    Clear front and rear indicators non LED cheap facelift but not pre 94?

    You can buy the connectors for the loom on eBay fairly cheaply, then you just crimp them on, plug and play. You need to ensure you get the polarisation correct as the replacements are diodes and will not work in reverse like a conventional bulb.

    My Land Rover dilemma! A tale of woe, a warning to other newbies and a request for advice!

    There's nothing wrong with doing that... it's a damn fine idea. What you are in affect buying is a legitimate Vin number... see what you have as a donor vehicle.

    Billing Off Road Show 2017

    So is the camping going to be in the same place as it was last year, adjacent to the aqua drome? Is that also where the show is going to take place?

    The 110 lives! 10 days after starting the real strip down tonight it started. We completely rewired it after fabricating our own dashboard and loom. Tomorrow morning we plan to finish the brake lines and take her out! Photos to follow.

    Some progress made this evening on the 110. Photos to follow tomorrow. Engine is now out, EGR blocked and a 74 degree thermostat fitted. Tomorrow I plan to get the body off, and maybe even have a rolling polybushed chassis by COP.

    Hello... again.

    I'd agree, we all clearly love them dearly, but if we are brutally honest with ourselves, they are money pits! I have kept an account of how much the rebuild is costing and the figure is sickening!

    Salisbury Plain - Off the ranges

    Yes that's the one, it's the stretch 400m S of the PP that is worth driving. There is also a series of BOATs 2km NW of Codford St Peter in a H configuration. not on the plain but still worth driving. Northern aspect of the Eastern Track is reasonably good.
