    range rover classic auto box

    Hi Just been offered over the phone a rangie classic, (year unknown cos i forgot to ask, believed to be a 3.9efi). The car has been standing a fair while and from what the guy was saying it appears to be locked in 'park', the selector moves, but seems a tad loose. Is it possible that he's...

    Gps

    Hi Can anyone recommend a simple and inexpensive gps system that's either hand held or could be run on an Acer notebook, and can be used on the move in the 90.. I'm working on the Falklands for a few months, and all I want is the ability to locate my position and enter an OS ref,then go from...

    Hi, I've been thinking about another project and looking at the bit's I've got. 90 rolling chassis with series 2 bulkhead but defender front end Disco 300 tdi with shot bodywork Basically I was thinking along the lines of a series 2 look alike but with 90 running gear. If I stick the 300 engine...

    Stunned

    I've just changed the tyres on my 110 from the noisy rough horrible but hard wearing Deestone 7.50/16 to some 235 Kumho M/T and I worked out it's saving me at least 10 to 15 quid in 200 miles, in spite of the fact that I tend to go faster now that I can hear myself think at over 30mph. It's...

    Roof, sides and rear bits!

    You need a roof and sides for definate. rear door you can either use a full length one (quite a few on ebay)or keep your tailgate and have a lift up top section. Shame you're so far away as I got a 90 roof which I was going to put on ebay. Rear panels either side of rear door are part of the...

    Hard Top to S/W Conversion

    I did try to send it over with the pics. As a matter of interest how can I send something from 'my docs' to this site that's in a pdf format without downloading the whole thing? I'll try to sort it for you later Rick

    Hard Top to S/W Conversion

    The chassis is the same. I've tried to attatch a piccie, if it works then if you look at that in conjunction with the landrover parts catalogue (page 746 part no. NRC4171 and NRC 4665 and page 795) it should make sense. No 1 is replaced by a steel sill that runs from the bulkhead outrigger to...

    Hard Top to S/W Conversion

    Hi Harvey, I've just done this conversion but I've made a twin cab pickup which is the same thing basically. It is not a difficult conversion but I found information hard to come by. Basically you'll need a safari body which do come up on e bay occasionally, and a few new body to chassis...
