Welcome to the forum, you certainly have good taste in vehicles!

Has anyone seen a hood like that before? There are a few things I like about that 90, though the colour scheme is not for me, I'm hoping to go for Marine Blue with sand hood and black highlights (rubber mats rather than carpets). Not sure what the hairy fella is for??

I quite like it, it has a function cool look!

I wonder how many of us have stolen parts on our vehicles. I would hate to think my 90 has any stolen parts but the truth is that it has a disco 300tdi engine and rear axle, I have bought various parts from Ebay for it and at shows, thinking about it in the cold light of day I would not be...

If you want a very simple solution then buy something like one of these: It will sit in the series dash quite happily, costs from 20quid sounds very reasonable and can be charged from a cig lighter socket or just use the internal battery which lasts about 7 hours. Blue tooth from your...

:eek: I always feel alarmed when people tell me oh yeah, I have a 3.54 in the back and a 4.7 in the front, I will get round to swapping the front one some day!

A skim of the head to increase the compression ratio to 9:1 seems to be a cost effective way of getting a little more power from a 2.25. Then as rob1miles says a bit of careful porting of the head and a larger diameter exhaust to help it breath is a good option. I have heard good things of an SU...

You haven't actually said how much you are going to use the P38/Series 3, which I think is the key here. The other factor is how you feel about no power steering and ride akin to a space hopper. Given the choice between the two vehicles I would have the Series 3 if my mileage was modest and I...

You are quite right, any fine abrasive will remove the clouding and leave the headlight looking like new, the only issue is that you now have no UV protection on the plastic so it will cloud again fairly quickly, most of the kits contain a UV coating compound that protects the headlight plastic...

I like a nice original vehicle as much as anyone, but if they were all pristine original life would be a bit boring, so I like a nice conversion too, even this:

I am having a similar dilemma, my garage floor is concrete and no matter how often I sweep it there is always more dust to sweep like the concrete produces dust! I am tempted to go the epoxy route as I think it will last quite a long time in a domestic garage that only gets a day or two's use...

All that can be said has been, all I can do is add my own condolences and write this note that you know people are thinking of you.

Sorry I should have said, mine is a 90 with a 300tdi but as you have suggested the roof is very old.

310miles at 75mph in the pouring rain I had a soggy right leg from the roof trying to peel it's self away from the metal piece above the door and rain dripping in the little holes for the hooks!

Welcome :D

I love the rag top and agree it is the warmest option and does not drip condensation down your neck when you brake like an unlined hard top. But my question is at motorway speeds do you get the corners at the top of the windscreen lifting?

I used to take the hoses off, and put a garden hose wrapped in tape in the bottom radiator outlet, tap on full, and leave until the water ran clear. Sometimes it took all night. Our "jetwash" back then was a hose with a washing machine pump in series and a length of copper pipe and a...

In days gone bye, when series Land Rovers were just old under powered workhorses we used to push them flat out everywhere. I never blew a head gasket on either a 2.25 petrol or Diesel but what did used to happen was that the rads would get a bit furred up and they would blow hot brown water out...
