Well I have got it it’s 2005 3 door sport premium in black beenstood for 8m not a clue about history just know it starts and moving under its own power It arrives Monday so I will put some pictures

What are you using to check for codes? As explained above, there should be some codes stored, as the EML has been on (even if it’s now off again).

They can suffer from leaks/splits in the boost pipes.

A little more ‘practical’ I guess! I’m just looking for something small that I can put in the back to take along, without taking up too much cabin space. Also seen some fold-up step/stool things in Jeff’s emporium. Seem to be plastic, but will...

Giving oral to a spider. Could you be more depraved.

Definitely get those pipes looked at (the ones Nodge mentioned), before you go down the route of a new rack 😉

I like this type, but £200! And of course, you can’t reach the front.

Yes - I’m considering those. I have a set in my basket at Jeff’s store 😉 Trouble is, at the moment they do not ‘stand off’, and so would lean against the car…

You can get collapsible step ladders as used by estate agents and surveyors. https://ebay.us/m/ktU54j

Something to ponder over winter perhaps… probably need to be something collapsible/extending that can stand-off from the roof rail and run down to the floor (to take most of the weight). I’ll get the box from the shed and put it on over the...

Well that was truly past it's best, do you know the make of the pullet taken off, also it does not make sense if you supplied the belts for him not to change them while fitting a new crank pulley? personally i would get them swapped out asap.

Did you check the pipes?

I quickly ruled out a roof tent. I want something I can stand up in, not fall out of. And they don't come with a stair lift :rolleyes:

You'll need the rear door ladder. Oh dear, F2 has no wheel bracket. Time to design a ladder mount for an F2 ??

Don’t worry about it 👍 - it’s a ‘lively’ forum, but essentially a place for help with your LR. Especially outside of the ‘Anything Goes’ area.

Thanks to everyone for the input, but please let's not get personal. I appreciate the help from all angles and its good to have a different perspective going into things. I do understand there are repercussions as well as benefits to doing any...

I'm glad you've posted these pics. I nearly chastised you for not putting them on your original post about the rails!

I know, I know! I forgot to take them when I did the rails the other day, then I thought I’d wait for the bars to arrive 😁 Now realising how high the roof box will be, and pondering how to actually load/unload the thing when it’s on there!!!

So, you’ve not actually lifted one either? Ok, so you agree it can happen now? Likewise. Or have you lifted an F2 now? It’s a forum. We don’t need to offer ‘proof’ of everything - a lot of the help on here is based on learned and shared...

A lift kit has no effect on tyre size, as the suspension gets in the way of larger tyres, not the bodywork. You can go about 10mm wider on the standard offset rims, as larger will cause rubbing on the strut tube. LR did extensive testing and...

You really are a **** aren't you? We have had members on here install lift kits. Everything is fine for a bit, then their drive shafts have gone. So crawl back in to the hole you spend most your time before coming out and showing yourself for...

And the new roof rails from Predator 4x4, along with genuine LR bars fitted

The new arm rest I mentioned yesterday… And I cleaned all the seats with the rug doctor.

Yes, I know how the muddy mods lift kit works - thank you. And I’m all grown up now, so know the difference between independent suspension and live axles 👍 Ok - you clearly believe that simply fitting a lift kit with no other changes would do...

Well, I did find one review about issues due to vehicles being lifted… even “riding worse on the road” after. Wait… that was you. So, simply fitting a lift kit can cause issues then?

Well spotted , After I came back from a test drive and then stated the rough running and smoke I hadn't actually lifted the bonnet before I came on the forum . Now I've been under the bonnet low and behold the Intercooler pipe had blown off due...
