    I've never ran a car on additives. There seems to be as ever varying opinions, but the ally heads are fitted with iron seats so may be ok without either. I've done about 60k in my 3.5 nearly all on gas ( which has even less lubricating properties) and I've never had problems except for the rings. So unless your doing big mileage etc I wouldn't bother

    Is that as a business car?

    Just had a quote from nfu for a grand, for a 2007 astravan 1.7. Full business use fully comp. I'm 28 with full no claims. Seems a bit steep to me but being my first car for business use I don't know. What are people paying? Cheers mike

    Another vote for the husky. Reliable and well established. No brake etc to worry about just fit and forget. About 400 tops on ebay.

    It is gas converted but as it I'm probably getting about 22-28mpg equivalent, I'm still looking at getting double that plus cheaper insurance hopefully, and also a car that isn't always needing something doing to it!! Cheers for the recommendations there's a fair list to go through there haha
  15. mikecotterill
    Haha I might as well keep the one I've got Cheers for replies autoyrader tomos I think
  16. mikecotterill
    Cheers I'll have a look at the 306 Rob, bit too small for me those cars

    Right I need to get a car that does more than 12mpg. So my favourite at the moment is an astravan as there sposed to be able to manage 50+mpg. But I'd like opinions on others before I get one. Basic requirements are good mpg and some room in the back! Doesn't really have to be a van but could do with some carrying capacity. Cheers mike. Oh budget not massive about 2-2.5k depending what I get for the rangie!!

    I've got one of these Very heavy all in but it rarely comes out except in very boggy areas or if your well stuck, not sure on price but I paid £50 for it.

    I've had this with replacement units for the landy, had about 3 or 4 on one light, the plastic either isn't tough enough or it's not moulded to the right dimensions, the pins on the bulb just wore past the grooves of that make sense, then the bulb popped out. Finally solved it with a genuine unit, but I tried both wipac and britpart ones.

  21. mikecotterill

    what about a ground anchor knocked in, then drive over it, with it in the middle then fasten it to tow points on the bumper? thought of doing this myslef but never needed too yet. i take it your moving logs around? rather than pulling trees over. ive yet to have a problem pulling trees over and mines only a 90 so less weight.

    Saw this in a tree today not the best photo tho. All the sides were smoothed, I'm sure I read somewhere that this an indication of bats??
