Enlightening Lightbulb moment

Very good, 9 bulbs all led, all interior and 2 x puddle lamps. Boot lamp was a powerful uk sealed unit replaced last year. Durite led sealed lamp bolted to the towbar crossmember as a rev light, that's really good, should have done that ages ago.

Yeah I've got powerfuluk rear boot light, they are pretty good and worth the money. What no pictures then 😶🤣

And the results?? 🤔😜

I popped all the festoon ones out without paying too much heed and they were all 39mm. It wasn't until I came to fit the new rears that I noticed they were a tad long but still fitted and made good electrical contact. Someone before me must have...

The thirst? 😜

Nothing impresses her -except treats !

It may be hard to cancel insurance but you can drop it down to insured with no road use and remove the reg plates👍

The black sludge is most likely from bacterial growth in the tank, common problem with diesel and could also be responsible for the white smoke. You can get an additive to kill the bacteria. The actuator can be cleaned with Isopropyl alcohol.

RR Vogue SE A 1990 3.9 Petrol. Do I sell or do I do her up? Check this post in the range rover secrion. A little more analog it may be👍

Analog!? Your off the mark there matey 😜

Buy a P38 V8. J

Thanks Norseman, Yes agree that she will need to be looked at structurally and will start with getting her over to a trusted mechanic to look her over and give me a verdict. Worth a punt, I think!

The market here is different. 4.4 TDV8s seem to demand a considerably higher premium. I would be looking at at least 16,000 EUR for a 165,000 km+ car.

Your cat certainly ain't impressed either 🤔

Does it really look that different? that you are willing to throw away that amount of money? J

Who says the grill looks better or worse? I love the 8 speed box and the engine, the grill, well I don’t see it sitting in the drivers seat so I can live with it ;). J

It sometimes depends on who you know to help and the person dealing with the paperwork 🤔 Not had much to do with the ants for a while.. Only the ones that cone through the house, 😜

Some folks prefer image over substance :rolleyes:

I think i just wrenched until some bolts snapped and off they came. My shields pretty much fell apart with corosion anyway, so I don't think I could have refitted them anyway. I'm pretty sure I've read of people taking the heads off with the...

Thanks for your replies. I could maybe try and hack the top ones off, but access to the bottom ones might be a bit tricky. Car is on it's arse right now, so not really any room to get underneath or under the wheel arch lining. I'll try the...

I got brutal and hacked until they came off

I just cut mine off, and wrapped the exhaust headers when i put the engine back together. New shields are expensive, it's dissimilar metals and constant heat cycling they just corrode together. I couldn't be arsed, and just cut them off...

I'd have the better engine over a nicer looking grill any day 👍

You could get a 4.4 TDV8 2011 for that amount of money these days and have a better engine train IMO May have a little slush fund left over ;). J

Understood my good man. In the last couple of years I've sold three landrovers bought for small fees and sold them all on with the logbooks and no CT's. After that the new owner deals with the paperwork, part of the agreements had at the time 👍

Washed it. 3 attempts required, the last one using neat detergent. Tried to fix the crack in the windscreen but is is too big. Even with the glorious sunshine today it struggled to cure. Also noticed my rear diff is leaking at the seal with the...

The L322 is not appreciating over here some are selling for less than a P38, too complex and hard to fix unless you have good DIY skills including electronics. The price seems high considering the mileage and the age. I suspect you could get a...

205000 miles or kilometres? If miles I would say it's at a point where it will need a lot of attention in the near future.

If it's rust free, unless the engine is knackered, the cost of fixing it should not be too great. Don't take to to a dealer, you need to find an independent that specialises in Land Rovers, I know of 2 that I would trust but they are not near...
