With a power box fitted, the fuel gauge is definitely connected to the right foot. Heavy footed = low mpg. Light footed = slightly better mpg. Simples Its a Range Rover what else do you expect.

A large crowbar and a "Lump Hammer" is defo the way to go...

Pictures, please...:praise:

Me thinks that be a Series 2A lightweight with a dodgy logbook/chassis number rebuild...:eek:

Would you rev a completely fully rebuilt engine at 2000 rpm for 20 mins? I prefer to break an engine in gently, but if I had only replaced the cam/followers. I'd wait until the lifters have taken up the slack then drive as normal for a while before caning it. Never heard of a camshaft...

There's no camshaft running in, just make sure you top up the engine to the correct level, I presume you have covered the camshaft/camshaft followers with good quality rebuild engine oil/grease. Start the engine just don't rev it until the hydraulic followers have filled up and taken out the...

I use one every day at work, their range of multi-meters (UNI-T) can't be beaten in my opinion for price/quality. Why pay extra for the fluke name most people don't need a cert/tested meter... The AC/DC clamp meter can be ordered for 30 quid including postage from the far east,

Makes sense to go M25>M11>A14 if meeting with peeps from up that way, but check for road works around the M1/M6/A14 junction area.

I might just attend if the butler can find my tent and cooking gear, which I haven't seen in at least the last 8 years. I'll have to send the staff into the attic store to see if they can be located, tomorrow... Any guide lines/rules on cooking/bbq's and most important booze???

Just out of interest what time are you travelling or meeting up at the Thurrock Services?

Thanks for the offer gazz, I'm in S Wales at the moment for a few days managed to do a temp repair on the switch with a washing up sponge of all things... at least the rear tailgate not trying to open itself over the bumps....

Short notice I know, the spring in the tailgate release button has died does anyone have a button unit or just the spring possibly, we're going away for a few days with the kids. I just don't have the time to faff about with dealers or tracking down one at the breakers... I'm hoping someone...

Stick to OEM threads some will be bsf/bsw/unf/unc depending on the year and series. A good reason to expand the tool kit...

A gallon and a match........;).........:D

If you really love your Faultmate buy it SM035 for Valentines Day...then you can really tickle your P38's fancy.....;)

Almost agree, the young apprentice...;)...operating the jack only appears to have one leg, I'm all for equal opportunities for all, but there's always H&S to consider...:rolleyes:

*hitpart shocker and orange Ploybushes, what a way to ruin a P38 in one go. OEM parts. Boge shockers and rubber bushes are the way to go... I've build/modified raced and trialled land rovers before, the P38 is as near perfect as you can get on standard suspension...imho, And keep the air...

A Landy without dents, wash your mouth out boy, they're called character.

Just out of interest, did you find any reason why the FWH failed to engage??? And have you fixed your intermittent mis-fire?

That also depends on what standard's the guy who paints the motor has, for 300 quid, I'd buy a cheap compressor, spray gun, masking tape and a can of Dulux.
