MAN! I've seen more than a few model railroads as well as towns, fairs and parks but this goes way beyond anything I can think of.
The only thing that struck me, and I'm not nit picking here is I think a Bull Durham Tobacco sign would have been a good addition along with the Red Man.
That's kind of odd. We didn't have a local stealer back in 2010 when I wanted to order a key so I called the one down in Tulsa. I got the same thing about mailing or faxing my registration, drivers license and VIN but was told they had to call LR in New York to get the Key Code. Price was the same as I recall.
Yes Richard you did, and now thanks to your invite I'm here! The Rad is still doing great by the way, thanks again for the assist with that.
I left a post dangling over at the "place that won't be named" about needing help with a telephone mounting bracket that came with no fitting instructions and isn't listed in the RAVE accessory section. I may repost here. I know you've see a lot of Range Rovers and there doesn't seem to be a shortage of knowledge and experience gathered here.
MarkTr I like you have become a classic. Luxman, fine, fine equipment and I've never owned a set of Theils but I've auditioned them back in the day when I could get near a HiFi shop that had the clout to offer them, absolute bliss. You should recap the crossovers in those if you haven't already. Bring them back to life like you might not expect.
Lpgc That is an absolutely great story about your father. Thanks for that. And I think we all know now who to call for our next block party! Neighbors and police be damned. I remember the "Winking Eye" tube on Wollensak tape decks also.
Glad to meet you all and thanks for the welcome.
Thanks for that info BlackSpeed. I'll go after it there tomorrow.
Kinda funny thing that crotch vent, my other 99my has it but this one doesn't. Glove boxes are a little different also.
LR is kind of famous for that I think when nearing a change in the production line. Things tend to slip in early.
I need to troubleshoot my cruise control. I've never had to go beyond vacuum problems before so I'm following the procedure in RAVE.
I know I'm just being lazy here but I really don't want to go tearing up the inside panels if someone can just say "no dumb a$$ it's over there".
I'm looking for the cruise control ECU. RAVE electrical component location says it's to the right of the steering column on right hand drive vehicles.
Does anybody know if they moved it to the left of the vehicle for NAS models along with the steering column or did they leave it on the right hand side above what would now be the glove box?
So many replies so quickly.
OldShep56 I'll wish you luck with your steak in the Hounds. I never seem to pick winners so I just give them a good home to retire to.
BlackSpeed66 nothing wrong at all with setup. I run solid state. My current line up includes McIntosh 7270 amp and pre amp. Oracle Delphi MkI TT with a Grace 727 tonearm and Grace ruby cantilever stylus, TeraDak DAC, Yaqin tube buffer, Sony minidisc, Marantz CD and currently Wharfedale Reva - 4 speakers. Sometimes I change these out for either the Dhalquest DQ10's or the Martin Logan Sequel electrostatics. As well as the two reel to reels I've already mentioned.
Gilbertd you too have a fine system there and Dachshunds have been a close second for me and always my mother's favorite. As a matter of fact I'm the person responsible for getting her hooked on them back when I was about 12 or 14. But after meeting my first Greyhound 26 years ago I've been hooked for life.
As far as clues are concerned there all there. My User name explanation, My first range rover.................
Greyhound5. Hello, I'll keep the intro short though as many of you will know I tend to ramble.
I've been invited here by a friend that I think many of us share a mutual admiration for from THE OTHER FORUM. The user name change isn't so much a ruse, though from the sound of it it might not be a bad idea I just got tired of using a handle that I chose at the drop of a hat rather than one that reflects something about me.
So yes I rescue retired racing Greyhounds (only one at a time now) I also have a large Mini longhair Dachshund that was my mother's until she passed a couple of years ago. Other interests include analog stereo from the 60's to 80's. I never got out of vinyl so there was no revival for me. I am stepping back into open reel tape after having gotten swept up in the digital age starting back in the mid 80's for all practical purposes. I have added a TEAC and an AKAI both full auto reverse 10.5 inch decks to my system to fill that part of my quest.
I live in the US and have had to work everyday for my money so mostly I've driven Fords with the occasional Buick thrown in, a few Volkswagens and a couple of MGs because that's what you do when you have to buy car parts quickly and inexpensively, you drive whats common.
I've always been in love with many of the old British badges. Not so much now that they have either disappeared or been sold off. I worked for British Leyland as a light mechanic back in 78-79 and got to drive many great cars. But Land Rover was one that has always been a favorite of mine.
I own three Rovers now (time for the giveaway) a 99my Range Rover S in Rioja Red. This ones been sitting in the garage for 8 years now with a destroyed motor caused by a slipped liner. A 2003 Discovery HSE7 (which I won't be mentioning in my posts) runs great unfortunately I broke a rather important piece of plastic that holds the center dash in place and haven't worked out how to fix it yet and a 99my Range Rover Callaway #123 in Niagara Grey.
Well I'll stop there. I did say I wouldn't ramble didn't I?
