Text of the page (random words):
scoveries about him in a previous chapter we mentioned the 3 cup holders in the front and none in the back well we now know that one of the cup holders is adjustable so you can put drinks of varying size in it with no issue adjustable cup holder with the inevitable cold days of the british winter upon us i was very excited with a fully functioning heated steering wheel another added bonus was the super demister that clears not only front and rear screens but also the wing mirrors magic heated steering wheel button at the bottom front and rear demisters the fuel situation is also improving with the mpg slowly creeping up to 21 2 meaning the fuel we put in might last a little longer maybe the 5 working days after a week of no issues our luck had come to an end as two problems occurred at once a message stating the key fob battery was low and also that the coolant was low the battery issue should just be a simple battery replacement but the coolant one is different as it was only just topped up which would suggest a leak somewhere the workshop say they will investigate where or if we have a leak january 21 2023 by phil marshall land rover model car haul pt ii after diving back into the collection of model cars that we bought from an ex employee i came across yet another limited edition find this corgi millennium collection land rover is 1635 out of 3000 there isn t much on the internet about this collection itself and i could only find two other vehicles a q1 trolley bus and a fowler b6 super lion showman s engine from what i can tell the collection is to do with some of the standout vehicles by the time we reached a new millennium if this is the case then what a testament to land rover for being selected on the side of the box we have a shortened version of what was on the 50 years anniversary box we looked at last time the model itself is very similar to the 50 year one however this is a silver version and does have the spare tyre on the bonnet also amongst the boxes of boxes was this gem of a find in the form of a limited edition royal mail land rover 4646 out of 5600 this was one of two limited edition royal mail die cast scale models in 1997 the other being the bedford ca van this land rover is based on a series ii swb that was used by royal mail in the 1960 s for rural deliveries the hardback top is actually removable on this model however i haven t found anything to back up that royal mail ever used it without the top i did however manage to find a photo on pinterest of one in real life and the accuracy of the model is spectacular whilst looking into royal mail s vehicles i found that they used a wide range of land rover s in rural areas the final find for this post is yet another car from a television programme daktari the popular tv show daktari was a drama series in the 1960 s by mgm television the word daktari is actually swahili for doctor and the show was all about a scientist dedicated to the preservation of wildlife in the african jungle this model car is another land rover series ii however without the hard top but with a wonderful jungle livery and the words wameru sub district across the side wameru is the swahili word for the meru an bantu ethnic group this set also comes with the two pets the doctor in the show had judy the chimp and clarence the lion clarence on the show actually had a stunt double on the show called leo who was used for any snarling or ferocious scenes the final fact about this set is that is actually based on an original 1967 corgi daktari set which sold in excess of 1 million units in the seven years it was available three amazing finds in this haul once again showing the amazing diversity of land rover and the cultural impact that the vehicles have had delivering mail and saving the animals of africa january 13 2023 by phil marshall raymond the range rover chapter 7 fixing the issue chapter 7 fixing the issue 18 08 2022 after the ordeal of the last drive raymond was now sat in the workshop so that the technicians could reveal what really happened and just as we had predicted last time the air spring had deflated so now we need to get hold of a new one and then change them over a nice easy job take off the wheels remove the brake discs to reveal the air spring and then disconnect the air spring from under the bonnet then it is a case of placing the new air spring in and reconnecting it putting the car on all fours and hoping that it inflates and without any hesitation raymond rose like a phoenix we also topped up the coolant as it was low we took raymond out for a drive and he feels so much better now gliding over all the bumps smooth as can be it is amazing how one little change can make such a mountain of a difference famous four december 30 2022 by phil marshall raymond the range rover chapter 6 raymond felt deflated chapter 6 raymond felt deflated 16 08 2022 this morning i was on my way to work and everything was going swimmingly until i started to notice that he was pulling to the left i got out after pulling into a layby to check to see if i had a flat tyre no worse notice the gap between the tyre and wheel arch on both sides the entire car had sunk on one side as the front airbag was empty was there a message on the dash to alert me to this life threatening issue of course not i tried to turn the engine on to see if the bag would reinflate it didn t i decided since i was so close to work to drive raymond very carefully the steering was heavy and the ride was particularly bouncy i finally arrived back at famous four and what happens after i put him into park a little fault code pops up on the dash saying suspension inactive just in case i hadn t noticed already thanks raymond famous four december 23 2022 by phil marshall land rover model car haul land rover model car haul working in the niche market of land rovers we get to hear lots of land rover stories and also see lots of unique land rover items recently one of our ex employees was having a bit of a clear out and sold to us some of his collectible land rover models the collection is rather impressive and we will share more but these first three are rather special firstly the one on the left is a corgi originals the new avengers steed s range rover model 57604 and not only contains the hand painted detailed scale model range rover but also includes a figurine of the main character steed this find was released in 2000 as a celebration of the cult 70 s spy television show which is a sequel to the 60 s show the avengers the new avengers was well known for it s use of cars steed the main character was originally known for driving a bentley in the original series but in the sequel would either be seen driving a wide bodied jaguar xj coupe or a 1971 range rover 2 door suffix a in green which is the model corgi decided to create the middle model is a limited edition corgi classics 3879 of only 5900 produced gold plated land rover pickup model 07103 to celebrate the 50 th anniversary of land rover in 1998 on the back