    L322 Road tax Proposed

    I don't know what either rate is. Haven't claimed the former for many years and i'm paid well above minimum wage. Just repeated what i read. edit Could it be including other benefits you can get if long term sick? They didn't mean being off work for a week or two...

    Fuel capacity in a 101 ambi

    Thanks. I'm still undecided... I've got an overdrive to fit. I'm hoping the fifth gear will take consumption down to around 28 mpg ;)

    And there in lies the problem. It's used for sickness benefits. I read yesterday, or the day before that there are nearly 3 million on the sick. Sick pay is too generous and over a year it's £3000 MORE than the minimum wage leading to people deciding to 'go on the sick' instead of work...

    Given the number of stop and seizure electric bike owners are getting, i think it's time to ban them not register them. I get the impression that the majority of them are all vastly overpowered than is legal. The number of youtubers showing you how to get your normal pushbike to do 60mph+ by...

    Tax + MOT exemption... I'm confused!

    Same here, left Lode Lane 1977, arrived Ashurch, sat around for five years. Went orf to transition into an amulance in 1982. My V5 thinks that was when it was born. Fortunately Gaydon knows better!

    And a Happy New Year to you. When tracing the service record of my 101 i went to Merlin first and got pretty much everything that was available. BUT, given that it went to Ashurch storage in 1977 and only started it's service life as an ambulance in 1982, i couldn't believe it just sat there for...

    Kwik Fit say no-no to MoTs on classic?

    I don't have a good word to say about thick fit! The first time i used them was to get some regrrovale tyre regrroved for my S2. I asked one lad who said he'd have to ask[insert name here]. He was up in the air on the ramp and matey boy shouted up to him to ask if they recut Land Rover tyres...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    I had to relocate the fuel pump earth connection on the 101 yesterday. It conked out giving me the chance to walk five miles home(it was shorter in my head...) to grab the BM and tools(that i'd recently removed from the 101) and go back to fix it. It was odd. The screw was tight but hadn't...

    I plan to drive to Spain in 2026 for the solar eclipse. I was leaning towards fitting LPG to mine to retain the V8, but now i'm thinking more along the lines of changing to diesel. Maybe a 300TDi on an R380. Or possibly a TD5. At least they are both Land Rover lumps. Did you have 'fun' with the...

    Tax Exempt, modifications question

    OK. i'll try to make you see sense ONCE MORE! You start off with a Series 88 inch on leaf springs. What i see WITH MY OWN EYES at MANY shows is the same 88inch with free tax with it's original registration number sat on a chassis designed for coil springs, with coil springs, with coil spring...
