Was thinking about fuel filter and/or pump on mine. It doesn't like starting period. Have to feather accelerator to keep it showing 1000rpm for 10 or so seconds, then it will jump up in revs to about 1700 and after that, all's well. Does it cold or hot. Plugs, leads, etc all 'happy' with, but...

Just to clear this in case I've mis-typed to the point of confusion, I haven't got a RR Classic (saw one at the Game Fair for £15k and had a 5-minute conversation with myself about the actual benefits of two kidneys), I've got a P38. They said they called it a 'classic car'....

Oh I fit the bill age-wise. Mr Parkinson dying to send me a free pen :-)

Got that. I wasn't after classic status (was as surprised as anyone when the guy mentioned it) but he said Admiral 'may' classify it as such. Never even thought of Saga. Doh.

There's a form to fill out when the paper docs come. They want minimum 5 photos and description of vehicle. Not saying whatever benefit is a given, but the guy on the phone didn't mention anything when I said SDP and commuting. Wait and see I suppose.

Hi all, just thought I'd share (and maybe someone will prove I'm still paying too much) my recent insurance renewal. I was with Direct Line and they quoted £800 for my renewal. Having come to consciousness again I went onto Admiral's website, entered all the details and their quote came back at...

Sorted new 'O' rings installed, still running dog rough. A quick search tonight found a short at the rear of No6. Soldering by a trained amoeba by the look of it. Duly mended. Vroom and purr. Big smile.

Independent: "yeah , we can get those, they're about 30p each....."

Thought I'd try the local dealer for a new set of 'O' rings: "Yes we can get those for tomorrow morning". "How much?" asked I. "About £70......." Click...purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Thought as much, and not something most people have as a rule. Thanks though

Hi all, so following on from my previous trials and tribulations I was lucky enough to receive, as part of the gasket set I ordered, a new set of 'O' rings which I deduced to be for replacing the old ones on injectors. 2 weeks ago, Nanocom reported Injector 6 was up the spout. Long story short...

Temporary nickname from a spell in Kelly's Garden 1984 and the last 3 of my army number

Instead of the Wondarweld?? :-)

If I put it up for sale I'll tip off everyone on the forum with a thread titled "Bargain Of The Year".....

An update. First off....I know, OK? I just know. So before a resigned (collective noun) of Range Rover owners descend on the homestead armed with breaker bars with 6" nails welded to the ends, ready to do bodily harm to the philistine.....I know. But, the "best £20 I will ever spend.."...

No, at the moment the plan is it's a keeper

Alan, before you burst summat, I've sent him a message :-)

Yeah, still losing water and pressurizing the coolant which, naturally, leads to more coolant loss as it is forced back out of the expansion tank. I was looking at these: From Emmetts. £1250 which I don't think is too bad for what should be a one-out-one-in type of job. Had one, Hilux Surf...

Hi all, well I've finally got to the end of Accept It Road, and feel that the block in my RR is terminal. So, assuming I want to keep it (too much time and cash put in to walk away) which way do I go? I can't afford a super-duper top-hatted baby at around £3200; I don't want to just grab any...

That's what I reckon may have happened. I'm going to run a la wallet drainer for the next couple of days to make sure then I'll get someone to have a proper look.
