I has been busy bee today! Went to tyre man, got 2 new nankangs fitted, to the back wheels but on the wheels from the front! Very nice man happily swapped everything around. Name check to EDDSTREADS in Morpeth, Northumberland. Got home, chocked Ted and replaced secondary diesel pump, silence is...

looks like a bit under the bonnet of a fuel injected car to me!

How did you measure what came out? Daft question I know, but I use a 2 gallon plastic bowl and have seen very little over half full from anything so I remain content. The exception being a citroen c5 that nearly filled the bowl, the extra being to cover the rattling big ends/main bearings!

Ordered new wheelarch diesel pump. Current 1 is rattling a fair bit, but is still working, but I'm not hedging my bets. I've been into the in tank pump which was quiet as a lamb, good. Bet it arrives along with the snow!

About to pay £164 for a pair of Nankang sp5 to match others. Never used 'em before my hippo, 24k out of the fronts keep me happy. They've gripped enough for me everywhere I've been so there we go

Broke a fuel pump on way back from dropping Wife's RAV4 off at garage cos it's electrics is up swanee river. Oh well

Quick check for seized brake-feel the wheels. A hot 1 has probably got a seized brake, or a collapsed bearing but it's a good place to start.

Ordered some new tyres-Nankang SP5 to match, £82 a corner fitted. I can't fault them, 24k on the set, need 2 cos fronts are showing markers at the edges. Could have been the tired trackrod end, or me just being a bad driver (ask tdiStu!). They are half canny gently green laning-lower body damage...

If you haven't anyone in the back seats-drop the seats and use as a van, I do and my dogs are well happy. They've never tried to get in to the front, I think the width of the folded seats puts them off

technically mate-it's ####ed, take it to bits and sell them on ebay then weigh in whats left

FBH in a Hippo, has the ordinary 1 broken?

Took dogs (& wife) to seaside for a change. No mud to play in. Dogs happy. Thinking about taking wife's RAV4 to bits cos I'm bored. Actually, I think the MAF & throttle body are due a good clean, so I'll annoy her by doing that.

+1 Enjoy your Hippo, they are an excellent 4x4

EEE-he gotta cruise control master switch.

Hello Chris, Looking at the back of the head unit from my y2000 td4, I've the round pin BMW type connector block+male & female 10 pin block connectors for steering wheel controls & CD multichanger. So it looks like there are a few different head units out there, but I'd have thought the...

Don't know about butt plug. FL2 wheels need adapter/spacer thingy, I wouldn't bother.

TBH mate, I'd just go to my local LR specialist and get a pair of anti-roll bar links (or even buy some of ebay!!!) asking for my model year part. Cop out I know, but then I can blame someone else. I've always found Rimmers on the pricey side.

NICE, but he still has to open the window before shutting the door! and his left calf has bruising form the handbrake!

Back out with the dogs, & Missus to old quarry, dogs had good run. Had a bit of fun on wet turf,rocks & mud, lovely. I need a couple of tyres, can't complain, they've done 20k miles. I was going to change to more off road biased pattern (I'm running Nankang SP5s), but I don't think I need to...

I've owned Rangies, 3 all v8s. Worked I spent £40 000 on petrol ALONE in the 1st one, that's 200k miles if anyone cares. They rust, the electrics break, FFS I've had rain on the inside of the windscreen on the M6 on a friday eve. Yes headgaskets go regularly, and transfer boxes, and...
