Chris, Can't do the New Year weekend, though am free for our annual 1st weekend in January gig probably. You're not planning on using tulips are you, no offense woosy TJ! The whole point of a treasure hunt is that you have to hunt out the route using cunningly crafted clues surely?

Coming along nicely Steve!

Not a removable one like mine then?

Try not to, 'ey Paul? The boy was worried enough about you rolling on this one!

Doesn't everyone's? Hush ma mouth!

The humble mobile phone, preferably with a nice AA man at the end!

Chris, How much of this problem might be a function of the rim as opposed to the tyre? Or is this ingress of mud a known MT problem? Not something I've noticed on my 750 SAGs.

It's so true!

I didn't overlook load space for sports equipment. I can fit at least two sets of darts in the back!

Last few piccies for now: Interior mainly finished now. Fuel tank plumbed in with breather going up into roof lining and over the top. Car started first time after priming the tank, but what a racket without the exhaust! Note the discoloured fuel from the penetrating die Nick used to leak test the tank. Tailgates and shortened rear-quarter panels... ..with plenty of clearance between lower tailgate and winch area, as Nick's already pointed out. Fuel filler in finished side panel. Winch mounting backet in place, with opening for access to free-spool mechanism. Nearly done! Still to do list: - Prep for MOT, including final check on electrics and fit modified exhaust. - Clean and paint underside. - Fit front 8274. (Rear winch will have to wait for finance). You'll be able to the (probably un-painted) result at FSWC3! Thanks again to Nick, without whom this would still be a rusting jigsaw strewn around the garage. B)

A few months ago with the help of my good buddie and mentor, Nick 'RogueVogue' Watts, we took this perfectly good 1991 Range Rover Classic 3.9 Vogue SE... ..and started to do this to it: A 15" gap appeared in the back of my car.. ..and it ended up like this: So we thought we'd better stick it back together again.. ..and made sure the spare wheel still fitted inside. It is a Range Rover after all. The spare belongs inside! On went the new rear cross member.. ..and the roof. Then we fitted the new rear winch bumper, designed for an EP9 SuperWinch. The space taken up by the spare wheel and the winch is where the fuel tank used to live. Very neat! Side view with exhaust exit hole in bumper. Wheel tray in place. Tailgate hinges welded onto cross member, and fuel tank paraphenalia in situ. No - we hadn't forgotton the fuel tank! Note the removable winch tray... Inner panel fitted with fuel filler assembly. The fuel tank! It fits nicely between the rear seats (Yes - I did keep them!) and the spare wheel tray, and remarkably has a bigger capacity than the original. 96 litre tank compared to the 88 litre standard tank. We made use of the original fuel sender/pump. It really did turn out to be a plug & play fuel tank swap! Spare wheel in situ. To be continued....

Horsham & District 4x4 Club! It's a no-brainer! No Membership fee; no AGM; no Officers; Only 3 rules: [1]4x4 Required or Desired [2]Have Fun [3]Be Nice; No WebSite (Coz I'm a kn*b!)... That's it basically.

A TRE? There's a whole forrest of the buggers here! Wassat then?

or 3a: Whether you're in a bob-tastic Rangie, raised to the rafters, with a bunch of flowers (for the missus 'cos you spent so much time in the garage), and smoking from every leaking exhaust joint!

Sad indeed, but that was his problem - No fear! All well and good for a showman, but if cavemen didn't exhibit a healthy amount of fear, and faced up to every T-Rex they came across, we wouldn't be here now!

Leave it! Walk away! Nothing to see here... "Thise" post should be left to fester in it's own self pity, and the world should move along now....

Yeah, Bye!

Not if the topic is marked OT, as this one is.

Cool thread!

It's all rumour and third hand supposition, this thread. It's like being in the cafe on Coronation Street!

That's acknowledged in the title, Mandy... "Worth highlighting this again"

Hmmmmm! TDV8! Having been told how fast the TDV6 actually is by the LR Assist man recently, I can only imagine how sweet this baby will be! I'll let you know for sure in about September 2008!

Yes - so I gather after doing some research, but even in this case, it's still the 7th possible choice! I just don't see why we can't at least sometimes define acronyms at least once in a thread if it isn't used that often, so thickos like me don't have to go off and see if we can fathom out what on earth people are talking about... So I'm not talking about LOL, SWMBO or WTF!

Dell Axim 51V with TomTom Bluetooth unit. Works superbly with both TomTom Navigator 5 and Memory Map. Also as it's a Windows Mobile 5 unit, even if you completely drain the battery, it retains all of the data. no more re-installing flat PDAs.

WTF (What The F**K) is SVO??! Maybe in just asking this question it proves that this thread isn't for me, and therefore it's an implicit filter on acronym thickos. But this forum is aimed at all levels of LR (Land Rover) enthusiasts, and these coded threads really get on my wick!
