    Alternatives to Avon Rangemasters 7.5R16

    I have decided on replacing all my tyres with 235/85-16 Colway ATs so I have 1 Rangemaster (108 I think) in very good/almost new condition plus two others (110 I think) with some life left. If anyone is interested. I was thinking of about £25 ONO for the nearly new. The two other tyres I...

    Alternatives to Avon Rangemasters 7.5R16

    What about a pair of 7.50R16 108/106 N Colway AT ? £49 + reasonable P&P. I would not have to worry about having to change all corners at once like I would have to if I went to a different size. Do these need tubes? I think my current Rangemasters are tubed. Any suggestions on fitting...

    Thanks - my bidding strategy was a little wrong - did not have the bottle to hold out till the last few seconds otherwise I may have just got in there with no time for the buyer to retalliate.

    Leaking doors

    Before I bought my Landrover I was warned it would leak. But I am hoping to track down the one that leaves puddles in the drivers and passenger footwell. I suspect that water is making its way in via the window seal and running down inside the door (my door covers are off at the moment and I...

    Mechanic/welder in Surrey/SW London area

    Been told of someone decent in Sussex at £30/hr. Better than £45-£80. Will check hm out when I get 110 back on the road. Rear door frame fractured in a couple of places around spare wheel holder - need fixing before I fit some strengthening struts. Just found a hole in the rear...

    Fluid dribbling down tyre

    I pick up my axle oil seals tomorrow - before fit, I will do as suggested. To be honest, there appears to be too much fluid but no sign of the brake fluid level going down. Got some new brake shoes today which I will not fit until I am sure that there is no more leakage - vehicle is off road at...

    Alternatives to Avon Rangemasters 7.5R16

    I have not had my 110 long enough to say. I had a 125 trip when I picked it up - dire weather and down the M3 which is riddled with tramlines - nearly had to change my trousers when I got home when on two occasions I lurched suddenly to one side - probably the tramlines in conjunction with...

    Winter tyres

    I am looking at options for tyres and fine this web site has an excellent tyre size calculator. http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp - you just bash in your old size (7.5R16's are listed under additional sizes) and a selection of new sizes and it does the rest for you - including if...

    Mechanic/welder in Surrey/SW London area

    I am probably in need of having to get a few things sorted on my 110. Does anyone know of a Landrover mechanic and/or welder/fabricator in the Surrey, SW London,Berks area who does things economically for the love if it rather than £45/h for commercial reasons. I don't want a cheap job, but a...

    Company van

    Im not sure if the seller did it intentionally. He bought it a few days before (wish I had spotted that before I bid) and passed it on so quick, making a good many £££ profit that he didn't get a chance to check over what he had bought - I think he genuinly realised that it was...

    Fluid dribbling down tyre

    Just got a E reg 110 hardtop. Last week I had to change a rear drivers tyre and spotted fluid of some sort on the tyre - bottom or tyre chassis side of wheel. Doesn't appear to be much/any on the steel rim. Vehicle has not moved since. On the new tyre, I spot the same problem, fresh fluid. I...

    Alternatives to Avon Rangemasters 7.5R16

    Just got a 1988 110 Hardtop. My front two tyres are OK - Avon Rangemaster 7.5R16 8 ply (112/110) Two rear tyres are Avon Rangemaster 6 ply (108/106), one is new, one is very nearly out. The spare is probably illegal. So I need a replacement tyre soon. I am either looking for a decent priced...

    Company van

    Hi All I just bought my first Landrover - a 1988 110 Hardtop fitted with a Daihatsu 2.8 diesel engine. Trying to get it straight - paid over the odds on ebay - the guy selling obviously didn't own it long enough to notice any of its faults, or maybe he forgot to tell me before bidding...
