My lease was finalised today so a limited edition Nara Bronze 110 will be gracing my driveway in May,it's got a march build date but it's not all joy as my fantastic Tdi will go to make way for it.The Puma has BIG shoes to fill,the Tdi is the best vehicle I've ever had period. Pat

I'm not going the way of the Tdi with heavy bars-springs etc,I want to keep the nice ride by staying with the original springs but will fit Koni's when the shocks give up.I'm getting a 120ltr main tank with the wheel arch sub tank,Drivesafe will earn some with headlight,driving light kits,dual battery set-up,tow bar,mantec gear like air intake and winch bumper.I'm going to sell my warn 8274 and go a low mount.I don't want a bush basher but a comfortable tourer.

Stig,have you found out if I can reprogram my L322's auto box?,I don't want it to change into top until it's doing 80km/hr.I forgot to add that I don't like lights in front of the rad so I'm fitting a roof bar with the lights on it instead. Pat

nar mate not with our gear, there is a place in syd called ZF autos aus that are a auto box specialist that are very good, i did my LR auto box training there, they can reprogram and change rates in the valve block, so id say thats your best bet,

All relative to where you live. I really like the bronze, but that black roof would make it an oven up here.

Thats why land rover make the seats to close to the door making it a requirement for the driver to drive with the window down and their arm hanging out a bit. That way the driver never knows how bad the aircon is because they never get to use it :D

That's because with all the cleverly designed gaps in all door and sunroof seals we always have cross ventilation and sometimes even indoor showers to cool off in.
