Finally got round to check this out Pete, you've been a busy bee since you got it mate haven't you.

And today I have also just put one of the seat belt round stoppers on the drivers seat belt, is that the same on every RR?

See you Thursday for lots of tips and advice swapping ha Dan

Had a great weekend, the lanes are very tight and we had to do a bit of trimming on one lane to get through... did another not very used lane and found out why some 100yds from the end... would have been hard to get a motorcycle through... so a fare bit of reversing for everyone.... Also there is no way it will fit down the famous "V" gully lane where a three foot tree has been sculpted to Disco shape....!!!

Was waiting to sort the hours of in car footage but the Censored SD card has corrupted and I've lost the lot... so nothing to show I'm afraid...

I'm doing a recce this weekend with a couple of mates... be going from The Lake District to Whitby on lanes we haven't done before for a mammoth coast to coast trip in July... should be a full weekend of laneing... Pete

Good lad!!

Can't wait to have mine detailed as I went down a few scratchy lanes with it and some that even made XJ drivers wince at their tightness!

Have to re visit good old Wales again and do it all over again ( making sure you have many sd cards ready ) Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Thumbs Up If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

Whats your economy like with the 32" wheels? Mine dropped from 15mpg in town to 12mpg which seems a bit drastic.

I never really bother measuring it, but that sounds about right, remember the tyres are just over 10% bigger than the originals so your speed and distance recorded are now just over 10% more... My speedo reads about 1mph under at 70 now so it's just about spot on...

So your mpg now is about right and before was 10% over... so you dropped from 13.5 to 12mpg so not such a great amount, that will be down to needing more power to turn the larger tyres and the additional weight... Pete

Loving this tread. Haylands - you really use your ff like it's supposed to be used (and how it's not supposed to be used under a Welsh river Laughing )

Thanks Dave, glad you like it....

Right then, it's been 6 weeks since the second hip so I'm back on with "playing in me shed"....

Rear bumper is looking defo dodgy having spent a lot of it's time kissing various big lumps of stone around the country.. I also don't have any room for a spare as the hole is full up with LPG tank... I also fancy a rear winch, because I can...!!!

So first job was to reposition the LPG filler from a rather silly place anyway, just behind the rear wheel and about a foot of the ground......


Click image to enlarge



To a more use friendly position.... I also colour matched it to the handles/grille etc... don't think they look nice body colour....





Then whipped the rear bumper off to have a measure up and look see....





There is enough room for a winch, which is lucky as I picked one up for a tenner last week... came as a non runner but I've rebuilt a few of these now and know what makes them tick... 30mins and it now works great, just needs a cosmetic makeover....





Then the grand Prix started so I came in....

Next job is sort out what metal I need and then crank the welder up....

Watch this space...... Thumbs Up Pete
