That’s a possibility. I need to decide whether I want Lanoguard protection or bling BRG underbody.👍🏻

Thanks Andy.

Hi All, was catching up with the ‘What ya done on the FL today’ Fred and came across Nodges’ mention of Bonda primer. I’ve quite a bit of caliper paint in BRG and wondered about using the Bonda and the BRG over it. I was initially thinking of Lanogarding underneath but then remembered the BRG...

Many thanks Andy.

Hi All, My headliner has started to fall. I’ve read a few Fred’s on the subject and just wondered how much material people order for the job. Also, most places seem to offer widths of around 1.5-6 metres wide. I’m assuming this is wide enough with some stretching. Has anyone replaced the fabric...

I’m sure there’s plenty of physics on that topic. Thanks.

Hi, I was thinking(!) the other day regarding the ‘even a difference of 5mm between the front and rear tyre diameters can cause problems’ for the VCU. If as the FL1 manual states for normal driving a tyre pressure of 30psi all round is adhered to, the added weight on the front axle of the...

Treated mine to a cover for the tailgate tyre and a new leather sewn on steering wheel cover. Very posh if I say so myself…..!

Update. Back home, tyres changed, now at least I’ve got 5 matching on board. I managed to offset the cost of them by selling the ‘old’ 5 - the tailgate one was brand new complete with the coloured lines, the rear axles has 6mm on, the fronts about 5. All were dated 2021. As I don’t get any...

Thanks to all for your contributions. Still away in the Highlands so will update more as and when. But it’ll be new tyres all round first then sort out the VCU with Bell Eng. BTW, as it’s quite a trek from near York down to them, is changing it , bearings, diff bearings etc a job for any adept...

Passed the 1000 mile mark in the Scottish Highlands since last Thursday…..Isle of Mull today. Hope the VCU lasts (see ‘Another VCU Fred’).

Hi All, As per my signature below my FL1 has now done 150k, and has no previous service history. While in my ownership I’ve done: Fluid changes - engine oil, gearbox, IRD, in Nov 22. Diff in Feb this year. All filters - oil, pollen, PCV, air, and turbo breather I think it’s called. It’s a...

After having all the front re-bushed with new lower arms, they got Bilt Hambered to within an inch of its life. Unfortunately, one job done, three more show themselves. So it was off with the front bumper and underseal the front cross member. Would’ve been rude not to clean the undertray. Still...

So, update, Had the drop links, ARB bushes, and lower arms + bushes changed. Will it need the tracking done? Thanks to all who contributed. Cheers, M.

Thanks Nodge. While I’m at it I think I’ll do the ARB and replace the lower arms and relevant bushes. It’s gotta get us up the west coast of Scotland in April. It’ll be the longest trip I’ve done in it. Cheers, M.

Update: Andy you were correct, the OS drop link top bush is the culprit. Given that I’ve only done 3.5k miles since purchasing in October 21 would the heavy duty DL’s be worth the extra? Regards, Michael.

Thanks Andy.

Hi All, Over the last couple of months I’ve noticed a knocking noise from ( I think) the NSF area. It sounds like a bush or bushes as it makes its presence known when going over holes/ manhole covers etc. I’m having the diff oil changed next week so while it’s up in the air I’m going have a good...

Cheers Kevm.

:) No problem Col.
