    V6 Auot FWD conversion.

    thats a hell of a lot of work and i doubt many would bother for a v6 f.l 1. would prob have been easier to just buy a 1.8 non runner and do the head on that and turn it into a mondo. the rover parts as you prob already know from working on them arnt much better made than the landrover stuff. i...

    Central (un) locking not working properly.

    yup will do. im thinking of going the mdf route as i used to fit them in a lot of hatchbacks for speaker upgrades and mdf doesnt flex or vibrate. think i will have to get some cardboard in there and make up a template first then cut the mdf and drop it in then just cover with material. will give...

    4wd does not seem to work

    i understand the probs with libel but with clever use of writing in the post could solve this. like the press do when the ask whether the service recieved is their normal practice or if this bad case was a one off. therefore not accusing just asking a question but letting other members know of...
