Well said that man.
I think land rover have completely lost the plot lately but I'm not worried as I'll never need to buy a new one and I don't plan on replacing the ones I have.

I think the general rule is once it's faded to white it has had enough uv to warrant replacement. Mine is also white mind it is 7 years old and could do with replacing though I'll use it for a bit longer yet.

Not sure what happened there but you get the idea.

When they ask for your reg number just start with Q*** *** that will make them panic and give up.
On the AA note I phoned them with lunched turbo oil seal they sent a patrolman. He turned up l said "there's no way I'm starting it for you" he took it on faith and called a flatbed taxi. Then listened in disbelief when I told him the wife and kids are staying in Wales while myself and tsd go back with it to change the engine and return two days later.

You could try some heat on it. The bodge way that sometimes works for the drop arm is to loosen the big nut and go for a drive just bear in mind if that nut falls off the drop arm can fall off to! You will feel play in the steering when it all comes loose.

If it helps at all I'll be traveling from Southampton up the A34 next weekend for the adventure overland show and the following weekend to Newbury sort out.

I would expect them to be snug but not stiff the main thing is no play. If it's stiff it will put extra strain on the bolts.

Many thanks I have booked into manor Farm not that they really take bookings.

Thanks for the suggestions so far I'm waiting for manor Farm to get back with a price (there website is vague). Teign house is full shame as this looked perfect. Any others?

We are going to Exeter this weekend for a show and figured we'd make a weekend of it. So we are looking for somewhere to stay in the rooftent (possibly with the trailer as well). It will be Saturday night for sure but possibly Friday night to. We are completely self contained so need only a spot and needs to be cheap. Anyone got some recommendations looking to get it sorted asap.

Viscous on 45 and a cheapy electric off ebay on the 110 (only because you can't fit a Viscous on a disco 200 with a 3 bolt steering box).

That truck was bought (and now being sold) by foers recently it needs a whole load of loving and has different axles front and rear.

It looks familiar but not a land rover part I think it's a tool but can't place it.

There's a German company that makes one like that not sure who but Google 110 roof rack (images).

That hitch is the same as mine which means it was built around 1953.

The last booking day this year is the Wednesday 14th sept. So best get a wriggle on.

I've not done it but tdci has no flaps and the dash/heater is completely different. So I would use a 200tdi bulkhead (i'm pretty sure you can get them ready galvanized) however you could use a td5 bulkhead but it does require modifications which I would do then get it galvanized.

Wow that's as subtle as fridge and myself......

If he gives them to me I can back them up with 6 layers of kevlar that way they'll be bulletproof.
