    Hello from Bergen, Norway!

    RHD is the "correct" side for a British car, in my opinion. ;) However, I might be outnumbered amongst my fellow Norwegians. ;)

    Hello from Bergen, Norway!

    Haha, I know. Managed to drive my MGF for Almost a WEEK! Before it suffered from a HGF.. ;) Having owned a rover 400, 75, F and now a Freelander, I know the enemy.. ;) (I do drive around with a wifi OBD2 interface in the diag. port on the FL, constantly monitoring the coolant temp on my...

    Hello from Bergen, Norway!

    Norwegian government took care of that ages ago, with import taxes, Norwegian VAT and all the extra costs of having a car over here. Road tax alone on my 3 cars are £1K a year.. :S AND it's the LHD/RHD thing.. ;) Personally I have no problems driving on the other side of the road, drove in the...

    Hello from Bergen, Norway!

    Cheers mate. :) If you keep getting flak from everyone, why not put a sticker on it to just scream to the world: "Yes I know It's a ****ty car, but I do love it anyway" ;) Perhaps make a fellow motorist smile one my journey to work. (I really do hope I don't have a brakedown, with that sticker...

    Hello from Bergen, Norway!

    Thank you again peaople!:) Don't know why I'm attracted to these cars, perhaps it's the community? The cheap parts and helpfull fellow owners? :) I really envy the prices of parts and cars over in the UK, a second hand FL1 98-02 is still at least £4k over here. Busted ones, HGF etc. is £1,5-2. :(

    Excellent news! Thanks for the reply. Did you loosen some of the bolts securing the bumper first?

    Change headlight with bumper in place.

    Hello all. As one of my headlights, Left/NS,seem to give the same amount of LUX as a candle light (see picture below), and the Norwegian MOT is coming up, I will change it. However, according to this thread, it's possible to change it WITH the bumper in place, could anyone else confirm? It...

    Just highlight the text you want your link to be, and use the little "Globe/paperclip" button, paste your link there and voila. Like this. Preview your post to make sure it works. :) On another note, I bought one of these a few months back, works well with a laptop or iPhone. If you have...

    yet another tailgate thread, did the usuall checks

    Hello again. Good news, it's easy to remove the handlebar without removing the window. Bad news, the bolts where in a very bad condition, rusty and old, so I ended up damaging one, one was completly stuck and broke of, see picture, and one acctually went of easy. Lots of rust behind the...

    Thank you, that would be just great. Just bought a kit, hopefully I'll have it sorted soon. Is it window out (again) or it it possible to get to them without removing it?

    Cheers, plastic seems alright, I'm thinking about buying one of these sets. Do you happen to have a picture of where the microswitch is placed? I've searched without finding a picture. Is it in the lock mech? Morten
