Not sure I'd want to own one out of warranty however............. Oh and not sure even with my degree in man maths how I could...

    2.5 diesel MPG

    Just been down to Devon and back with lanes when I got there, averaged 30 mpg (brim to brim figures 550 miles), 4 up and loaded, 3 bikes on the towball and 2 surfboards on the roof. Better than my LWB vito last year.

    North Devon P38 enclave.

    Just took my truck down to North Devon, Nr. Combe Martin, P38's everywhere ! I guess living in Oxfordshire i'm used to seeing more L322's. Great to see so many, and nearly all moving ! (except the one with 22 inch wheels - serves him right.)

    Air con condenser type

    If both incoming pipes were threaded I could do the lot in copper, but one is an o ring on a captive block which is a bugger, but i will have a look, incoming pipes are on the opposite side on the bottom on the condenser, it is also 200mm shorter. Typical land rover, if it works, change it. If...

    Air con condenser type

    Part No. is indeed JRB 000030 or 000040 with the fans, now now longer available. Bugger. Stupid bloody price if it was ! (£ 1300.00 inc VAT) Staying warm then, unless someone has one at sensible money somewhere.

    Air con condenser type

    It looks like there are actually 3 sizes, Mine has the final version which I cannot find anywhere, doesn't seem common to anything across the rover range. It is only about 360mm high. I anybody knows where I can get one give me a shout. I have taken it off, so I might see if Serck can fix it...
