Yup, one of Foley's finest. Took the option of fitting wheelspacers so apparently the turning circle isn't too bad. I didn't have time to take it on the "Tesco Test Drive". I'm sure we'll find some "I wouldn't have done it like that" bits over the next few weeks but it looks superb and the bodywork joins are invisible from the outside. Headlining and rear window surrounds have also being nicely modified. Looks like an original CSW inside. Give me a few weeks and I'll get it pictured with a 110 and a 90 for comparison, just need a BIG open space to do it. You need to stand a long way off to get it in the camera viewfinder!

My mate had this made over the summer for his business. Don't like like much special, just a new shiney truck But take a look side on No photoshop here. That's a 130 CSW. 3 x rows of 3 forward facing and 2 fold up forward facing highbacks in the back. Lovely bit of kit. Just waiting side steps, full length roofrack and some other odds 'n' sods

I don't think they're taking the mick of the eating but the spelling. Look more closely. Naughty boys, you really shouldn't mock the spelling disadvantadged.

Yep, getting the setting right is different from person to person. For a short bit of accurate work turn the shade down a little so you can see whats going on around the arc rather than staring into the arc.

I don't think you realise quite how big it is. Think "Ford Cargo" and add a bit

and at the other end of the scale is this fugly piece of kit

If it's threaded I would go for electrogalv/anodized if I were paying. Painted if I were being tight or Stainless if I had a bit the right size, pretty unlikely if it's 10mm thick!

Rather predictably, a little bit of software transforms the alphanumeric string into a barcode. There are several formats (at least 3) you just need to know what format your client uses and how they construct their text string It could be Supplier code Product code etc. That might be enough, but they might include, for non retail purposes, date of manufacture or similar

and just what are Land Rover's recomended pressures for Grizzly 265 75s on a Discovery? I don't think it's in the handbook

But that is just classic Land Rover One gets treated with kidd gloves, all the best parts, best oils, weekly checks - breaks down at every oportunity. Whereas the farm hack, held together with baler twine, run on god knows what fuel, never had the oil changed - runs and runs until the day it collapses in a cloud of iron oxide

Colleague at work has the same problems. The local "french specialist" parts supplier ie reluctant to supply pads/dics without seeing the vehicle. It would seem that on the front suspension it is a "use what we have" situation on these cars. They have even seen one with different callipers left and right The car shares component with citroen as well so revisions can be made part way through obvious "facelifts" if the citroen model is updated.

I know it is well out of your area but this place always has a good turnover of stock and if they have 2 or more you are interested in may be worth the trip.

And still in low box Apparently they have reached the limits of the tyres though Although if they cut the "dumper tread" off I'm sure it would go better

From the driver himself "The car has still got loads to give. I throttled back on the second run and we haven't even used sixth gear yet, so the car can still go faster."

£75/hour labour charges at the Volvo dealer £140 for a part the volvo did not need ( + labour for fitting) at the "Independent Volvo Specialist". Fixed it myself and it still works 3+ years later

My Land Rover

They were going to have another go to beat their own record today!

So, what happened in the end????????????????

There is an ever decreasing amount of the UK that you can use a 4x4 on. They are even trying to ban us from the black top!

That's what I did (but not £12k) and the buggy fits in the boot without folding it down Me, wife and baby all fit in the front of the 90 too. Along with folded buggy and two big dogs in the back. Before we got the 110 the 90 was the only car the "whole" family could go out in together. couldn't do it in the Volvo V40!

Would this count! It was going to be towed by a 4litre Jeep. But it compressed the bumpstops!

Full details HERE

Wouldn't surprise me if it were nicked. Fave spot to take cars and burn them out..jump them on stolen bikes etc..

Not with Discovery axles engine gearbox and chassey(sp) it can't!

So basically its a "Forward Control" Shogun then
