Land Rovers - Top Kit?

[martin]

Only 1 snow flake has to hit the met office roof on Christmas Day for it to be a white christmas. SWMBO saw it on the T.V news last year! Think they need to fit some new roof insulation. :-D

if anyone doubts just how much of a battering a land rover can take. my parents flipped at 70mph with five of us inside it. two months later we got a phone call fom the guy that had bought it. though a right off when the recovery truck came they pulled it onto its wheels drove it on the tuck, the phone call was for the pin to the radio

 

[Rob]

Dont quite fancy the idea of a flip at that speed in any motor. But it is reasonably easy to change most bits - as long as you have got the right spanner and a hammer

 

[Wayne]

never managed 70 out my series 3. white knuckles at 65.

I was hit from behind last month though no damage to mine exept bent tow bar, the ladies car is a total right off.

we should have a most entertaining "air" moment in a 4*4 thread!

cheers, and.

 

[Gary]

I can get my series 3 up to 80 on a straight run - although I dont usually hammer her that often.

 

[Andy]

the reason for it crashing was a tire blow out (back left) if you tell me how i can put pics on here you can see it

 

[sargey]

to post a pic you first need to have it hosted somewhere on the internet, then you need to copy the image's properties and paste them between image tags.

there are loads of free image hosting sites around.

cheers, and.

I think I will wait for it to be verified! :-D

 

[Andy]

it seems to be taking ages. if you want it i can email it too you maybe soeone else can get it on the net a lot quicker. it really is a demonstration of just how tough they are

 

[bushwacker bob]

Landrovers do take a lot of abuse, My rangerover hasnt started since Xmas. I swear at the damn thing everytime i walk past it! :twisted:

 

[maddave]

My better half Jules is taking her driving lessons at the moment. And when she passes she wants us to buy a Land Rover 109 Carawagon (see below).

What are your thoughts?

 

[MartiniDave]

Maddave - just do it man!

Dave

PS - don't blame me when it needs some TLC! :-D

 

[maddave]

I had a 90 ragtop series 2 splitscreen many years ago and it went forever...are these less reliable :shock:

 

[ally]

you dirty, rotten, lucky bar*****, what a cool missus............!

 

[Rob]

There are a few "cool missus" out there

Fitted the Safari Snorkel over christmas. Going to take it to the slindon safari off road day on the 18th and see if i did the job right

Hope so - or I will be for it T:

 

[martin]

Rob
I've heard that fitting a snorkel can have adverse affects on the mpg!
Have you found this to be true?

 

[Rob]

Martin

I dont think that it should - infact there is a school of thought that if you fit the right type, it creates an air well, which may even increase the mpg.

Still waiting for the figures to come in from Mel, who is the one that fills our's with fuel. It was doing 30.5mpg on day to day running about, but I will let you know what it does now
