Filip Got some 'garden' space here 😉 handy for 7S breakages😜. Glad you got sorted and nice to see the land rover camaraderie is alive and kicking especially having been on the receiving end of some bush repairs by your good selves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve b Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 It's great to see the community working together , one of the many reasons I've been a Land Rover owner since 1981 . That was a pretty rare breakage to have , on the subject of P38's sitting , I have a complete 2.5 auto here that has been off the road for a while - BeCM is fried due to water which has come from leaking heater O rings , it has had some new stuff just before getting laid up - Bosch service exchange IP , 3 new air springs , compressor , pm me if it's of interest cheers Steve b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 All these offers of old P38's there's going to be a Belgian car-transporter coming over and then Filipe will have to build a bigger workshop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can then have a barn and store all his vehicles here for when he breaks them. I'd offer to look after it for him of course 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Proof that @elbekko & @Escape are incurable petrolheads, here's the Lotus sitting waiting while they are playing in (and breaking) the P38 tow-car: Here's the damage: @miketomcat fetched the trailer - I stood in the way to stop him making off with the Lotus as he's got a thing for small plastic cars: And reluctantly let them swap the load over: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Piers did bring cider while we were removing the transfer box but that would've gone badly mind you I'm not convinced the 39p Happy Shopper energy drink was much better.

miketomcat Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I don't drink plus we all needed to drive at some point or another during the day. But we did enjoy the festivities later that evening. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to p**s on your parade, but so many older threads, still highly relevant and valuable, are significantly devalued by photos no longer being available.

elbekko Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Didn't feel like trying to upload 140 pictures to the forum that are not LR related, and Imgur was being a pain with sorting them, so Flickr it was. I get your comment, but for this it's just too much of a pain. The relevant pictures have been uploaded to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Hunter Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Thanks for the explanation and support for photos to be on the forum, not elsewhere, and I fully understand your reasons for putting them on Flickr. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 If anyone has their own web hosting I'm happy to share my php gallery scripts, they allow you to view a folder of photos like an album & post dynamically resized versions without any query strings which upset forum software. Only thing they don't do is upload files, but that's what FTP is for Example - my album from Brooklands. Example resized pics: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
