    winch

    Not really man enough for serious off road stuff, but I find this little beauty usefull for general hauling. It fits onto a tow ball, so with towballs front and rear I only need the one winch. It's not quite small enough to lose in the secondary battery pod, but it stows neatly away in the boot...

    Pic request - Modded P38 Range Rover

    The Bling-mobile got an instant veto from the Mrs (Well we are OAPs). I wasn't too sure about the Disco front end either, but it was exceptionally well built. We don't need an off roader, just winter wheels, so the wife stopped me bidding any higher on that one. Fairly sure the top two were...

    Here's one I considered ... I got out bid on this one .... But I bought this one ... It's a wee bit thirsty, but I'm well happy with it. Johnny.

    Weber/Edlebrock 500 experts, IMS question....

    If you find a set that's maybe just a little bit too dear for you, waft it under my nose mate .. I just might be tempted. Johnny

    Drivers door dead bolted

    I could get in and out via the passenger door, so it wasn't a huge problem for me, but where I live, just leaving it unlocked was safe enough. From the articles, I gathered that I might need to break the lock, so I ordered a new lock first. Being unsure of the exact type needed, I ordered...

    completely locked out P38

    These may help ... Maybe, maybe not. They are aimed at Yank P38s, but the info got my '85 RRC doors open. Door Lock Failure: Getting the Door Open (4.0/4.6/p38A) Alternative way to Getting the Door Open (4.0/4.6/p38A) Johnny.

    Drivers door dead bolted

    My '85 RRC drivers door totally locked up on me a while back. Although aimed at a later P38 Rangie ('cos the early ones weren't sold in USA), these two articles gave me enough info to get the door open. Door Lock Failure: Getting the Door Open (4.0/4.6/p38A) Alternative way to Getting...

    Why do foglights only come on with full beam?

    There are many different ancillary lights in use nowadays, but they are basically in three groups :- Spot lights ... (also called Driving lights) ... a bright narrow beam ... only allowed on with Main beams and must go out with dip. They usually have a clear unfluted glass with a covered...

    Roof headlining I'm gona DIY it

    I probably will end up doing that, but new material would really stand out against my 26 year old upholstery. As a tempory measure I'll just have to try to find some buff coloured towels to replace the black ones ... or stop being lazy and tuck the screens away in the boot. Looking forward...

    Roof headlining I'm gona DIY it

    Thanks for the offer Dopey, but I'm looking for a beige to blend in with the seats. I'll keep looking in the scrapyards, but there ain't many yards around here now. Still keeping me eye open around the farms, but though old landies are common, Rangies are quite rare around here. Johnny.

    Roof headlining I'm gona DIY it

    I know this is a strange request, but I'm looking for some OLD headlining material ... Two bits about 12" x 24" will do it. I have DVD player screens mounted on my headreasts which I normally cover with some micro fibre cloths, to keep the sun off, and make them less obvious in Tesco's...

    Roof headlining I'm gona DIY it

    My droopy head lining is annoyingly touching me head now, so I'll be following this with interest. Too many other things to sort out first, so a professional job isn't an option just yet. I do need to remove the roof panels in the near future though, as I'm bodging some roof rails, which will...

    not your usual headlining question, well sort of!!!

    can you leave car unlocked

    Have you tried shooting next doors cats? For some reason they leave my RRC alone but I've had to disconnect the alarm on the old Jaguar. The buggers seem to like rubbing up against it. They use it as a sunbathing platform during the day, and sleep under it at night. They must have some sort of...

    engine bay

    OK, accepting you really are new to all this ... Gunk is the trade name for a long established degreaser / engine cleaner. It's been around since before the war. It's good, but it won't work miracles. Halfords, or any car parts factor will stock it. Honest, just google the word. Johnny.

    What mileage is your Range Rover Classic on?

    40823 Nearly snuck into the 'under 40,000' group, but I've been using it lately. How come the low mileage? It was parked up for ten years before I got hold of it. '85 4door RRC, 3.5 v8, carbs, springs. All origional and running well. Johnny.

    Front Tow Ball

    Walrus, That camera system looks a lot better than the Chinese one CPC are offering. Much bigger screen and a lot cheaper too. I've tucked it into my 'watching' file. Maybe for Xmas. I haven't actually bought a caravan yet, just working towards one for next summer. Johnny.

    Front Tow Ball

    Thanks for the offer Dr E, but I've ordered the Westfalia one mentioned earlier. It's readily demountable so it can be used front or rear, and stored in boot. What price you looking for? My son might be interested for his Defender. Is it just the winch, or does it have any mounting brackets...

    Front Tow Ball

    Success ... I won the E-bay auction for the front Tow-bar. £43.02 ... bargain methinks! All I gotta do now is drive all the way to Leeds to pick it up. Toying with the idea of one of these too ... Any good for you Walrus? STREETWIZE|SWRC24|2.4" WIRELESS REVERSING CAMERA | CPC Johnny.
