Re: landrover safer than you think!

Speaking of safe landrovers, Oban Coastguard team did a recent crash test on their 110

interesting exhaust modification there.

It is for when they launch what is left of the boat, stops the water getting in...

What actually happened to cause that 'unusual' parking position of both vehicle and boat?

AFAIK, and I have been chatting about this to one of the H&S guys at HMCG, there can sometimes be a 'wobble' depending on side winds, and this can cause a jack-knife, resulting in the need for new tyres, rear wing, exhaust, and trousers. This might not have been the case here though, I really don't know the facts

It looks like a jack-knife and spin to me. new trousers all-round

On or around Thu, 01 Apr 2004 14:18:07 +0100, Mr.Nice. enlightened us thusly:

that's how I read it.

Are you shure this was not the Oban Distillery Team ???

Peetr R.

It wouldn't take them long just to take the back windows out of mine, there is not that much left holding them in.

I have a large metal tool container in the back (courtesy of B&Q,) with a padlock for anything obviosly nickable because you can open the back door with a screwdriver like you say.

There is always the Mr Bean solution of padlocking the doors :)

So actually I could just buy a *rear* door handle? I assume internals are the same?

BTW, I also assume I'll be breaking numerous little plastic things taking the door trim off? Where can I order them from (over the web as I'm in France)

Cheers, G

can you not re-attach the old handle, connect it to the mechanism minus the lock?

Machine mart also sell some nice locking toolboxes. Ive bolted one of them down in my back tub. I make sure i chuck everything in it. I dont generally bother locking the doors anymore. No point with a ragtop on. I think one of my projects for the next month or 2 will be to install some sort of heavy duty transfer lever lock that wedges it in neutral.

Thanks everyone, so you can disregard what I said.

... as per usual.

Nope, unfortunately not. Handle is in bits but somehow still clinging to the door.
