Since when does the british government listen to it's people Question Question

Strikes, blockades won't do anything, not when they're raking in nearly £80 for every £100 spent Shocked The only way to make them listen is to stop buying fuel altogether, but they know that ain't gonna happen, they're laughing all the way to the bank.

It's hurting so much I've snuck in over here from the proper Land Rover sites (Defender2 and Disco3) to see what mpg you ladies get. Not sure 35mpg is enough of an incentive to book myself in for gender reassignment though. Now 25mpg, that's a mans kind of fuel economy. Mr. Green

Rolling with laughter Thumbs Up

Nip over to Disco3 and you'll see all the "NoDo$h is gay" threads, all because of a little misunderstanding on Salisbury plain..... Shocked I'm going to be writing to Adobe to see if they can ban things being photoshopped pink. Rolling Eyes

In all seriousness, I had a look at a FL2 HSE at the weekend when picking my car up from some minor inter-service mechanical intervention (a nice way of saying the D3 broke again) and am now seriously looking at the sums. It's been months since I last used the 6th and 7th seat and I'm using the 2.4 'fender when it gets muddy these days so have to question my sanity in hanging on to the Disco3. Saying that, I'm looking at £8k cost to change to save £2k a year in fuel. Obvously cost to change only goes one way the longer I leave it, but had planned on keeping the D3 for at least another 2 years.

Now why did you put "No protests needed, fuel price isnt so bad" in the poll do you expect goverment to secretly register in the forum and vote one hundred time that fuel is cheap ?
Voted for you as PM as maybe you will make LR give FL2 owners free fuel overentire ownership. Thumbs Up

Did not know yesterday what triggered this poll but heard this morning on the radio that there was a truker protest in London Thumbs Up
Unfortunately as we used to have the same here the government never gives up taxes Big Cry or if they do they do it like this

Normally if elections are near they at least promise to have a look. Mr. Green
