Jack Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Nice looking Landie Mark! Looks like it could be a lot of fun!! So that is why you have been talking to Lee and Snapper in the staff room of late - defection! So the next time anyone kicks off about WW2/PW we can now say that team is well balanced...:coffee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having nosed around the C4 site to watch the 'Fun Police' (Was seriuosly thinking of heading up to Doncaster with the shotgun for the good of the human race) There is also a replay of the 100 Best Children's TV, so to cheer up Catweazle, he came in at about 56 (The one above was 'Skippy!):cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Elsdon Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Fer chri's sake leave it with the 24v system in, to many of these land up hacked up and bodged, and when serviced properly it will run like a Swiss watch, a thrashy bouncy one admittedly.

Ivor Ramsden Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 If you want to improve the ride, fit a set of parabolic springs. My son fitted a set to my lightweight without telling me. They transformed the ride. It's now the most comfortable series Land-Rover that I've ever driven. It might upset the rivet-counters but it saves on visits to the physio for fixing your back. There's no way I'd go back to standard springs now. Try L Jackson & Co at Misson, near Doncaster, for parts. I think they still do ex-MoD Land-Rover stuff.

sirhc Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 For parts try the following: http://www.lrseries.com http://www.paddockspares.com http://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk You need the RSN12Y spark plugs, they can be expensive. Usually you see them for around £5 a piece. Marcus Glenn, Richard Banister etc sell them. Alternativley you can swap the leads for civvy ones and by the civvy plugs for 97p each.
