Hmm....perhaps next time we will take out cover :-D

Hi all. Thanks for all your help. From that we did indeed get into contact with a local landie chap, Drew who was very helpful and hospitable as were his family. We were not able to diagnose fault fully with the time given but recognised as we suspected needs to be stripped down and looked at...

Thank you all for your helpful responses. We're now trying some of your suggestions, sending PMs etc. Now in Angouleme, having limped there at 20mph if that. Looks like nothing will be open today.

We are currently near Ruffec, 60 miles south of Poitiers in France, on our way travelling to Spain to then head into Morocco. However, we seem to have a major engine problem as we have a great lack of power and nasty knocking noise. This came on very sudden after oil warning light coming on...

Wahey set off tomorrow :D For those that are interested you can track us live at www.rustyrhinos.com

Hehe. Eventually we will make it so deep water isn't a problem with this V8 like our other V8 RRC - i.e relocate electrical things, waterproof cases with breathers and that type of fun stuff :D

Yeah I know - I do get most places with it. To be honest I wanted another toy to replace the SJ. The whole idea of the SJ in the first place was to have a vehicle to mainly have for laning and a bit of fun in addition to the Series. When I gave up on the SJ and broke it up I had the option of 1)...

Oh, got another addition to the fleet! Got my own RRC :D Plans are to build it up for mild laning so I can keep up with you guys :p - so +2" springs and shocks, +2" body lift, drop turretts, adjusted castor/radius arms, dislocation cones, snorkel, electric fan and eventually I would like some...

Good luck :D

If this has been boring people then I apologise...but in the past few days we have had a massive amount of support for fundraising. We have now passed our £1000 target for the Mercy Corps :D :D Of course the more the merrier for the charity and donations can still be made from our website or...

They look pretty :D I use the cheapest plastic box I can find. Or banana boxes :D

Thanks :)

Rusty Rhinos are coming - should be Red the 63 S2A, E66 the RRC and the home-brewed trailer all coming over :D

Only a small update again...but painted the top of it :D

Thank you for the mental support...it really does play a big part! And Goldilocks...we have been racking our brains, searching on Facebook and calling friends to see if they know who this random person was that donated to the charity. Now the mystery is solved. And thanks :D Just over £700...

Well...the response to our fundraising has been greater than anticipated....so we have increased our target to £1000. Wahey! Not long to go now :D

whoops!

50ish is a steady cruising speed for a Series landie? Do I cain mine then? Happily sit at 65 on the motorway if it is level or downhill! 110 miles...as long as the weather does not come inside the car you will be fine :D

When mine was jumping out of 1st and 2nd it was that the gears themselves were worn. 3rd and 4th was a totally different matter!

Hello. I know this is a landie forum but I know there are a few on here with other vehicles so I thought it would be worth a punt. We currently have a few land rovers and to make way for another (another RRC V8) we are stripping down our SJ Current items which have been sold : front winch...
