    Plan to go to this for the first time on the Saturday, any tips from you old hands? What are the 'don't miss' things to do?

    Of course, schoolboy error! :)

    Hello from Banbury/ Now Towcester

    Nothing too serious, the EAS is temperamental, and with the larger wheels and tyres it's Undrivable when it drops. Had new bags and bits, and can pop it straight back up using the unlock software, but means I can't rely on it. Someone with more time would no doubt get a solid motor out of it...

    Hello from Banbury/ Now Towcester

    Hi RK, Bicesters pretty close. 110 shiny at the moment as I've only had it a couple of weeks, suspect it won't stay that way long! :)

    Hello from Banbury/ Now Towcester

    As I've been a lurker on the forum for a long while, but have now upgraded from my old faithful P38 to a 110 defender, I thought it about time I said hello in the introductions section. Based just outside of Banbury, and am busy looking to see if there are any Greenlanes nearby, so if you are...

    20" Storm alloys

    I've had these sat around since I swapped to off road wheels and tyres last year. Set of 20" Storm Alloys that came on my P38. Good used condition, come with 4 Mitchellin tyres, 2 good two with slow punctures (hence me moving to off road wheels). Thought I'd see if anyone here interested before...

    Wheel help

    Had a couple of good runs since putting the new tyres/wheels on, and I have to say it's been as polite as anything. Obviously there is a load more road noise, but other than that it's still as fun to drive as it was before, only now it goes anywhere :)

    Wheel help

    Sorry it's taken a while to respond, been out enjoying the new wheels :) Anyway, got a set of star engraved 5 spoke 16" original alloys, and I put some malatest kaimen 265/70/16 boots on it. To say it's been fun would be an understatement :) I would love to hear from any other P38 owners...

    Wheel help

    I ended up getting a brand new set of original P38 alloys for not a huge amount, and have just put 265/70/16 knobbly off road jobs on them, should do the job handsomely :)

    Wheel help

    They are superb wheels Hippo, but I can't get the tyres I need onto them unfortunately, my little trusty P38 is being asked to do more than cruise the motorways so the Drug Dealer Rims need to go :)

    Wheel help

    I currently have a set of 20" Storm Drug Dealer Alloys on my P38, and want to replace these with some steel or alloy rims that will take some off road tyres, something like this: Kumo Venture MT KL71 - 265 75 R16 - WHEEL TYRE PACKAGE - POA Any recommendations on what would fit or what I should...

    USSb to Serial Driver - EAS - Anyone solve Vista issue?

    Just a quick update: Went to Maplins and bought a USB to Serial Cable from them, which worked first time out of the box! :) I guess the moral here is that the cheap generic cables sold maybe have some issue, not technical enough to understand what that might be, but mine came from Taw 4X4...

    USSb to Serial Driver - EAS - Anyone solve Vista issue?

    Thank you. Any pointers on how to change the bit rate? Sorry, not something I've ever had to do.

    USSb to Serial Driver - EAS - Anyone solve Vista issue?

    It's annoying that it's listed as working with Vista, when it doesn't. The driver installer throws up an error as in my first post, but tried unistall etc. to no avail. The pain of it is if I'd realised it would be more straight forward with the cardbus serial adaptor I'd have just bought one at...

    USSb to Serial Driver - EAS - Anyone solve Vista issue?

    Hi, thanks, but I tried updating the driver via the control panel first, no luck I'm afraid :(

    Snapped interior door handle - P38

    Just fitted this, and I have to say the only thing easier I've done is fit new boot straps. Thanks for the help and advice guys, and thanks RRB for a seriously fast and helpful service, big thumbs up :)

    USSb to Serial Driver - EAS - Anyone solve Vista issue?

    I am trying to install the EAS Unlock software (Bought from Ebay with a USB to Serial Cable), which it states will work with Vista. However, the installer for the driver that comes on the disc won't work, I get a 'Driver Install Failure' when pressing the install button. I've got the latest...

    Snapped interior door handle - P38

    Many thanks Kooky, something for me to have a go at over the weekend. If anyone has one of these, or a suggestion of the best place to get one let me know, as I'm not finding one on Ebay.
