Forgot the easy way to empty the 1shot. Have you got a an old metal brake flex clamp? Put the end of the 1shot in the clamp ready. Cut the nipple end & place into hole. Twist/roll the clamp down the 1shot like a toothpaste tube Comes out very...

Put it on full lock,it makes a large hole past the chrome ball & easy job

Glad you’re sorted, messing about with eyes not good, 3-4 weeks ago I was derusting a piece of steel to make a bracket for my vacuum bottle , I used brick acid (concentrated hydrocloric acid) , I wore my safety specs, cleaned up perfect in 2...

Sounds like a plan. I'll have plenty of opportunity to turn it over before I get the fuel primed after changing the diesel filter, apparently another common pain in the backside problem I'll have to overcome!

Just a note to say..... Watch your peepers!!.... I am 49 and have lived a long life and spent many hours grinding/welding etc......all self taught and whilst aware of the dangers of the spinning discs of woe, never really given a stuff as nowt...

I lied, my local LR just got a case of 10. Last time I called they said they didnt have it. Guy told me when there is a car in for service that needs that part they will order a case (LR cost) and service that part. Just a chance of right timing.

Allegedly filters out water and crud. Sounds like it's fixing a problem that doesn't exist. Yes you get water in petrol but I've never had it cause a problem. And regular filters/sediment bowls do a decent job

I opted for tubular turrets to reduce crud build up and subsequent corrosion. Had to trim some of the inner wing and turrets to make fit but love the look of the exposed shock. I have only done the offside so far as it took longer than expected...

Try using a BMW without indicating… them steering wheels have a mind iof there own.fun trying to ignore the movements Scania Lorry If some on comes down the slip road and pulls infront of you too close,dash board lights up with collision...

I’ve gone with steel for now since the other ones seem to be! But saying that the other ones don’t have spring washers on them haha, Putting the nut on has stopped the firebell noise and as a second bonus, made the engine wayyyyyy more quiet!

Furthermore, Single cab

Took a spin in the Mini, no further instances of "front-firing" (so far) since I changed the dashpot oil to 30W. :D Too soon to declare it "fixed", but I think we are getting there or thereabouts. :)

I used to be in Newcastle and Nantwich ROC.. a significant chunk of members left to join staffs

The downside is that you are going to have to build one now.

I fitted one of these to my Defender recently, it's fantastic. Front and rear cameras/dashcams, reversing camera, music streaming, which improves sound quality a great deal, hands free phone and texting, reads texts out, and whatsapp messaging...

@Chalky. it’s a good to go collecting stakes at the end of the day. Happy you enjoyed it. Good to see the youngster been out in an exciting environment. You can get special kids motorsport licence from 13 to event in trials

Well just got home and met some very friendly people! What a great crowd, makes my 90 look and feel slow now! Drove the course at the end of the day with my boy in one of the vehicles, those v8's on song make the hair stand up on your neck!!!

Round 2 with the fuel lines today, got them both replaced after taking the wheel off, and another trip out to get some new pipe as I had some too big and some other too small. In taking the wheel off I found a leaking wheel cylinder as well...

Are you after a double cab 130?

Corrected I am, pretty sure 89 One ten had the larger calipers but has been a long time. My 1990 Ninety has the also has the large calipers now as well as bit larger tires than original 205's

@tottot my 85 110 V8 had the Small callipers on. As the motors were built the same time as RRC they used the small ones. Was better as all the pads were the same size. Then the disco came out and same again,small callipers on some of these. I’m...

@kermit_rr been away from racing for a few years but these clubs are friendly & most drivers like others looking over the motors. If you show your face often enough and help out you do get offers of a seat in racers. We used to do charity days...

Have a look on the site for directions. https://saslrc.co.uk/

If you are going to look for replacement headlamp grilles …brace yourself…

If you don’t mind a few mile journey go to the event at stone. This is a 2 day and used to have to do a few laps in the dark & early morning.

That's what I'm going to do this afternoon mate! Pics so far.... And one of my boy! Indoctrination at its finest!! 😂

They are the later large calipers…better than the small early type. Now that confuses me.(later than your 87) Unless some one has upgraded the callipers.. Normally these appeared from 300tdi on ward

Welcome. Have you looked at some of the ex military type 130? You can easily convert the rears for farm/ARB chip They are fun to drive but need some big parking spaces. Enjoy

Used to race with staffs & shrops. Always fun club as they do inter clubs so there are plenty of motors to watch. If not racing we would marshal in stupid places just for the action Enjoy your day…

Hey guys, I don't know if anyone localish would be interested, but the Staff and Shrops Landrover club are running a Comp Safari today at Greenhall Farm in Llanfyllin, always a great crack as a spectator! Only just found out so will be standing...
