  1. Just thought I would update my previous post The laptop purchased at Hack Green and thankfully not at £300.00 they are on sale for on Ebay I found that in addition to the hard drive removed as expected whoever decommissioned the laptop removed the bios chip off the mother board So that was a blow. However stripped everything out except the power supply and I am looking at fitting a raspberry pi computer inside. The monitor then proved to be an obsticle as the wiring did not match anything I could find on the internet so the next plan is to try and fit a secondhand 14 inch monitor in its place The output from the raspberry is via hdmi so I have an hdmi converter to vga I will let you know how the next step progresses Nick

  18. Hello everyone Thanks for the warm welcome. I have thought about one of the caravan covers and it is on the list to get. I have to tax the beast in November so once is that done I shall look at getting a cover. Having plenty of time is fine but my wife has always got me plenty of other jobs lined up. Cash flow is also the other problem especialy when I have such a low income. As soon as I get into this new forum and learn how to do it I will put some pictures up. My landrover is a 1983 series 3 model released in 1998 then into storage in one once place or another finaly ending up with me earlier this year. regards Nick
  19. Hello Tony Thanks for the welcome regards Nick
  20. Hello My name is Nick and I am from North Nottinghamshire. I am retired far too early but that is another story LOL....I have driven landrovers for previous employment but this is the first time I have owned a series 3 FFR and am really enjoying my new project. As it is an FFR I have restored much of the Clansman kit into the rear and as a licenced Radio Ham since the 1980's I have also used the kit to make contacts over the air. Still got quite a bit to progess with but having no garage and the weather is becoming a problem any new task will be as and when. Anyway hello to everyone...regards Nick
