Thanks for the comments guys. Yes the problems are only small and now it has had some mapping done it sounds much better and with throttle bodies and a race flywheel it picks up instantly, a bit too quick at times and you need a deft touch on the throttle. I am going to take it to a rolling road...

Well Guys and Gals the day finally arrived. I had a whole day off-roading in the project. There are a few issues that need sorting, there are some areas of the ECU map that still need attention (the odd flat spot) and the brake pedal position needs altering. It seemed ok in the workshop but once...

Am I going to make one. I have just about finished the ALRC project, haven't decided what to build next. Perhaps a series. and yes lots of hours have gone into that Disco.

I do like this https://www.flickr.com/photos/42893413@N08/sets/72157649280987761/ , some impressive workmanship. I nearly had a job at the San Diego LR main dealer and they had regular weekend off-road picnics. The nearest off-road playground was 30 miles by 10 miles, plus lots of old trails...

As Kwakerman says concentrate on one thing, seeing as loads of stuff goes off at the same time I would be starting at the main fuse box in the engine bay. fuse link 1 feeds the interior lights plus loads of other stuff so get your meter ready and next time it happens start there. Fuse link 1 is...

Yes it is satisfying when it starts, very frustrating when it won't. Megasquirt is an interesting project on it's own but there is alot to learn. Dave can keep his in one piece, the coil pack on mine was ok it was the coil driver circuit that I had built that was giving me trouble after I had...

Well it finally starts, I haven't set the timing, the mixture or balanced the ITB's but it runs.

They dug out 250 - 300 mm, there was two 3 ton diggers a dumper and a 8 wheeler grab lorry and it took 3 1/2 days. The hitch on the truck is quite stiff, I think it just takes out the sting.

I had the front dug out also, I can park my truck and 3 cars on the front. Yes the hitch is like an indespension, it is very stiff when you stand on it but apparrently they work and protect your caravan body mounts from fracturing.

Thats a cool looking setup, get down too Marrakesh. Though Harlech Castle is very interesting, reputedly one of the finest castles ever built and very interesting to have a tour round, make you realise what a hellish proposition attacking it was and the surrounding area is just great.

About time I updated this. I have had the motor running and driven it a short distance, however one of the ign coil drivers has packed in so I have taken the ECU to bits to fit a new one. I haven't done much else because as you can see we have dug out for a new drive and shipped in 140 tons of...

Your very lucky with that one, 2A's are my fav and I will be looking for one once I have finished the current project. I hope I can fine one as good as yours.

Don't go changing anything yet. Get the fault code read first and go from there. The best way to test air bags is to run the engine until the car has leveled out, switch off, shut all doors, open the tail door, jack up under the tow bar about 2 inch then remove the jack and shut the tail door...

It's good to see a few leafer trials springing up.

Jai I will get the definative answer on your roll bar Of Dennis (Logbook secretary) I take it the tag has been removed, do you know the old number or have the old book.

A friend of mine is coming with a few GoPros complete with steady cams and car mounts, he wants to make a short film. I'm sure we could have a LZ section. Jai get your motor CCV and Comp ready I will bring my Log Book stuff with me and do it for you. You do have 4 months and 10 days, even finish...

Ah, I have just been too a club committee meeting they said the comp was flat and very muddy but that the trial site is good. It is about a 6 hour drive to get there, I have booked time off work so I think I will go, asuming I have got the trialer started lol.

Have you been too Copford farm before, I was wondering what it was like. I think the last National there was 2005.

Killajoules are you going to the National ?

It will live round the back next to my workshop, I have lent my lad my car as his is off the road so i am going to work in the truck till he gets it mended. As for a 4x4, if I get stuck at an event a few 80's will pull it out
