I needed extra hands due to holding mesh/foam & trying to fit those retaining clips---- pita --- if I was doing it again I'd probably just use mesh ---- probably been easier 🙄
I actually said to remove both side trims 👍I said an extra pair of hands help 👍
I got braided Flexi hoses to all my vehicles ok they cost more but I like the added safety my vogue SE got standard discs and pads stops well enough for me 👍 but like all things everybody different 👍
Hello again I don't need to say much as basically it's the same family in a different house ----- it's great 👍👍👍👍
Did someone mention the R word (rust) I've had to do whole floor/sills/ trunk on my 65 rover p6----- still not as bad as a defender 🤣🤣
Well what about Cummins diesel --- just a thought --- I got a 4.6 HSE gems P38 the engine is fubar -- I'm thinking of going Cummins diesel or chev V8 I can get a 300tdi with manual box(disco 2) whole thing £200 but am seriously considering Cummins
I've heard from various people in garage trade that the BMW engines suffer camshaft issues --- my boss got L322 tdv6 cost him £310 for pads/discs all round --- that's parts only 😲 from what I here about all the more modern rangeys---- glad I got a P38
Mmmm for some reason I don't like LPG modded engines---- I had a 3litre omega with LPG kept having issues (zavoli ) maybe just unlucky myself but wonder if got other issues Anyway £800 could go on what you already have ---- that's what I'd do or go halves with a mate for parts ??????

Welcome to the pub. Don't know who pissed you off at RR.net but it is not as bad as it used to be.
The same Supermod runs the show on both now.
Lot of newbies on RR.net now asking dumb questions. Too lazy to look things up.
It is a pity you are not into diesel p38's with your experience.
My mate mark got DSE so I do his for him 👍 just because I got V8 doesn't mean I don't like diesel
Exactly mate --- you wonder what the point of bothering ---- I think it's either lockdown effected brain or that he just doesn't like anything non American --- still at least here is full of mildly insane people --- got to be with a P38 in your life --- bit like cuddling a tiger ---- waiting for the bite

Hi Symes - welcome to the club. Impressive stable - mine is more linear - Defender and RR, Sounds like you enjoy a good V8 though
I was born in Kentucky & came here as a kid my mom was from jarez in Spain. -- long story but V8s seem to be in my blood 👍 Apparently other engines are available 🤔
