Hi Roy, Thanks for the information. I decided not to wait, and ripped the damn thing out, I had done it a month or two back and it should be a lot quicker this time. Sure enough I got the unit out, connected a battery up, turned the ignition in and measure down at the centre pin (white/green)...

40 miles ago I fitted a replacement alternator, the RollCom ALT336 from Advanced Factors. After a bitch of a job I got her in and all was fine for 40 miles, now the charging (battery) light does not go out. Its on all the time when the ignition is on. Sure enough without the battery connected...

OK sounds a good target. House runs around 50-60%. Just need to save up for one now.

Jezz, I'll never get away with that, even the dog won't stop with me in the garage. I'll mention it to her though...…….

I guess a question we need to understand is what is an acceptable humidity level for a workshop/garage containing vehicles and tools? Too high, bare metal rusts, too low and certain materials (such as leather) dry out and decompose. I think 60% would be a figure to aim for, but what do I know?

Yes I appreciate that. I will have to look for a second hand one then.....

Thanks Boguing for the info, Yes Meaco do seems to be well regarded and get good reviews at the dealers. A desiccant version works well at the lower garage temperatures we experience in this country and it also puts out an element of warm air raising the garage temperature a bit so I am told...

Blimey KevStar I could by another Land Rover for that money! How about this one: https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/dd8l-zambezi/meaco-dd8lzambezi-dehumidifier

Haven't got a clue what to go for. Need recommendations please

I am considering fitting an automatic dehumidifier to my 63 square meter garage/workshop and wondered if any one out there had any experience or recommendations. The building is a new build with double glazed windows, three Horman insulated roller shutter doors and a Horman insulated side door...

Yep, that's the one but it can be purchased for £20 including postage. I'll go for that one I think. Thanks for your help DD69 Steve

Excellent. The Professional Blue Brush is WS.PROWBMED. Looks like you can get it much cheaper on Amazon too Martin Cox does an even stronger one: The Professional Green Brush" is WS.PROWBLG, available through Amazon at the same price. May be a no brainer?

That's excellent info DD69, I had in fact found that advert, Googling "Professional Wash Brush" and read all the 63 customer reviews. Had it stored in my favourites. Can I ask you how the brush affixes to the pole, is it for instance a brass fitting and how the hose pushes fits to the pole too...

I have used car wash brushes on a 4 foot aluminium pole to clean all my cars, they seem the best solution for the demands my filthy LR and other family motors make on me. However of late I have found it very hard to find a poled car wash brush that lasts more than a couple of washes. Usually...

Mmmmm interesting. The TR8 was never sold in Europe. A few in the UK, but none in mainland Europe and certainly not France. Therefore an imported LHD TR8 from the US may well be deemed the correct "type" for France (certainly it is not modified) and as such be relatively straight forward to...

The original TR8 was more or less only sold in the USA in soft top guise, as only 63 hard top and 18 convertibles out of the total of 2509 TR8s were ever released into the UK. Regarding your comments on the Dolomite 4 cylinder engine, then here are many TR7V8 conversions around which are...

Buy a LHD US rag top from California. There are loads over there, they'll be rust free and as a bonus it'll have fuel injection on the 4 cylinder engine too. The best is the Spyder, a limited edition soft top in black with pewter interior. Rare and an appreciating classic too

Go on buy it. S+S are an excellent company and it seems to have all the bits, it'll be fast, reasonably reliable, comfortable, will drive well and her in doors will like the heater and cosseted comfort when the hoods up. Just think of the posing points too and for under 5 grand too

The back ends a bit whacky. Has presence though (bit like a Defender maybe)
