Don't forget the sunroof crew!
I was a part time member, still strictly on probation :)
Oatmeal was perfect for my Light Stone interior, and the dark colour Marty got for SNOG worked really well with his dark trim.
Sorry, but I'm really not interested in the other site. Let them do what they want, we've got a great forum here, no need for the chip on the shoulder. IMO of course.
That sounds like a great excuse for a road trip!
Glad you've got it back, hope you didn't pay the robbing bastards what they were asking for. It might be worth telling them what the actual fault was and to point out that it was cheap to fix!
That looks like a worthy and epic project! I've never driven an E39 oil burner but they had a good reputation. I did have the E39 540i (545i was a later model) with an M62B44TU. With 280ish HP and a six speed - that went OK but probably wouldn't excite you in a P38 unless you're really thrashing it. It needed quite a lot of revs to wake up (peak torque at 3600rpm). I'm no diesel fan but I think a relaxed torquey lump is ideal for the job.
I certainly wouldn't be offended by your P38 losing the Rover V8 and getting something more modern. I'm always a bit underwhelmed by the 4.6 anyway. It does the job and sounds nice but the fuel burn is ridiculous for the numbers.
Welcome Harv! I fear your standards may be a little high but it'll be great to have you around :)
Lol, you'd need the full US size pickup to haul it - or a Scania :)
Go the other way and get a chop saw like wot I did. Delrin? like BUTTER! :)
Thanks! And no worries :)
Yeah, the white is nearly white again!
You need to roll north up the M1 for a proper test of your Range Rover :)
There's beer up here, and an ever growing number of tools....
Good luck mate!
The Duchess in her natural environment :)

Richard is a bit of a Land Rover zealot :)
With having a foot in each camp, I'm happy to report that Jeeps and Range Rovers are each very capable vehicles - just different flavours of the same ice cream :)
Excellent! And it sounds like Tom would be welcome to join the forum, if he's interested.
As you're off-roading in the US I'd recommend looking at a US forum. Offroading in the UK is not the same thing and doesn't leave you with the potential to be stranded two days walk from phone coverage.
The Cherokee forums: www.cherokeeforum.com have regional forums which should help you out. They don't need to know you're in a Range Rover :)
The kit lists they recommend tend to be on the apocalyptic side and often start with an AR-15 or similar but there's also some very knowledgeable people on there.
The Britpart rear sensor I ordered last year turned up in the dreaded blue bag but was marked with Dunlop logos. The theory is that Britpart order enough in one go for Dunlop to be interested in a producing a batch.
If it isn't practical to use the original paddle location, you could pipe the flow and use an Archimedes screw instead...
Sloth, any chance of that part number please?
I really want to get a valet key now :)
Cheers
If you're looking at colour coding I'd advise against the body coloured covers. Mine has them and they're a bit crap. They don't really match and they seem to mark up very quickly. I've left them on only because they still work and I'd imagine there will be some horrible adhesive residue left behind if I try to take them off.
Yep, that's buggered alright! :)
I still miss my E30 :(
but you can't go back....
The Duchess has passed her acceptance trial from SWMBO! After replacing most of the front end she now actually steers. At sodding last! OK, she's no E30 but she no longer throws you towards oncoming traffic at random intervals.
All I need to do now is get back to Marty for the driver's door latch because I got myself locked out again today - like an idiot.
Time to get a valet key cut, and a strong magnet. Luckily I have a large stack of dead hard drives at work. I'll hack into one of those and get a decent magnet there.
