    Oh Dear! we now have 5 Green Ovals!

    Well the "honeymoon" is over with the Rangey, to buy one with no electrical faults was a lucky happenstance, but the other week it threw it's first fault at us. The side lights worked fine, but opting for headlights killed all the lights. So after a few days of awaiting delivery, the headlamp...

    Rapier Missile trailer

    Same as on my 2003 130 defender and all Mil spec "Wolf " land rovers. Rapier if standard will have imperial type thread on the studs, so you will have to use the reversable nuts it has to collect it. So with mine having Wolf rims on 235/85/16's fitted with no issues, you should be fine with a...

    We've added a 1981 Range Rover to the fleet. We had not planned to look for one until after summer as a replacement for the 200 Tdi 90 while it was overhauled etc. However, the 90 decided to suffer turbo seal failure, so we brought forward the purchase. It's not "mint" but it is solid and failry...

    Oh Dear! we now have 5 Green Ovals!

    Well, the new addition is on the road, and she is more than happy with it. It came with numerous used and new spares with it. Not that I've had a chance to go through them all as yet, but apart from some glow plugs, I couldn't see any for the engine. So, if anyone has any leads on suppliers of...

    Oh Dear! we now have 5 Green Ovals!

    After this mornings school run, I set to and gave it a good external scrub and a quick polish. Got too warm out to do a proper cut back and wax, but it's made a huge improvement.
