changing the engine in my rickman ranger from a ford kent to a ford pinto	29 Jul 2006 20:10 GMT	1
I need to know if a ford pinto engine will fit straight in where a ford kent came out. Does anybody know what modifications would be needed? It would be a great help to us in trying to restore our kit to its former glory :-)

2000 Range Rover County Experience	29 Jul 2006 14:46 GMT	7
I really enjoy driving my RR. However, the things that have broken down seem excessive. I just wanted to know if I have a lemon or this is common. I only drive it on some weekends and it only has about 30,000 miles.

Gearbox Temperature	27 Jul 2006 08:01 GMT	9
How hot should the gearbox and transfer box get? Mine is getting so hot it is raising the cab temperature, the bulk head is getting hot. Both gearbox and transfer box too hot to keep your hand on for more than a second. The handbrake drum is much cooler so doubt that is the source. ...
Historic Vehicle class	26 Jul 2006 18:23 GMT	12
Just got my Series Three back from its MOT test and computerised printout shows the year of first use to be 1971 but it's registered in September 1974. If I can prove the age to be 1971 I should be able to get it into the free "Historic Vehicle" VED class. Yey!
