here are some pictures the rust in the drivers footwell. 20151106_122443.jpg The inner body mount (the green is the filler someone had used to hide the rust), this looks pretty easy to drill out from the inside and plug weld in a replacement. 20151106_122513.jpg and this is the new end of the inner ...

The body mount is strong but begining to go, it has already been patched and the seams are begining to swell, I have already made a new inner sill / body mount / floor support section so will all be cut out and replaced.

I started digging around the drivers footwell of the range rover which looked pretty solid. Turns out most of the solid area was filler! so to add to the. List I need to replace the outer edge of the footwell, the kick panel and the outside 2 of inches of the wheelarch. Looking at it positively it i...

The vaporizer is only a few months old, the outlet is on the top, it is not icing up (hot to the touch) drove it to work today with the idle at 900 rpm and it drove perfectly, the idle speed is a bit variable which may be part of the problem, this is the old efi system with a thermo mechanical idle ...

It has done it twice now, once when it dropped to idle then I accelerated, the second time yesterday on a key off then re-start, it seems fine on full load. After the first time I richened it up a bit and it was fine for a couple of weeks, this time it had been idling for ages while I messed around ...

the thought that I could do more damage than good and leave myself with a stranded vehicle was why I didn't touch it last week, short term I am going to try fitting better clips, longer term I will think about new hoses, the leak is not that bad, it hasen't got to the dripping stage yet. We used it ...

Its still the original hose because it is still crimped on the gearbox end.the previous owner had quite a bit of work done on the cooling system and this seems to have been a shortcut when removing the radiator.

It is the trans cooler pipes as shown, for some reason the front of the rubber hose has been cut off and re-fitted with jubilee clips the metal part of the pipes looks perfect though, if the worse comes to the worse I will take them to the local hydraulic place and get new rubber sections crimped in.

Good to know thanks,

It does look like they may have used oversize jubilee clips and wound them right down, i didnt try tightening them for fear they may break, i will try when i have some time to fix it if anyfhing goes wrong.

We are looking at universities now for my daughter next year,I can see what you mean about skint, it seems the government's assumption is if you jointy earn much more than 40k, before any deductions, you can afford 5 grand a year, I was amazed the living loan does not even cover the accomodation cos...
