So, I've just bought this Land Rover for £20,000.

And the steering's a bit odd. Do you think that having the wheels chromed might fix it?

nah you gotta get the wrecked v8 fixed first , then put a chassis on it that isent rotten , then and only then chrome the wheels! its will help with wheel balance ! plus make your self obsessed ego grow even bigger and your penis smaller !

ah screw it use it as a greenhouse ! I believe the previous owner used it when he wanted to get into theme parks free , retarded is now on the disabled list

You need a new steering wheel... it's always the steering wheel.

Chrome wheels! I'll give you £40, 000 for it.:bounce:

That's a very fair offer Flatlander. but I think that it's only right that I sort this steering problem out. After all, I'd have had to pay a lot more for it if the previous owner had fixed it. She told me that she'd asked for help on the internet, but that nobody understood the problem.

I'm following Bump's advice and looking at new steering wheels. There's a good X5 one on eBay at the moment. Very good value from China. Tempted by a Bearpart Range Rover Sport one though, because it comes with a one week warranty. Has anybody wired one of these into their steering wheel buttons?

get even lower profile tyres first!

then put a quad exhaust pipe on, the extra wash at the back will change the aerodynamics and sort out the issue

or a spoiler!!

try greasing the propshafts, see if that fixes it

I like your thinking Naytdawg. It worked for F1 last year didn't it.

I've given them a wipe with lard, but can't honestly see how that will help. It's quite a learning curve with these Land Rovers isn't it?

Too late. See above.

In case I need to grease something else though, where can I buy some? Will I be able to buy some 710 liquid for the engine from the same place?

I believe if you clink on any post below one of the owners may be able to sell you some

don't forget to use normal grease for the tyre treads though !!

Thanks for that link. I can see myself wasting hours there...

Do you really have a Landy? Mine has an apparently standard driveway oiler, which keeps the tyres topped up nicely.
