If you were an occasional Land Rover owner, you'd understand the meaning of breakdown.


I read your posts, that's why I'm not and never will be.

Jules spent most of the BBB under his so he could get back home.

That's the thing about Land Rovers and their devoted owners ... they might break down (the Land Rovers that is), but the mechanical calibre, ingenuity and resourcefulness of the owners usually means they get to where they are going.

Oh, and I run a 300 TDI Discovery with a heated filter and a PD Golf TDI (except winter months) on B100.

I think it's been done on the VOD before, but got lost in the mass of posts, but how about we start a wiki page listing members vehicles, any bio/veg related problems and the solutions to overcome them?

Before I put the heated filter on the current Disco, I spent several hours swabbing out the tank on the old Disco, two winters running.  In sub zero temperatures it's a decidedly unpleasant task which I don't intend to repeat.

Now I've been water washing for a while and have bulk storage with top skimming outside, I may give it a bash next winter.  Given the complexity of the PD fuel system I don't want to take any chances.

I've just pumped the last batch from the shed to the outside holding tank and low and behold there are little white ball (just a few) on the side of the settling tank.

I think that's a good idea, may help others decide on what car to get next.

Just a thought, maybe Land Rovers need their own section, we don't want all the other cars getting lost in page after page of lawn rovers.

We need a smiley of a man hiding for cover behind a wall.