of the box there is a brief story of land rover s humble beginnings with the launch all the way back at the amsterdam motor show in 1948 and then there is a little description of what they have managed in the 50 years since particularly in agriculture regarding the model itself having done some research it still remains a mystery to me as to why they chose what appears to be a series i pickup instead of the model that was launched in amsterdam but what i can say is that the model is pretty cool the final and my personal favourite is the corgi fairground attractions land rover and trailer model cc07401 this too is a limited edition being 4024 out of 5000 the fairground attractions collection is a series of vehicles and rides that help to tell the stories of famous fairground companies this particular one tells the story of harris s gallopers whose name brands the land rover siding and how they became a popular fairground company the land rover itself is a series i truck with a custom red and creamy livery these three models are not only three interesting examples of land rover history but also a testament to the diversity in which they can be used espionage farming and entertainment just to name a few december 16 2022 by phil marshall raymond the range rover chapter 5 raymonds second home chapter 5 raymonds second home 05 08 2022 with raymond now driving the mean streets of rural lincolnshire we can explore him a little more in depth he has three cupholders in the front for the two passengers and none in the back for the three passengers makes sense doesn t it also if you want to feel like you are in a spy movie you can lift up the middle console and find hidden away a secret phone yes the thing looks like a brick and as far as i am aware is completely not working but to have it there is pretty cool now the not so good thing about raymond he has decided he has a new favourite hang out spot or as i like to call it his second home due to the amount of time he spends there that place the fuel station and boy does he make you pay for taking him there fourty great british pounds and it moved the fuel gauge to a quarter a quarter all that expensive fuel we lovingly donate to him does he save it and cherish it nope first journey 19 mpg second journey 15 6 mpg third journey was an improvement but still only 20mpg we can t wait for the more inefficient winter months ahead famous four december 2 2022 by phil marshall raymond the range rover chapter 4 the first proper drive chapter 4 the first proper drive 05 08 2022 after all of the new parts and fixing it was finally time to take raymond onto the road was this going to be scary of course but what is life without a bit of unknown adventure i soon settled in and noticed that raymond is actually quite a nice car to drive around in the air suspension means that he floats along the road and pot holes are not even noticeable the interior is comfortable and luxurious with arm rests lumbar support working air conditioning and heated seats not everything is perfect in raymond though firstly he is a big boy like andre the giant big and this means that he drives like a bus the steering feels heavy and the stopping distance is a lot longer than any normal car the temperature gauge is either broken or raymond is ice cold i m going to go with broken though his final issue that i noticed was the next morning when i was due to bring him back i went to get in but i couldn t due to the locks not working i walked around the car tried the key in the door but nothing was working ten minutes later though like an indecisive child raymond decided he did want to work and unlocked himself the joys of a budget l322 have only just begun famous four november 18 2022 by phil marshall raymond the range rover chapter 3 raymond s surgery chapter 3 raymond s surgery 06 07 2022 upon a thorough inspection of the underside of raymond another issue came to light great there was some play in the anti roll bar linkage which means that raymond needs some more new parts trigger s broom springs to mind here one for the only fools fans there so we got to work cutting the broken part out and then attaching a brand new shiny arb link now when one door closes another opens well that may be true in most cases but with raymond doors don t tend to do much at first we thought he just needed a new door card but after more inspection this cheap project needed more new parts in the form of a door release cable we fitted an aftermarket part however this didn t fix the issue so we ended up with a genuine part instead famous four november 4 2022 by phil marshall raymond the range rover chapter 2 raymond gets a facelift chapter 2 raymond gets a facelift 05 07 2022 raymond may be one of the cheapest members of our fleet but that doesn t mean he deserves any less that being said it might be interesting to see how cheaply you can run and maintain a range rover so lets get down to brass tacks raymond needs a lot of work including the brakes the key the smell and that is only scratching the surface what did you expect for under five hundred pounds firstly we have an actual safety concern to contend with the mirrors or more importantly the drivers side wing mirror you would think we can t scrimp and save on something as vital as this well you would be wrong again ebay ten pounds bargain sorting out the brakes had to be the next thing on the list of things to do as both the discs and the calipers were very worn and cracked so lets fit some fresh ones and get raymond stopping as well as he looks final issue for today is the front fog lamp bezels raymond is missing one of the plastic bezels and it makes him look a bit sad now this is purely an aesthetic upgrade as it poses no danger but let s get it done anyway we found these chrome bezels online for twenty five pounds now raymond looks like he s ready to release a rap album famous four october 21 2022 by phil marshall raymond the range rover chapter 1 finding raymond chapter 1 finding raymond 25 05 2022 a sunny may afternoon i received a phone call from a gent who was trying to sell his broken 2003 l322 did it run did it change gear surprisingly the answer to both was yes does that mean that it had dreaded corrosion around the sills and arches the next morning i decided to meet this gentleman as he was only a short distance away when i got there i laid my eyes on raymond for the first time he looked very poorly sat on his haunches broken bits and damage as far as the eye could see raymond was definitely in need of some tlc after a short negotiation a deal was struck and raymond limped to his new home at famous four we put him up on the ramp fully expecting the ramp to go right through the jacking points but lo and behold raymond held tough like ashford and simpson he is solid however that is where the tale turns a little sour it is probably easier for me to tell you what was working rather than the list of problems but here goes brake pipes and flexi s brake discs and pads two rear tyres a front light driver s
