Thanks Ian, will try an oil change. doesn't usually get worse with revs tho. Just approaching 80k, so watch this space ! Baloo

Had the Plenum Chamber stripped and refitted today, with no probs found. Rattle is still present, done a lot of miles recently with no ill effects. Landy man thinks it could be a piston ring. Surely this would increase the noise in time with the engine ? Also, I've noticed that this rattle only comes in when engine is almost up to temp, not when cold. Any further ideas anyone ? Ta Baloo

Hi Look here: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/stage1v8/TechnicalRoofRack.htm Baloo

Hi All Took the 95 V8i on a longish run yesterday - beautiful ! Today though, after a short run noticed a rattle from the engine bay. Feared the worst ! However: Rattle does not seem to increase in intensity in time with revs increase, but does quicken intermittently under power and seems to be coming from the plenum chamber. Read somewhere that pipes in there can come loose and cause a hell of a noise. My local landy specialist thinks the same. Any other opinions here before I put this in to get the plenum chamber sorted. No performance problems and rattle def coming from around the plenum...... Many thanks Baloo

Also, looks like I'll need to remove the front spoiler, and trim down the bumper ends................ or have you fitted an earlier bumper version ? Ta again ! Baloo

Thanks Y'all. Found the steering guard you suggest on Paddocks (PM610). Was it a fairly easy bolt on fit ? Baloo

Yep, good point BM, thought it could be an issue Would you say the same about recovery points on steering guards etc? Wheres the best place to put recovery shackles then, I don't really wat to replace the front bumper with a winch one... ? Ta Baloo

Hi All Looking for a Discovery A Bar (300 series) but with integral recovery points Tried Paddock, Craddocks etc, but no joy Any ideas? Baloo

Yep, its a lot of dosh .................. !! Any recommendations for a decent welder then, surrey area please, I'll supply the floor ? Ta Baloo

Yep, went to a local caravan store yesterday to get some shorter towball bolts now I've removed the device. The bloke was telling me that it can certainly lul you in to thinking the caravan is much more stable than it actually is, until you encounter certain conditions ............................ Baloo

Best I can do is point you towards Rundlestone, Dartmoor on the B3357 between Two Bridges and Merrivale Grid Ref SX 577 749. Was there at Xmas and definately saw a group of landies, heading up in the direction of Little Mis Tor. Good luck and enjoy ! Baloo

Thanks Nic, a great help, been quoted£550 to replace the floor alone, needto have a good look around an establsh exect extent of corrosion............ Baloo

Hi Theres def the opportunity around Okehampton, I'll check my maps and come back to you. regards Baloo

Ha Ha, cheers Rog, staring to enjoy it allready...............

Thanks Mark Couldn't see your pic, but get the pic if you see what I mean ! Coming off tommorrow ! Ta Baloo
