norseman's latest activity

+ 1 for the turbo.

I have been informed by Alan his son that he passed away yesterday after a very short illness, he joined LZ september 2006 so has been on here a long time with lots of helpful input he will be missed RIP Tony

Carbs or EFI, the latter introduced in Oct. '85 but SU's could still be specified. If it's original it will be a flapper at that age.

Just like a number of people I know in the case of the former :rolleyes:

I've experienced liner movement on my own 3.9 years ago & also on a friend's RV8. Playing the sound I have to say the timing of the noise does sound like it's in time with the engine's RPM but the sound itself is different to any liner I've heard...

Series 3 land rovers started production from Sept 1971. If you say yours is registered as a 1970 land rover there's been a bit of plate swapping going on.

Right up to the moment it goes wrong :rolleyes:

A while ago I flashed a parked up taxi cos he was on the left facing me with headlights on so he decided to go main beam to be an even bigger prick. Needless to say my Disco with additional front spots won the competition.

Like many older drivers I hate today's brilliant headlights, to the point that I try sticking to well lit roads on the few occasions that a night journey is essential. My eyes are tested annually & meet DVLA requirements. What I don't understand...

Yes they are a lovely old thing especially in V8 form .. full of character & reliable if maintained properly. Neither of which attribute can be applied to today's showroom queens.

LR slipped up there :rolleyes: But then my 37 year old classic is still free of any serious corrosion & has parked in the open for the past 16 years. The secret is spending money on rust prevention treatment, rather than accessories.

Corrosion has been synonymous with Land Rover products for decades, in many cases at a much earlier age than yours. Some things never change.

Sorry to p... on your bonfire (no pun intended) but latter day research has concluded that Viking ships used for funeral pyres where in fact burned ashore, not floated out towards Valhalla as Hollywood would have us believe .. in which case your...

No you cannot leave what about our children :vb-bouncy3::vb-bouncy3::vb-bubbly::vb-cheer2::vb-cap::vb-confused2::vb-crazy::vb-cyclops:

My 3.5efi doesn't have the facility for code reading, but I changed what I assume is the ECU temp sensor last year & for the first time in 15 years ownership the exhaust tail-pipes are now grey after a run , rather than black :cool: The sensor...

The L represents the best and most efficient angle to open your wallet whilst removing your bank card to pay for yet another repair bill.

Leaky :)

Unnecessary, just wear thicker underwear ;) The velour seats in my classic are never cold, but I'm guessing you have leather?

6x4 then.

Especially if it's JLR stock :rolleyes:

Must have sensed the fuel prices are up🤭

Late to the party I know, but if you are going the LPG route stick to the 3.5

Beware of potential paint damage if the cover is not fastened down hard enough & if the inside of the cover is not paintwork friendly. I know a Porsche owner who was gobsmacked at the paintwork damage after a few windy weeks & a cover that could...

The The design allows the carrier to swing in conjunction with the rear door - if you look at my first picture of the demounted door there is a piston type arrangement in the fixing that slides along as the door opens while still keeping it...
