Nice looking car mate :) gotta keep the Y60 though!!

Hello Guy's, Thanks for the speedy replies :) Plank - i agree, i thought there must be a 'standard' height of some sort Jace - top idea mate, thats what i had in mind otherwise my lift efforts would be wasted by fitting a plough!! Thanks again Daz

Hey all, I'm just finishing a rebuild on my y60 and wondered what standard tow ball height is? (lets say to the top of the ball) as ive lifted suspension and body its going to be way out as it is now! many thanks Daz

Hi Karin, So sorry to hear your new's :( Ive had 2 attempted thefts on an old land rover of mine and thats bad enough. I havn't got a manual to refer to but mine patrols a diesel auto and the final gear/overdrive is higher than a manual so cruising revs is ridiculously low, about 1,800rpm at...

Ha! excellent:) i used to have a video of german police dog's (rotties) that were trained to run at moving cars and go through the window (no glass lol)!!! and get the driver :) see if i can find it.

Go for it!!! Always wanted one of them :) Ive got an 8ton hydraulic boughton winch for it as well and i'm only 2mins from it :):):) A guy near here has one and made a hydraulic trailer that picks up skips! nice little side line Adz :) if you have some where to store the skips. I may be able...

Whoa! now thats a long wade! Dont think i would have fancied it in an old V8 through!?! too many electrics = wet feet and ropes :) I'd be up for an outing when mines on the road :)

Haha! 'Even a woman can do it!' love it :) Land rover used to sell these on the old series vehicles, pretty much the same but the drum was a capstan drum so you needed someone to tension the rope but you could control recovery speed etc.... Nice find mate.

Well done on the effected entry!!! Half tennis ball only works on a handful of older cars (as said) that have pneumatic central locking. As stated, you'd just a look a bit silly on a modern car with electric motor driven locks! Daz

Hey, If he's in the AA or RAC give em a call, They'll get in for him. Then get a key cut!!!!!! Daz

Hey Hummingbird, Thanks for the quick reply! I didnt know you could retemper springs, Its a 2nd vehicle so that would be no problem. Any ideas where or £££, I think i just emailed explorer procomp, Lost track a bit! Thanks Daz

Hey all, I have a 1992 Patrol (260???) and just wondered where i can get +2" leaf springs and shocks from? Just found a site quoting approx £800 8O , Cant be right surely!!!! Might be a silly idea, but cant i just put the springs on top of the axle's instead of beneath them? I think it may...

AS ABOVE!!!! I decided that seal kits were the way to go on my last landy's front callipers, 1st brought some pattern parts, after stripping down the callipers i found they didnt fit! Then brought some land rover ones, fitted these and they leaked within the month!!! THEN brought some...

Hello, I used the hammerite special metals primer on some alluminium last year and it didnt wear well at all, Maybe i was just unlucky?!?! At work we use a primer called galvafroid on any railings/gates that we fit, its available from most trade paint merchants and works a treat, apply by...

Thanks mate, Think i'll give it a go! Ive been put in touch with a place in London that'll re-build it for £240 so might not be too drastic! Daz
