Bollocks is it....the limit is 70 mph on a motorway, I drive up to 30,000 miles a year in my daily car most of which is on motorways. The mean speed in the outside lane is probably 85-90mph - now that is more irresponsible because those drivers ‘choose’ to break the speed limit - not a driver...

Whilst I usually avoid motorways, very occasionally I to use them. 50mph - 55mph is about the fastest I'm ever going to be downhill / flat roads and up hills I can be down to 30mph. It's not a pleasant experience and I find the worst offenders are lorry drivers who many seem to intentionally get...

Also, I believe James Martin from this parish is an experienced guru for this sort of thing. Worth a PM to him...

Sorry to hear this. Gutting news. Try to get it shared on Facebook and on Landywatch.

YRM metal solutions sell galvanised and plain steel ones

And nobody actually wanted any of this crap in the first place. The manufacturers have thrust it upon consumers to try and get one up on their rivals.

Nice to see progress. Keep us updated

There have been issues in recent years with the quality and longevity of even genuine LR seals. I spoke with Turner Engineering and Dunsfold LR - both recommended that I source a Dowty brand seal having had issues with other makes.

Sounds like a good day out. I assume the new engine continues to run well?

Great news - Quite a milestone!

I didn't even notice the name change bit!

Not that I'm aware of. It's been undergoing some improvements / slight redesign etc. and all is good.

Been working fine for a few weeks now.

About 3 months ago I changed from Goodyear G90's to Michelin XZL's. A very expensive tyre but a nice sort of vintage / period look to them for Series Land Rovers and capable in most conditions. Pleased with them so far but I don't put big demands on them. The G90's would tend to flat spot a...

Always found them generally good. Genuine has been genuine, OEM is OEM etc. Delivery usually takes about a week. Paddocks are arguably quicker but blue boxes are quicker than green ones! :)

Probably passed it because they didn't fancy welding it up themselves. I think you need to find a new garage.

As you've paid the garage to fix your issues I would just take it back as I see it as their responsibility now. Could be a simple earth issue, or a can of worms perhaps?

I think it depends what type of plugs you have. The original 'pig tail' type were about 1.8volts each, were wired in series and needed the resister to reduce the power. The later type plugs needed the 12volts, were wired in parallel for reliability.

....and you can put the rug back in front of the fireplace now! :)

Good news Rob. The weather stayed kind too for an outside rebuild.
