What did you do with your Range Rover today

I think that taking oil from the lower areas in our planet has given way to heat transfer from the core maybe?
If you run your engine with less and less coolant!!

I like Northern Spain much better than the south.
The slight thud on shifts may cure itself, it did on mine. Bonnes vacances.

It was a day visit! Around 600mls and 100€ if fuel in the bus 1.37€ a litre in Spain and that was the exelium total diesel. Bloody injector leakoff pipes have started weeping ..
Whenever that's mentioned on here it starts an epidemic:p
I'm putting some Lucas fix into the box to hopefully help out.
The thus only happens on mild acceleration, really light throttle and or heavy throttle it's fine...not giving in yet:cool:;)

Well in Roman times you could grow grapes in Scotland, it was a lot warmer then in the UK than it is now. Something the climate change idiots don't seem to realise. It must have been down to the 4 X 4s the Romans used to pull their chariots with. :D:D

Once read about Romans growing grapes in Britain so it inspired me to try on my allotment . Not bad for Yorkshire, typical crop of red and white grape. 33kgs in weight. Yes I have my own press and fermenting nicely. Any V8 drivers this stuff will give a right boost to your engines.
 
The chalky soil found in many parts of the UK is good for one of 2 things, growing barley for beer, or grapes for wine. Strangely the French have zapped up a lot of the land down sarth but aren't using it for anything so they don't have competition in wine making.
 
So I found one of these on the back of mine. And I find myself in another town to look at and potentially buy the wife a P38. Hopefully it is as good in person as it was online.

Fitted a new piston ring in my air compressor, and set about investigating why the right hand rear suspension wasn't moving. The arm on the sensor that attaches to the suspension arm had come adrift from its clevis. So its now cable tied in place to see if eveything works again which it does! So a new sensor to buy and all should be good.
Then fitted a gasket to the top of the fuel pump module as the previous owner left it out when he fitted a new module!
In all, a fairly successful few hours.
Next I need to tackle the noisy engine and the lpg condensor that is weeping coolant.

Now I think about it one of mine was cable-tied in place about 5 years ago and it might still be. Better check that in the morning!

The trailer or the dihatsu?

No, but the previous owner did, so now I get a bent door. Which is brilliant because I just love the wind noise.

So it turns out we're now a 2 P38 household. The wives is better than mine though, she has a 99 4.oh V8, with a huge LPG tank in the boot. Drives like a dream too.

Only real things I don't like about it are they have glued on some "wish I had a Sport" tat, and the tint job has to go, otherwise she is a good little motor, been well looked after, and they chucked on the original 18" alloys, rather than the horrendous 21" alloys from a X5 they originally had on it.

But for 900 wangers, not a bad deal.

If you don't mind me asking, what size rims and tyres do you have on the towing vehicle?

Lopsided shark vents is disappointing but nice little find. Like the hurricanes.

Yeah, there is a lot of lopsided addons, like the "SPORT" badge on the trim above the glovebox. But about 40quid a wing, so they'll be getting changed and slowly dechavved.
The wheels are the ones I really want for this, I am slightly jealous.

I have 16" wheels, with UniRoyal Rallye 4x4 Street. Although they do grumble a little when high speed cornering, I like them, at about 85 a corner, you can pay more for less.

Nice. The 4.0L isn't as desirable and they're going very cheap for what they are. 900 notes is a no-brainer.

The difference in power, for the little 6 and a big chunk of change extra, I see nothing wrong with the 4. Although the wife still wishes she had the 4.6 :/ Can't let hers be too good though, or it'll be too much better than mine.
