Had half the range rover dash out to replace the blend motor. not to bad a job but once you install the new motor and then look at all the bits on the back seat you soon realise it's gonna be sometime before you get back in the house  :-[

Cheers Al, I took them off to grind them, but the inside of both were bad (advisories last year), so I'll get them done (its my spare Omega anyway, so not a problem). :y

That's the "Scream if ya wanna go faster" pedal  :D

I'm also fitting a short-shift gear lever so there'll be no porridge stirring on this one  ;)
