Ha ha, that's a bit defeatest... The furthest i've been so far is Stoneleigh the other weekend. I practiced not braking down the week before by going to see a mate in Malvern. Driving both ways was about the same as one way to Stoneleigh. If i start to venture anywhere farther afield i might...

To be fair i'm hoping mine will eventually hit double digits as i think the mixture is too rich and hopefully the timing is out too!

Don't know the capacity, and my needle was swinging between a 1/4 and just above empty so decided now was the time to fill up and i brimmed it! This is the second time to get a true mpg. If you are of a nervous disposition, DON'T LOOK! I did, but i'm in denial. And the lady in the kiosk too the...

IF you swap your chassis, engine and gearbox, both axles and steering from another vehicle onto your 'free tax' vehicle and then do not inform DVLA, then yes mate, IT IS ILLEGAL! On two counts. 1. In the eyes of DVLA it is no longer the vehicle as registered which will then be given a Q...

I assumed he referred to the newer 2.2 as opposed to the old 2225...

There are only two ways of modifiying a vehicle: Legally, and illegally. I was being specific. Describing Series Land Rovers that are described as being tax and MOT free yet having the bottom half of a different vehicle under the body. Nobody has mentioned converting to independant suspension...

I didn't know that. I've got 99% of a set for my 101. Just missing one wheel stud and spacers for it. Apparantly the standard 101 wheels will clear the calipers with a narrow spacer. Has anybody tried a set of Disco 1 steel wheels? If they clear the calipers they'd be cheap. Same pcd as Series.

Can you argue the v8 is environmental better? As the 2.2 is so hideously uneconomical. No, i don't think you can. The 2.2 will be cleaner and conforming to more modern specs than the old V8, and if you think the 2.2 is 'hideously uneconomical' how would you describe the V8????????????

Simple, they don't tell anybody! You often see a Series vehicle with it's original reg number yet the body is sat on a modified Range Rover chassis using coil spring axles, Rangie engine and box. Not only should it lose it's classic tax status it should probably be on a Q plate. The annoying...

Yes there are some purists who complian if you've changed a rivet. Personally i wouldn't worry too much if it has a non LR engine fitted IF, the conversion works well. I'm currently going through this dilemma myself. What to do with my 101? Keep the original V8 or replace it with something...

If you google "salisbury diff casing spreader" and look at the pictures in the results, there are several home made spreaders you could copy if you are practical minded.

A small (2 berth?) caravan cover?

How much do you want to pay for a disc set up? I believe the Zeus set is all bolt on. https://www.zeus.uk.com/product-category/land-rover/braking/

Have you had a look at how that fuel system works in a Daihatsu?

Over here(Blighty) we have tarmac, and with bargrips + tarmac + rain i find my buttocks are often so clenched they cramp! I think they get their name from doing everything on road bar grip!

Oh? Looks like a Mondeo in drag to me 😁

As Wolf Pack suggested, if Merlin has nothing the only other place to check with is RLC. https://www.rlcarchive.org/VehicleSrch2?fbclid=IwAR2gtKZX4NhxzI0_0qIB2W9wx_Mu0x7iHUi24FzXrGQiJq-l6qJlY8vBnL0 I only got a couple of dates for places my 101 had been to in addition to what Merlin had on it...

Nice, i nearly bought one of those, but ive only ever owned one Jag, a 1966 S-Type 3.8 but i think i'd prefer my Disco 1 ES with everything on it to your X-Type. It's the most comfortable long distance car i've ever driven. Plus you could go mad off road in it and i spent an hour opening up...

Farm implement????????? You do know there is such a thing as TOO MUCH comfort! ;)

No acolol involved. Just having a shufty online when i should have been going to bed. The alarm went off at ten to four this morning, a bit earlier than normal to give me some potential 'break down' time as i was taking the 101 into work today. Last time(first) it broke down four times on the...
