Well as promised picked up my tool chest combo today, first impresions are good, well packaged, good qaulity finish and the drawers are smooooth.
As it comes
First job rip open the biggest box and stick the coasters on
Then repeat as neccesary with the other two boxes and stick it all on top of each other
Didn't have much time to play with it as got wind the misses was on her way back, best not get caught at the moment i thinks
Did manage to put a couple of trays in though
Hopefully going to get out tomorrow and star filling up it up
Very happy with it so far, only issue i can see is that there are 3 different keys, having said that it will probably never be locked

Couldn't resist this, been looking at tool chests on ebay for a while now, but nothing comes close to the price of this, bottom roller cabinets were looking to be about the same price, probably should have gone to look at one first but a few mates have halfords chests and they're happy with them.
Going to pick it up in the morning will post pics and first thoughts tomorrow

Oops double post sorry chaps

The ratchet looks identical to a bahco ratchet i've got albeit in blue instead of orange.
Ordered one anyway, like Jason says for £15 delivered you can't really complain

Mark, they normally have a decent thick spreader plate behind them to help prevent them pulling through, i dont think the thickness of metal on the bumper is enough, hopefully someone will either confirm or deny this soon

It has been done to a 110 too, i remember seeing it on (i believe) the old forum or very early on on this one
, Having said that it could have been lro. They had done exactly as has been said to the panels, cut down the middle and add a bit, bigger windscreen with 3 wiper arms on and if think it had custom axles and running gear too.I hope i saw it somewhere and haven't lost the plot.
Iceland seems to ring a bell too (no not the shop)

Disco ron, i think the chap your thinking about is raptor engineering, he does a plate to go in the side of the seatbox and a modified battery strap too

Hello chaps
I'm new to range rover owning, having just bought a 4.6 V8 hse auto, absolutely stunning vehicle, unlike anything i;ve ever driven.#Drove back from Berkshire to Mid Wales yesterday no problems at all
However last night after supper and maybe a bit to much wine i had to move it further down the drive to allow my girlfiend to get out.
As far as i can remember i did everything right(nothing to go wrong he says)
But for some reason i know no longer have and drive in hi or lo backwards or forwards. Now i dont remeber taking the handbrake off(stupid moment) but could this have bent, broken or twisted something, are the gearbow and handbrake connected in anyway?
Also when the auto selctor is put into park there is a very horrible whirring/grinding noise
Any help you guys can give me is greatly recieved
PS: Just to add its my own drive on private land and no public roads where harmed during this adventure and i know i shouldn't have been shouldn't drive under the influence)
Many thanks

Sorry to hear that chap, there are two independent landrover garages near where you are. Safari Engineering in Eversley, not had any work done there but i have dealt with them for parts and advice, nice chaps.
The other is Nick Kerner in winkfield never used them just know about them, good reports on their work but can be a bit pricey from what i've heard.
Safari Engineering 0118 973 2732
Nick Kerner 01344 885222
No real connections with either just trying to offer some help

Hi brian, i've replaced the wheel bearing several times on the passenger side and had it done twice by "proper" mechanics although before say 1500 miles there is a smear of oil appearing on the alloy, but only the passenger side, i haven't looked at the drivers side.

Evening chaps, with a bit of luck someon might be able to help and confirm my thoughts.
My 110 ht 300tdi has now chomped its way through two sets of rear tyres this year (maybe 15000 miles) but not totally only the inside of the rears, quite literally half the tyre is nearly bald while the outer edge is still brand new
Now is this due to suspesion bushes like i think or something more serious.
I do tend to run with loads of fencing/ building tools and equipment all the time, don't very often tow and never go far when i do.
Oh the tyres are colway enduro 265/75 16's, i quess i should have started looking after the first set but just put it down to bad luck
Cheers Mark
If it helps i can get a picture up tomorrow

Jim, it didn't quite explode just a tiny tiny crack in the seem, got a new one from safari engineering in the end saturday, Seems ok so far

Evening all chaps
Driving my 300tdi 110 tonight the expansion tank decided to go bang. Now providing i can get a replacement first thing in the morning is it just a simple task of swapping over and just topping up with water/antifreeze?(if so how much of each part) Looking at the puddle that formed it didn't seem like a vast amount of water.
Will there be any need to drain/bleed the system
Thanks in adavance
Mark
PS: Does anyone in berkshire has a spare 300tdi expansion tank in exchange for some beer tokens

I reckon i can get anywhere between 300 and 450 miles from my 110 ht 300tdi. Havin said that the fuel gauge happily bounces around between full and half regardless of how much is in it. So i don;t trust that and i'm pretty sure i've never seen a fuel light.
I brim it at the pump and then reset the trip/mileage counter and normally fill up again at 300 miles, somethimes its £50 sometimes its as much as £80
Only once forgot to fill up at 300 but thats the day i managed 450 although driven with kid gloves on i must admit

Just watching bbc breakfast and they've got a chap from the aa who recomends putting meths in the washer bottle.
I recently bought 10 litres of screenwash from a pound shop in aberystwyth (unbranded as far as i can remember) and so far its been spot on, having said that the spray from my washers on the 110 have a job reaching the screen let alone freezing on it

Si

Hi Mikey, i had thought of thatbut to be honest i really doubt i shall ever lock it, it was just more of a gripe as if i was selling them as a combination i'd give the option for matching locks, only nit picking though because everything else is spot on
