Hybrid_From_Hell Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Is a B1tch .................... I know it is. Been out of MOT for some months, but with being super busy at work (good thing) and having wifeys Mum & Dad both go through Cancer (Not a Good Thing) her being bullied at work and resigned (Not good either) and then Father In Law needing a Pacemaker (not good either) life has been a tad "Busy" As things calmed down (Good thing !) I TOLD my 90 I would sort her out, so webshop closed I got stuck in. The amount needing doing stunned me when it had done so few miles since last MOT, but, most of those were off road. 5 yes 5 F SOLID days I loved her and booked in for an MOT all as certain as I could be. On the bloody way there I stopped at a round about approx 400 yards from MOT station, and the friggin indicator decided to go double time ..yup bulb gone. I shoved it on the MOT bay and shouted "JUST F DONT..... JUST DONT" and shot into the motor factors next door bulb bought changed worked yaaay then came the emissions, ................knew these would be fine so climbed in and turned key NOTHING not even a click. MOT tester had a sense of humor "You might think it can't fail now Nige - but I believe failing to produce a specimen when required is a Fail" Ha de F ha Smack with hammer did nothing, then we saw that the bang I entered the MOT ramp in a grumpy state had fractuired the ignitor wire, so hot as it was and a couple of burns later it passed It hates me even if I love her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy996 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I think all Land Rovers were made to be difficult; 5th gear has fallen off mine. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Not good regarding the non LR side - the LR side sounds unfortunatly all too familiar... The #$^%$#^#%@%$# 300 Tdi needed 9 adjustments to get it onto the gearbox - and it is hot here.. Good luck with the 90 - use it please ! ...and put up the pics. Like that vehicle a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Hope life's on the up now. You forgot to mention all your DIY. I can't believe there isn't another story from those few weeks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02GF74 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Whilst this is after all a Land rover forum, don't get bogged down with trivia e. G. 90. Focus on your parents who will be going through a tough time. You lll always be able to replace a land rover, not the same story with your parents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 When did you fit hi-society hydraulic bumpstops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 That's a hellish time, so I'm glad it's improving. Sod's law with the 90, though. Still, whatever its woes, at least it's still just a car at the end of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_pete Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Surely if the ignition lead is going to break anywhere, in the middle of a clean dry fully equipped garage isn’t a bad option ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
