Big thank to to Rod (?) from Bebbington in the red 110 who stopped when my
RR decided to reject the recent heart transplant by dumping it's ATF from
the g box.
Nice to know that if a bonnet is up, the old Land Rover code still applies

Subject says it all really.
I've had to refit my wobbly door mirror as some female came blasting
round a blind corner in a Disco and smashed the previously fitted
non-wobbly mirror without so much as a backward glance.   Clearly my air

Anbody got any ideas where I can source plain black vinyl for
recovering my Series Seats? Want to buy it by the yard and recover
them myself, rather than pay for a new set of seats.

Er.. what's the UK spec for the filling nozzles for LPG kits? Is it some

I've recently got rid of my Discovery and 'discovered' a Suzuki jimny

off-road performance and rugged looks to match, I find myself leaving
Discovery/Range Rover owners behind in a cloud of their own smelly

on my 2.5na, smoke test was hit and miss fail sometimes 3 sometimes 2.5.
Asked diesel dude and he told me to screw the fuel screw out a turn, so I
did and checked the preformance on the way home.
It seemed to pull the same up long hills, so next day at work I gave it a

Following comments on this list I bought one and eventually managed to
fit it. It's designed for the bottom bracket to use the bolt holes for
the right rear grab handle. Which is fine if you have a "normal" rear
chassis cross member. Mine isn't, probably because it's a 50th

The temp gauge has gone all strange!  From cold, it indicates almost 1/2
