Why you'd buy one that may still be gathering dust on the local MD is a good question, but old brochures are quite a thing in the classic market. I have a bought the brochures the fit my old cars just to go in the history file. You'll find boxes of them at Autojumbles...

Not sure about the new wheels, Gav.... They look a bit 'wooden' :dance: :lol: :roll:

If you remember, Land Rover were part of Ford Premier Auto Group for a long period, so that is when the windscreens became available for LRs - and I remember the winterized Wolfs being fitted as were all the others if you could find the wires! As Les says, trucks and buses get them (we have...

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :D

Those heated windscreens are only available on Fords (and Ford group cars) because they hold the rights and are only willing to sell them at a price which other were not willing to pay... :sick: They should be made to release them or at least have the decency to let them go cheap as a safety...

The Germans have carrier nose wheels for their Useless fighters the Ty(Bu)foon, even though they don't deploy a carrier force! We could do that on the endless tranches of Useless fighters we've committed to :doh: . Some of the GR9 Harriers were only re-engined last year! A Ground Attack...

I recently fitted a JVC KD-R901 head unit with Halfwits wiring adaptor to stock wiring with Alpine speakers in the original holes. It lacks bass but they are only 100mm drivers. I have a set of bass kit to go in but not yet built into boxes :roll: . The head units does CD (inc all CDR/CDRW)...

Yesterday, I drove past a gritter truck in a ditch over here in Nor'n Ireland. A friend had told me it was there so I looked out for it, and in a ditch it was! On its side enough that I could have stood on the side and deep enough that I wouldn't have to climb up to stand on the side...

If the pic is accurate (and lets face it, when were they ever accurate on ebay?) then it doesn't match my sitting on the table here. It dose only list the 100 series too... Cheers

I have a couple of Ram mounts (not by choice, so I've no idea if there are any better about) as they were supplied with GPS/Satnav equipment (TomTom Rider 2). They have performed ell so far. Where did you get yours? Mine came from http://www.adventure-spec.com/shop/index.php, they did very...

Chris, Totally agree on the Bid/Bin thing, there is a lot a general dissatisfaction with ebay at the moment... I think it may have had it's era. The prices of these thing are a bit less than last year, but not for much longer, I suspect. I was asking the other way around about the engine...

Chris, Karl, Have you seen the difference here? :shock: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270665928460&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_1924wt_1139 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270678655301&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:VRI#ht_1995wt_1139 And the first one was...

Sounds all a bit odd... are you certain you connected the correct polarity? I ask because unless you get specific left and right batteries, the pos and neg are the same way round and the cables are not( OEM on mine are a pair of handed batteries). Jumping across surely defeats the 24v relay as...

He is to be cremated next week....Gas mark 6, 25 mins per pound with stuffing and bacon..... Bootiful! :doh:

I unfortunately died under a Tube train in Oct 10 whilst dressed as my alter-ego, Sonia apparently. Far more embarrassing than that, I was previously a Human Rights lawyer specialising in asylum seekers :oops: . Those who still know me would not recognise those attributes, sitting (as I tend)...

Funny :lol: But :naughty: not sure I approve... :snooty:

Already replaced the oe solenoids for sealed one. I'll get stop type switch. The key with pull cable as used on rally cars will probably be the way ahead as I don't want to have the push off type on show all the time. You're all correct, it would be sensible and give piece of mind.

I've wired my winch without an isolator in the circuit, but have the solenoid send/switch pos on the accessory circuit. Do I need and isolate/stop switch? If so where would I get a suitable 400amp continuous type switch (Clearly it doesn't need to switch that current, just flow it)

Ecky, It's not so much welded on as the the centre section beneath the ally step plate is the rear cross-member (it's where some of the tow hitch mount bolt on). The two plastic bits are just plastic dressing over a couple of tin plate brackets. Gav has led the way if there is too much damage...

For the Eddie Izzard fans, no doubt... "Oui, Oui, et la souris est pre de le table!"

1980 Morris Marina 1.7 (OBY632W) (Sold later scrapped) 1969 Triumph Vitesse 2litre Mk2 (NMA862H) (scrapped) 1978 Ford Escort Mk2 1.3GL (EPP690T) (Sold later scrapped) 1983 Rover 3500SE (SD1) (KUR380Y) (Sold) 1976 Land Rover 1/4ton Lightweight V8 (JRO 895N) (Still going) 1978 Renault 5 Gordini...

Roxio came installed on this machine. Seems OK.

