    Classic Front fog/auxiliaries

    Afternoon. I'm being daft but I can't see how to easily replace the bulbs in the front fogs in the spoiler. I've replaced units before due to broken glass but never actually had to replace a bulb. Appears to be no easy access from the inner wing?

    17 or 18 inch steel wheels for Rangie Classic

    Afternoon. I'm a bit stuck at the moment as I have learned that Matt Lee who used to fabricate Rostyle centres into modern, larger rims is no longer doing this. I want larger rims than 16 so that I have a wider choice of fast road tyres and better fast road handling, ie slightly less tyre...

    Discover 1 V8 Auto basically breaking.

    I recently bought a Disco 1 as a donor for its transmission and Lt230 + drive shafts etc for my Rangie project. It's a one owner car and it drive immaculately. 124k on the clock and rot in the usual places but the engine was excellent as was the whole drivetrain. Very surprising. It has...

    Dash fascia removal.

    I'm looking to remove the fascia of the '89. The panel with the five air vents. I've done this several times on other classics with wood fascias and the panel just unscrews and comes away in less than five mins. This is the first time I've gone to do this with an earlier plastic fascia...

    Changing drive ratios

    I've been contemplating using a 1:1 in an LT230 instead of the standard 1:1.2 so that cruising speeds are at a more sensible rpm. The car doesn't offroad and there is no need for super low gearing and the engine will be better suited to this sort of set up. However, if I use the borg Warner...

    Judder at 70 mph

    An interesting one. The Rangie has a judder at around 70mph. You feel it through the steering wheel exactly if it were a wheel imbalance. It only occurs within a small window around 70 mph and when holding a steady speed. The real clue is that it is triggered when the car is not...

    LT230 question

    Morning, This is probably going to sound like a very stupid question but believe it or not there is some logic behind it. :) The front facing casing extension on the offset output. What is inside it and why does it need to exist? It's obviously not there for looks and not is it there to...

    ZF 4HP22 dimensions

    I've been scouring Google to try and find the length and width of the ZF auto that was used in the RRC (inc bell housing). I'd be very grateful if anyone knows this data of where I can find it. TIA.

    70s/80s seats

    Seeing as these seats have the seat belt integrated into the seat itself, how safe are they in the event of a crash? The leverage that would be applied down the back of the seat in such an event would put enormous strain on not just the fixings of the seat base to the car but also the pivot...

    Converting a manual to a P38 ZF auto

    How messy is it to convert a 70s Rangie to the P38 spec ZF box? I have a suspicion that the shape of the transmission tunnel could be problematic?

    P38 dash into a Classic?

    Pondering this one. It's about dimensions not the electronics etc. None of the internals other than the heating system would be retained. All switchgear etc gone so no wiring to be concerned about. The question is how much do the width dimensions and others change between the models?

    K Reg, 3.9 Classic - Won't start

    This is my old car which is now owned by a mate. He cannot start the car. Central locking has packed up. When key turned in ignition, ABS lights and whirring, everything seems to be running fine. ?But won't fire, turn over, no clicks or anything. The suspicion is that it is a fault with...

    RRC dashboard question

    This is a quick question for anyone who has ever removed a dash from a Classic. Is there anything in the dash in each of the corners where it meets the A pillars that will make it a big hassle to cut down from top to bottom in order to allow rollcage uprights to run through to the floor?

    Disco 1 3dr front seats

    How do these work? Do they tilt forward or does the back rock forward along with the whole seat sliding forward? TIA

    New seats

    Hi, Can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere where you can buy new Disco 2 seat sets? Of if there is a business which specialises in refurbs. I've been checking breakers on Ebay but wondering if there are any other sources. TIA.

    Sacrilege, but bear with me.

    First of all, morning. New to Landy Zone but have been a reader for a while. Mostly post on PH. In terms of Rangies, I currently own a 95 LSE which was completely rebuilt in 2005 and then sent to OverFinch. It was the last Overfinch Classic conversion and had everything done, engine...
