any pics... inside and out?

didn't think the BMW engine had an EGR to blank off.... if so - where is it? (piccy?)

sorry. its the rubber prop coupling. I've done a lot of reading about what the VC does and how it works. And to be honest, the more I read the more paranoid I get! lol Most people have a jerky full lock turn as the centre diff is locked (VC). This has also been described from some as...

I guess that's something else on the check list then. I do get a vibration at really slow revs (just above idle) up to about 900rpm.... but no issue on full lock like the normal VC failure explanations and the props don't have any slack and UJ is new. The rubber plate has a very small...

Latest update from the garage is that the front diff has gone. Bearings collapsed so this may have been the cause of the org knocking / jolt on the change down. My worry is that something caused the diff to fail (other than it just failing of course). Surly the rear diff would have taken the...

I think I've resided myself to a project in working over a period of time whilst I learn the trade so to speak. The car it pritty std at the moment. The ECU has been remapped, full service inc Glow plugs, Fuel filter, Oil change with filter, Air Cleaner and Pollen filters. The engine is sweet...

Winch setup wanted... without the wraparounds....

Roof rack ideas... Big price tag though, and it looks a little long on the back (or is it just me). I'm starting to think of just working a floor into the current Roof bars and uprating them to carry the weight I'm after (roof tent with people in it).

Rock slide example of what I'm after (without the price tag).

Example of the snorkel fit I am after for the p38.

Lecturing :confused: I did think of taking the time of explaining how I wasn't lecturing at or about you... but then again. If you can't see that I was indirectly supporting your previous views of people being given jobs.... then with the greatest of respect I'd just be wasting my time.

I'd want a refund plus costs.... a full refund just lets him off the hook. He hasn't lost anything he had before the sale and therefore hasn't learnt anything. The trader needs to refund the car plus pay all costs to settle this. Lets face it. The use of the small claims court is just another...

I wonder how a hand warmer would do wrapped around the handle. Would that warm the bugger up you think?

Claw... result mate. Well done. Sean... You've just hit a nerve now mate so I'll step up on my soap box; you can thank all this political correctness and EU laws for the current bull job situation. Previous years would see employers being allowed to actually say who and what they wanted. Now...

Thought I'd put some ideas out there and see if anyone has any pics of similar mods done etc so I can learn how to do what I'm wanting to. I know some will think pointless and over the top, but I want to sort the vehicle out so I can go anywhere and do anything with it, without having the all...

Looks good... I was thinking of a simular solution as I have mud tyres on and the spare is a v.tight fit (when deflated) in the pare wheel well so wanted to have it pumped up ready to go. Due to having two dogs... i didn't fancy them bouncing around so high up.... so I was thinking of fitting...

I understand that you can do yes... but no idea how you get it from the calogas canister to your lpg tank at home. Legally you'd have to decalre use and pay the IR for the road use duty:D

Don't get so touchy :boxing:... with regards swapping a classic for a p38 some would argue that it was a backward move. I don't know if it is or isn't as I am guilty of the same thing myself. The classic has something about it that still pulls me to them, but the P38 is just so much more comfy...

Sarstad... dunno if any of the components would be the same between a p38 and ranger... but something to think of I guess.... Vehicle is back in garage now anyway as per update on post #19 via the AA. :(

I'm with the AA and on both occasions I have needed a recovery (most recently today!) I have had no problems with them. As soon as you say 4x4 and Auto - you'r looking at a flat bed. More important I think is where you request it to be transported to... pick your garage and get the car taken...
