Nah. ... I'm resigned to the fact I'm gonna be wedged under there for the next couple of days off work, cursing n effing everytime I back m head, scrape m knuckles n drop spanners on m head!:rolleyes:

Yep, I do enjoy spannering....most of the time. but this isn't most of the time these past fews days! lol To be honest, I remember feelin the same way just before I set to and replaced the engine a while back...best thing that ever happened in terms of getting rid of that worn out original...

This website seems useful; Labourrates.co.uk and based upon the general service times for doin this I'm guessing about £450 + vat for an indy Hmm, that's about the max I was thinkin to avoid ****ing about with it myself.... Will have a chat with gabby at the local garage tommorrow morning

OK, I've recently bust the auto gearbox in my bobbed Range Rover Classic. Defo the box, transfer box is fine. I've got a replacement autobox to replace it, even fresh ATF to go in....Now, I'm having the attack of the "want to have fun in it but can't be arsed/too lazy fixing it again"...

This is assuming your cricket bat is much older than your Freelander! :rolleyes: Would recommend off milk rubbed on with stale bread on the tyres, a strong solution of used weed n feed on paintwork, and baked bean juice scraped from the inside of the tin on your windows..... That way ya wont...

Before spending any money at all, identify whether you want to go off roading, or green laning. There's a difference

Congratulations!.......Yep, as long as you stay away from deep water, all is fine with V8 power n sound! :) A good service and look see underneath will probably help answer a couple of your own questions. However, yes, replacing bushes makes a world of difference, as does checking...

Yep...what he said! plus, quick question? White walls....where and how d'ya get them done? The missus has an old merc n she's wanted white walls on for ages!

Base idle screw in to lower idle speed, screw out/up to raise idle speed. Has been that way around with all mine. Did ya type that out the right way mate?, as it will stall with screw right in.

On the subject of copies...I bought my winch of fleaby for next t nothing, thought the design looked familiar, but it was only when it came with a photocopied superwinch instruction manual did I realise!!!. I can't beleive it will last as long as a genuine item, but for the price I'm not fussed...

Shall be going down to Silverdale this sunday. Looking forward to gettin stuck in the mud! Anyone else going here? 4x4 & Land Rover Offroad Events, Pay and Play days, Fundays & Expeditions

going to Silverdale instead....and cos fancy a change of scenery too

Hi rich. I had problems with my bobtailed RRC, dizzy internals all siezed up, one bob weight was actually broken. I bought a new powerspark one off the 'bay, and has been fine for several months of mudding so far

re-bushed the trailing arms, then removed the two spares (only ever used for ballast) on the pickup back and replaced with one matching modular steel with same size spare as the ones used!.... so now have two std disco 1 steel rims with mint/unused 215/65r16 Insa Desert track tyres to sell...

Land Rover Zone - joe1972's Album: Off roading - Picture Land Rover Zone - joe1972's Album: Off roading - Picture Land Rover Zone - joe1972's Album: Off roading - Picture a few pictures from yesterday. great fun :)

Aw ****!... thought you'd had ya fill with sorting the stalling / filter thing... Ddint realise it had all gone a bit tits up for ya!.... We went down to the pond watchin a nicely sorted trials special with a megasquirt equiped Landy V8 playing...Then led them down the black routes at bottom...

Cool. Yeah, unless its by the burger van or in the car park, seeing people as you pass by can be tricky...finding places t stop n all. Glad ya had a good day too...

Had a cracking day today. Went straight into a few black routes, got to do some winching and sacrifice yet another door mirror on another tree.... an allround enjoyable day. Mate Rob was in the passenger seat, n was gettin out and taking some photos, so will post up as soon as he sorts them.

Had Simex on mine originally, then replaced them with Insa Turbo Specials...Not much difference off roading to be honest (same tread pattern). Speed rating isn't that great, but wouldnt want to be doing 70 on a motorway with mudders on anyways. go for 'em I say.... plus its stops the fretting...

Looks like you guys had a cracking day out laning. Just hope all the issues none are serious and can get sorted... it happens to us all, even those with freshly serviced Landies will break summat if you're trying hard enough!!! ;-)
