    120 ice

    I've had a look through the old threads and haven't found the answer so here goes.... My new truck is a 56 plate LC5. The touch screen sat nav is also the controller for the radio, multi CD and worse of all my heater controls. I've tried a research on the old interweb and can't find any unit to...

    THIS MAN IS KNOWN AS THE 'HUMAN CAMERA' This is quite astounding. If you have never seen this before, you are in for a treat. Some of us wonder what the best computer is in the world - It has to be the brain. http://video.stumbleupon.com/#p=0k4lsi1dql

    Pocket Handwarmers

    I've always had a soft spot for gadgets and in this weather a hand warmer can be a god send if you are stuck outside. For a number of years I have used this one Very good at what it does but two downfalls 1. It only lasts a couple of hours and has to have a new charcoal rod. 2. If you are...

    Holly

    Went laning last Thursday with Tommo and Greg and bought back some holly with berries for the missus for Crimbo. She was so pleased she forced me to take her out laning tonight to get some more. Life is so hard, the things you have to do to keep the other half sweet :D

    Road tyre view

    Just thought I'd add my little bit to the road tyre debate. I ran General Grabber UHPs on the 80 for a couple of years and they were awesome in all road conditions, including winter snow in the alps. Alright they were no where near as good as ATs but very good all the same. They were great for...

    80 series rear bumper and step thing on the top of it!!!

    My missus was driving back from Derbyshire this evening and had to come to a sudden halt on the M25 in lane five. The old fella in the Prius behind her decided to use the Cruiser's rear bumper instead of his brakes. So now I need a rear bumper and step for her cruiser. I may also need the...

    Number plate lights

    Started to get a bit peed off with the amount of number plate bulbs my motor goes through so started to look for a solution. I don't know if any of you have the same issue but both mine and the wife's 80s blow these bulbs on a regular basis. The alternator outputs are both okay so all I can...

    Deflector thingy

    Some of you may have spotted the thing that came on the bonnet of the wife's new 80. At first she liked it but after a while she wanted rid of it.....go figure :doh: So I took it off with the intention of e-baying or similar. But first I thought i'd have a shufty at what it looked like on...

    Accelerator pedal linkages

    Hi all, a bit of help please with a small issue that I don't want to get any worse. My pedal has been getting progressively harder to press. It is not major at the moment but I don't want something to break. I decided to investigate today, so starting at the pedal I checked that and the cable...

    Slindon Safari

    Me, Tommo and Crispin had a day out on the Slindon site today. Good day but I had a few issues like another tyre sidewall :cry: and my alternator seems to have partly given up. You might also spot on the photos that I got myself well and truly stuck :lol: How many Landrovers does it...

    Head unit

    I've been doing loads of research on head units but there are just too many these days. The wife wants one in her 80 and this is the spec she wants; Bluetooth for the phone. MP3 or whatever it is for the iPod. Must be able to control the iPod from the head unit. Preferably double Din to fill...

    Upholstery cleaning

    Slight change of location from carpets and seats which I have done before but does anyone have any idea of the best way to clean a roof lining. Mine used to be cream but is now a darker shade of pale :D or to put it bluntly, bl**dy filthy.

    Innertubes???

    Okay guys I need a bit of help. Whilst green laning in Wales I had a sharp piece of flint go through the side wall of one of my Grabbers. The hole is really tiny and there is loads of tread left. In order not to waste the tyre I am thinking of putting a tube in it and putting it on a steel...

    Rope

    Okay, nothing to do with cruisers but worth a try. As some of the fields some of you work in this could work. I am after old rope like climbing rope or any colourful stuff. Not the oily old tow rope in the back of your garage ;) I have been making rope toys for the Dobermann Rehoming...

    Girlie motor or??????

    Travelling up North with the other half yesterday and she pulled down the visor and opened the mirror which is when (after 7 years) I realised the mirror had a light in it. Then she tells me that my car is a girlie motor because I have a lighted mirror in my visor too. Lo and behold, she is...

    Bye Bye Willow, Hello ????????????

    Well, er in doors has been pestering for weeks now to change her motor. When she bought Willow last year it was the best move ever and Willow was the best motor in the world.

    Bath/shower mixer tap.

    Hi all I am after the above. Our bath tap is, to put it bluntly, knackered. Something semi half decent seems to be around £170ish. Anyone know where to try for a better price, or better still have you got one floating around in a shed? I have seen ones at around £80 but that's the mistake I...

    Dash Lights Alternative

    One of the things that has always bugged me about my 80 is that I can't dim the dashboard. About three months ago I had a wiring fault that torched all the wiring to my side lights and the dash. As a consequence I rewired the side lights but didn't bother with the dash until today. I have been...

    Planes and trains

    Well folks, just thought I'd share something with you. I grew up next to a busy railway line and never really noticed the trains because they were there all the time. Now I live on the doorstep of Gatwick Airport and after a few months of living down here I also stopped noticing the planes...

    Oh heck 2!!!!!

    During the MOT my mate calls me under the car and says that whilst he was testing the steering he saw very slight movement in the joint below (marked in white) on the N/S/F wheel. He says it might pay me to see if the four bolts need a tighten whilst I'm doing my wheel bearings. So today I set...

    Tow bar electrics

    Can't tell you too much yet because I only have scant info. My mate is also my MOT man, He tells me that in a couple of months the tow bar electrics will be coming into the MOT test. He isn't sure how this is going to work yet as when I mentioned recievers he said they aren't classed as tow...

    Oh Heck!!!!!

    Just a bit of a warning guys and somewhere worth a check. Never came across this in all my years of LR ownership and did not expect it on a cruiser. As the MOT is due, I decided to replace the two dodgy wheel studs as I have been driving round with just five wheel nuts and one of them cross...

    Roof rack question

    Hi all I obtained the roof rack shown below and i'm intrigued as to the make etc if anyone knows. It is a very sturdy aluminium rack that seems tailor made for the 80 or at least the removable mounts are tailor made. I have clambered all over it and it doesn't flex even a tiny bit, although I'm...
