particularly that 'step'

That is at the forefront of my mind !

Mr S1 · Feb 9, 2018

I might have....I'll check

DaveyGTi · Feb 9, 2018

There's a bit of a network around that last lane we did that dropped down into Hindhead and a few others in the area, yeah the 'step' was good fun could start around there and then cover some new ground too

Dunno 'bout that....

Did like the step.
Anyone want to take a guess what this is, it came out my gearbox when i changed oil. Dosent look like it has sheared/broken at all all sides are machined. Some kind of key? All seems to work ok without it. Nice and smooth now i have changed oil too.

looks like a sipper pad from a synchro hub, it would need cleaning to be positive

Cheers, that makes alot of sense as did have issues with scncro on a couple of gears but seems ok now changed oil.

@Mr S1
Was wondering anything ever come of the go pro footage?

Mr S1 · Feb 11, 2018

Yes ! I have it loaded onto my computer (and it's good!) but getting it onto YouTube ?

Struggling....

The rear silencer on my 110 has broken loose. I'm not looking to put a S/S system on at this time as I'm saving pennies for the Series 2 rebuild. John Craddock Spares and Paddock Spares have the mild steel systems but both seem to be Britpart. Anyone have experience of Britpart exhausts ? Is there a better alternative supplier someone has used ?

I tend to use Bearmach for repro parts, seem to be ok quality, try island 4x4 at Maidstone or Crafted Ovals in tenterden, both do mail order, got a blower motor from islands with free next day delivery.

Get from a proper parts place. Get Bosal or something - won’t be much more but will be better.

I had a britpart back box before the tdi and the baffles came loose in it within a few months.

DaveyGTi · Feb 14, 2018

Or just run a bit of pipe straight out the back!

Steve Noakes · Feb 14, 2018

Thanks for the feedback, I'll do some surfing and avoid the Britpart stuff

dieseldog69 · Feb 15, 2018

The last one that turned up for my Disco was a BritPart special but it had an embossed BOSAL silencer, that came from Rimmer Bros, good price too.

Does everyone want me to sort a route or does someone else want a go?

You did a great job with that last route mate would be great if you wanted to plan another one.

I bought two new SD cards for the camera and a new suction mount for the camcorder to stick on the bottom of the windscreen, my action cam records sound but no video the useless thing, was OK when I had it under the drone last time

Just gotta test drive my Disco after the output bearings and good to go

Just gotta find and fit an aerial for the cb, fitted it already but not found a mount that I like that fits where I want to fit it.

I went for a Bearmach system in the end, arrived today and look good. Heavy gauge steel and 3 year warranty. complete system for £110. And the weekend looks good weather perfect for crawling under the old girl. Wire brush and underseal at the ready to keep the chassis coated whilst I'm there
