And a Happy New Year to you. When tracing the service record of my 101 i went to Merlin first and got pretty much everything that was available. BUT, given that it went to Ashurch storage in 1977 and only started it's service life as an ambulance in 1982, i couldn't believe it just sat there for...

Mine is the reg number of my S2

In Australia they call it what it is, 'luxury car tax'

That must be heart breaking!

I don't have a good word to say about thick fit! The first time i used them was to get some regrrovale tyre regrroved for my S2. I asked one lad who said he'd have to ask[insert name here]. He was up in the air on the ramp and matey boy shouted up to him to ask if they recut Land Rover tyres...

Silly sod left the windows open! Tried to help out by downloading the clip using video downloadhelper. It downloaded, and i can watch it using VLC but it won't upload to here. Tried converting using Format Factory, but it failed too. I was going to say, just another reason why in my opinion...

A bit of a late reply, but did you try using the Merlin website? It has a lot more info than RCL did. Oh, and it's free... https://merlinarchive.uk/vehicle/81KC72 Vehicle Service History RIV Date Unit 11-Nov-1984 JSCS ASHCHURCH 16-Oct-1987 SUP SQN RLC VEH...

I had to relocate the fuel pump earth connection on the 101 yesterday. It conked out giving me the chance to walk five miles home(it was shorter in my head...) to grab the BM and tools(that i'd recently removed from the 101) and go back to fix it. It was odd. The screw was tight but hadn't...

Ah yes, the New Zealand heritage grill. Why don't you use the grill's complete name? TaumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahuNakatanenga 😁

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I plan to drive to Spain in 2026 for the solar eclipse. I was leaning towards fitting LPG to mine to retain the V8, but now i'm thinking more along the lines of changing to diesel. Maybe a 300TDi on an R380. Or possibly a TD5. At least they are both Land Rover lumps. Did you have 'fun' with the...

OK. i'll try to make you see sense ONCE MORE! You start off with a Series 88 inch on leaf springs. What i see WITH MY OWN EYES at MANY shows is the same 88inch with free tax with it's original registration number sat on a chassis designed for coil springs, with coil springs, with coil spring...

It It's true the free tax is very nice! I'll still be getting mine moted though. If for no other reason than to wind my mate up, the MOT tester. MInd you it's not so easy now he's employing other testers. He can just delegate. I need to get it done at some point as i can't transfer my '101'...

Do you mean an under seat tank or is this a secondary tank?

Ha ha, that's a bit defeatest... The furthest i've been so far is Stoneleigh the other weekend. I practiced not braking down the week before by going to see a mate in Malvern. Driving both ways was about the same as one way to Stoneleigh. If i start to venture anywhere farther afield i might...

To be fair i'm hoping mine will eventually hit double digits as i think the mixture is too rich and hopefully the timing is out too!

Don't know the capacity, and my needle was swinging between a 1/4 and just above empty so decided now was the time to fill up and i brimmed it! This is the second time to get a true mpg. If you are of a nervous disposition, DON'T LOOK! I did, but i'm in denial. And the lady in the kiosk too the...

IF you swap your chassis, engine and gearbox, both axles and steering from another vehicle onto your 'free tax' vehicle and then do not inform DVLA, then yes mate, IT IS ILLEGAL! On two counts. 1. In the eyes of DVLA it is no longer the vehicle as registered which will then be given a Q...

I assumed he referred to the newer 2.2 as opposed to the old 2225...

There are only two ways of modifiying a vehicle: Legally, and illegally. I was being specific. Describing Series Land Rovers that are described as being tax and MOT free yet having the bottom half of a different vehicle under the body. Nobody has mentioned converting to independant suspension...
