Ebay is where I got mine...
my apologies... they were $20 - $10 each.
I could have made them myself for a lot less, the material is "skai" look a like leather but ordering from the sofa is fun too...

Makes a big difference, especially for about $25.
I will look into that! Sounds like am excellent idea - will see how that can be done and will check what material I need. it could be useful here in the North West. I was actually thinking about a white roof paintjob? last quote was about $225 - Makes it more distinguishable LOL !

I got these boots because i did not like the white stitching used on many of the others. Very fine fit and quality.

A 4'x10' roll is enough.
Just needs a little silicone, and pushed into some metal grooves. Anything that holds it up long enough to put the headliner up.
I suppose you could glue it to the top of the headliner board too, but more work than needed.
ebay, radiant barrier. I can't get the link to copy.
It'll work way better than a white roof.
I'm going to put it under my carpet too.

Two things today.

Found a parking lot full of snow, found a guy in works van stuck with RWD.

Pulled said guy out of the snow with Disco.

Had filled up recently to really measure gas mileage. Reset trip computer. Gas light came on today, **** 300km, yes km no kidding. I know its been cold here so a lot of idling but that's even worse than I expected and then some and I was realistic when I bought the thing. Far as I can tell this engine runs pretty smooth.

Anyone else see mileage this poor? Lol.

How hard are you driving? Snow on the ground everywhere? There's so many reasons to get horrible mileage in the winter. I average about 400km in the winter, but 600 in the summer

Different gasoline is sold in winter months, and also gets worse mileage.
Extra idle for warm ups.
Even snow, especially very wet snow that packs well, causes the truck to have to work harder.
I bet you gain a couple mpg in the spring.

I usually get about an average of 14mpg in the summer but now get 11mpg here in Georgia during winter with my ‘01 Disco 2.
What really sucks is that back in England I used to get 18 to 20 mpg on my ‘98 Disco 1 and 22mpg on my wife’s ‘02 TD5 Disco 2. Grrrrrrr....
