removed the spare from the bonnet and put it on me noo swingaway wheel carrier.

Also swapped the old knackered ally bonnet, for me noo GRP one. Nice simple job ya thinking? Lift old bonnet off drop noo one in and jobs a good un. ERRRMM NOOO!!!!!

cos me GRP bonnet is off a series and had series hinges. soo swap hinges over simples yes? NOPE cos the hole pattern is different, :mad: So drill noo holes for defender hinges and swap hinges over. and fit bonnet. NOPE :mad: :mad:

Cos the catch pin is fatter on a series. :doh: So swap pins over and adjust length simples? Yep, except the one on the GRP bonnet was rusted solid. Lots of releasing spray and gentle back and forth fettling to get it off, without ripping the mounting off the bonnet. But finally managed it. All that's left is to swap the bonnet stay over. Simples??? Nope cos the angle it sat at meant it hit the Rad bracket so Pipe bender out and a dogleg bent into it top & bottomm to get it to fit. And so a 2 minute job, turned into a 2 hr job :mad: Landrovers WHY THE FOOK do we bother.. :confused:

hello everyone

i am a new member to this site and am unsure how to use it
i have a range rover p38 4.0litre petrol every thing seems fine but it goes through allot of water i have to fill it up every 2or3 but i have no cream in the oil or on the dipstick and it doesn't over heat i have had the water pump checked and was told its fine so was just wondering what the problem was.
