Well Jamie sounds like you have been well busy, Hope things get better soon. Landys are well known to break down at the worst possible point.

DB I'm all set to collect this trailer Sat morning, so will be ready for you here Saturday evening after I get the disco back to my place. Jai

Cheers Jai. Maybe something to do with the Jap engines and the fact that the driver is a complete nutcase :D it still runs but is going through fuel like its going out of fashion :eek:

Yes I'm sure it will be back, like a kung fu kick slap, but at the moment it really isn't firing on all cylinders ;) It may have been more hurt by that last trip back from Whaddon than we originally thought!

Kind of makes me want to buy a 12v pressure washer for those situations where one isn't provided, or when it is broken like the last time at Whaddon...

Methinks you're right Booger. The drive home from Whaddon was a bit of an adventure (not a mini one). Def need a pressure washer for sure too! Can't rely on any of these moody washers they have at the pay n plays or some petrol stations.
 
It all seems a bit complicated

This seems to be the most powerful 12v one avail, http://www.mobiwasher.co.uk/shop/ but it don't look that hot. It claims to go up to 130psi, but my gut feeling is it wont be as powerful as the electric baby K'archer which only claims 100psi, of course I have no proof of this :D The baby K'archers will run off inverters, but that's more dosh.

Mabi the mobi would do the radiator ?

The proper petrol ones cost like 700 squid, wonder how much people would pay to wash their vehicles at Pay N' Play :rolleyes:
 
I use a little Karcher at home ... cost about £50 from a supermarket, lasted about three years and numerous mountain bike and Landrover washes, as well as patio etc etc. Still going strong. At work we have a £1200 petrol washer that I use once a year for the drains etc, and in comparison it's ****e .. the Karcher is easier to handle, easier to use and with the right nozzle almost as powerful, just takes longer to do an area. Major difference is volume of water shifted and the petrol one can be taken anywhere, and fed from any water source with a pick-up hose.

... but I wouldn't spoend that much myself unless it was going to earn it's way!!

Well Jamie all the best. P.s if you need any Disco bits shout, Picking up a Disco shell courtesy of Mr V today will get stripped at a later date for rest of the trim bits that are in (Marine Blue) then the engine and gearbox may well be donated to my dads 109. P.s Also picking up a Series III chassis and bulkhead today that needs work that may end up being a trialler if it gets back together. So I think its gonna be a Busy day ahead I believe Jai
