Thanks guys. I will be a chat with a friendly MOT tester. Drove over 200 miles in my RRC today. They really are marvellous machines.

Hi Guys I am after a stainless exhaust for my soft dash RRC from the manifolds back. Something loud - but not TOO loud :) Do you have any recommendations? Also, I have a 1994 car. If I do away with the cats will it still pass an MOT? Many thanks for your help.

Hi Guys Any other ideas where I could get a good condition grey leather driver's seat for a soft dash? The seats are different from the hard dash RRCs and the P38s. Many thanks

I've tried waving at a variety of Land Rover vehicles since I've got my RRC, but have felt a bit of a spanner as not one has waved back. Maybe it's an Edinburgh thing. When I had my Alfa 147 GTA I got loads of waves, light flashes and thumbs up from other Alfas, and also from other Italian...

Good work! You can't beat the V8 burble whilst you are tooling around.

Hi Guys A quick update, I have just got the car back from the paint shop after having the bonnet sprayed and few other bits and bobs. With the V8 badges removed and original side repeaters put back on. Need to get those balancing weights put on the inside of the wheels, though :)...

Lotus Esprit door handles, you mean :)

Hi Guys Would any of these garages carry out welding work (inner wings and rear floor), for a reasonable price? If not, does anyone know a good welder in the Edinburgh area? Many thanks

When looking to buy a car, I initially preferred the hard dash. However, up close, it was the hard dash that reminded me of the Metro, with its instrument binnacle, stalks and buttons. I now prefer the soft dash and think it looks ok. OP - I'm not sure how many soft dashs were made.

Many thanks Guys.

Hi Guys The inner wings, footwells and rear floor in my RRC have started to go and, as I intend to keep the car for a very long time, I am looking to replace these. Can anyone recommend suppliers for these parts? Ideally galvanised or aluminium parts. I have found this company here - YRM...

Many thanks!

Hi Guys My 1994 RRC has been converted to coils, and I am looking for new shock absorbers. However, the air suspension RRCs seem to have a different type or fitment of shock absorber. Now mine is on coils, can I use "normal" shock absorbers, or do I need to order the air suspension...

Thanks guys I have the Disco rotary coupler, but my car is in being painted just now so I can't check if it is the same. If it's not I will give you a shout about buying your's. Many thanks

Hi Guys Do you know if the ABS pump for the 300tdi and V8 Disco is the same as the one in the Soft Dash? I can't check my car just now as it's in being painted. Fingers crossed it is! Many thanks

Magic, thanks for that. Also, do you have a grey leather P38 driver's seat? The design of the seat cushions is the same as the RRC soft dash, so I am wondering if I can just sway around the base cushion and seat back and use on the existing motors etc? Cheers

Hi Guys Doing a few bits and bobs on my Soft Dash. I'm on the look out for a rotary coupler. I've done some searches, but I can't find out if the Soft Dash uses the same rotary coupler as the Discovery (or P38). Does anyone know? Many thanks for your help!

That's a shame, it looks like a nice car.

Hi I've been looking further and my Soft Dash seats are a different design to those in the previous RRCs, although they have the same switches etc. They have the same pattern and stitching as those in the P38. Can you simply swap over the base and upright part of the seat, and use the...

Cheers - I knew it would be too easy! Thanks also for your PM. I will leave the ABS stuff for now as I am getting the car painted this week. Please give me a shout as soon as you have grey leather RRC seats in.
