Slightly smoother than standard but still bumpy on rough roads. The sports springs are just too rough to use and I need the vertical travel of standard because I have to drive over a few very rough farm tracks.

I’m happy I made the choice even if diesel is coming down as diesel is certainly going to be phased out for non commercial use in the next 10 years on environmental grounds through fuel taxes or some other form of penalty. As for bio diesel the only person I know who sells it here is the idiot MHK in Garff so again a no for me. So where is this bio-diesel then?

It's just plain old diesel. and has been for as long as I can remember. Fairy Cottage is owned and run by the lovely Ruby. She's been there for years and is loved by all, but she doesn't sell bio diesel, no sir. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as I have absolutely no requirement for it at all then I clearly hadn’t noticed they’d stopped. https://www.isleofman.com/news/view/21972864 And it was supplied by the current Garff MHK https://www.isleofman.com/news/view/21972876/bio-fuel-station-to-open Edited May 9, 2023 by offshoremanxman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
