I also don't think snow would be an issue. Just go above the cloud.

If you get one disconnect the arial lead for the central locking and invest in a synchmate. Mine has a Chip from Rimmer Bros and returns mid twenties to the gallon. It's good off road as well

Excuse my ignorance but what is a synchmate??, have you had any hot starting problems ? think there is something to help cure the problem but again dont know what its called,

piggysteve:
Mines fine hotstarting, you can get a kit to fool the pump into putting extra diesel in when starting hot. The synchmate resynchs the key fob to the BECM, sometimes the link gets lost mines done it twice in 3 years

James.Harwood:
P38a (nice 6 cylinder BMW engine that isn't commonrail injection) over TD5 (nasty commonrail thing).  However see my post on the buyers guide for the P38 in range rover technical.

lambert:
We had a yd5 disco commercial prior to the 90 and it wad hateful .no guts couldn't pull the skin off a pudding. Even worse with a big trailer on. Oh and it needed lr assist 6 times in 5 months, so it went back to the stealer and we got my 90 from an indie and it is proper bo.
