Thread: Huston we have a problem

On the way home tonight in my newly acquired Disco I have come to believe that the gas gauge is a little less than accurate. This would of course not be a issue if I could have flicked over to petrol. This won`t happen till I replace the fuel pump. On the up side though, whilst trying to organize a car carrier to get me home, one pulled up in front of me. Turns out he was on his way home. This car carrier guy must have a serious drinking habit considering the amount of beer money I handed over. Still he was A: cheaper than a phoned for one and B: a whole lot quicker. It was like a pit stop. I stopped, got out, checked the engine bay for any thing obvious, car carrier pulled up and we where gone.

It might have taken a few hours based on my own experience.

And where I quietly rolled to a stop I was mighty glad that one was on hand so quickly. Naturally as thing happen for me, I stopped just round a sweeping bend with a high bank blocking any vision for oncoming cars till they where nearly onto me. Made getting out of the Disco a fast maneuver.
UncleHo your reply makes me realise now why the seller new how many K`s he got from a full tank, also about 300 K`s . I do now remember him telling me at length how he did the same as you and have learnt the hard way why he kept tabs on the K`s as he omitted the bit about the gauge being sus. Funny how the little things the forget to tell you seem to matter.
