Tried to get the long haired colonel to consider a liveaboard boat, Med, Caribbean, all to no avail. have you ever tried to try and slam a revolving door??? Same as arguing or trying to convince a woman of a good idea!! sure i am in for some digs over this post o_O:(:p

Now i'm getting jealous as someone who grew up on boats and became a RM boat driver. She is a size.

As I only get to use my beast for a few months a year I still often get that I love this car feeling. I needed to take the long haired colonel on a mission today to various parts of the city as only a woman can organise things to be at opposite ends of the city with not much time between...

Hope you get your mate sorted Mate.

Mine are Dunlop's, 2 year old rear and 1 year old front and given the state of Russian roads.... but do have to say that since old Vladimir took over Crimea a few years ago the road situation has improved vastly but that aside the ride is fine and they cope very well with the pot holes and...

Would not let him out of the car? Surely just pulling up the lock button or operating the door handle should have allowed him to get out? However will defer to my betters and Datatek is correct but even when my drivers door pack failed and would not let me start the car and immobilised the...

Me also:(

You are welcome Pete and for a Disco you are better off in their forum as my experience is only with my Rangie. But yes winter screen wash as its funny how much you can go through in a short time on European roads and forget to top it up and learnt my lesson some many years ago. Because of where...

Agree totally, I get so angry here with T"$^s when I am home but also have a laugh during the winter when I am driving to the conditions (also having driven 4x4's mostly military and mostly LR for many moons) and see people do the usual Russian thing of I am not waiting I am in a 4x4 and hoon...

Cheers RangeRoller and no problem happy to help all. Check out all the advice given before but My top tips with using my P38 4.6 v8 in the winters of Russia are.... Check your Battery they all work different at sub zero. Check your anti freeze is good, Just because it's a nice green or red...

Compressor just to replace is 5 mins, Top cover off, couple of bolts no access problems and the outlet connection. A rebuild is a an hour if that..

Don't know about Arnott's but I replaced mine with Dunlop's and have had no issues and they were easy to get just by them self. However, did order new pins and clips to fit as often the old ones are worn or knackerd by the time you get them out.

I knew it was a tint and also thought it just marginal and thought the same but now its off!! yes a big difference. So you only have it on the front doors?? are you sure its not on the rest also?

Since I have been home (as a lot of you know I work away) it's been increasingly difficult to see out of the passenger side window due to the tinting film getting a bit bubbly and rippled as were the rest of the windows except mine. (found out that life expectancy for window film tinting is...

I just use normal bulbs in my X reg and no problem.

That's the part that I fitted to mine 2 winters ago and its a lot cheaper now by about 50% but as you know where I live I phoned Rimmer's and gave them my vin number to be absolutely certain I got the right version for my year as apparently they did some minor changes. But as it was the drivers...

:D:D:D:D:D:p

Ooooh get you with your French tongue :D:D;)

Agree, Never had an issue before and just this time last year had rear air bags shipped from one place and 2 compressor rebuild kits from another 2 different suppliers. Shipping to Russia has not changed due to Brexit so i just dont get it.

Money back but not happy. I have been checking my post box for the past week waiting on notification that some parts i had ordered from the UK had arrived and would need collecting from the post office. However received to my email this morning a credit note to say my money would be returned and...
