I would like to purchase another set of rims for "everyday road use" with Pirelli Scorpion or equivalent; keen to find out the advise on this one. I have seen some rims on ebay that have come off a 2010 D4, but wonder if the 'lower profile' may look odd on the Orange G4: The rims / tyres are: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251052173388?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1431.l2649 For sale is a set of 4 Land rover discovery 20" alloys taken off a 2010 Discovery Landmark edition there are only a couple of very minor marks on these alloys as shown in the pictures Tyres are Pirelli Scorpion zeros with around 4mm/5mm/5mm/4mm tread - 255/50 R20 109Y Alloys are 8.5Jx20 eh2 Tags 20" RIMS pirelli

I am also looking at possibly getting a road set of wheels to keep costs down, but I will probably stick with 19's By the way, good to see you in Tring the other day - I had a car full of excited boys on their way to a birthday party so couldn't stop!

I am also meeting with GreenFlow today to discuss LPG conversion at KLLR. Have you had yours converted? BTW: Yes - live in Bovingdon. And it looks like yours had a very similar plate to mine (originally BV 55 ZBC). I said to the guys in Mountain Mania, I would not be surprised if the cars were last seen together in Thailand and Laos! Let me know if you plan any outings - I am sure I will be able to get a vehicle full of excited kids too!!

Will let you know if there is a significant improvement on fuel economy..... Best Regards Andi BG08VFW UK & Ireland Selections Vehicle Fleet Number 1

Not much laning around here any more, and I haven't been out for a while, but I will let you if I am doing something. As for LPG, I don't do enough miles to justify it really, so it is nice to keep it mostly standard, although the rack will probably come off in the summer before I put some serious miles on it, just to cut the cost a bit.
