I agree. Not big, not clever and can be bloody expensive! In his case it's more a case of standard low gearing. I watched his Santa Pod video and he complained about running out of revs down the strip. In a more recent video he's got another gear set. Personally i've always found out where peak...

If you check out his channel on youtube he's taken it to Santa Pod! I don't know whether it's a standard tune or he's messed with it. Then again, depending on which car it was taken from, it could be from 181 to 282 bhp. 295 to 428 lb/ft! His second run was in the 17s...

Well, it took me just over three years and i got my 101! When i got there buying guides went out of the window! He started it up with a bodged exhaust that sounded OH SO GOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!! We hopped in, after a couple of times around the field scaring the sheep he asked if i wanted to drive it...

I'm not sure my sphincter could take this sort of thing... :eek:

Just received an email from the Billing gang wishing me a merry Christmas so in response i spent £148 and ordered three tours on the off road courses. Riverside on Friday and then the Lakeside course on Saturday and Sunday plus camping for Friday and Saturday. This'll be my first time going off...

Fitted a new aluminium brake reservoir and choke cable to the 101. Fitting the choke cable would have been SO MUCH EASIER if i could have been in two places at once. As i wasn't it was a bit of a pain. On a positive note, i began the exercise with a 20mm open ended/ring combination spanner but...

Errrrrr, are you sure your barrel hasn't fallen out? :D

I attached a pic of the lock, then paused thinking, 'oh, i bet Julian is talking about the key'. So at 00:45 i popped down stairs and searched for the bag of three blank keys i bought about three weeks ago with the intention of trying to follow some instructions of how to mark and cut your own...

When i worked on the farm in the early 80s, i drove a Morris Marina 1.3 coupe (my first car), Phil drove a Marina 1.8 TC saloon, Colin and Tozzer both drove Allegros. Colin's door key opened mine, Phil's ignition key started mine and i think Tozzer's door key opened Colin's. We didn't think to...

Get a copy of their back door lock key cut and send it to me please? Martin from Able tells me that they are all the same and i don't have a key for mine. Martin didn't believe the chap who told him until he walked over and locked and unlocked Martin's back door.

I think i'll pass, even though i do have a set of tyre levers...

That's how a mate does his on his Series 2.

Well i can't help thinking you didn't try hard enough. I picked up my five new tyres from Demon Tweeks in a 3 series BMW. At least THREE were IN... The dent just pushed out which was fortunate as i really couldn't work out how to keep the goldfish in my new mobile goldfish bowl 😁 I boght a set...

I think me and mates have attended every one, assuming it started about five years ago and every time it's been dry. Except for the last time i went in the D2 without locking centre diff. I never got stuck or even close to it in my old 300TDi. At the start i mentioned no locking diff to the...

You're not wrong about the step. It's bloody heavy! I would have thought being a left hooker from a 101's driving position would have been alright. I think i'll keep mine standard for the time being. Given it's still got the original engine i think i'll be restricting it's use to maybe once a...

I met a mate there. Me in my BMW him in his Astra. Both have Landys, both currently off the road. I was particularly miffed as mine is a 101 that i've had for about a month and Sunday was it's 46th birthday. If i'd got the brakes all sorted i was in two minds whether to go on the course or not...

It's only a one day event, on a Sunday, so yes... ;)

Judging by your pics it wasn't as muddy as i thought it would be given the recent rain.

I'm not happy to say mine auto renewed this year! I miss the endless attempts i made last year to renew my membership and the endless paypal screen of 'something went wrong, please try again later'. I didn't notice this year. I only saw i'd renewed when i looked at paypal for something else and...

Ah, but you forget, in Land Rover's eyes, you wouldn't need access because nothing would ever need accessing... ;)
