures available. I bought new road tax yesterday, just in case.

GBMUD Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Bu&&er, I've got two to tax this month Tax them now, pronto. You can do it online and it will be at today's price, whatever happens this afternoon. Even if it is not due you can buy a new one and cash in the old one - as long as it goes back before the end of the month. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minivin Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 hopefully this link should work: http://www.flashearth.com/?lat=51.150514&l...=13.6&r=0&src=2 It's under the crosshair, goes past the bomb dump (not that there's much in there these days), ah, ntlworld was the problem so here: http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?cli...=&keepicon=true Think the vagueness (grammer?) in the steering didn't help at such speed will have to give the steering box adjuster a light tweek to see if it helps, would have thought the steering damper would have helped but it doesn't do anything at present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
