OB, do you know of an electroplaters that do a postal service, I need some bits redoing from my bike.
Looking great, very jealous. The black intake manifold really hides the porous look of the silver. I resprayed mine silver but it still looked crap.
Who just called him an American ? Stop stirring Richard. I asked if he was in the States.
Are you in the states Vancer? Otherwise I'm selling my newly fitted fuse box YQE103410 for a 1999 onwards petrol .
I fitted it to my car as my old one also had a bad R7 but I never got my car back on the road so took it back off.
Saw one a few weeks back over here, Its just wrong.
IVe had plenty bad experience with bleeding. I ended up buying this : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Draper-09544-Coolant-Vacuum-Refill/dp/B003BVD5NE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481840064&sr=8-1&keywords=B003BVD5NE
Its expensive but cheaper can be found.It saves a lot of hassle and swearing, takes minutes and will also indicate if there are any leaks.
You will need a compressor though.
Shame its an L322 as Im just about to sell my genuine P38 Rack and bars.
Just bought some oil for the mrs car :(
use code oil50 to reduce oil by 50% at Eurocarpart.com
I got 5 litres for £12.49 which would normally cost about €50 here in France.
Like your style OB.
I'm sure you will appreciate this especially certain people who use their mrs dishwasher for degreasing car parts.
Amazon has these invaluable bolt grips on offer of the day so thought Id share the deal as maybe of use to some.
The base 5 piece set for £11.99 and the extension set for £ 12.99

Thats odd about the 10 year discount as I litterally registered my motorbike last month and it still applied. Maybe its regional.
Also Richard if your friend is a resident in France it may prove difficult to keep it on UK plates though he probably already knows that.
He will still have to have an MOT and road tax despite driving it in France otherwise his UK insurance will be invalid.
From what I remember you have 3 months to register a vehicle if you are a resident in France. If you get caught by the police in France they can force you to register it plus a fine.
Sounds tempting Richard. I really appreciate the thought. I will give it some thought aswell.
To transfer mine cost appx €150 to get a conformity certificate from Range Rover France.They basically state that the P38 conforms to eu regs.
Appx €500 for the registration. If a car is 10 years older or more it receives 50% off the registration fee so it would have cost €1000 .
I was lucky and got the headlights from ebay for £100.
Although your friends is a 4.6 it shouldnt cost much more than mine did but it is dependant on the region you live as they all charge different prices but I suspect he hasnt taken into account the 50% reduction as its over 10 years old.
Dont worry, Ive just checked and your library is private, its only because you shared the above links to the above photos that I can use them.
So are you doing these steps to get photos posted.
Click on the photo link which then opens up the insert hyperlink address.
Then insert the http address into the box and enter.
You mean this one ;)
You need the Http:// address which is obtained by right clicking on the photo and getting image address .
I dont think I would buy another one whilst living in France but I might look for one again should I return to the UK.
Have you decided what you are going to buy?
Well, Ive come to realise despite repairing the car more than it was really driven, it is in fact that which I enjoyed.
Now I have had to give up the car, I am at a loose end and its made me think that the constant repairs was what was keeping me sane in an otherwise mundane life.
Ive also been reading up on selling a spares/repairs car in France and it wont prove easy. You are not allowed to sell a car that cant be driven, luckily mine can, albeit only a few miles before it blows out.You are not allowed to advertise the car for spares only. Its all very harsh because they dont want any cars that need repairing in circulation and therefore forcing you to get it scrapped.
I will in fact advertise it on a Polish forum where they buy spare/repair cars across Europe so fingers crossed.
If I cant sell it I will gladly offer it to anyone on here for free but obviously it will need collecting on a trailer so let me know if you would be interested.
Fortunately I have a motorbike, Goldwing thats 30 years old so I have something to tinker with in the mean time.
Thats a grand gesture Chris and I am grateful for the support. It is just not viable for me here due to circumstances. Thanks all the same.
