Whether it applies or not it is how the data is used that is important not that it is there. Anyone that registers here gives their personal details freely and provided Gordon doesn't decide to sell those details on to someone else, there isn't a problem If you choose to publish what could be considered personal information (birthday, etc) then that is immediately placed in the public domain. So is no longer considered personal but public. What isn't allowed is something I need to take up with another owners club I'm involved in. They send out a newsletter by email but looking at the To list, it shows every email address for all 200 odd recipients. That email address has been given in order that the club can contact them, not to publish it to everyone else who may then use it for other purposes. The advice we got at work under those circumstances is to send an email to yourself and put the other recipients in the Bcc list.
That took me three attempts at spotting the difference, especially as the modified one is the first picture....
on my original one it was impossible to flash the lights when they were on as that put main beam on instead but the stalk was all limp and floppy anyway. I pulled that apart and found that the white plastic bit was actually broken so got a replacement. It's much better but still has very little difference in movement between flash and dip so I may well do the plastic milk bottle addition. I do actually use the overlimit setting at times so don't want to do the Sloth mod. My original one didn't have the buttons for the trip computer either (plod obviously didn't think it necessary) but the wiring was there in the loom. As this was in pre-Nanocom days I had a chat with my local indie (now gone unfortunately) who plugged in his testbook and enabled the trip computer in the BeCM. Quite amusing to see the average fuel consumption and speed for the first 200,000 odd miles of it's life.

The alternative would be to refurb your existing seats. The late Orangebean did his and they came up looking like new, see https://rangerovers.pub/topic/305-resurrection-vogue-se-a?page=12#pid6657
With the HEVAC out you should be able to pull the whole facia surround enough to get your hand in there and unplug the wiring. But it should come out far enough anyway as there is sufficient slack on the cables to allow the radio to be pulled clear of the dash and the plugs pulled out.
“JMC is no longer with us. He didn't feel the site guidelines should apply to him because he has a car far better than anything I could ever dream of owning and I'm jealous.....
The brake pedal does feel different to a car with a conventional braking system as it is pressure sensitive rather than movement sensitive. That means it will feel a bit wooden until you get used to it but the main cause of a lack of feel is the choice of brake pads. It's no good fitting hard, performance, pads and expecting good brakes until you get them nicely warmed up. Even using standard Delphi pads I've never managed to get the brakes to fade so harder pads are just a waste of money.
The car tax is one issue, go for pre-March 2001 so it's on the fixed rate rather than the sliding scale based on emissions and there might be a flaw in your insurance plan. My daughter tried to get a Classic policy on a Mk1 MR2 but nobody would do it until she was 24, so they may well baulk at a 17 year old. As said, would he slow down, or even stop, if he heard a funny noise or would he just turn the stereo up and carry on?
But they are only interested in stuff that they know they can break for spares and make a fortune on, diesel Peugeots, Citroens, BMWs, etc, stuff that they have a ready market for. Dina's father in Latvia was quoted £60 each for secondhand front brake discs for a Ford Mondeo, I took a pair of brand new ones and a set of pads too that cost less than that for the lot over here. A P38 is a bit too specialist for them, traders wanting something to cobble back together and sell in a weeks time won't be interested either, it's too niche market so could go for next to nothing.
That's true, didn't realise the Bigas was such an oddball. While you are at it, if you are changing the coolant plumbing, reroute the hoses so the reducer is in series with the heater matrix. Quicker warm up and a heater that will work at full tilt when needed.
Simon is the best person to advise which one to go for.
Sorry, I lied. The seat back has a headrest on it too.
And now the whole thread has gone.......
Although that was almost certainly because you used profanity. That is something I've never understood about Americans. I used to do a lot of video editing work and would sometimes use a video forum. Yanks were constantly popping up asking how they could make a copy of a Hollywood film but edit out any swearing so they could let their kids watch it. They would quite happily let their kids watch people having sex, or shooting each other or blowing each other up but no way would they allow their kids to hear someone say arse.
I've got a pair of seat bases, a passenger side backrest and a seat base with the cover removed but it is all there. Passenger and drivers seats are the same except for the hole in the side where the armrest bolts on. I wanted a passenger seat base in the same cloth as mine to replace the well worn drivers seat base (as the bases are interchangeable). Bought two seats on eBay and paid full price but told the seller I only wanted the bases and that kept the postage down. Then found they were the wrong colour. Then bought a complete interior in the right colour, didn't bother with the rear seat when I went to collect it but got the rest (including all the interior plastics). I've got the drivers seat (fitted with my well worn base) which I would want to keep but you are welcome to whatever you need from the rest. Don't think I've got headrests though.
I've got a pair of complete cloth seat bases that the picture on eBay showed to be the same as mine but they weren't when they arrived. Seller insisted he had sent the same ones as in the photograph even when I sent him pictures showing they were completely different. They are 3 bar and you are welcome to them to cut them up. Alternatively I've got a 3 bar cloth seat base cover that is already off the seat which would probably be easier to post.
It's still there, but it has only been 3 minutes.......
Shape and dimensions would be the same but there are two styles, 3 bar and 5 bar.
That'll be me then. I can't use Gilbertd on there like I do everywhere else, that username has a lifetime ban (for something that they never have told me what I did). Where in Lincs are you, I'm just outside Peterborough but Lincs is a pretty big county.......
It'll probably go for no more than 3 or 400. I can't make out the badge on the tailgate but the interior colour and wood on the dash looks like it is some sort of special edition even if it is only a 4.0 litre. Looks to only need a bumper, headlight and maybe a bonnet at worst. A weekend of tin bashing should get it sorted.
No Morat, different thing. If a mod deletes a spam message then the heading shows Opening Time - No posts unless they hide it first then delete it (or delete it and immediately post something else). This is where from the main page the filled in blob shows there are unread posts in one or other forum. You then go into that forum, the unread post has a filled in blob next to it so you read it. When you go back to the main page, the blob is still filled showing unread posts but when you go into the forum, there aren't any as you've just read them and the blob is now not filled in within the forum.
The Hackery forum was started when there was talk about hacking the BeCM and firmware for some of the other subsystems and it was decided to keep it private so people wouldn't start playing with things the didn't understand and screw them up in a big way. You only have to look at some of the suggestions on the dark side about fiddling with the immobiliser/central locking, etc to 'improve' it to see just how stupid some people can be. Typical little knowledge being a dangerous thing activities. However, if memory serves me right, Davew has been involved in a bit of software digging so access to it would be worthwhile (even though there's been nothing posted in there for months now).
You won't. Hackery is only visible to moderators and the LPG section is, as it says, only for Gordon, Brian, me and Simon. Pretty much obsolete now that the hosting for LPGForum has been changed and the software updated but it was used to discuss the way forward and whether it was going to be incorporated into this site or run alongside it.
