Hi David, Thanks for the link to the Green Oval site. Downloading the Rave CD as I type. Unfortunately at my paltry 512Kbps this'll take *all* night, but hopefully will be worth it. While looking at the brackets I noticed that the side was removable, and the bolts holding them together appear to be the same size as the mounting bolts for the steps ... at least they're the same thread! This will help get the right type anyways, and length should be easy enough to guestimate. Heading in the right direction ..... Cheers, Ripface.

Hi All, Wonder if anyone can help. I just picked up a set of original Side Steps for my 2001 Range Rover Westminster. The steps arrived today, and are perfect, complete with the triangular brackets .... but no bolts! The bolts to the chassis legs appear to screw directly into the chassis. I guess there is a tapped hole? The bolts on to the step legs also appear to be tapped. Does anyone know the sizes of these bolts so's I can order them up? Cheers, Ripface.

Hi All, My first post on LR4x4. Cool! My 1998 V8ES Disco has been giving me gyp!! Every so often the ol' bisum won't start. Cranks OK, but no wanna go!! Went to our local Indi for some advice, and it appears it's a common fault particularly with V8's. The Alarm Control Unit (Spider) is known for failing due to excessive heat stuck down between the heater unit and the radio. Common fix is to tear the guts out of the dashboard, rescue the spider from it's lair, and resolder any dry joints. Hmmm, sounds like tooooo much grief. I ran a feed (with in-line fuse) from the ignition lead to the coil, and hey presto the old dear is resurrected. Am I missing anything? Is this likely to cause any unwanted side effects? Cheers, Ripface.
