My neighbour is on the look out for a 130 Tipper for his Tree Surgery business as he is sick of expensive parts for his current vehicles. We are off up to the Defender Centre in a couple of weeks to have a look at their range of tippers. Would be nice if he does buy one as we will then have three land Rovers in our street. A 90, One Ten and a 130.

This was its first year and it looks promising. The off-road course looked excellent, there were a good number of trade stands including some of the big names and lots of auto jumble.

Quite a few clubs had exhibts there as well and there was plenty to see.

I have uploaded a new gallery with a stack of photographs at: http://landroveroneten.com/index.php/land-rover-gallery/

Available in a range of anodised colours, the main body is a fully welded steel construction with a resilient powder coat finish. The fronts are made from 2mm aircraft grade aluminium which can be easily cut or drilled to your specific requirements if required or supplied blank.

Raptor supply different layouts as well as blank plates that can be drilled and cut to your own requirements. They also offer a cutting service from your own drawings.

Feedback on the forums gives these a thumbs up and Phil from Raptor is a land Rover enthusiast who gives these a life time guarantee!

The car firms latest filed accounts show they have secured a £600m bank facility that will enable them to keep trading until the end of next year.

JLR were within days of defaulting on loans when it negotiated an extension which will hopefully secure hundreds of jobs at its Halewood plant

JLR was within days of defaulting on its loans before it negotiated an extension with its syndicate of more than 20 banks.

JLR is still hoping the government will underwrite a £340m European Investment Bank loan which will be used to develop new models such as the 60 miles per gallon LRX concept vehicle.

I must admit that as with most UK law, it is a minefield out there and you would have to be a lawyer to fully understand the rules. Add to this the UK Police force who seem to be able to make up the rules to suit themselves and you have a situation where even the good honest UK driver can fall foul and end up with points on their licence.

More information can be found here: UK Trailer rules and regulations

Please note that the MOT has changed to now cover the towing point. More details to follow.

If you have anything to add, please do leave a comment as I would like this to be a comprehensive guide to towing a trailer.

The significantly revised and updated models feature new refined and powerful engines, completely redesigned interiors and a host of new technologies – all of which ensure greater customer value. The pricing structure will reflect the increase in the level of specification over the predecessor 2009 MY products.

The new 2010 model year line-up will all be on show at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this coming weekend from July 3-5. Land Rover will be offering Festival goers test drives of the Freelander 2 TD4_e, the world’s first SUV with intelligent stop-start technology – around the Goodwood estate, and will showcase its vehicles’ supreme capabilities on ‘Terrapod’ – the man-made off-road demonstration unit.

New pricing is as follows:

There were some lovely old Land Rovers as well as old trucks, a massive Russian Ural and many vintage bikes.

The Jumble started at 10am but we didn’t pitch up until an hour and a bit later as I really needed some extra sleep. By the time we did get there, people were already leaving after having nabbed some good bargains so I think next year I will get there on time.

There were more stalls than last year, with 3 big rows and some extra stalls round the top of the field. The usual range of bits were on sale from indicator lenses all the way up to complete gearboxes, trailers and Land Rovers.  I saw a nice double axle flatbed trailer with winch for £800. I didn’t look too closely in case I was tempted so can’t vouch for the condition but it looked pretty good.

As usual there were some lovely vehicles in the car park and dotted around. Although there were also some hideous monsters there as well.
