Lots of trialling still happening with the ALRC. We are the MSUK’s biggest customer in terms of permits issued per year. Where are you in the country? There are events to cater for all types of vehicle from showroom new models to CCV vehicles like this thread.

Do you mean a 300Tdi with the completely different dash & interior?

Think you have to remove the dash. The fan stopped working on my Disco when I had it on the road. Mine was H plate, so similar age.

Personally I’d get rid. They serve no practical purpose and won’t show any benefits. Just another point of failure and maintenance. If they had been needed or offered significant benefits. They would have been fitted from the factory by Land Rover. And they never were in the best part of 40...

What rims do you have exactly? Are the tubed or tubeless rims? What do you plan to use the vehicle for? 7.50 x 16 is a good size, quite tall. But very poor choice these days. Modern tyres tend to work better than trying to stay old fashioned. There are lots of other potential sizes you could...

Here is what I’ve done: I was part way through the application when I took the photos. You can see a huge difference plus a few spots I hadn’t done yet. Very easy to apply and claims to last 200 washes.

Thanks. I can’t actually see much for sale. MuddyMods doesn’t seem to list much these days for the FL1. I’ve found this sump guard...

What sort of skid plates and the like do people run on their Freelander 1’s? I’ve found a sump skid plate. Although if I’m honest it is the nose of the Freelander that seems to take the stick. Are there any skid plates to protect the VCU? It seems quite vulnerable where it is.

If you have to ask, then the chances are no. As the 2 vehicles share no common parts and are totally different designs.

The S2 might have been built for less years. But rare it most certainly isn’t. Let’s use a little common sense here! As far as classic cars of this sort of age go, they are vastly numerous and common. Especially in the U.K. where there are loads and loads on the road still. And yes, quite aware...

I love Series motors. And of course you have to pay what the market demands. And hopefully they will retain that value as an investment. But in reality they are not worth £15-20k not even close. Not when you look at what else you can buy for the money. And what they can do as a vehicle. It...

Rarity??? Not convinced at all. Dash is one difference, but can’t see why it should be a deal breaker in the grand scheme of things. Not that I’ve ever seen any “curl”. Crack maybe, but not curl. Parts wise nope not really. There might be a bolt or so here and there. But considering most of the...

Sounds like there is a lot wrong with that one. But not unusual tbh. Shiny bits done for rebuilds while ignoring important components. Firstly why are you looking at diesels??? The petrol is a lovely sweet engine and much more refined. Mpg shouldn’t be as vastly different as you’d think...

Apart from Willy waving how is a Series 2 more desirable??? :rolleyes: They are about 99.8% the same as a Series 3 anyway….

A downloadable app would be great instead of a webpage that logs you as soon as you leave. That would make it much easier to use on mobile devices. Downloadable maps would also be great. As often in the wilderness phone signal is poor. I understand there is likely a cost angle here. But I...

Get out of bed the wrong side today or are you always this Victor Meldrew?

Why?

It should certainly improve it. If you want to tear into the engine then you can do a lot more of you are prepared to swap pistons and the like. In an odd way Peak power is not always so different between the different Rover V8 displacements. The heads become a limiting factor at a certain...

Thanks. I’m sure it isn’t that hard. Just a bit fiddly and I suspect not all that hard to get wrong. If I rebuilt it myself and it didn’t fix the problem. I’d not know if there was another issue or if it was a failed rebuild. Although in reality, I’m not sure I’ve got the time and effort to...
