I reckon one of these in the matching colour would be ideal too - I was thinking of putting one on as a normal antenna for my CD/Radio, but mounting it on the bumper . ebay item 250299008647

I dug out some of my old CB kit a year ago and set it up (I've still got quite abit of kit) - trouble was, all I could find was a set of old blokes who daily come on and chat (nothing wrong with that, but since I don't watch come dancing or keep pigeons or know anyone called "Sid with the wooden...

I've been wondering the same thing, although I'll be getting mine from a scrap yard! When my last alternator went, I found one in my shed I'd taken off an old metro I used for 4 weeks as a stop gap then scrapped! It fitted straight on the landy (110 2.5 n/a Diesel), same bolts etc, and I've been...

Mmm, think I'm going to tell them not to bother after all. It looks like they've took a bog standard race game and just put different vehicles and scenery in - nothing really off-road about it other than that. The behaviour of the vehicles looks like they've used the same dynamics as a road race...

Has anyone had a go at the Wii Landrover game? I've laid heavy hints with my family for Christmas (along the lines of "I'd like that as one of my Christmas presents" - so subtle you know?) after spotting it in Woolies. It says it comes with several Land Rover and (snigger) Ford off-road...

Sureterm were happy with lift and winch. Came out cheaper than I got from the big companies (also beat all the price comparison sites too - and they were quoting on an unmodified model) and to my surprise actualy got me a more comprehensive cover for less money than I'd had unmodified the year...

Like has been said, it depends what for. For posing about on the road or if you've the money to use garages to buy new electronic bits then I guess the bigger and newer engines are better - for ease of repair when breaking down in the middle of nowhere then the simpler older diesels with minimal...

Just an update in case anyone else ever has this problem. Sent for a new lift pump as seemd a likely culprit and only about £20. When it arrrived it was the wrong one and paddocks tell me thats the only one they can get (mine has the inlet/outlet on the side wich goes into the glass bowl and the...

I've been using SVO mixes for many years in citroen and peugeot (XUD turbo engines) with great results - my results from over the years are published on one or two web sites and I've been a proponent of bio fuels from well before it was (semi) mainstream. We are now well past the 100,000 mile...

Now thats a bummer! I go to huge lengths to avoid paying in car parks when I can - it's against my religion (actually, theres a thought, in this PC world I could probably claim that - what say we start a new religion - anyone who says it's stupid would be actualy breaking the religious hatred...

Can't have been a proper Traffic Warden then cos a police fixed penalty notice for a non-endorsable offence isn't £50 (its less) . It's been a council type warden (they aren't really traffic wardens but they like to call themselves ones - they dont have half of the legal powers the old yellow...

Reading the posts above, I just rang Sureterm - they saved me a tenner, which I would not usualy move insurers for, but given the quality of the service people say they get (and the guy knew about Landrovers! - That's a *real* change) I've gone over to them and the cover is *vastly* superior...

Gocompare.com and the AA databases do not recognise that there was a 2.5 engine made in 1984! I also found the same with some others (they utilise the same databases). Even speaking to them, they are adamant there were 2 1/4 engines still being made, but no 2.5s! So mine and all those others...

I have a boat, and obviously as much as possible (limited by cost) use stainless steel fittings and nuts/bolts etc. I have learned that there are differing grades of stainless steel - for example '18/0' stainless steel does have magnetic attraction - but is used in less aggresive situations -...

Thanks for that - isn't it typical, I had a chat this morning with a local mechanic who is into LRs and following his advice was ordering a new lift pump online and had just pressed to pay, then the email appeared saying new reply... and your offer of lift pump bits! c'est la vie! Thanks...

Nah, when it started happening I hadn't touched it for weeks really apart from checking oil levels etc. Soem good ideas there -I'm off outside to make a start on them (newspaper sounds bloody awful!). The idea of something intermittently fouling the pick up was the sort of thing I've been...

I wondered about this as it seems as if it might be something that moves -in the way that its OK for weeks and then reappears and is inconsistent in it's effect. the fuel tank is only about 2 years old otherwise i'd have suspected 20 years of crud in it. I've got a compressor - would you suggest...

I know - I though it hadn't gone on. Doh!

I've checked the cap when the engine cut out to see if there was any vaccum (As I observed on a friends car once) when the engine cut out, there wasn't any, but I'll go double check thanks.

Yep. -also opened cap wehen the engine cut out to see if any vaccum, none aparent.
