For the jobs on a Landy you (ideally) should need three overlapping torque wrenches. Torque wrenches are only really accurate in the middle third of their range but if you are not daft many torque jobs can be sorted by 'feel' and an understanding of what the bolt, nut, fastener is there to do...

The theme tune to Steptoe and Son is most appropriate:D

Both front windows failed and dropped into the doors and they look awful. It was my wife's, not mine!

Mantec! Around £80 and if you need someone else to fit it you shouldn't have a Land Rover. Alternatively I can fit them for you for £1,000 a piece (Mileage and hotels extra):D

High mileage is good? It indicates a vehicle that has been reliable. High mileage coupled with frequent maintenance is a real bonus.:)

Have a look at Richmond shot blasting (or Rock-Sliders on this forum) for your sliders. I put a series of photos on a post (and my albums) of the fittment. They are well made, solid and good value :)

Yes they are remoulds but that doesn't bother me one bit! We fit re-tread/re-mould tyres to aeroplanes that are speed rated to well in excess of 200MPH. I might have a Td5 but it don't go that quick! Not far off mind you:D

Oh! F**king nightmare! Just spent 2 hours doing 4 miles between Luton airport and the M1 so my new wheel is not with me. I fu**ing hate living near London and despite coughing up the cash my spare wheel is four miles (and ****ing light years) away. I need to move to Scotland. If they'll have me!

I did what I do every weekday in mine. I drove it to work with a big grin on my face. Ok. So it mists up, is loud, cold, not very comfortable and only does 31 to the gallon but I'm a bit simple so I drive to work with a smile:p

Just had a call from Bill at Autoland as well! My steel modular has arrived:D

It slung it down last Sunday and they were absolutely fine. I took it to Manchester (From Luton) in the rain and they behaved. They also self clean when used in mud (I do every weekend) but I haven't tried real clay soil yet. I've been that impressed that I've sold my alloys with A/Ts on and...

Just picked up a new spare tyre. An Insa Turbo Dakar Mud (235/70/R16) from Paddocks. Ordered Monday, delivered Tuesday all for £73 all in including VAT and delivery. Just waiting for Bill at Autoland to get me a steel modular to put it on. I've been driving around without a spare for too long:(

Just fitted a snorkel to my Td5 90 (and I did it properly!) check my posts for photos and details. I have also fitted a wading kit so the axles and gear boxes all vent into the top of my snorkel (see my other posts in "Woo hoo, my wading kit's arrived") but don't buy anything until you have...

I'm looking for spot lights but I don't have any spots! It's my f**king money after all! :D

I bought an old style klaxon off eBay and it scares cattle! It is loud and only cost a tenner. I left the old one in situ (Behind the n/s headlight shroud) and installed the new one behind the louvred slots in the o/s headlight shroud. Leaving the old one in it's place meant a new switch, relay...

Ordered one from Paddocks for £73! There are loads of wheels n' tyres available but as I only want a tyre I've had to bite the bullet!

one:pound:

I had Pirelli scorpions on my disco and they were grippy but wore out quicker than any tyre (Sorry buddy, 'Tire') than I have ever had.

Wanted - A single 235/70/R16 Insa Turbo Dakar Mud tyre to put on my spare wheel. Doesn't have to be new but must be road legal please. ;)

I'm fairly sure my old CSW 110 had roll bars that made it roll! It cornered like a boat only much slower! If it had been a truck cab instead of a CSW I could have had my kids sitting on the gunwales like they do on Americas cup yachts!!:D
