Stage 1 V8

.

Odometer reading 8175 miles. Alice is still a joy to drive, bringing a smile to my face everytime I put the key into the ignition!! I've had her full to the top with stuff, towed just under 3.5ton with her, carried 12 people all without any issues at all. Interior is now all fitted, along with the h...

Hello. The work that needs to be done to make the standard series swivel fit is realtivly minor. All you need to do is to grind of the sharp edge where the inside of the swivel ball has been machined. I used the CV joint as a guide to see how much needed taking off. In the pics in the thread I put u...

Alice (My Stage 1) says hi from Leicestershire

Post Christmas job. Fit La Salle interior!! Has anyone else had some experience of fitting this trim? I've got a new head lining, door cards and rear trim panels to fit when I've got some spare time. Have covered just over 2000 miles since Alice returned to the road, list of jobs is now mounting, wi...

Alice wishes Kate 'Good Luck' for the re test, and we hope to see you on the road soon.

Well I have now covered nearly 800 miles since Alice passed her MOT and so far it has been a very interesting journey getting to know her particular quirks! Supermarket car parks are quite a challenge!!! The only technical difficulty has been an oil leak from the rear axle which was an easy fix. Fue...

Nothing planned that far ahead for that weekend.........yet but would fancy a trundle over so I'll put it in the diary. On a slightly different note - I was thinking on joining the Series 3 club, just wondered what there like as a club?

Hi CaptainSlow, The standard battery box might just squeeze in two small batteries, but their capacity would be so small it wouldn't be worth the effort. Check out http://www.yrm-metal-solutions.co.uk/epages/BT4822.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/BT4822/Products/063/SubProducts/063-0001 I have bought a ...

Thought that I would put up these pics of both my creations. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/698/21770614824_b316198b2f_z.jpg 20151018_153954 by Spencer , on Flickr https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5747/22404169131_bd4800f9a4_z.jpg 20151018_154012 by Spencer , on Flickr The Leightweight (known as 'The ...

The exhaust headers and manifolds are standard 3.9 EFI By using the 3.9 EFI manifolds and headers you get the best set up possible. (4 into 2 into 1) and all the same length. It was this setup that my father in law (John Eales) took Landrover to the Dakar rally with, although the manifolds were not ...

Sit rep..... It has been nearly 4 years since I saw Alice (as she is now known) on Ebay and bought her there and then without looking at her. It was only when I was making arrangements to collect her that I found out she was in Scotland :shock: Yesterday saw the culmination of the long slog as she f...
