I still have the same alloy plate - it is just about surviving despite some further abuse. If re-making in the future, I would absolutely use something thicker and stronger. I can't recall the material specification of the alloy used: I bought off an on-line metal supplier. But as others have...

Brilliant - hope she is enjoying it! :) my daughter has just completed her first year and I can’t believe how quickly it’s gone!!!

I hope not! lol

As an associate professor at UCL, I too read the second comma as being unnecessary ;) FWIW lol

good work - and I still have that seam protector on my car's sills - I dare not peel them off!!!

My Disco sport has it - nice in winter and helpful to demist (although air con does this really well too!)

No worries regarding the heated seat wiring mate! :) I don't know if the screen wiring is a separate loom, or part of the body loom. Knowing from experience what Rover and MG Rover did back in the day, the chance is that this is all taped up in the main body loom (complete with a different part...

Same here @Alibro . Although I am not convinced that it would make a massive difference, I completely understand the rationale for wanting to do the torque test in the direction of rotation of the road wheel.

Hi Andy, I have a couple of project ideas, but really need a replacement aerial and base, but not sure that the 5-door version is the same as the one on the three door? The projects I have in mind are: (1) a retrofit of heated seats (the thing I really miss) - my car doesn't have the correct...

PS I have just had a chance to watch this video through: what amazing landscape and a brilliant trail that is! Wel jel! Oh, and doesn't the FL1 look so good? :D

Completely agree with all the above: having been on the trail with other landies, my FL1 got affectionately named the “lil’ donkey” for its stubborn determination to get through. Only lack of ground clearance stopped it!

how’s this project progressing Phillip?

lol - I'd hope not! :D

Thanks for this - my 2001 Hippo has the earlier reluctor ring type ABS sensor - so I don't think this will apply to my car - but it is a potential cause for confusion: are the two wheel bearings essentially the same (i.e. can a newer ABS wheel bearing be used on an earlier car)? I just need to...

A bit of a thread revival this, but I found both footwells of my 2001 3-door had water on the rubber floor mats. They did not smell of coolant, so I think rain water. Plus there is a lot of leaf mulch over the scuttle panel - blocked drainage channels??? Do I need to remove the scuttle panel to...

Yes, a slightly concerning search phrase... lol

Thanks Andy!

Question as per thread title: I need to replace the wheel bearing - at the least, the NSF one. Lots of options, including eBay - but no idea as to what quality these are. I am tempted to go the SKF branded route, but wondered what your experiences are? The local garage has offered the use of...

Just replaced the exhaust back box on mine - it now needs a full service, refresh of transmission oils, a new NS diff seal and a NSF wheel bearing... oh, and I also need to sort the clutch hydraulic mechanism, which is now starting to annoy me. Also, I want to have a look at the gear linkages -...

just to add my +1 for pscan.eu - it also enables re-mapping of the MEMS3 ECU (if you have a petrol). For me, it is a complete no-brainer, as I have a fleet of 90s and early 00s MG Rover products that it also works well on! :D
