You would think, wouldnt you. But JLR are still using it all these years later. I guess they have worked out that it will probably get out of the warranty period, then its not thier problem 🤔. We added a bit to our budget when we brought our...

Cubby box is in, tightenedbthe thread rivets a little bit better, now you can lift the car on the box! Looks nice, if you ask me!

Don't give other parts to replace!!!! 😉 Just finished to put the cubby box in, looks good with the matching front seats, well it will once I removed all the bits and pieces on the seats! Not bad for a lunch break. Dashboard removal next, after...

Car refused to crank over the other morning until I did a percussive realignment on the starter motor..... New starter fitted, got to admit I'm impressed at how much a PITA of a job it was. But the new starter is much smaller and the car now...

And never be your own customer!

Never count the expense unless it's a clients😜

Ah, the yet unwritten future! Did I think about that the last days, or rather weeks! Anyway, the plans changed, mainly due to budget and credit card limits. First, things that didn't change: She will be used for a one week trip to Corsica to...

Yesterday i took my 1999 P38 for MOT at 2.45 pm and by 3.30 i drove it out with a pass. Not bad seeing it hasnt been on the road for 5 years but before it went in i had to replace 5 bulbs but that was all today i taxed it.

found a friend a rather nice D1 commercial.. :)

passed its mot today after spending over £1300 quid on repairs, then told i had a advisory on front bottom arm ,play in ball joint ,only been on twelve months.:mad:

Funny thing, those old Land Rovers, aren't they? Just checked the new wiring loom, did a quick comparison against the THREE (!) diagrams in my repair manual, which is so badly printed most of the color codes are unreadable. Need to check against...

The wiring loom and new speedo cable have been delivered today! So guess what I am going to do the next days! With some luck, I might even get her through TÜV / MOT by months end before our summer vacation! Wish me luck!

I use Dunlops on my L322 and haven't had any issues but that said, I didn't have any issues with the old ones... Until I did. Have you looked at Maltings? They have them on their site here...

This is the way!

My local MOT guy will do a dummy MOT test for the standard fee. That way I can fix it before the real test & avoid fails or advisories.

Come on you two, sort this argument out! 😝

Last thing to do before stripping the dashboard: Cubby box. Need to buy a 10mm metal drill for that. But first, a beer!

So, update on the tuning front, preliminary of course: Mocal oil cooler, Mocal thermostat, Goodridge braided hoses -> only need to be delivered and installed (the old one is leaking) Tubular manifolds -> the original ones aren't tight anymore...

Good luck with the air condition! I just used my lunch break to fix the rear bumper cover. The new exhaust gets hot, and it almost melted the olastic cover, enough for it to come loose at the clued / pressed in metal bits that screw on to the...

I proposed that! She's working in another country, infortunately, so I'd have to throw in a plane ticket... I think I'll simply start by removing the dashboard and study how the harness is routed, and take it from there!

Yesterday, I had chat with a collegue of mine about harnesses and how to replace them. She said, easy, if you have the old one, strip everything, see where it is routed, connect as specified. Take pictures and mark connections. Easy for her to...

Don't try and ruin my dreams 😂 I can't see any warning lights that's the way I wan It.

What can I say , they are addictive to drive. Just to rub salt in the wounds , I have no lights on the dashboard. ( And no I haven't removed the bulbs)

Remember the future is not written yet . . . . it's what you make it !!

No choice, without hazard lights, parking lights that always on on the right front and side indicators not worker neither not a chance to pass MOT / TÜV... And given the state of the Harnesses as is, no way to fix it without building basically a...

Nevermind, just got of the phone with Auto Sparks, the RHD harness is overall shorter. So I just ordered the last LHD drive one they had. My credit card hates me, the credit card company loves me.

Follow up question, could someone be so kind and share photo of a RHD dashboard and steering column? Because if washer, indicator, light and so on switches are mirrored as well, a RHD harness won't cut it. Instruments would require some...

For sure, I am really bad at electrical, well, things. I can read parts catalogues so. Hence, while I wait for feed-back from Auto Sparks and some other people doing nuts and bolts restaurations, I dug into my RRC parts catalogue. What I...

Emptied the interior yesterday and today, isolated the transmission tunnel, got the rear carpets in, the transmission tunnel carpet as well. Reinstalled the drawers in the back. Plugged two holes, one in the driver foot well and one in the roof...

Yeah, one thing nobody in their right mibds want's me to do DIY is anything electrical. If you want it to work, not set anything on fire or kill you that is!
