    WANTED: Early RRC grille and headlamp surrounds

    Converting a late grille to an early grille, and need all the parts. I'm fine with international shipping costs. They have to be in good shape, but definitely not perfect. Thanks in advance,

    plugs and leads

    I spent a lot of years tuning and dyno testing engines for a living, and testing everything under the sun, and I have never seen, nor heard of, any dyno test that demonstrated ANY aftermarket plug lead producing any measurable gain in power or torque over a properly functioning OEM wire...

    Hello from Spain

    Hahahaha! Indeed you will. And you'll recognize me. I obviously look and act EXACTLY like Sheriff J.W. Pepper from "The Man With The Golden Gun." I'm American, after all. We all do.

    Hello from Spain

    Well, as I said. Some people find Americans boorish, uneducated slobs. Some people find the English tattooed, drunken pigs. Some people find Germans this, or the Dutch that. Making such sweeping indictments of a nation's inhabitants usually says more about the person making them than it does...

    That's still my all time favorite body style for a Land Rover, and it makes me miss my old 2003 more than I can tell you. This is a GORGEOUS truck.

    Hello from Spain

    I bought a little villa here near the beach last year. I certainly can't speak to what it was like in the 1980's or 1990's, but the process now is quite easy. Granted, you get a lawyer to look into everything, but you do that in the USA too, and for exactly the same reasons. I had no trouble...

    Ah. So remove it, strip it, paint it and reinstall, it? Looks like sI have some elbow grease ahead of me. Hahaha! Thanks for the info!

    Hi, New Freelander Sport Owner

    Hello and welcome! I have a Freelander S Tdi. I didn't go looking for it, it just kinda fell into my lap, but it has been a tank, really. Extremely efficient and reliable as a road vehicle. I hope you enjoy yours!

    Surging and bucking at light throttle

    Yeah, and thank you. That sorta jibes with my impression of the issue. It just sorta feels like fuel to me. Also, I drove it more tonight and I notice that the surge is ALWAYS there at light throttle. Even at speed. But in higher gears and at higher speed, it's simply less noticeable...

    Surging and bucking at light throttle

    My "new" Range Rover surges and bucks at light throttle and low load, like when I'm trundling through traffic or a parking lot. Vehicle is a 3.5L injected petrol engine with a 5-speed manual. It feels like a fuel surge to me. Injection issue, maybe? Plugs and wires are pretty new. At...

    Morocco Easter time 2015

    Ah, great, thank you! Yes, yes, I'll be prepared. But setting a truck up for sand is very different, and this helps me plan, thank you!!

    Backdating the look of a 1989 2-door

    Well, those are good points, but I typically buy vehicles for myself, not for appreciation, and if I change them and ultimately sell them on, I just resign myself to finding the one other guy on the planet who appreciates what I have done. Hahahaha! It doesn't always pan out, buy hey, I'm okay...

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    Yeah, I was telling my wife the other day what a great vehicle it is for kids, because seven and five year old boys get so excited about driving in the dirt. She stared at me for a few seconds and replied: "Well, so do YOU." And she's right, of course. The one thing about having two young...

    Morocco Easter time 2015

    I'm a new member and just found this thread. What a cool trip, and what wonderful photographs! I have entered the December 2015 running of the "Maroc Challenge" (www.marocchallenge.es) and and starting to prepare my two door RRC for the event. I'm curious about the terrain. Obviously the...

    What did you do with your Range Rover today

    Today I just made a bunch of promises to my young boys: DIEGO: "Can we drive up the side of a MOUNTAIN?!" ME: "Uhhh... sure." MATEO: "Can this car go in the MUD?!" ME: "You bet it can!" Pretty soon I'm going to have to take them out and start delivering on these promises...

    Oh, very cool. I'm fine with paying shipping, and appreciate your help! I went and looked at the C-pillar more closely last night. It looks like it is covered in a black, textured plastic cover. If I remove that cover, will the actual C-pillar need to be built up again before it can be...

    Hello from Spain

    Hahaha! Indeed. This is my philosophy, and it has always done me in good stead. I look forward to posting more photos of the Range Rover after I get the bodywork and paint done, and I find myself already promising the boys everything under the sun. "Can we drive up the side of that...

    Hello from Spain

    Oh, that's a shame. I have only been here a year, but I haven't found that to be the case at all. Quite the opposite, actually. I travel around the country by myself a lot, and my Spanish is still very iffy, but I have had nothing but good experiences. I suppose things can happen anywhere...
