Nuts safely collected nestled inside the cool box. Many thanks NoDosh and Slimer LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Just spent the weekend with the SCV6. Very impressive. More RR than LR. It's at its best when driven with a light throttle - very smooth progress, great engine sound.
No viscous fan roar on first start / pull away with this engine.

No viscous fan roar = knackered viscous fan.
Well was for me. Nothing money didn't fix, luckily not my money.
Maybe not on here, but I'm sure his Son would spill beans the next time I see them LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Not easy to put diesel into a petrol car. You'd lose patience, having to dribble it into the small aperture.
This is it:

You may have a point. Nothing a suitably crushed & shaped Celtia can can't fix though.
PS: Very nice, very nice indeed. Well jell.

If you look carefully you will see the cheeky grin of a sump protection plate at the front. Not that this car is going off road. It's just so that I can attach a tow rope easily when we go to the mountains. You never know when a chap like Al might need help.
Needs a Winch and a couple of beers cans up front if you ask me. What do you think DSL?LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

How many cans fit in front of the intercooler? Or two in a D4. We deffo need to do that again.

No winch ... yet. Waiting to see the new Disco or the new Deafener before thinking about a fully kitted toy.
Based on the number of times I used the D3 winch for true recovery (errr ... once), Bobbycrispbox owes me several hundred quid in recovery fees. That's allowing for a discount for the added aluminium value of the D3 when we recycle it, due to undiscovered beer cans in the chassis / intercooler / air intake / all other voids.
Funny that. I decided this weekend I'm definitely de-wenching the Bali Beastie because in 6 years it's only been used 2 or 3 times in earnest. So costing me more in fuel than it's probably worth in scrap value - not that it'll be scrapped
Note to vulchers, don't get too excited it'll be sometime before I get around to doing the deed.LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.
