When i worked on the farm in the early 80s, i drove a Morris Marina 1.3 coupe (my first car), Phil drove a Marina 1.8 TC saloon, Colin and Tozzer both drove Allegros. Colin's door key opened mine, Phil's ignition key started mine and i think Tozzer's door key opened Colin's. We didn't think to...

Get a copy of their back door lock key cut and send it to me please? Martin from Able tells me that they are all the same and i don't have a key for mine. Martin didn't believe the chap who told him until he walked over and locked and unlocked Martin's back door.

I think i'll pass, even though i do have a set of tyre levers...

That's how a mate does his on his Series 2.

Well i can't help thinking you didn't try hard enough. I picked up my five new tyres from Demon Tweeks in a 3 series BMW. At least THREE were IN... The dent just pushed out which was fortunate as i really couldn't work out how to keep the goldfish in my new mobile goldfish bowl 😁 I boght a set...

I think me and mates have attended every one, assuming it started about five years ago and every time it's been dry. Except for the last time i went in the D2 without locking centre diff. I never got stuck or even close to it in my old 300TDi. At the start i mentioned no locking diff to the...

You're not wrong about the step. It's bloody heavy! I would have thought being a left hooker from a 101's driving position would have been alright. I think i'll keep mine standard for the time being. Given it's still got the original engine i think i'll be restricting it's use to maybe once a...

I met a mate there. Me in my BMW him in his Astra. Both have Landys, both currently off the road. I was particularly miffed as mine is a 101 that i've had for about a month and Sunday was it's 46th birthday. If i'd got the brakes all sorted i was in two minds whether to go on the course or not...

It's only a one day event, on a Sunday, so yes... ;)

Judging by your pics it wasn't as muddy as i thought it would be given the recent rain.

I'm not happy to say mine auto renewed this year! I miss the endless attempts i made last year to renew my membership and the endless paypal screen of 'something went wrong, please try again later'. I didn't notice this year. I only saw i'd renewed when i looked at paypal for something else and...

Ah, but you forget, in Land Rover's eyes, you wouldn't need access because nothing would ever need accessing... ;)

Yes, remove the metal strip that holds the edage of the carpet in place next to the bumper, then peel back the carpet from under the storage boxes to reveal a plate in the floor. Remove the plate to get access to the fuel pump and sender. You don't need to drop the tank. The biggest pain in the...

Sadly mine is still a 'manly V8'. The fuel tank(plastic) that came with the Chinese heater is useless as is. It's about 400mm square and about 100mm thick with the filler in the top corner. It comes with a hose connector that you poke through from the inside with rubber washers and a nut. I...

I took a pic of Shed when i got back home from work this morning. I think the sky brings out the blue of me Beemer and the grot on Shed's windows something grand! 😍

It makes sense, and given the existing holes i think it's prime candidate for where the Chinese plastic jobby i just bought off ebay might end up going.

Well done sir! I've only ever had to change one heater matrix and that was in a Citroen ZX which are prone to matrix failure. My mechanic cousin says the best way to prevent faiure is to adhere to the manufacturer's recommended coolant replacement intervals. Like brake fluid, coolant change is...

It's the box behind the passenger seat. There is an odd bracket/lever thingy, plus a removable mesh inside of an external louvre vent and a couple of large holes. One goes into the cabin and another towards the back. I'm guessing the two holes i found in the cab floor behind the seats under a...

I see Able Engineering are now selling a steel 'single' reservoir. Seeing that it's a standard Girling item i goodled brake reservoir and the cheapest i've found, all be it in plastic, was quite shockingly cheap! £13.16 each. The Girling one is £40.38 plus VAT...

Crikey, i hope YOU aren't paying for the fuel!
