Naw, paid a grand which I didn’t think was too bad. Have I been robbed?

Sounds great, can you private message me who this person might be?

My budget was 1G, decided to get a fixer upper for 500. Was more the fact I just fell in love with her
@Gingerlugs you did well I think, price is going up slowly, half decent V8 is more than that

I’m afraid I cannot, I can never remember who it is, I just get the blame for giving his name out, which is Strange because I can never remember who it is

Replaced the bushes on the rear radius/axle to chassis arms. As luck would have it a PO had polybushed them so it ended up a piece of "P". New bolts and washers throughout, plenty of copper slip on everything ready for next time, if I'm still driving it.
Glad to say no rust discovered anywhere, but that is why she's mine.

Oh, I forgot. The connector on my left hand headlight keeps coming off. So I get a bulb blown message on the dash. Pushes straight back on but doesn't last for long. I'm assuming the wee sockets are just worn. Anyone know if they can be bought and if so, part number?

I've been playing off road in mine.

Restored the steering wheel - finally got a good colour match and it now looks brand new. Last few weeks I've re-painted the rocker covers and refitted with new gaskets, removed the air compressor and tank as I have springs, added more wiring to improve battery charging (and cleaned all the earth points), repainted the scratched up bonnet and wing, repainted the wing mirrors, removed a bloody stubborn rear bumper and fitted my restored tow bar - required a grinder and new brackets, removed the centre silencer, repainted the grill - might put the black back on there though as the silver one I got for free doesn't look great, installed a reversing camera, resat the rear springs with new isolators as the previous owner didn't fit them correctly and given it a bloody good clean. Oil flush and change tomorrow and then I got my bits for the new rear discs, pads, calipers and carriers (to go with the new fronts, pipes and abs boost pump). Done loads more recently - the extra few hours a day in lockdown from not commuting are being used "well".

Think outside, no box required.
All the baffles fell out my centre silencer and are now rattling around, the stuffing is also hanging out making it look like it has a tail.
Oh and I think she has a slight EAS leak...
Not sure though, might be my paranoia making me see things!!
I need an exhaust though, a new OEM system seems quite dear though, and the Stainless ones from the bay seem to be a bit mix and match.
Hmm..

Cannot remember. My ability to remember names is not good!
Cruise control is probably the vacuum hoses, silicone will do to replace it. I've gone LED on the interior lights and reversing lights, although the latter throw an error.
A grand is about right for a 4L.

You are brave driving. across a grassy meadow on your own. In all the gnarly lanes and tank tracks I have driven I have rarely got stuck but give me a wet and slightly boggy grassy meadow and i get stuck every bloody time!

Replaced final brake disc, (again), and new pads, guide pins and calliper. Bled the brakes. Followed RAVE to the letter. There really are a lot of letters, i know we talked about that, but there bloody are! Had those front wheels on and off more often than a face mask! What a palaver.
However, those brakes really work now.
The disc I took off had done one trip from new, completely buggered because i did not fix the callipers last time i replaced it - now all 4 wheels done.

Have you replaced the steel brake lines to the rear if not Now is the time to do it, as if they have not been done you will be shocked at the state of some of the pipe work at the back,
we did a thread on brake pipes a couple of weeks back.
