What did you do with your Range Rover today

[Henry_b]

No mate, Keep her nice and clean. That is a lovely and rare colour on a later run out P38. I love it. Years ago i met the footballer Kevin Keegan at Straight 8 Bentley/Rolls dealer in the new forest and he was trading in his 2001 model P38 HSE in the same colour on a Bentley GT. I was looking at an RT Mulliner for sale at the same time.
Lovely chap he was and spoke openly about his P38 and how he had enjoyed owning it for a few years albeit he fancied a change.

Maybe i should have bought it back then. But regarding yours i would give it some love buddy and get her gleaming.

Thanks, 99% of the time she is gleaming a respray is in order sometime, when i can afford it.

After a while the P38s grow on ya, always fancied a Nice Bentley or a Shadow that wasn't rotten, my Uncle had a Turbo R Olympian one of the rarest. he was surprised to find it was worth almost as much as the house he lived in!

Check the résistance on your plugs Alan and bridge the fuel pump relay.

Top bloke indeed. A mate of mine wrote him a letter of congratulations when he was manager of Newcastle. He wrote back personally with a hand written letter and sent him a Christmas card each year afterwards.

Fought with a classic today. Two rear shocks, the center rear ball joint with quick a 13 ton session, the body mounts and a rear brake flexi. My hands are Flipping sore... And diagnosed two dead glow plugs on a j**p cherrypicker.

I''ll check the spares "in the stores" or just get some new Beru, i couldn't be rrrsed after fixing the lawnmower. So I sat at the bottom of the garden and fed wood into a wood burner, that's the last of the old gas barbeque gone. No more earache

Thats the first one i was looking at but delivery may be next, i could do with it a bit sooner but may well end up with it, just trying to find the quickest available one.

It took three days to get to me from the order date. Which for NI I was delighted with.

Pressed steel by the look of it, wonder if that will flow better than the cast metal one

 

[Tenebreaux]

Do I really need to take the head and sump off to remove the front cover to get at the chains?

 

[marjon]

Thats because they're always running

That’s a debatable subject
