Very clever, made me chuckle over the morning cup of tea Ian

Plan B (as you always need a plan B!) have you found some good steel wheels that you could recommend? I could go down that route, particularly if they have a better negative offset to move the wheels out a bit. :rolleyes: They would probably be cheaper that the cost of getting my alloys...

You are right about the slight shape change pre 2000. There are a few for sale on ebay at the moment of the older style but the later ones rarely come up. The ones in the breakers in Doncaster (somewhere "up north" I think :augie) have all gone, and that was a full set of 5. This is the 3rd...

I will l keep looking but let me know when you decide to sell them and if I haven't found one by then, I will have one. :thumb2 Ian

I have just found a 2001 Patrol in a breakers in Doncaster (wherever that is!) that looks like the same style of wheel. Just got to wait for a reply to see if they will sell me just one of what looks like a full set of 5. Ian

I'm impressed with the amount of use you managed to get out of the old ones, they look well worn. :thumbs

Has anyone got an original patrol wheel to match this one that they would be interested in selling. I have 4 on the car and a steel spare which I want to replace. :)

I bought this off eBay about a year ago and it is falling off. Still gets a reaction from following landrovers (but they always seem to be following!!) Must get a replacement soon. :lol

Just fitted the HID headlights, what a difference, white light instead of the orange from the original lamps (which were only a year old). The only issue was having to remove the front grill and headlights to change the lamps as there is not enough clearance to get the new bulb and housing in...

Thanks for that. By chance this is who I have ordered the HID headlight replacements from. I will wait until all the various LEDs have arrived and then order any additional ones from here Ian

That looks good. Now you have got me going, I hadn't considered changing the dash lighting.:augie

Just think how much better all that would look on a Patrol!! :D

Having had a couple of lights go recently, I decided to change over to LED's. Seemed simple enough - look on eBay and Amazon, select the right size fitting and colour, order and sit back and wait for them to arrive. - Then find that most of these are in China or other places a long way East and...

Hi Russell, like the yellow springs :) Where in Great Dunmow is the meeting? I would like to come along see what is going on if I get the time. Ian

Thanks for the suggestions. My problem was I could not find the switch. Having just gone out this morning to have another look (3rd time lucky) and still not seen it on the framework around the door, I have just noticed it on the bottom of the small door :doh. Now I have found it, a few seconds...

Thanks for the extra info. I will investigate the Ironman ones to compare with the ARB. On the rear lights, I just found the place I got them from: http://www.japanese4x4parts.co.uk/body-electricals-904-c.asp They fitted straight in.

I agree with the wheels being black, just waiting until I get the higher suspension as I think the current wheels and tyres are going to look too small. Then it will cost me for new wheels and tyres.:( However, I LIKE the side steps and "her indoors" is so short she won't be able to get in once...

As a newbie member, this thread has amused me no end. Talk about poking a wild bear with a stick :lol I would guess Terrano owners outnumber Patrols by quite a bit!! Anyway, just to add to the comments, I have had both and while the Terrano was easier to get in and out of smaller spaces, and...

Thanks for the advise on the bull bars. I want them to protect the front when sliding around in the woods but have been told by several suppliers that it is now illegal. I will now try the "equipment" tack and see if I get further Ian

I have an irritating fault with the light switch on my rear doors. When driving over a bump, the interior lights occasionally flash. I can't even find the switch / sensor on the rear door to see if it has moved or can be adjusted. Anyone had this problem? Anyone know how to find or adjust the...
