Another P38 about to be ruined.

I could put springs on it!!

My mate's old shogun used to have a rear air suspension of orange polypropylene boat fender things, replacing the completely corroded springs.
That worked.
When that thing stopped firing on six he just too the spark plug out and ran a large diameter drill through the hole so it made a better wooping noise.

Is this the wrong approach?

Done nothing with the RR today.

Such a nice day I've taken the other V8 to work... roof down of course.

Indeed. For me the issue is whether I can fix things in the field. I intend to keep this shed - and it's intended use is as a mobile beekeeping shed - and so I want to make things as simple as possible. Mayhaps removing the E from EAS will prove to be the solution in time....
I'll rarely be going more than a couple of miles, so ABS & TC are optional....

And so on.

I should have just bought a Series..... unbreakable.....

Shed, you mean you are buying an L322

Changed oil and filter. Fitted new fuel filter casing. Tried changing fan belt ended up breaking the already shagged tensioner. Ratchet strap kept tension on and me home off to get a new one tomorrow

Try driving both with a ton or so in the rear. See how light your steering is

I'm sure it can as it would be inside the nose weight limit, stick a load of weight in the back without the trailer and see how it feels

So just clarify.. are you towing a horse box containing two clydesdales, or are the two clydesdales in the range rover? you should put a blanket down to protect the seats

Got about 250+kgs in toolboxes and yeh back sits down by about 20mm compared to empty. But going by my motors history probs still has the original pas fluid in it Find the steering a little heavy compared to a mums d2

She's just hit the 150k mark. 5200miles (quite care and problem free mechanicaly considering age/milage) since doing the flex plate no loss of box oil. No bolts come loose. (Starting to relax that i never messed owt up) Oil and filter change to do again tomorrow that'll be 250miles from the other day i did it. (since the old was left in way too long and was like tar).

This last week I have found and repaired 2 faults on the eas and got it working as it should. I recoloured the front grill and it now runs on 8 cylinders.Next I need to suss out where and what to grease then all transmission fluids as They're probably 14 years old judging by the spark plugs.
