Look on the club's website. You can access all the past issues of B2L.

Classic car insurers should know all about Series Land Rovers.

Phone them up and if you are getting nonsense, ask to speak to a supervisor.

AF where over £100 more than Hagerty. Pete Best would not cover last time as I said there was technically seven seats, though unlikely ever to use all.
I didn't keep last B2L is there somewhere on 'site that gives list of insurers with Club discount ?

General Discussion / Import registration numbers
Last post by JohnR2 - Today at 07:55 AM
What is people's experience with the number allocated to an import? do Swansea give it an area code to the registration district or just a random one? I thought I'd be cheeky and ask if it's possible to have a Brum number or a Dorset area one - we'll see!

The only number I'd be interested in would be his !

I'm certainly not one to complain but his thrusting face and attitude is abusive and borderline assault deserving formal reprimand !

It was a recent renewal so I knew how much the renewal premium was. All to help my case I thought.
Yes your right and I was pretty annoyed about it but at the time I did not really think about pursuing it.

I've certainly seen fog lights described as "fog guard" lights.

Same here! Thanks very much for all your help.
The box is half in but I've just discovered that the Series 3 box seems to use different mounting bolts to the Series 2  :thud
I'll have a rummage through my spare bolts box tomorrow  :cheers-man

Had a visit from London! Oddjob came by to pick up a steering box. Very nice to put a face to the name.

They a huge range of rubber extrusions, but as far as I am aware, not vehicle specific. Which seals are you after?

Quote from: Space-Kook on Yesterday at 01:50 PMthere are companies that buy all the driving test slots and then sell them for ludicrous prices.

Seen that too. £400-500 to jump the queue. And... a premium to get a car to tie in. Usually another £250.

At that age, I took my moped test at 16, my motorcycle at 17, and my car. The moped test at 16 was rather unusual,  the rest hardly news - considered rites-of-passage.

Don't talk to me about my first house at 21. Back then it was priced £18750 - 2 1/4 times my gross salary. That house is worth £420-450,000 today. By that measure, any  21YO needs to earn £180,000 a year for a house. The same job now  pays about £40,000., and if... if a 21YO gets  that job he's done well. Back then it was normal.

Space-Kook, you have my sympathy.
