The is no oil cooler behind the fogs on a manual box, so fogs were fitted to some of them, I will fit them to mine when I find a nice cheap set.

Very true

 

[Datatek]

Funny enough mine is a manual DSE and the gearbox oil cooler seems to be piped as part of the radiator. Hence room for fog lights, (as much good as they are..)

manual cooler is in the bottom of the RAD.

 

[Datatek]

Yes manual box so no cooler behind there. It's integrated part of the main rad. My P38 has been tinkered with but the fogs do seem factory fitted?

Are headlight wipers/washers usual on lo-line DT?

No headlight wipers/washers on lo line DT.

 

[RangeRoller dt]

My mum had a sofa like that..

My sister says my P38 is like driving around in a 3piece suite

No headlight wipers/washers on lo line DT.

Some previous owner changed my vehicle to later clear lights. hi-line DT seems bit of an oximoron? Either they did make few or mine has been cannibalised from DSE

Or the original owner speced then on the build sheet.

Quite possibly, this was the original owners pride and joy back in the day.

Now it's mine...

I wonder if you can still get hold of the original build sheets. I once tried going back to the dealers who sold mine as new but they had long gone.
Just curious, would be interesting to get some background.

Found the book and turns out I've got all history for this vehicle from day one. First 18yrs had landrover service and extended LR assured warranty programme. A technical bulletin for neutral switch plastic cam. Originally M reg has had two private plates.
Owner information & service record only states :
Veh desc - diesel 2.5 trim level 1 (int?)
VIN label on slam panel trim D (ext?)

So the fogs and wipers must be standard?
I found something interesting from LR non franchise dealer in 2003...

Conversion for hotstart - £60

Nice load of info there
I am sure one of the stealers printed the build info out for me when I got the eka code but can I find it

Did they charge? I've got a LR security info card in the holders sleeve. Has Vin, radio serial number (OE no longer fitted), CATS security code and EKA

whereas a classic is like driving around in a 3 piece suit ?

Suit is appropriate as they drive like they want to kill you

 

[mikieman]

I think driveing a classic is like driveing a really beefy sports car
Or instead of driveing the classic
Your wear it
Like a suit of armor

 

[RangeRoller dt]

Then I'm not sure what sports cars you have been driving that feel like a 3tonne bus

 

[mikieman]

Lol
I’ve been driveing a 3/4 ton sports car
Better known as a truck
But seriously
My Rover does have get up and go
And fun to drive
For a beefy sports car

 

[tomcat59alan]

Wasn’t talking about the leaks,it’s the avalanche you have to worry about if you push the wrong button.

Oh the horse they run on 1 “bar” ley bag

cd
I've done that once, pressed the wrong button and opened the sunroof, 6 inches of snow on the roof, it ended in the Enemies lap, she was not amused

 

[marjon]

That’s why you need the stupid little plastic bump on the driver window
