I don't have much experience of either side yet really, but at least poly bushes are much easier to change again.
I didn't even get much of a test drive in as the damn thing decided to start cutting out on me after like 15 mins. I thought I...
Hi all,
Relatively new to my area and looking for someone decent to do a rear crossmember on my 07 Puma 90. Any recommendations welcome!
Thanks for your responses in advance.
Cheers,

No. Unfortuantly not, I did not find any new or second hand and am currently running with bare doors. I am not sure if I will bother with the diy route or not. I have other pressures on my time and they are fairly low down the Land Rover work...

Far easier method. I used a big G-clamp for the original type bush. In general I prefer using them where possible rather than poly,. Should point on there is no scientific reason behind my decision, well there might be but I don't know what it is 😂

Warm and sunny
Watered me plants early
Cleaning Freelander boot area today, get it nice for the road trip, noticed a handy 12v socket in there for me kettle :p
Chinese shooting stick arrived this morning, better quality than expected :)...
Been staring at rubber grommets for too long...Google is great but the amount of slop served up leaves a needle in a haystack type search.
They are close enough. And cheap enough to have a punt and see. And...the brackets are still at a point...
Thanks I'll drain some out.
Looks like its half a litre or so too much
Oil didn't go instantly black when I started it so that's a good sign
Next service will be easier now I know what I'm doing
Scotland / Ireland here I come :D :D
No worries, the cooling is the same with that port clogged hence they didnt use it on newer modells and it's blanked from factory, you can rest your mind on this
I'm currently ignoring that my L Series keeps immobilising itself. We don't lock the car but both times I've got in it today the little LED on the dash has been blinking and goes solid when I turn the key, I have to press the fob unlock before...
Get a V8 110 of an 85 landrover.(if you need a reg number to order I can give you mine) . same shape as the facet(barrel type) and a lot cheaper.
Mounted mine in the engine bay by the brake servo. I do forget to turn it on some days & it still...
