    Points system....

    Well it's like Herding cats trying to get in contact with the welsh farmer and the family friend who knows him and the step dad that's licensed to pull the trailer all committed to one day for collection. Was supposed to be at mine weeks ago :( So trying to get other things sorted while waiting :(

    Points system....

    I'm aware of the points system with the dvla about what you can change like transmission engine and chassis.

    L plates on trailer

    id already rang the DVLA on this the rules with L plates state that you can pull what the person sat next to you is licensed to if you have L plates front and rear. BUT you cannot travel on motorways just like when learning. thats it. this is how ill be picking up another land rover

    series 1 v8 conversion

    It's got the remote filter etc. I was told that the adapters fit some of the later s1 boxes as some have v8 on s1 box? If not I'll get a 2a box as well. Just more money that I could spend on other things :(

    Click when changing gear.

    If you sit in the car with the engine off, put it into 5th and try and pull it back into reverse then slowly move it to centre of neutral you'll hear the click. See if that's it
