New exhaust made and fitted this week. I’ve left the scorpion back box alone and just had the rest made including new Euro 5 cats. It’s not too loud just fruity when revved. It’s is full stainless with a 2.5 inch bore which is not over the top.

Happy new year to all on here and once again thankyou for your help and advice in the past year. Looking forward to meeting some of you this coming year at a few meets and events.

I did a very similar trip in the summer see my posts European Road trip 2023 ( The 3 lakes ) For hotels use Booking.com as on most you can cancel the same day before 18-00. So if you see something better you can just cancel but its always good to have a nightly destination in the bank so to...

3.0 D4. Its not mine thats gone fortunately but 2 of my friends have both had the same issue, one under warranty and one not. Its a well documented issue with the 3.0 engine unfortunately. I think if you consider how many have been sold worldwide it won't be a big percentage but significant...

Broken crank sounds like my landcover Discovery ! :)

Ive pretty much settled on a Subaru Forester, I quite like the 240bhp turbo petrol but its only available with the CVT ling along a max box so a diesel manual may be the better option. I will see and hopefully drive both.

A bit too much than I’d want to pay for something like that.

So the 2.0L one then ? What’s your thoughts on this ? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202308221080623

Ha ha he will need it thanks.

Right my budget and needs have changed ( sorry ) as I have decided to sell my Disco to a friend of mine who probably won’t be a friend for long when has to spend money on it. He’s getting it cheap so he can’t complain. So my budget will now be about 7k and I want a petrol 4x4 but not necessarily...

Nothing like a bit of power comfort and presence for winter 👍

That’s a good find Geoff.

Sounds good.

Unfortunately I need to get more than two people in.

Its now November and my Z is in the garage until March and Im thinking of a winter car what would you buy ? I only want to spend £3K. I want it to be petrol, 4x4 if possible ( not an absolute must ) but not a big suv as I already have a Discovery 3 which is giving me a few problems (Surprise...

Unfortunately it’s that time of year again. I’ve put my Z away for the winter having now owned it for a year. What a year though with the car. Its everything I wanted it to be and a bit more. I’ve traveled around Europe doing two and a half thousand miles and it never missed a beat ( apart from...

Hi Paul thanks for the tips, we should be ok for next years parking as we will be on your drive and getting our full breakfast before we set off for the tunnel ! ;) The car is going into a custom exhaust place at the end of August to have the exhaust right from the front including the cats...

Thanks Paul. Well we’ve been home a few days and we have really enjoyed the trip. I have to say and I didn’t say it earlier because I didn’t want to jinx it but the car has been fantastic. Apart from the engine light which came on 10 times during the trip (always on low revs and when hot ) It...

Very true Paul, when I dropped back to 100 it felt slowish and when I went back to my 75mph touring speed it felt like I could get out and walk 😁 I’m not a speed merchant anymore to be honest but like the odd blast preferably over twisty roads also not with my wife in. She has been a pretty good...
