Swivel preload??

Scoring components The following values will be allocated to the major components used: chassis or body shell (body and chassis as one unit - monocoque ie direct replacement from the manufacturer) (original or new) = 5 points suspension = 2 points axles = 2 points transmission = 2 points...

Its late and I really can't be arsed to go looking, but I have papers that I keep in the landrover that proves it is perfectly legal to use 2500 litres of veg oil without even declaring in to revenue and customs. I have a copy on the computer somewhere and a copy in my cubby box. I keep the...

You are correct in everything there, where I reckon there is a bit of "open to interpretation" is when you read the regs it is clear they are talking monocoque as they refer to "body" rather than Chassis most of the time, but as you say, leave the chassis alone, no worries, shorten it, Q plate...

Be careful who you regard as "reliable hands"!! :whoosh:

And thats me saying "you did it wrong"?? Don't be ****in daft!! The original poster wrote that all he had done was bolt it to the side and seal it, he was the one thinking he had done it wrong. If he had then come on and said, "no, if I drop a ball down then it will head into the engine bay...

Did I say he'd done it wrong??? No I didn't. I told him to identify his air filter and make sure that it was connected through to the snorkel.

Terrafirma dealers have been told "No dealing" sell at required price or higher!

To get tax exempt status the vehicle must have been built before Dec 31st 1972. This can mean that some vehicles registered in 1973 could qualify if you can prove they came off the production line in 72. The only legal way to get a coil sprung 90/defender tax exempt is to use a pre 73...

Think logically about this, what does a snorkel do? It extends the place where the ENGINE takes air into it!! As I read it all you have done is bolted it to the side of the vehicle, so if you were to drop a ball down from the top of it then the ball would just roll out from the bottom...

Others are way ahead of you, thread has been running since yesterday http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/how-ruin-disco-180119.html

Hi Rus Disco's will suit your needs nicely to get into the sport. Surprisingly capable and as you say, cheap to buy. They are also easy and cheap to maintain. The best bit of advice I can give you is get one, drive it, compete in it, talk to the other competitors to see what they are...

1st question is why? Do you really think you will use one or is it more of a "I quite like the idea of one" Not that it matters but it may well impact on the price you will pay for one! As for costs, well it really is a case of how long is a piece of string? You will need a new...

I think he means THE Sahara overheats!!

Cheers, i'll get there!

Not competing these days so I was marshal and winch recovery. I smashed my knee up nearly 10 years ago and been unable to drive the trialer since:( I'm on the list for a complete new knee in the next couple of months (about time as i've had 22 operations on it in the last 10 years) so...

Excellent. Hadn't put you together with the switch panel, nicely made piece of kit, must get round to doing something with it!

Excellent footage, particularly enjoyed the passenger standing up to help spot the section! No seatbelts in them days eh!! Nowadays passengers aren't allowed to stand BETWEEN sections never mind while on them!! I've just spent today setting out for the West Wales 4x4 group trial which is...

Yeh, cut a hole, run the wires to where you want them and connect up and screw into place, roberts you mothers brother!!

Yes, I have. Not fitted yet but possible way will be up in the top console as I don't have sunroofs, the electrics are there to be tapped into and it will be out of the way. Couple this with my CB up there and away I go. I'm in the process of changing this one into a more capable machine...
