Seen Fastest Indian a couple of times. Excellent film. I'll have a look at Project Binky. Thanks

So far, during this period of enforced isolation, l have watched a 4x4 is born and most of Trailer Fitter Manual and Britannica Restorations. Supposing this lock down lasts for 12 weeks, does anyone have any other Land Rover based viewing they would recommend? Or indeed, reading.

Don't know. How heavy are the 2 kids?

A long time ago I owned a Series 3. I bought a log book and plate on ebay which would make the 109 old enough to be tax exempt. One week later I got a knock on the door from the police (stolen vehicle unit) asking to examine the "vehicle" I had just purchased. Told them I had chaged my mind and...

I didn't think an MOT included chassis number checks. I had a new chassis fitted last year and it passed the MOT with no chassis number on it.

Just measured mine the other day for a disklok. 41 cm diameter and that is for a factory fitted steering wheel on a 1997 300tdi.

Changed the timing belt. Never done one before so I took about 6 hours. Started first time and runs well. Chuffed :D

I think I might wait until the drier weather and do a similar deep clean. I'll also do all exterior and under bonnet connectors, giving them a coat of grease to keep the water out.

Mine was for a Ford, not Land Rover, but the inner workings of the reel will be similar. I seem to remember there was some alignment marks on it and some rotating adjustment. If it was put on at the wrong angle the effect was it though it was going up or down a steep hill, even when on the...

Had this problem with another vehicle. The mechanism needs to be set at just the right angle otherwise you get problems like you're having.

Removed drop arm from steering box (kept coming loose). Found lots of gunk in the splines. Cleaned with petrol and a tooth brush back to clean metal. Reassembled with new washer and nut. 176 NM of tightyness. Hope the b*gger stays put this time.

I did the belt and tensioner at the same time. Cheap enough and while you're in there ...

Ahh. That makes more sense.:rolleyes::)

Suspected as much. I'll get the multimeter on it this weekend. The dip/dim column switch is only 12 month old but it's a Sh*tpart so probably past it's best before date.:mad:

Not sure what **** is. Tried a number of options and they all made me laugh.:D:D Up at 5.30. Leave at 6. Work 7 till 3. 8 hour day and then home by 4 for my first ****;)

Two things: 1) Quality rather than quantity. 2) I'm paid for what I know, not what I do. Neither of these are true. :rolleyes:

The indicators developed a little quirk last week, the green trailer light on the instrument panel illuminated permanently but the indicators still functioned. So I put it down to moisture in the wrong place and forgot about it. :cool: Left home at six this morning after scraping ice from the...

If the police have informed the owner and the owner has told the police they will arrange their own recovery then it's job done as far as the police are concerned. If they have been unable to contact the owner then they will have it recovered to prevent any further crime/damage. The cost of the...

Never said you were a moron. Just that if someone claims the stolen landy, how do you know they are the genuine owner. Perhaps the docs were in the vehicle when it was stolen?

How can you guarantee the person is the genuine owner?
