A chap called Steve was advertising genuine parts on Fleebay but he also works in parts at W.W.Webber Land Rover in Basingstoke so I've just bought Genuine Side Steps, rubber mats plus boot mat, main dog guard as well as the back window dog guard from all for £400. I saved on postage as I...

I a bid to learn a little more I found this idiots guide...not bad really and it has pictures too!!!!! http://www.safari4x4.com.au/80scool/george_couyant/shockers/shock_absorbers.html Cheers Stew

Ming, Very valid point! I'm still in the 'lightweight, fibreglass and running over a beetle shatters your teeth' mind set. Stew

I'm not a mechanic and so am probably wrong but surely pushing down with half your own body weight on one corner at a time has no comparison to 1800kg's shifting weight under hard baking? Meaning in reality it’s not a good test? Pop corn at the ready;) Stew

Shocks and Dampers are constantly being battered and really should be better looked after than most of us do! The slightest failure in suspension affects the handling in every car it also puts extra stresses on parts that aren’t expecting it. More than likely his shocks have had it, he...

I agree! I joined to sponge the knowledge from those who have suffered the same problem as myself or those that have found easier ways to adjust tracking, change a wiper motor or even to ask for the best place to get insurance. The Lotus forum I use has saved me literally thousands of...

Don't ever think of getting a sporty car and end up on the Seloc (Louts)forum!!! it will scare the living daylights out of you... Lots Of Trouble Usually Small Cheers Stewart

That's quite steep, I was thinking of going for one of the aftermarket ones for around £130-60. I need to save the money as I also need a full dog guard, rubber boot liner, Rubber footwell mats and front/rear light protection. This is all getting very expensive! Cheers Stewart

TMHM, Thats great! Thank you very much. Regards Stewart

Dave, I think I'll get the tool!!!! Which steps did you go for? Stewart

I've done a search in the archives without any joy...Has anyone here replaced any of the front interior lights (Green), specifically near the temp gauge in the dash. If so...how? Cheers Stewart

Stop eating prunes - Stinky! *Waves hand in front of face - Cough,cough*

Thanks for that......Rivet tool thingy it is then! Cheers again Stewart

Make one, blinkin'-eck! So a torque wrench or long handled spanner wont do the job? What's the difference between the tools? Stew
