    DVLA Problems

    Slob, Sorry for being thick but the DVLA insist that it should be on the RHS of the engine as viewed from the front. Is that what you mean or do you mean on the RHS of the vehicle (i.e Left of the engine as looking from the front)? Sorry to be a pain, DeepC

    DVLA Problems

    Land Rover mechanic in Beds, Herts or Cambs?

    I have a 1973 Series III 88" Diesel which is in need of a little bit of loving care. Whilst fairly confident with the Haynes manual for such things as brakes and axle seals I draw the line at welding or working on diesel injectors.
