[Kind souls in Ludlow ?]

Great options here guys - thank you !

Still 8 days left on the auction - so I'll feed back how it's going

Thank you again everyone.

[BULLOCKS!!!!!]

Nightmare.

I had a nightmare today too - but unfortunately yours tops it.

Hope sorting Brian gets sorted easily and cheaply for you ..

[Kind souls in Ludlow ?]

I'm near Preston - but could easily make the trip to anyone else in lancs.

when there is no point investing in a car hands free kit for your phone because you wouldn't be able to hear it anyway.

Similarly : Where the quality of the stereo is immaterial.

[You know you're a dyed in the wool Land Rover driver when...]

How about ....

When you do a fist pump or sigh of relief when it starts ?

Where there is a certain level of anxiety to every journey for an impending breakdown ?

Or where your driving becomes smoother and smoother the older your vehicle gets :

the bigger the nail the smoother the driving required to reduce clunking.

That's very kind - thank you.

It's on eBay so I'll keep an eye on it and see if anyone is travelling north. If that doesn't pan out, and it doesn't go for to much money, I should be able to drive down within a couple of weeks.

Thank you again.

I'd like to try and buy a seat from Ludlow - but it's pick up only. Is there a kind soul on here who is close by ?

[You know you're a dyed in the wool Land Rover driver when...]

Ahh ! Noted

I've not come across that before !

[You know you're a dyed in the wool Land Rover driver when...]

You park in a giant car park without bothering to note if you are in A42 or W7 - because you can see it amid a sea of euro boxes from miles away.

Is there a price on your website Nige ?

Not sure if it would be where the 'out of stock' is - or I'm missing it ?

[Beads or BB's for tyre balancing]

I'm sure there must be some way to source plastic ball bearing down under ?

[Beads or BB's for tyre balancing]

Any idea of what weights ?

[Beads or BB's for tyre balancing]

Thanks for all the info shared here everyone.

Most of the weights have come off mine with driving in rocky conditions - so I'm going to try something inside the tyres at the next change.

I can provide the popcorn .... as well as the bleating and whining ...

[Copping flack from Horsey Type People while laning]

Crikey !

I don't see it as a problem - don't have a horse either.

Feels a bit spammy and I can't get my head round having the time to be that prolific - but I don't see it as a problem.

[Copping flack from Horsey Type People while laning]

I don't mean to be unfair - just making an observation.

I think you perhaps benefit more from the forum than visa versa. As in the videos are well viewed because this is a popular forum - rather than the forum is popular because of your videos.

But if you want to help you can make a donation to the running costs ?

You get a shiney supporter badge and real kudos then.

[Copping flack from Horsey Type People while laning]

Your activities do seem to be solely limited to promoting your videos. I don't think you go for the community thing much.

I can see why you got that bumper though.

[Copping flack from Horsey Type People while laning]

Just out of interest how many forums do you make duplicate posts on ?

A quick google for the text you copy across shows:

I'm happy to share the facts, especially when I've been criticized for presenting a picture people don't like!

[Scam....beware!]

Sean, I have friends who relish these calls. They have a little unofficial competition as to how long they can keep the scammer on the phone for.

The record set by one of them was quite a few hours, they even got the scammer to call them back after they had their tea. When they kept giving incorrect credit card details the scammer then locked them out of the machine they were working on and demanded payment before they would unlock it again. My friend then took great delight in informing them that all they had done was locked up a virtual pc that he could simply rollback or delete.

That reminds me of this guy:

Well done.

Reminds me of the lines from Kipling :

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build em up with worn-out tools:

Blimey that's cheap. Is that a standard vehicle ?

Can I ask: is the Discovery and Defender manifold the same ?

[D90 - forward facing rear seats...]

Trakkers is the retail arm of Exmoor Trim I think. I think those seats are a pair of the cheaper ones in the links I posted earlier.
