    Diesel in the US

    Hello, Yes, your certainly going to need deep pockets to maintain these new breed of diesels. Interestingly petrol engine efficiency is making inroads into diesel efficiency. Highly boosted smaller capacity engines have good torque and efficiency, how long these will last in a large 4x4 we can...

    Diesel in the US

    Hi Greeni, Contrary to my thoughts on modern diesel I like it for now. We have a 2011 S model which we paid £15k for a year ago, tinted windows, leather and satnav. Being canbus upgrades are easy, a cheap set of Rangerover sport steering wheel switches and switch in the ECU we now have cruise...

    Diesel in the US

    I love diesel power and it really suits Landrovers and othe 4x4, but some how I think their time is limited. Their emmissions are quite bad, and to get them somewhat cleaner their capacity is ever shrinking with higher boost and injector pressure and more complicated engines. They can be a real...

    discovery 1 for year traveling Africa

    Good advice there, bloody good website. Great place to get up to date information whilst on the road too such as road conditions. My advice would be to get tracks4africa we used it for Namibia and Botswana, extremely useful and very accurate from what we saw. Steve

    Excellent, look forward to seeing it :) Thanks its turned out well. I have the ANR1534's on mine, they seem to be the cheapest of the wide standard looking steel wheels now. I missed the days they were cheap as only got them last year. They are great with the 255/85 R16 tyre size just a shame...

    GAP Diagnostic– new products / IIDTool update announcement 12/2013

    Hi Steve, You have a customer here should you get around to doing 2011 Freelander2 and Defender TD5. I have an early Nanocom evolution but it won't work on our Freelander2. If you do the Freelander2 will it be able to reset both of the service notifications? One of them I believe needs a...

    Loving everyone's pictures. It's been a while since I posted a picture so here is mine after not driving it for 5 months, I had forgotten how terrible the ride was but still gave me a smile :) I have a photo editor on the iPad and played a little with the picture.

    Next Generation Defender must be "more desirable to look at"

    Not a word I use lightly but simply unpossible.... And yes Jeep did an excellent job with the JK.
