Booked

Hi Chris Jennifer and I are leisurely strolling down tomorrow too, so see you for drinks and grub cheers Ashley

Thanks Chris I can confirm that Jennifer and I are booked in Cheers Ashley

Hi Thanks The handles I need are the ones that take the larger door lock barrel. I think they are post 2006 cheers Ashley

I need a pair of TD5 / TDCi front door handles I cant seem to locate any copy versions. I have spoken with my local land rover dealer spare parts guys who are all enthusiasts and they have told me that there are no patent parts available. Before I part with £75 for a pair of genuine ones is there anyone who knows where patent versions are available Cheers Ashley

Just replaced the reat door on my 300 tdi station wagon with a td5 / tdci rear door. I am looking for an inner door trim / card in chequerplate Does anyone know where I can get one Cheers Ashley

I have a 300tdi sation wagon I have purchased a second hand rear door as mine was deteriorating I wanted the newer version door so I could have the seal around the window and the intergrated rear light I am told that the door I have is from a tdci. How can I tell? is there any difference between a tdci and a td5? I need to know as I need to get a new door lock and I am assuming that the tdi lock wont fit Is there any difference between the td5 and the tdci rear lock? Also the door has come without the rear light fitted. I have a rear light and it has two fitting holes either side as if it should screw to the rear window. There are no fittings on the rear window so are there two types of rear glass or are all the rear glass the same and I am missing a fitting kit? Any help appreciated Cheers Ashley

Okay sounds good Shall we say 7 pm on Friday at the Devonshire Arms for 7 ish people http://www.thedevonshirehotel.co.uk/dining.html Cheers Ashley

Hi Chris My friend Gavin will also join he will be in a disco Where shall we meet as we all seem to be in different accomodation but only a stones throw from each other? Cheers Ashley

its looking like it might be difficult to find one hotel that will be able to accomodate us all. If we focus around the village of Grassington then we should all be able to meet uo for dinner in the evening in one place.

Thanks thats helpful. The Wooly sheep is fully booked, they have a party. The Devonshire only has a few rooms left so book quickly. Not sure about the forresters Ashley

Hi Chris I am in. I have driven some lanes north of a village called Burnsall near Skipton. there is a pub there with accomodation called the Red Lion which is great but it appears to have no availability. I'll keep looking Cheers Ashley

Please accept my apologies, for the late link to the video Had a great day Ashley http://s1094.photobucket.com/albums/i448/queenandcountry/

We'll be getting there around 6pm on Friday Looking forward to it Ashley

Thanks everyone Thats helpful Now, I've ordered a blanking plate off ebay so I can sort it out before removing the old plate One other question - do I drill and then tap into the plate or can I drill the plate and bolt the probe through it. Is the plate thick enough to be tapped or do I weld a bolt ontop and srew the probe into the bolt Cheers Ashley

I am in the process of fitting an exhaust temp gauge. The instructions suggest drilling into the turbo housing and taping a thread to fix the temp probe. I was looking at the turbo on my 300 tdi and wondering whether I can just drill through the blanking plate on the EGR and using that instead of drilling through the housing Any one know if this is okay Cheers Ashley

Were booked in for Friday and Saturday can't wait Ashley

Hi A friend of mine is coming up to Wales with me for a little greenlaning adventure. He has a freelander 2 and I have suggested that he should beef up the recovery points than those which are fitted by Land Rover I can't seem to find too much on the internet regarding a freelander Jate ring equivalent Can anyone help, we will need recovery points for front and rear Cheers Ashley

Hi In one of the LRO mags in recent months there were some cool boxes advertised that kept items cold for upto 14 days Does anyone have a link to the website as I cant find the article Thanks Ashley

letter from Land Rover attached

It seems to have worked with the DVLA Attached is the revised V5 Hope this helps and good luck

I sent the email off to the DVLA so I'll see what their response is As stated earlier the TFL LEZ has subsequently written to me and have stated that my defender is now not subject to the LEZ. It may be therefore beneficial to you to send a similar letter to the one I wrote and se e what they come up with If I get some response from the DVLA then I'll post it Keep trying and good luck Ashley
