    Bulgaria - Off Roading Paradise!

    . I have been looking at buying a house and land in Bulgaria for a few years now. What makes it more interesting now is, the prospective house owner doesn't need to form a company, ie, the company would own the house. From about 2 months ago, Johnny Foreigner can buy and have it in his name now...

    stuck in the mud.....

    . . Hi Buxtonous, To be honest, the LR doesn't look that stuck, and I am surprised a 12k lbs winch couldn't pull you out, even at a strait line pull. Sure, the mud sucks you on, but, it's not that bad, really. I would tend to think the winch isn't working properly, perhaps for a combination of...

    All terrain tyres?!

    Hi, You can run with Maxxis, or with Cooper ST Maxx, or you can just fit the BFG AT and be done with it. Wait the 8 weeks if you can, then fit the BFG All Terrains. Sure they may cost a "pretty penny" but you will be a long time trying to wear them out. As a note, I have a set of Cooper SST...

    morocco christmas/new year

    . Hi GD, Are you thinking about a replacement g'box, or what? I guess it was just "unlucky" for his g'box to let go just like it did with no warning. Hopefully, you would hear, or feel some thing not quite right, and catch it before it grenades itself. Is your current g'box worrying you? What...

    morocco christmas/new year

    Glad it had a happy ending. Were Ashcroft's surprised at the bearing failure on one of their g'boxes? Any way, seems like they were "gent's" about the whole affair. Still, 3 years isn't long, esp. if you have changed the oil every 10k. How does the new g'box feel and hear compared to the old...

    Security ideas ?

    . . I see it that you need to do 4 things. 1/ Stop then getting at the LR. 2/ Stop them getting in the LR 3/ Stop them using any controls, ie, steering wheel/brake/clutch 4/ Stop them moving it. 1/ In a secure compound or garage 2/ Double up on door locks, (dead bolt Yale locks ?) secure the...

    Mounting a roof tent on a Range Rover Classic?

    Hi Mike, Getting the RT on the roof bars is not too bad. You and your Bro. should manage no problem, providing your not "shorties" One of you each side, pust the RT high above your heads. Slowly walk down either side of the RRC. It does get heavy, thats for sure ! I had the Hanibal style...

    Mounting a roof tent on a Range Rover Classic?

    Hi Mike, As good as it sounds, 3 roof bars really doesn't work most of the time. The roof, or the gutter support is not flat. What I am trying to explain is, if you have 3 roof bars, then there is every chance the roof tent will balance on just 2 of teh bars. leaving one of the bars with a gap...

    Best way to get to Morocco?

    Hi Mike, I still think it's cheaper and quicker to Dover ---> Calais Then hit the free A75 almost all the way to Spain / France border. via Millau is only 750 miles toll free, and fast. Then another 800 miles to Algeciras via Madrid, toll free almost all the way. I guess at 20 mpg, or is 20...

    Hi, Is the TD5 being unfairly treated being compared to the Tdi300? Is the 300Tdi that much of an "all round" better engine of the to? What is the day to day economy differences of both these engines? Thanks, Gra.
