M.O.T
Right Guys had the M.O.T done today and all was fine except a slight play in the nearside front wheel bearing it passed Bow down and he just gave me an advisory on the bearing....I've had it done 2 weeks before the warranty runs out so any issues L/R can sort it...Has anybody had theirs done... or is anybodies due? if so get it done 2 weeks before the M.O.T is due and if it fails get L/R to fix it Whistle NEVER TAKE LIFE SERIOUSLY.

Good point Fekete, I was nearly at MOT point before swapping my April 07 for my new 110. I would of not thought of doing that so you've probably saved a few owners some money Thumbs Up

Also getting it done 2 weeks before does not mean you lose 2 weeks... As the M.O.T machine postdates it from when you should have it done. Happy days Thumbs Up NEVER TAKE LIFE SERIOUSLY. NOBODY GETS OUT ALIVE ANYWAY

fekete, i'm surprised that with your "non standard" tyre choise land rover don't blame every problem on there size, and speaking of size, spotted you earlyer in the week Shocked have you put wheel spacers on as well or was it just the fact that i was in a normal work car, your tyres look more out than inside your wheel arches, very cool i must add, just wish i could stump up the cash to upgrade from the GG and boost alloys.

Hey they try to ...I rang about a wheel bearing before and was expecting its your wheels... but nothing Surprised
It goes in on the 27th for 2 weeks for a new bulk head Whistle I try and deal with Alex he knows what he's on about and i've got a good relationship with him... every one else says its because of your wide wheels, i just say you have done warranty work with them on before and they just pull a face Rolling with laughter
Anyway the wheels are without spacers Thumbs Up NEVER TAKE LIFE SERIOUSLY. NOBODY GETS OUT ALIVE ANYWAY

bulkhead
fekete good evening. Thumbs Up

what is the reason for the bulkhead replacement? Obvious answer is rust but wondering how you got to this stage. mine is starting to show through where there appears to have been some stone chips. dealer over here needs major persuasion to tackle these type of things. told me today couldnt find any gtr reference to a gear selector rattle though i'm sure that there have been a few posts here to contradict that opinion! Whistle

all info greatly appreciated.

Hi bud...the reason for the new Bulkhead is its well rusty and they are going to take the dash out first to see how bad it is. then they are going to get their body shop to send L/R the pics but with the amount of rust i want it replacing.. the reason why is if i come to sell the truck and someone gets on to a repair i would be Censored . L/R just need to see the damage to except the warranty but it will be replaced Thumbs Up with the gear selector they will never tell you there is an issue you just have to keep on at them Thumbs Up NEVER TAKE LIFE SERIOUSLY.

Ah! I hadn't realised the warranty lasted 6 years for corrosion - are you certain? I'll get them to thoroughly treat my rear X member in the 71st month, then!
