is there anyone on here who has any experience of running a diesel engine on this, not 100%, but 1/3 or 2/3?. i'm thinking of getting an older 4x4, probably a trooper or patrol and wondered if anyone had any experience, i read a post on this group earlier in the year by a guy who was running a pajero on 1/3 veg oil and 2/3 diesel. any thoughts (and i will be doing it legally) TIA

Hi I am considering buying a Jeep Cherokee 2.5 Diesel, probably somewhere in the range of 1993 to 2000. Are there any common failings of this model I should be aware of before parting with my money? The vehicle would be used for getting me too and from work, a 15 minute sprint down the motorway, and for towing a trailer or caravan. TIA --

Can the jimny's suspension be softened a little by fitting different springs etc? potholes are making my head fall off

I need to transport some horse poop across yorkshire to some allotments in Leeds. Which 4x4 will carry the most horse poop in the back?

I am having problems starting from cold, engine turns over fine when warm. Seem to get a small cloud of smoke from rear of engine when struggling to start. I have had this problem for the last 3 winters and nobody can seem to rectify. I have had this into several garages and they cannot find a fault. Even on the diagnostic machine. They have replaced my glow plugs, leads and fuel filters etc...

I need a Chelsea tractor to take my kids to school. Can you recommend one to me? My wife will be driving it mostly. She'd like a big one.

Its really annoying - the only time I see them "off road" is when the "birds" park them on the pavement - Is it because its safer for the "kids" there?

Hi, I have a 2006 Isuzu Rodeo (Dmax) 3litre jeep. I find when I use 4H for slippery Icy conditions, my car slows down to a halt while turning corners, and then it doesn't move unless I really accelerate and push it to go! Why is this? I read in the manual, that you use 4H for slippery road conditions, but only 4L when your really stuck..

I am thinking of buying a larger caravan which will necessitate a larger car and I have been thinking of the new versions of the L200 or Nissan Navara. Can anyone tell me what the real world fuel consumption of these vehicles is like ? Any other info on running costs greatly appreciated Frank

Oil companies are pulling in record profits and the government says they can't do anything about it. Hurricanes have knocked the oil refineries down and you can feel it at the pump. And now you are stuck paying outrageous prices at the pump. This reason is simple... It's what we all learned in Economics 101: SUPPLY and DEMAND The demand for oil is at an all time high.

Is there one?? Tim.

A friend of mine handed me his fitted Cobra A Bar from his Cherokee but there appears to be something missing from the bottom. The bolts have a small threaded bar but for the life of me I cannot see where they fit. We have the same model and I am wondering if there is a bar that comes with it that he has left on his Cherokee. He seems to think I have everything Sean --

Hopefully someone here can help me out of an embarrassing problem. I agreed to wire up some spotlights on my brothers VW Taro. Plan was for them to be linked to main beam, in that they would be on with main beam, but otherwise off. I have wired several sets of lights like this other cars, and had no problems. I thought I was fine this time too, as everything seemed to work as expected. ...

Diesels do that, at night with a car following you, you'll probably think a fog has descended! It really shows up under...

I have a Land Rover County 110 1986 which suffered a fire in 2004 when the starter motor became faulty. Difficulty in getting a new starter motor meant that I had the old one repaired.
