Ok i'll stick with my 12 degrees then. Reason I asked was I bought a Shiney new electronic distributor at Beaulieu at the weekend so I'm going to have to do the timing again. I'm all for keeping things original and I've been running points for ages but I was offered the whole kit at a price I...

Hi All, I just thought I would check on this. When I set up my timing to the standard 6 degrees btdc it's pretty gutless. I'm able to advance it up to 12 degrees before pinking. Does this sound right? I'm not using the pulley marks. I've marked tdc and I'm using my electronic timing light...

Yeah thats basically the way I felt about it. The Sort out was right off in the far end Un-mown field. I did get a couple of parts but I paid the difference to get there and eat at lunch time. Where are the good landy auto jumbles? if any.

I have to say I was a little dissapointed. There was maybe 15-20 (land rover parts) sellers in a massive field. I only ticked one item off of my shopping list. It's the first time I've been. Is it always like this or was it a poor turn out? The auto jumble was pretty big. Ideal if you want...

I saw the pic and thought... hmm yeah thats a bit slack. Then I saw the Vid...... bloody ell !!

Got one more pic of the back if it helps. Hinged wheel carrier, spotlight and maybe a bright orange aerial still attached. Roof rack.

Makes me so angry. This ones quite a distinctive landy peeps. Keep a look out.

UCR lane Only got the one short clip Steve, doesn't really show how leany it was either. Anyone going to the Sodbury sort out this weekend at Beaulieu?

I ordered mine from Rimmers and it all turned up as Britpart. Nothing fitted correctly. I had to bend the downpipes to get them to fit without leaking. They give you a load of assembly paste in an attempt to try to seal the joints, but that stuffs just not designed to fill a sleeve joint with a...

Yeah I've split a boot before. It's a right pita.

I had trouble with that as well. I clamped a pair of long nose mole grips onto one of the ends or tails of the clip then stuck the moles in the vice. Opened up the clip as far as I could with a pair of pliers, almost like un-coiling it, then clamped the centre of the clip with another pair of...

Something like this would be good Steve

... oh and the lane that had the fallen tree trunk in it that exits onto the road has been completely concreted over. You could drive a ford fiesta up it now.

... a bit of Andy style driving will get through anything!!

Don't worry Andy, It wasn't a good day for laning. We had a big problem with a blocked lane, it was a hassle to reverse out of, caused a bit of body damage so we called it quits.

Normal place.... 10:00

.. are we still on for Monday. Can everyone make it?

Ah thats a shame. Well hopefully you'll be back soon. In a land rover?

Ah well that didn't work out ha. Whats the plan then peeps? Easter weekend seems a bit awkward for everyone. Should we put it on a back burner for another weekend when more of us can make it? I can't do next weekend unfortunately but I can do the one after which is another bank holiday I think.

Shall we move it to Monday then. Hopefully more people can make it.
