£464? that seems a little spicey... do they have a big upside?

Funny you should mention that, I was messing around in the boot (putting in a new Christmas tree fastener to hold the side panel) and found my long lost 6 sided 10mm Socket :D

Fair enough. I don't imagine the second totally torn speaker is helping much. I'll keep my eyes open for another one. Good news is that just be removing and replacing the CD player - it's now working again!

I've fitted the first sub, it's alive and is getting a signal. Doesn't seem to make much noise though :(
Seeing as I'm expecting to go back in to it soon, I've just rammed the amp into the bottom of the box in those weirdly diagonal yet vertical grooves that look to be designed to hold an amp but are too close together for the heatsink on mine.

Fitting was OK once I realised you've got to take the whole thing out and apart...

Looking good! just wish they listed the colour. Ah well, worth a punt -thanks.

hi folks,
does anyone have a source for these irritating little gadgets please? Ideally in beige/lightstone.
The ones holding the subwoofer panel in place in the Duchess have given up the ghost and no longer grip. I ordered some at about 3.50 for 5 and then ended up with 10 quid postage! I hope they fit :D

Cheers,
Morat

Thanks folks! I was hasty and ordered one of the Daytons from Amazon, it was the last one in stock :( I'll fit it and see how easy it is, and hunt down another if I like it. I guess it won't make a lot of difference to fit two different speakers but it would annoy me!

Well done Richard - and great photo!

That sounds do-able! Thanks again :D

While I'm feeling RangeRovery....
Does anyone have any suggestions for drop in (or as close as possible) replacements for the twin rear subs? Mine now have the full "free floating cone" mod, so they're pretty useless. If there is anything that can be made to fit and will sound OK, I'm all ears (omg no)

True, but I already have one of those.... ;)

I had to put a new starter in my Jeep last month, it gave its last gasp as I tried to start it at the front of the queue for the Hull Ferry. I had to sit there while the whole queue drove past me onto the ship! Luckily a nice English guy who lived in Germany towed me onto the ferry and I was able to make arrangements for a recovery in Hull.
£100 for a starter and an hour on my back, really should have done that a week before!

ahh fun and games! We should agree on a location for a pint some time!

I have had a chance to compare the Duchess with and without side steps - because they only took one side off!! haha.

On the whole I don't think we need them, so I'll probably get her up high and start spraying PlusGas ahead of a monumental swear session. I might even get that airgun I promised myself so I can round the nuts off properly :)

Sweet! Thank you.
Hope you're keeping well?

I took the Duchess to have nice bath before her MOT and one of the guys cleaning her broke the passenger sidestep. The front outrigger was rusted. What are the options here? I don't really use the sidesteps - but I don't want to leave lots of nasty holes. Are replacement brackets available? Do I need to find someone to fab one up - or can I just rip them all off?
Recommendations please!

That does sound like a good plan...

Is this turning into a final gathering at the workshop? :) Maybe I should bring a BBQ!

I did have a look see, and the terminals look good - but I guess they probably all do from the top.
The fun thing was I could hear a quiet clunk from under the bonnet when tell the fuel pump to run. Maybe the relay itself then? I could keep swapping to isolate the relay but... I'm not a massive fan of disturbing electrics on a P38 :)

Ah well, I'd rather not drop the tank just on the offchance so I'll keep an eye on this.

I'm dragging the family south around that time. I won't be able to be much use but I'd love to drop in a say Hi before you dissappear back to NZ!
Best of luck with the future mate :)

It would be great to see you! I think I still have you number, so will drop you a message once I'm in the UK and we can see what we can work out!

After <mumbles> time faffing on with the Nanocom flicking the fuel pump on/off on cold starts, I finally bothered my arse to swap the fuel pump relay for one of the screen heat relays.
Now it has only been a couple of days and this was always a bit intermittent but she has started first flick of the key ever since cold or warm. Coincidence?
