Just fitting the towing electrics today and noticed that the rubber fuel hose from the filler to tank was wet with fuel. When I cleaned it I noticed that it swivelled on the back of the filler. Is this normal or is it loose. Normal as in a safety feature in that it's not rigid.

If so then I'll put it on the list of jobs for warrenty work. So far it's just that and the rear door has dropped slightly and a rear window rattles.
Otherwise after 3k miles it's going OK 110 D250 SE HT

I had mine into the dealer for the window rattle and they had them replaced - both sides. Thing is the new ones are worse and now that she has been offroad and had some mud thrown up they now have that scratchy/screeching noise when closed or open Evil or Very Mad

Front A bars were all bought by LANDROVERMAN down near taunton somewhere !

I have just purchased one from him.

I think he has both the Winch and un winched version "so to speak" Also a couple with the side extender bits on that mount to the front wing.

If it helps anyone

Well it's back to the dealers for a second time tomorrow. Last time they sorted the rear door, handbrake light perm on but failed to sort the leak in the rear. During damp weather the rear windows steam up straight away, even to the point of having to demist the rear window twice in the 25mile journey home from the dealer after they had fixed the leak. Under the rear carpet is soaked and the carpet is beginning to smell. Dried the car out for 2 days, everywhere was bone dry, next bout of damp weather and it's soaking wet again.
At least I get a nice D3 to drive for a week 110 D250 SE HT

Just had to give the D3 back Sad . Got my 90 back though all fixed so I'm happy again. Clunk in drivetrain was loose propshaft bolts Shocked . Leak was tested on their leak machine, no leak found. They then removed all the rear carpet and seats. Put it back on the machine and found the leak. Apparently some rivets were missing/loose and some mounting bolts were loose as well. But all sorted now. Ready for a trip to the Pyranees in a couple of weeks time Very Happy Very Happy 110 D250 SE HT

Need to fit a CB to my 90 now ready for my European jaunt in a couple of weeks. Where is the best place to fit the antenna without drilling holes and damaging the paint. I thought of a mag mount on the front bumper but how to route the cable in, not had a real close look at the bulkhead to see about threading a cable through. 110 D250 SE HT

Now seriously tempted to buy a new Mantec RAI before I go away. Where is doing the deals at the moment. If it was worthwhile I could wait till Eastnor to get it but I go the following weekend so time would be tight but if the saving is to be made I would wait. 110 D250 SE HT
