Hi OK this is a slightly long explanation... Whilst in France I had to drive about 30 miles to the camp site with collapsed wheel bearings (long story - I won't bore you with the details other than to say read the details of your European break down cover if you have a vehicle modified for...

Thats encouraging to know. Does intrigue me though to know what the cause is...

Cheers! I've not been towing anything so I'm hoping this is not the case. Maybe its all the extra weight its carrying around?

Hi After a short trip down the motorway the other day I noticed that my gear change had gone extremely stiff (K reg 200TDI with 5 speed manual LT77 I believe?). No horrid noises or anything like that. Changed gear ok just really stiff. So when I got home I was concerned and decided to check...

Well when I had my Range Rover (about 2 years ago) I was traveling back from Stoke with 2 spare wheels on the roof rack (long story! Bought them to use the rims to replace a couple of mine - so I'd got a spare and to replace one of mine that was buckled!) they had smaller tires than I was...

Hi I did mine a few months back when I did my marathon weld it up month. I still have the psychological scars. Mine was worst even that the pictures above. Both my supports (not the top hat ones!) were totally gone. As was the sides of the shell where they used to be connected. Both my inner...

The series 1 200 had spare wheel carrier nuts that go on the inside (not the flat ones that go on the outside but the domed ones - different from steel wheel nuts as they are flatter and larger diameter). Defenders had the same things (or something very similar!). If you have these or can get...

Yes I guess I should have made it clearer in the guide (now amended) but I did use really large thick washers on the underneath to make sure that in an accident the bolts should not pull through. If you think about it all that holds down the 200 seats is 4 bolts and only 2 of those have...

Here is the guide... 300 seats into 200 series 1 Discovery guide Hope its of use...

Have mounted the switches in the cubby box and all wiring is sorted apart from the in line fuses. The only issue I have is that they must have reversed the polarities on the rear seat recliner motors or something between RRC and Discovery as the switch works backwards on both seats!

All the motors are changed and both seats are now fitted... Have to say for me they are definitely worth the effort. Loads better than the old standard cloth affairs. Have taken pictures and will do a web page with detailed instructions and pictures. Not that there is much to it really... Next...

Got drivers front seat in and have adapted the brackets for the passenger side. I have however dropped a bo**ock! I wired up the switches and nothing happened. I even tried bypassing the switches and nothing. I think the motors have all seized solid. I reckon the seats have been stored in a...

Black is earth... D'oh! how obvious is that! I have now more or less adapted my floor pan to 300TDI spec on the drivers side and am going to bolt in the seat today and check its all working off the switch. Then I will take it out and do all the final assembly and then I can start on the...

Sorry to resurrect this thread... Got my Range Rover Classic switches and looms. IIRC there are 3 wires that you need to connect. IIRC it is 2 live and one earth on each side. Anybody know which wires for each side are the earth's as I've long since given away all my Range Rover Classic manuals.

Just agreeing with you!

just got a set of switches with looms for £40. All tested and working. I bought the floor out of a 300TDI from a scrapyard and am now working out how I can adapt the seat mounting points so I can bolt them into mine. Its quite complicated as the rear beam will have to be chopped about to get it...

Yes it is! I've been trying to get hold of wiring looms for Classic seats for quite a while now. I have various people looking out for them for me.

I don't have Rave and even if it did it would not work on my computer as I only use Linux. Also what is reversed polarity???

To make it possible I guess we really need a pin out diagram for an electric mirror switch. Still bothered about how to make sure the amp draw on the switch does not exceed what it can cope with. This I think might be the complicated bit.

I think the guy who suggested it to me did actually use mirror switches without any problems... but I do see what you are saying...
