Hicap phill's latest activity

That's not a bad idea just sticking inexpensive useful stuff like that onto your orders so you have some stock of bits you'll need at some point. Also I've been a little quiet as I'm now trying to do a few little bits every day to work through...

You do sometimes question one's sanity when you buy another one though. Last time i checked i'd broken the £5000 spend barrier post purchase on the 101. And it's still up! Next job is brake servo. My sphincter can't take the stress of having to...

No flaps? Yeah, my mate really missed them on his TD5 90

Thanks.. It’s well fixed with other bolts so may work.

Welcome! and photocopy any pages of the Haynes you are likely to need then stick 'em in plastic sleeves. Or just keep on photocopying them!!!

Welcome! Come on in. You'll have had your tea? :p

Haha heaters are good, back up dog in the middle seat for extra heat too 😉

I just wanted to say that I found this thread really helpful planning my chassis swap, particularly the list of things to disconnect! A few things I might add: 1. Removing the battery tray made it much easier to access the plumbing on the OS of...

Welcome. There are a few member that side of the border. Make sure the heater works for them winter months Get some good security

@Propman that rear step/towbar How many bolts hold it on & what sizes? Looking at chopping the outer fixings off as these would impeded my body mounts on the hi cap. Are there fixings where the jacking points are? Reason is they do a rear winch...

Perfectly understandable, if you need some alone time with a box of Kleenex 😉

I was actually getting just over 30mpg at EU motorway speeds. Going home from here is downhill most of the way to Liege, and have managed to get the clock to show 99mpg for quite a distance. :) When it runs.. I think the garage man is proposing...

Latest update, I wish I'd found this garage earlier! The car is now at Erezée. They've found there's a section of the long fan belt about 4cm long and 1cm wide has been flapping around and may have caused a bit of wiring damage. Until they get...

Pictures or it didn’t happen 😵‍💫

Avoid downwards or keep off dusty tracks.

I am loaded (apparently) mine muddy and worth every penny of what I wouldn’t sell it for 🤔. J

Take two It's back, but a tad cheaper.

I don’t have FB and I can see it, but can’t open it up for the details. From what I can see, I don’t need to see any more though !!

This goes back to the guy who was asking what his LR would be worth in the UK if he shipped it back from Kenya. I basically told him whatever some mug was willing to pay for it. He got a bit hissy and thought I was dissing his vehicle and I...

I'd like to know who. At that price I'd be willing to let them have mine too.

Hard core porn images of Landrovers are normally banned for a reason. 🤪😁

I did look at that but more concerned about my poor dog in the back! 😬

That's the game we're playing - "hoping" and "getting" may be a little off..... I have a guy in Kenya tomorrow allegedly coming to "do a deal", so I guess we'll see. Although at this rate, bringing it back and using it feels better, it may take...

Normally I do screen shots if I think it’s a motor I know. If someone wants to posh my motor up fair play.. it will still look like a farm wagon no matter what they do.

Link not working.

Cheers mate. I do have glass fuses. I was at @miktdish place tonight and got some great info and advice on this. I’m going to go back to basics and get the original lights working first, as at the moment I’ve made a total bodge of it. Then I’ll...

@meego that’s an old style landrover relay with trailer light set up. I found when these go some relays don’t work in there place(especially if you have glass fuses & LEDs)) Either put resistors on the indicators or go to bolt on bits & gets the...

Have you a photo of what you have? Surrounds may be cross fitted to rovers etc or older cars.

Thanks, I'll keep you updated. At least accommodation costs aren't a problem!

An update, no I'm not on the road with the Range Rover. The car was eventually taken to a dealer at Waimes who had a slot they could fit it into. But, the recovery truck didn't manage to get it there in time, so it's still sitting there with no...
