Anyone have a spare Gear lever for an 81 4spd 4 door Rangey? Our's just snapped on the otherhalf as she drove into the works car park. It's snapped almost at the bottom.

Also, due to deciding to let this one go....... We also have 6 x NEW Michelin XZL 7.50 x 16 Tyres available. Only looking for what they owe us, which is £120.00 each OVNO. Mal.

Due to changes in forum requirements since I first registered here, I do not have enough post's to qualify for the "For Sale" section yet. So I hope admin does not mind me posting this here. As soon as I have the Turbo changed out on our 200 Tdi 90, it will be available for sale. Under 130k...

Well the "honeymoon" is over with the Rangey, to buy one with no electrical faults was a lucky happenstance, but the other week it threw it's first fault at us. The side lights worked fine, but opting for headlights killed all the lights. So after a few days of awaiting delivery, the headlamp...

Same as on my 2003 130 defender and all Mil spec "Wolf " land rovers. Rapier if standard will have imperial type thread on the studs, so you will have to use the reversable nuts it has to collect it. So with mine having Wolf rims on 235/85/16's fitted with no issues, you should be fine with a...

I had wolf rims on my rapier. and had no issues.

Yep, a "Small Collection" compared to my previous 70's/80's fleet. At one point it was over 30 strong!. Moving house and getting back into Land Rovers again, has helped reduce numbers. Mal.

Pro-tyre have been good on price for General AT's, but for anything else I tend to use Jazz Tyres at Standerwick Market Nr Frome. Besides good prices and great service, he is also happy to fit your own tyres too for a reasonable price. Where other firms on the estate charge a fortune to fit your...

We've added a 1981 Range Rover to the fleet. We had not planned to look for one until after summer as a replacement for the 200 Tdi 90 while it was overhauled etc. However, the 90 decided to suffer turbo seal failure, so we brought forward the purchase. It's not "mint" but it is solid and failry...

Well now our "new to us" Range Rover is on the road, we have sorned and put "lay up" cover on the 90. Time to continue the strip down of the 90's Turbo etc and fit the replacement. Due to a recent Hernia op, I only got as far as removing the associated pipe work, air filter housing and slam...

Well, the new addition is on the road, and she is more than happy with it. It came with numerous used and new spares with it. Not that I've had a chance to go through them all as yet, but apart from some glow plugs, I couldn't see any for the engine. So, if anyone has any leads on suppliers of...

After this mornings school run, I set to and gave it a good external scrub and a quick polish. Got too warm out to do a proper cut back and wax, but it's made a huge improvement.

A Few More pictures of the latest arrival.... These are taken from Original "Car and Classic Ad" from Last year, and from Seller this year. No doubt there will be more as I start the clean up and sorting other odds and sods that want doing. This will likely take a while as I am still on with...
