Whats SOA????

I fitted one of these to the end of my boost pipe on my 200di, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MINI-MOTO-IN-LINE-PETROL-FUEL-FILTER-MINI-BIKE-QUAD-ROUND-FUEL-FILTER-/190720594743?pt=UK_Sporting_Goods_Pocket_Bikes_LE&hash=item2c67d55337 But as Snagger says just point it downwards is all it needs. Nick.

Just edited it...try the second link. Nick.

Mmmmm I see...try this link then and enter the reg and its a Landrover. http://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/application?origin=vehicleEnquiryInfo_en.jsp&event=bea.portal.framework.internal.portlet.event&pageid=Vehicle+Enquiry&portletid=VehicleEnquiry&portletns=VehicleEnquiry_en&wfevent=link.next'>http://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/application?origin=vehicleEnquiryInfo_en.jsp&event=bea.portal.framework.internal.portlet.event&pageid=Vehicle+Enquiry&portletid=VehicleEnquiry&portletns=VehicleEnquiry_en&wfevent=link.next Or try, http://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/ and click on Vehicle Enquiry. Nick.

Looks like its still registered, http://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/application?pageid=Vehicle+Enquiry&portletid=VehicleEnquiry&portletns=VehicleEnquiry_en&wfevent=link.next Nick.

Rather than en-gauge the hubs....I wonder if its ok just to en-gauge 4 wheel high hubs unlocked...to save getting out and messing with them, I have them on my S3 and find it quieter and smoother....no idea if it helps MPG....but I see no reason why it shouldn't. Nick.

Mmmm yes that would be worth trying...I may have a go at that. Nick.

Not 100% sure how you can tell with 750s....anybody know if there radial or crossply. Nick.

Im on 2 leaf fronts 3 rear 88 soft top so running very light...bog std £10 shocks...not coiler comfort but IMHO pretty dam good compared to the old multi leaf springs...still have to near stop for speed bumps or the back end takes off...bloody annoying things....on radial tyres 205x16 25psi rear maybe your 750s are to hard. Nick.

Your 750s are they radial or cross ply? radial give a much softer ride. Nick.

I have them on my 88"....you need to en gauge them once a month or so to keep things lubricated, I would not be without them...I find less noise...never counted if they improve MPG...but I think they must as turning the front axle and prop must rob some hp from the engine...even though its the road wheels turning them. Nick.

Which model is it...and what tyres are on it. Nick.

Ok guys so have I got this right...nip up finger tight...then the req amount with a spanner to get rid of the free play. Nick.

Now I'm confused, I had it in my head that to adjust the steering box you set the wheel straight ahead and turn the square adjuster by hand only till it just nips up, I got out my green bible today...well it the older one grey ring binder type but a LR book...to make sure and it doesn't say that, It says..."Screw in the adjuster until the steering wheel backlash is taken up...screw it a further one half flat maximum to allow for lock nut tightening...then tighten the locknut without disturbing the adjusting nut". Mmmmm how do you guys set them. Nick.

Tex hope you dont mind me butting in here...I have a question for Snagger, Snagger I am in the process of getting around to re-building my S111 box but I am worried about the quality of replacement parts, Just spoke to a well known parts supplier in the Midlands to see where his are from...could be anywhere he said even brit part, I dont know what worn in mine yet, but my mate has lent me his spare to fit to mine to keep me mobile whilst I do mne, My symptoms are..needing constant correction when driving, feedback through the steering wheel from potholes...rough surfaces...its a kind of bang/thump, I have been all through the rest of the sys...track rods are all good swivel are fine with the correct pre-load, the rely is nice and secure, I can get rid or the wandering and feedback simply by slightly over tightening the steering box adjuster...ie by finger till just snugg as per the book...which still give me my probs and 25mm play at the steering wheel...or if I just tighten the adjuster a bit more with a spanner no more that a 1/8 turn all my probs are gone and the steering is no heavier and the clonking is gone...but I dont want to run it like that in case I increase the wear rate and bugger the box...it is tempting though, From what I have said what part of my box would you say is worn...and what do we do about getting good parts. Nick.
