Good on yer mate!! Of course you will be on first name terms with these folks!Paddock Spares - Land Rover, Range Rover Parts & Accessories - Discovery, Defender and Freelander

It certainly ticks the boxes then! Re mpg I look at it this way...my MG V6 struggles to better 30mpg so I'm not actually paying that much more in fuel when I compare 23 with 30mpg! Insurance is OK £150 for 3K a year inc green lanes etc. Look up Richard Hammonds Landy Tribute on youtube YouTube -...

Well my series is also petrol 2.25, will hit 70 (according to speedo!!) but on a recent run down the A1 (about 120miles) following a truck most of the way it achieved 24mpg. That is with: Freewheel Hubs, overdrive, weber carb & kenlowe fan! Conversation ceases above 50mpg, handling was great...

Well check your door hinges for slack, that lets draught in, if need be check the catch on the B pillar and move it in a bit for a better seal around the door. Wrightoffroad make a heavy floor mat which is somewhat of an isulator! Carpet tiles stuck to the roof look better than they sound! (but...

For what it's worth here's my wheels!

Well mine was £750 but needed new rear springs....whatever you buy it's hard not to spend something on it!!

Well I'm a novice too! I was told to look carefully at the chassis (but mine is galvanised!) and bulkhead for rust. Make sure it doesn't jump out of gear and starts without loads of blue smoke! I checked the engine was cold on mine before the vendor started it. I found mine on a road side so was...

Thankyou gentlemen! I'm also a believer in copper grease so I'll lather my existing stainless fixings with it, maybe it will slow the seizures!!

I'm giving my 88 a birthday and replacing rusty steel fixings with stainless as I go. I've been told that ptfe (plumbers) tape wrapped around the fixings helps prevent corrosion, alternatively I understand nylon washers are a solution...any ideas, opinions or experience folks? Thanks! Charles

Wire wool also works well! And nail brushes are usually stronger than toothbrushes!

I'll let you know after Friday, I've a day off and we are going to play the timing game then!

I've secured the services of a timing strobe light for tomorrow evening! I'll let you know how it goes!

I've just spoken to a friend and it is possible to get the it 180 degrees out... so slackened it off to check and the pinch plate fell off! :mad:

I've just fitted mine with the same result...Not happy at all! My first parcel never arrived and now this one doesn't appear to work either! That said the dizzy is in a different position with regard to the pinch bolt when compared to the one that came out.

Lol!!!

yes I'm wondering what a pos is as well!!

I'm giving my series a birthday and a heated screen seems like a good plan as we all know the demister vents have all the power of a dying asthmatics breath. Any ideas where to go for the most cost effective solution? I see Devon 4x4 quote about £158 including wiring kit.

Does anyone know how to tidy up the hole you have to make to get the overdrive gearlever in the side of the transmission tunnel? Mine had a riveted panel covering it (which was removed to fit the O/D) It could do with a rubber grommet or similar I think but I'm open to ideas!!!

Hmmm, what do you suggest re replacement HT leads?
