    Upgrade the Shift interrupt switch

    Sorry for the delay, boat lovers After getting the boat to do as it was told I tried it on the water and it just needed a slight tweak. Then the Range Rover went into limp mode on the way home. It’s still waiting for a new part. Maybe I’ll get on the Caledonian canal next year Watch this space 😛

    Upgrade the Shift interrupt switch

    Hi there boat lovers I’m getting the idea that my shift interrupt switch is causing my stiff gear change but my old interrupt switch has two switches and the new one only has the one. Will this work and what do I do with the spare wires from the unused switch? Cheers 🍻 Dave

    Water in the drive shaft bellow

    Moving on with my repair I have split and drawn off the gearbox and slackened the bellows before removing the swivel from the gimbal the section of the large bellow shows it was badly fitted. This has left the universal joint rusty but as it uses sealed bearings I think it’s survived. Not like...
