    Backend of 110 going for a walk...

    checked tyre pressures yesterday and they were all fine then, but, i will re-check when i get home. I've never had any problems, but, then, i never had any problems with the d3 yet the one day she took it to work half the windscreen trim came off the outside of the landy. I just don't know...

    Police AVCIS operation on Ebay sales of V5's/Vin plates but no chassis

    No you can't make your 90 tax exempt would be the other way of answering your question :D

    Backend of 110 going for a walk...

    So, whilst I have the temporary crappy seat ibiza today as i wait for the missus' insignia to come back from being repaired after she drove into a tractor :rolleyes: she has my nice shiny 4 month old 110 puma. :mad: Anyway, told her to set off early for work and just take it easy and...

    Classic oil change mistakes,

    6 litre capacity - perfect for the 6.85 litres of oil inside a 200tdi... oh wait :rolleyes: :clap2:

    DISCOVERY 4 height

    It is not body off for most work, even the belts can be done in situ. Electric handbrake did have an issue of failing, however, you just pop a plastic hatch and use the supplied tool to release the handbrake, I replaced the whole hand brake mechanism on mine as preventative maintenance and it...

    DISCOVERY 4 height

    My D3 (same height as a D4) fit in most places, adjustable air suspension was always a bonus for the multi-stories. Having replaced the D3 with a 110, wiht roof rack and often a roof tent, i don't fit anywhere at all!!!

    Ask for a copy of the receipt for the chassis, if it is pre 1998 all good, if not walk away :)

    Rear Door Wheel Carriers

    Ouu the Mantec sounds like the bit of kit for me. Could you put all your weight on the spare wheel without a problem? I like the idea of one of these too...

    Rear Door Wheel Carriers

    Do I need a spare wheel swing away carrier on a new Puma? I keep finding myself using it to balance on when standing on the ladder doing stuff on the roof rack and a bit concerned i might be putting undue strain on the door, but, equally a very small part of me thinks LR might have reinforced...

    need help with trailer knowledge

    The police are quite hot on checking too... having being pulled whilst towing a trailer, if i hadn't got the B+E i would have been properly fooked, but, as i did, it wasn't too bad (ok still a few issues, 80mph in the outside lane of a motorway with a trailer is not ideal...)

    Keyed Evoke

    if you know where the scum bag lives, why not just knock on the door... and take appropriate action when the door is answered.

    need help with trailer knowledge

    My £400 was using my D3 and their trailer, so £561 seems ok for their vehicle and fuel on top. I think it is a worth while test to do, far too many people towing who haven't got a clue, they can't retrospectively bring laws in, but, i think it was the right decision.

    Is there an Idiot guide to removing an overdrive?

    You're missing a bit there... i wouldn't suggest any deep off roading :p

    need help with trailer knowledge

    Never going to happen in a million years. Stop being a tight git and pay £400 for your B&E training and test. It is a very straight forward and easy test, If you can afford a D2, off road toy and a trailer you can afford £400 for the licence to allow you to persue your hobby legally.

    Estimate of scrap value

    On your basis no one should ever put any modification toys on their landy - they never increase the value by much, nothing close to the cost of parts, let alone labour! Restorations nearly have to be done for the love of it. I would also never offer £300 for a shell vehicle - we just sold a...

    Remote brake servo

    you can fit the s3 pedal and servo in the engine bay with a 200tdi engine... but if you've already bought one might as well use that :)

    Yelverton, Devon - collect and package for courier

    You couldn't just nip down for me and grab it then? :p Doesn't matter anyway, stupid women replied to me 7 hours later saying "it's just sold" - well if she'd bothered to reply ot my email 7 hours earlier it would have sold then :rolleyes:
