I have a jerry can, But it is full and there's no room in me tank! :doh:

I shall txt you my number and if you would be so kind to send me your address i shall see you in the morning at about 10/11 O clock time.

I have a spare wheel bearing set and a set of UJ's to hand.

Morning Spydie!! How's you?

Good thanks Kev. I've managed 25.2 mpg average so far, which is much better than I expected to get, so all is good. Sun has been shining. Walk on Charmouth beach this morning with the dog, sea was like a mill pond. Back home tomorrow, give the Scooby a bit more stick on the way back.

B3aker · Apr 24, 2011

Well... how's this for a laugh...

Kai has done both wheel bearings this weekend... fine fella that he is. I thought it best to take the motor out and test it so we went out and about over toward leighton buzzard...

70 mph... pas pump siezes and melts through drive belts. Now have no alternator or cooling and need a pas pump to fit before rthe belts anyhow...

Have a pump waiting over at ware... but can not drive the motor to get there... (if anyone os over that way this weekend I would be very grateful for a shout! Not on my phone though cos that's bleedin' knackered n'all.

Other than that the weekend's going well!

I told you this will happen lol hope you get it sorted fella for the trip.

Wish evey1 going Wales all the best and hope you have a good time and wish I was going :-( maybe next time

jai_landrover · Apr 24, 2011

I hate people who say "I told you so"

I knew it was a possibility but was trying to hold on until I could get the replacement from Ware. If I can angle a lift over there tomorrow I should be able to get the motor going again pretty sharpish and still be in with a shout for next weekend maybe.

Oh dear... that's the first time I've seen Jai's 90 and the word "speed" in the same sentence!

Well I was wondering if we were going to see more than 40mph

I reckon its probably capable of a higher top speed than yours atm

I think he changed his transfer box since then to a higher ratio? Might be wrong

I don't mind sitting at 40, get cracking fuel ecconomy

, probly only sit at 50 - 55 anyways

jai_landrover · Apr 24, 2011

.can sit at 55 60 all day long hopefully my fuel lasts longer then last time! I have swapped my tranny box and its approx 20 percent higher geared than last time!!

landroverjack · Apr 24, 2011

40 means 4th gear realistically so I reckon you could get better economy at 48 or so

Plus it might take you a few light years to get to wales

B3aker · Apr 24, 2011

Na just abouve tick over at 40 for me in 5th.
That aint too bad, can live with that

At least it wont drink like a V8 now.
