[ARC5] [Milsurplus] British Radios Quote

Yep, we used to joke about the Series vehicles that the way to tell if they 
were out of oil was if they stopped leaking.  But strangely enough, I ran a 
1996 Disco 1 for 17 years and the only oil leak it ever had was from a rear 
differential pinion seal failure.  I've only had its replacement, a 2013 
Disco 4, for a few months so it's too early to tell whether the problem is 
still fixed or not.
