The fun begins

[Ean Austral]

Gday All,

well picked up the Rangie and was impressed with it on the drive from the old owners place to our shed. The V8 was a lot better than I expected and the 5sp was smooth thru the changes, everything bar a couple things work so that's even better. The sunroof still worked [thumbsupbig]

So a couple of questions if I could , I have searched but lots of varying answers.

Tyres 205r16 ? this is new to me , not sure on the profile.

rear windows don't work but the motors are ok - known issue ??

other than the roof lining , a good service and cut and polish the old girl is in pretty good nick [biggrin][biggrin][biggrin]

Cheers Ean

[rick130]

Noice.

Oh, and Ean, you knows the rules!

BTW, the original tyres were 205R/16.
I think the aspect ratio was around the 78-80% mark.

I've discovered a couple of classics mouldering away under ripped tarps only about 5km away from me on a Macadamia farm.
I have no idea how far gone they are.

Anyway Ean, [emoji991] [emoji38]

[101RRS]

Oh, and Ean, you knows the rules!

But the silly old duffer doesn't know how to post pics [biggrin].

So Ean that is your first job before you pic up the RRC (you know the rules you haven't picked it up yet as there are no pcs) is to sort out your pic posting abilities. [bigsmile1]

Good luck with that [bigrolf]

Regarding the windows - If you're getting power to the motors and the motors work, the mechanisms will all be gunked up and probably the motor gearboxes too. I cleaned all the runners, motor gearboxes and lube the slides up with some silicon spray on mine which took them from very slow/stopped to all working fine.

And yes, where are the pics? 😉

[Ean Austral]

Sticker say Trocadero red . gave it a cut and polish , came up good except the roof and the rear drivers side panel.

[101RRS]

Nope - cannot see any pics - just the grey dots.

No pics so hasn't happened yet.

GarryOdd, I could and can still see them on both, but I can't post off my laptop atm and can't work out why!

[trout1105]

I can only see grey dots with a "-" in them, Is it a PC/Mac thing?

[rick130]

And I just opened the laptop and no piccies either, but I can see them on the phone!

At least I can post again from the 'puter, I have no idea why it's suddenly working
?

Anyway, it's a really nice Rangie Ean. :thumbsup:

Nope .

Can you just upload them straight off your computer gallery instead of a hosting site ?

This what majority of us do with no issue`s [thumbsupbig]

[101RRS]

So this poor old RRC is getting all lonely because Ean hasn't picked him up yet.

Remember it hasnt happened without pics [thumbsupbig]

I suppose this just proves that everyone's reality is different! [emoji23]

Ok
When posting look at the helpful help bar above what your posting and look for the paper clip (ATTACHMENTS) File upload Manager [wink11]
(Add Files) in a box to the right and clicky[thumbsupbig]

[Meccles]

I don’t use AULRO or hosting Flickr etc sites. I find easiest way is using tapatalk when you are viewing AULRO and add or create a new subject/ reply and tick the attachments it links direct to original photo which gets uploaded. I’ve given up on actual AULRO as it requires small file size or links to 3rd party file sharing.

[bee utey]

Well I can see a gorgeous red Rangie, so there's that. [bigsmile]


And now the piccies are all goooone........ [bigsad]

Seriously, using "manage attachments" isn't that hard. Open the dialogue box, click on "add files" then "browse" and look for the picture on your computer. Once you've done that just click "upload". Once that's done, down the bottom corner of the dialogue box is "insert inline" or "done", either will result in a photo hanging off your post.

And once you've uploaded the photos as attachments you can click on them and insert them in your post in the normal way by editing the post.

Every single Pic that I've uploaded to AULRO in 16 odd years---

is still here.[smilebigeye]

unlike my PC,, thats dissolved my pics several times.[bighmmm]


Pics uploaded to "Your Gallery" are stored with the same importance as all AULRO post/files.




If you have Pics of your Favourite Landrover that you might want to refer to in ten years or so,,
you could do a LOT worse than add it to YOUR Gallery,, [wink11]

[Ean Austral]

So has it worked ?

[Homestar]

Yep. [emoji106]

[bee utey]

Yup. Now edit your post to do this:

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/attachments/classic-range-rover/142698d1532859589-fun-begins-img_2648-1-.jpg

Oh and for some reason you need to uncheck the "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" button, no idea why but it works that way.

[pop058]

Yep. [emoji106]

and that a yep from me too [thumbsupbig]

[Ean Austral]

Well i'll be. 3 different computers , 3 hosting sites and the answer was here all the time.[bawl][bawl][bawl]

Very excited to read this! My County's rear wiper is like that, sluggish, tries to wipe but never quite gets there without some help...looks like I've found this afternoon's project [bigsmile1]

Overall a Nice tidy RRC .... great score.

BTW .... what year is it Ean.

Baggy

1990 ,plate says 11/89 so I will claim 1990.

Im happy with what I have seen , just been used as a farm hack so needs a good clean up , seems rust free from what I have seen so far. The only thing left to come out from the interior is the roof lining and the dash. I think the dash can stay but the roof lining is in a bad saggy way. Other than a bucket full of hay and a few mummified locast's the interior is in good nic.

Very happy for what I paid.

Cheers Ean
