    Probably for the best Mike. I've got a limit of one 'fun' car too.

    That's it, you're off the Christmas card list Ross.

    I did think that, and considered an '@' mention, but didn't want to be responsible for getting him in (more) trouble.

    Spotted this for sale t'other day. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2898656233728939 Must be a pretty rare thing. I'm forever looking at weird and wonderful cars, but not seen one of these come up for sale before. Just thought it was interesting, that's all!

    I can picture it already... Passenger floor removed, with Mike upside down in the seat, head through the floor, having a good nose at what's going on underneath, cruising round baisingstoke. "Well, officer, er, you see, we were..."

    A friend of mine bought a 110 from the guy at Alpine. We came to the conclusion he didn't have any spanners, because none of the bolts were more than finger tight. Scariest of all being a track rod end that was so loose it was clonking about in the hole.

    As Mav says, it's a switched earth. This is because the door switches basically are a short to the bulkhead, through their mounting screw. As it's not working on either the local or door switches, I'd be looking for a dodgy connection in the wiring that goes up to the light.

    First thing I would try is a set of sensible road tyres / wheels.

    Is anyone mid project on a TD5 or TDCI? If so would you mind measuring the front to back dimension of the fuel tank for me.

    When I had a battery drain issue I checked the amps, not ohms. Cause of mine was the alternator.

    I have a Belle mixer you can borrow if you want. 240v one.

    Here's my free materials win for the day.

    I'm always on the hunt for free building materials. A good source is when people are having a re-roof / extension and all the often quite decent old timber gets ripped off and dumped in the garden then advertised as 'fire wood'. I've rescued and built all sorts out of it over the years.

    Ross, that last picture looks like somebody has had a terrible accident.

    Should withstand the apocalypse.

    My answer to "What model / year is it?" is usually "various".

    If you think this one was expensive you should see what the "Land Rover Classic" badges that were fitted to the tailgates of the last Range Rover Classics go for.

    It's on ebay now. £1 start, no reserve. I figured that was the fairest way.

    Arjan, is your keyboard on fire with fingers that fast? PS: Thanks, it's obvious now 🤦‍♂️

    Neither. Use genuine metalastic bushes.

    Series 3 alternator brackets - a non cast version of the cast ones.
