Thanks guys, must admit I didn't do that but mostly as it was a really hot day. Still haven't decided whether to chance a pattern seal or cough up for a genuine one..

Thanks vee, doing the job with the old seal was a sinch before but the bearmach one was just too tight. I did it right with absolutely tons of soapy and good cord to pull it in but it was so tight that the groove that holds the screen in actually ripped at the bottom, The heated elements on the...

Just wondering if anyone has had recent experience with fitting aftermarket windscreen seals and how they fared? I've had my screen in and out a couple of times no probs in the past but had to replace the screen and seal recently resulting in a bearmach seal that refused to go in and a broken...

It's not a job you will want to do twice.. Buy a good quality or genuine joint either easy fitted to a fulcrum or take it to an engineering place, I had mine pressed out and new in for a tenner and it's way worth getting it done for you! I wouldn't use poly bushes ever again, I've had ****part...

thanks James, no there are no other solenoids to be seen anywhere, so am i correct in assuming the odd solenoid is on the t/c lock up valve? seems strange why someone would go to the trouble of welding it on there? The engine that came from the same car was well sorted with lairy cams and big...

Ok bit of a long story but i changed the auto box and transfer box in my lse last year for supposed low mile bits from another hard dash lse same as mine. I had forgotten until today but when fitting the 'new' bits the wiring loom to the autobox was different and did not have the same engine bay...

Total current draw with car all locked up and nothing on is 110 milliamps, of that the interior light/cig lighter fuse seems to be drawing 30 milliamps with nothing other that the clock running as far as i can tell, the lpg system seems to be drawing 40 milliamps while car asleep. I haven't...

Thanks for the replies so far chaps, i wish i knew where all me milliamps were going an all :o did checks by pulling all fuses from main fusebox on dash one at a time with doors shut and bonnet switch wedged in, still had 60-70 milliamp drain i couldn't find... guess i need to check all the...

Read the whole thread with interest as i've been suffering with battery drain in my classic lse for the last 4 years... ever since i've had the car with brand new battery fitted the battery would only last less than 2 weeks without use, now the battery is old and knackered i'm only getting a few...

I am looking for a dog guard if you still have it? whereabouts in the world are you?

I'm definately up for this one an all but is there a limit on numbers? do i go list or reserve list chaps? :o

think landranger 184 covers at least part of it but it didn't stop me gettin very confused last time i went on me own...:o

Thankyou kindly 110 woman but i'll pass on the cake

Damn it, wrong button... :o i continue ... Not sure who deleted me from the food list Zan so if you haven't allowed for me don't worry as my son will probably prefer to eat crisps all day and doesn't even like cake! and the enigma that is mrs rusty is not sure if she's coming or not yet so i'll...

Not sure who deleted me from the food list

I hope we'll be doing some driving as well as eating stew and watching cake scoffin :p

I might come down, been meaning to do broxhead for ages but never been

No i'm afraid it's probably fooked, your best course of action would be to sell it to me for scrap value :p have you checked the afm is working fine? they can get damaged with backfires. other than that not too sure, running with a low lpg level shouldn't damage much unless it was running so...

personally i prefer the feel of an original steel one, the ally ones i have come across while looking fine and never rusting just feel a bit lightweight and flimsy
