    I would just like to say

    Welcome to C21st Britain. I too hate all this banking sh!t, drives me mad...especially having to remember the thirteen digit Visa debit card online security number. No idea what it is, so just use other cards that ping out six digit security codes to the mobile. All this online bollox +social...

    Who turned out the lights

    @gymmaniac , it's really worth fitting relays to the lighting ccts and it's very easy to do. But do not buy the pre-made Boomslang kits as they're a pile of junk [carp wiring/connectors/quality].

    Who turned out the lights

    This is a simple process of elimination. 1. power o/p from fuses [if not, check feed 12v and fuses] 2. check for power i/p to switches = wiring good 3. isolate lights from switches, check continuity or 12v o/p across switch = switch good 4. re-connect each lighting load and check until there's...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    I'm doing exactly the same today, put on reconditioning charge just after breakfast. Just nipped out to see charge level and a large Rozzermobile 4x4 stopped in the lane. A 6ft brunette female Community Orificer stepped out, walk over and confirmed a neighbour's near new RRS had an attempted...

    Best way to sell ?

    Logically, place an advert here on LZ in the for sale section.

    How would you go about selling?

    Unless you need the money, don't sell it. As per @dag019 above, convert the old bus to the configeration you'd like. With summer rapidly approaching I can recommend a soft top. They're a lot of fun and have highest resale values.

    Heater options

    @Obi_110 , there's a fellow in Scotland who sells new galvanised heater boxes with internal flaps on eBay. They're very good and not expensive. I bought one of these, T-washed, primed and underhood black painted. It's better than and LR/Sh!tpart replacement. Add in an Alisport matrix, new...

    Some folk have no sense of understanging. Btw, did you bang the mother?

    Painting calipers

    A man very much after my own heart. First did this some 30 years back on my old Daimler v8250. The now ex-wife came back early from shopping, she went ballistic as the whole house smelled of 180degC baked on caliper paint. She had no sense of humour. The new one's much more fun and is...

    Painting calipers

    The above replues are incorrect. Near all brake caliper paints fail if applied without a high temperature primer. I use primers and paints from VHT [very high temp]. They do not fail. Buy from Frosts.

    Tdi 200 footwell advice needed.

    Tdi 200 footwell advice needed.

    Or make the floors 100% waterproof so no water ingress. I've done this together with modified door seals, it's bone dry. And no, it does not float...the 200kg of Wolf wheels and tyres act as excellent anti-flotation devices :cool:

    Tdi 200 footwell advice needed.

    You'll be very happy with YRM footwells. I have them in my Ninety, they're very good. Small note, use Tigerseal and YRM seal strips between the floors, gearbox tunnel and footwells for 100% sealing.

    Rim job

    @drex , stop faffing about and just buy a new wheel and tyre. You really need to be thinking of the safety of others when driving on the road and of those you are driving. You'd also do well in closely inspecting every hub component on the corner hit by the other car. It takes some considerable...