Definitely in! Might be after some STT s before they become a thing of the past, and they'll be done OWL inside

He did the whole thing in LEDs including all the switch and instrument lights and all in blue. Looks impressive, if a little OTT. Bear in mind if you're thinking about a map light with red LEDs, all your map colours will be up the creek (there red light readable maps available, certainly for...

If it's the same as an 80 the carpet comes out easily enough. Seats out, console out, sill trims off and poss the b pillars. Clips or velcro up under the dash and the footrest in the driver's well and pull it all out. The boot carpet is separate. I did mine about 6 weeks ago and jet washed...

Picked mine up from the Post Office today. Excellent kit :D (with a slight reservation about the grammar :naughty: ). Thank you, Kevin (and Crispin in my case) for organising this buy. :thumbup:

Would someone like to show me a 'period' in ENGLISH? I assume a Full Stop is implied, but what the Americans are supposed to know about English language, I really cannot fathom! Nice quiz, Ecky

I believe he's in Canterbury area. I'm in Chatham when I get home... :roll:

I've got a couple of those from them too... He's a very helpful chap and the sealed solenoids are ok too. There is a noticeable time lag in operation but not a problematic one.

So they may yet arrive? :liar: :thumbup: :lol: :thumbdown: Just let us all know when you do. 'Tis all we can ask...

Off the other site, you need the twin core black & black/yellow, just unplug from the gearbox. http://www.tlocuk.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1078&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

can't get this into one word.... MP :snooty:

Almost like I suggested in the second post on this topic :lol: Chas, do you have an 'in' with X-Eng? The disc may hang a little too low for some people but I'm in. Whether it works or not, the original system is too much arrrrsing around in the maint dept

Used every time I stop, mine being a manual, and for hill starts. Best way to stop all this seize up stuff is to keep it well maintained and crud free, it's not too difficult to free off if you practise it prior to your trip. Don't believe the FSM about 7-8 clicks backing off when setting...

Mine arrived yesterday too, and making a couple of educated guesses on feedback, we have some very strange user names on Ebay! :clap:

Yes Some of the time ;)

I'm with you two, 5w30 is too thin for a big old diesel like the LC 4.2 but it what Toyota is currently doing. I would also agree with doing the oil changing yourself to get to know the truck and I do all my servicing myself (mainly for cost reasons). I have started using Opie as seen on this...

I questioned that at the dealer and he said that 5W30 is what they are putting in everything at factory recommendation, in fact, he said were I to have the bottomless wallet required and get my 16 year old diesel serviced there, it would have that oil put in it by them. I don't think I agree...

Try Julian Voelcker for the bearings though they're in short supply (he has supplier in Romford Essex who are the importers - but they were out too recently) Not sure about Graphogen, but I used Redline Assembly Lube when I did mine from Opie Oils (see the vendors section). I have been using...

That can't be the real plate can it? Bat, Is the EECo SVT series a favourite or is is it any any chunk of engineering you appreciate? (if I'm being a pedant, surely the Napier Deltic has only 9 cylinders but 18 pistons... I'll get my overalls...)

Almost certainly... The 200 is a splendid machine, the first choice of insurgents, Private Security Companies, Generals and rich travellers. Whereas the new Range Rovor is the choice of footballers' wives :lol:

Land Rover Aerobics.... Up, 2,3,4 Down, 2,3,4,

There are other pattern parts... I discovered mine has a Hella starter motor on it whilst under it the other day. Some of the larger electricals do their own refurbs. Might be worth a look...

Well, with today's rain the lack of carpet has shown I need to look at my sunroof drains. :roll: Never a dull day :violin:

Well, today was a rather flat day (a Rhubarb and Custard reference for those that might remember...) I have been thinking for a while that the unknown TVSS alarm in my '94 truck could be a problem waiting to happen. I have a Thatcham Cat 2 Immobiliser fitted (another insurance tax...

I'd suggest after 9 months it had just worked loose... Check your nuts :shock:

Clearly not done her any harm if she's lost 4 dress sizes from stress :lol: :whistle: (now ducking for cover) Strange reaction to bad news.... I'm not sure that's what I'd expect if I told my mother I was off to Afghan :think:

Well, Chris sort of triggered the action but I have been preparing for this for a while (as Julian V and Ian Rubie can attest). Today I spent an ion doing the BEBs on mine. No symptoms, just saw Chris's and bit the bullet. 132663miles young and apparently in fine fettle. Apart from getting...
