I was pulling your leg Alberto! and your input is appreciated. I'm the FL1 biggest critic, it has many faults and at the same time one of its biggest fans. The L-series is a solid engine, the most reliable of the bunch, some N.I. Rover drivers tune their L-series to 150bhp.:cool...

What about ye Jim........................Look it's Jim everyone As you were advised, front tyres are the correct size, not unless you have slicks on the front and full 12mm tread on the rear?

Sure keeps us on our toes.........and besides, what else would we be doing (Charles Bronson)

It has come a long way and most V.Bulletin forums use the same format especially in advanced settings I always feel best to throw in the additional nugget of info into existing threads, keeps it collectively together! True, we have the tratter boys to contend with.

As in the title - Don't be rude to septic tanks (yanks)

That was our fearless leader - Ming..............un Porky

Oh yeah, I go into that section to ask about my other 'Freelander' now and again..........that's a mega thread btw

Another update, I haven't devoted much time to this wagon and after several weeks battery had lost charge again. After a proper 12hr charge (not just jump start) the ABS light was back on It seems that pumping the brake hard several times seems to clear the fault and the light...

Here Bullie, in fairness, he/she did introduce themselves, they did say 'Thanks Les' What more intros do we need;)

You mean to tell me there are others?

Lesson in forum etiquette: learn to start the thread in the appropriate section - Anything Goes Who goes into introduction section anyway Mods please move.

For a minute there OP, I thought I was watching Jim Trott from the Vicar of Dibley - no no no no no no no! As for the U-shaped wire, this is the best tool of choice for the R660 which was the most common head unit fitted by LR (and Rover) up until 2002

I'm not one for introductions, at what point in the terms and conditions does it say You must introduce yourself before asking a technical question...... Sure there are people who ask questions, then never acknowledge the expertise on LZ and other forums In answer to your question-...

50p a blade ;)

Does the 23" one not overlap on the LHS pillar? The OEM are 22" IIRC? On most modern vehicles, the wiper blades can not be seen when fully down, they recess into the window valance. On the hippo they sit up high on the window. I started a wiper thread few years back...

Your next thread will be 99 L-series for sale, runs perfect, never misses a beat...honest ;)

20" ones from the Pound shop, not kidding.

Ahhh that's the South for you! they get more sun than us!

Thank you Sir, I like em bog standard ;)

Just do it, one life, live it, love it. I'm with Nodge, go Mondo mode to save you diesel, if anything should happen, log on here and the troopers will keep you right we wanna see plenty of holiday snaps of the old girl, Hippo that is!
