Thread: Embarrassment

You guys beat me too it. Then again I could say anything with a plastic grill is not a real land rover
Seriously though aus - once your transmission is fixed it will do you for quite a few years.

Thats it i'm getin rid of me grill i'll get one off of a series 2a,,...

Yeah talk about plastic, you didn't notice Banjo but even the front mudguards on the FL1 are plastic, don't know why they did that. Anyway I sent another EMail with a question regarding the Low Level coolant sensor and they haven't answered. They quoted $180 delivered to the door, and there is full fitting instructions, as I said before ALL4X4 wanted $200 for one plus $200 to fit, can't be that hard to fit. I will get the tranny out of the way and then look at it, anybody who knows FL1's recommends the fitting of a low level alarm. Have you got one fitted to your series? To answer your question Paul, the motor has been rebuilt before we bought it, thats the main reason why we decided to rebuild the tranny, otherwise we would have unloaded it, motor runs like a dream.

Funny you say that Jason - I really like the late 2a (Lights in guard) grill.
(Like Rangier Rovers ex Leyland Bros one below.)



They aren't that common so not easy to find. I'll get one eventually - looks much better than the silly rattly plastic thingo. I love the look of the older ones like my S1 above.

Hey, old AYI077 there is another thread here on that isn't there?
