I stand corrected, I thought my owners handbook described them as tie-down eyes though it's a long time since I browsed the publication. nb: regarding the speedo, I should know for certain this coming week if a repair to mine is possible.

'Oops no offence intended; my remark was really aimed at people who hoard old vehicles on farms etc. & stubbornly refuse to sell to enthusiasts who either want to restore it or at least save rare parts. Eventually the vehicle dissolves into rust & is lost forever.

Actually a lashing eye, might not be strong enough with the brakes almost certainly seized .. no evidence of towing gear (an optional extra in period) but there's always the axle. Lets hope the owner isn't one of these 'it's not for sale 'cause I will do it up one day' morons.

Pre '87 MY judging by the lower tailgate release outside. Actually the top & bottom 'gates look pretty good considering .. at least from the distance the pic was taken.

I know nothing about Rave but do have the manuf. W/S manual .. weighing 3kg :rolleyes:

That's fine, I can take a closer look at my current by way of comparison.

That was quick! Really appreciated Can I get back to you?

Thanks for the reply, but no Rave.

Just checked a reliable source .. Oct '89 for the '90 model year of RR.

Many thanks indeed, I'll post a pic when the cluster comes back from the repairers (not)

Looks like I'm going to need a speedometer for my '87 RRC auto (my DA) The repairers advise that my unit is totally US & after having it for 4 weeks are unable to source replacement parts; therefore they are returning my cluster & will only charge for postage. Strange that it should pack up...

Good luck with this, Classics deserve to be saved :D

Not the mother-in-law by any chance? Sorry, somebody was going to say it if I didn't :rolleyes:

They all look the same to me, unlike the 'real' ones from days of old ;)

Usually slipped liner & yes the 4.6 was the most likely to suffer from this malady though any 94mm bore RV8 is vulnerable.

In my opinion the only 'fine' RRC is powered by a RV8 ;) The only reason LR produced a diesel version was to meet the demands of a European market.

Much obliged for that, contact now made thanks for your help.

Many thanks to both of you guys, contact now re-established thanks to your help.

Hi guys, I was conversing with a member using 'conversations' recently & need to make contact with him again, but my box insists I have no recent conversations & like the old fool that I am can't even remember the guy's name :oops: Is there anyway I can recall 'my conversations' ? Thanks guys.
