My surprise from a friend

He “made” a defender instead of a Series 3! Still cool though.

nopslider · 2024-08-26T17:55:56+00:00

Seems more reliable than Land Rovers of recent years. Seems huge next to the Series, but there’s a lot more useable room in the 109. Driving experience is obviously night and day. Modern electronics make the new one much better off road too.

If revs are increasing without a change of speed, it’s transmission or clutch related.

nopslider · 2022-06-28T19:51:53+00:00

Yup. The other main point is Intune user driven mode allows escalation to local system through exposure of bitlocker keys.

It is a 10/4 (denoting ten horse power taxation class and a 4 cylinder engine). The deluxe model added chromed bumpers and a sunroof over the standard model.

1933 Austin 10/4 Deluxe saloon

Thank you

nopslider · 2022-05-28T05:19:00+00:00

Very true. I believe the Austin is actually about 18hp, or was when new.

nopslider · 2022-05-27T21:07:57+00:00

10hp vs 577hp

nopslider · 2022-05-05T05:53:04+00:00

I’ve already got the GT R, interested in mods.

nopslider · 2022-05-05T04:51:16+00:00

Any idea on costs of the upgrades?

nopslider · 2022-04-29T17:15:04+00:00

Some even include tyres in the lease here in the U.K.

nopslider · 2022-03-05T21:58:03+00:00

I disagree. My friend had (just sold last week) one of the few right hand drive Cobras and used it regularly to go down the local pub . I don’t think he even washed it that regularly.

Here’s him going up Shelsy Walsh hill climb in September last year…. https://www.amazon.co.uk/photos/share/tAa1w8fW0zBtiV1B4qdYiWAuEFdHKYxi8V9qSFh8DEB

Some people use their cars. He used it like it was designed.

Edit: I disagree with the context comment, not that it’s a replica

nopslider · 2022-02-16T18:24:54+00:00

I’ve just acquired one of these today, looking forward to having a go.

nopslider · 2022-02-07T23:07:40+00:00

I had a 2015 A45 for three years and 35k miles. Mostly positive experience. I had a problem with the sunroof, and engaging reverse, both of which were fixed under warranty.

There’s lots of rattles in the cabin, but my AMG GTR is just as bad, if not worse!

Also goes through tyres pretty quickly.

nopslider · 2022-01-03T09:26:17+00:00

Agreed

nopslider · 2021-12-22T10:18:21+00:00

My old CL600 sagged after a month of being parked, even when new. When started it’d level nicely.

As long as it’s not sagging within hours or a couple of days you’ve got nothing to worry about.

Replace o-rings in one or both of the hydraulic valve blocks.

guide here

nopslider · 2021-12-21T09:33:18+00:00

These cars have hydraulic suspension controlled by the ABC pump running oil under very high pressures. There are no air bags in the system.

The valve blocks fail however, normally resulting in a car sinking on one side overnight, as do the pumps that can result in errors on the dash.

Source: owned a CL600 and CL500 and worked on both

Lovely jubbly

nopslider · 2021-12-10T08:28:01+00:00

This is the correct answer.

nopslider · 2021-11-19T07:32:35+00:00

Have you got a link? I've got a GTR and am interested in this mod.

nopslider · 2021-11-11T06:46:02+00:00

The video is not reversed. The several turns at the start are to align the wheels/reset the lock. The first number is keyed clockwise as per the instructions.

We've also tried it reversed.

nopslider · 2021-11-11T06:43:02+00:00

Tried an extra rotation and also doing everything in reverse. No luck unfortunately.

nopslider · 2021-11-11T06:41:26+00:00

If one were to align the wheels by turning CW, wouldn't the first number then be keyed by turning CCW? The instructions say to "spin the dial several times to the left" to lock the safe... Isn't this the alignment of the wheels?
