Do a search. I think there was a big thread on this recently.

There are more instances of exceeding the speed limit than overtaking, empty roads for example. People can be overtaken safely sometimes too. On a motorbike exceeding the speed limit is sometimes your only option to survive the negligence of another road user. I think there are lots of examples. I wouldn't condone driving in such a way that intimidates anyone.

A lot of people I know resent them because there is no discretion. There are times and places where exceeding the speed limit can be totally safe = just like their are instances where driving at the speed limit is totally irresponsible. The speed limits are a way of dealing with carp drivers - it would perhaps be better if they were just better drivers.

I would post up on every forum you can to see if their is someone who could take you out. You'll learn a lot lot more and do so with people who can help if you struggle. Going on your own could be a disaster if you get stuck! If you are though going to go on your own - and have found some routes - walk them first.

I'm a bit confused Where is this the cable that operates the vents in the cab?

Thank you - I'll have a look.

Where is the adjustment on the flaps? I see the heat adjustment on the top of the heater box - but the other cable seems to disappear behind it...

I'd like a DAB radio for mine - but they still seem to be a fortune.

You seem to have a thread all to yourself here....... I just have a standard motor - but seem to get the same consumption (if not sometimes better!) from my green lane miles as I do from my road miles.

I must be lucky in my timing too. I'm an admin on another forum that is this same Invision board - it has a few less posts and members but perhaps more online activity. I think we have it hosted with http://www.visn.co.uk/ Very good and stable set up - though we do rely on donations and an OEM parts suppliers sponsorship. Forum still feels independent its just that members get a discount.

Its never been slow for me? I think this is a series forum - so it'll be imperial

Scorpion USA????? lol @ the cat

I'm not sure I want to get into cutting off the old pan ..... I'm going to talk to my welder and give gwyn lewis a ring I think

Thanks Vinny - thats a great help. I'll see if I can post on their forum.

I'm thinking of doing this! My Dad now lives in County Offaly and I've been meaning to go over in the Landy and explore for a while. I was planning on going from Hollyhead. My brother went recently with a 4wd and I think it was £130 for the car and 3 people. I've absolutely no idea of where to go playing in the Landy though.

Sorry to be a bit OT - but it seems amazing that you have a 99 TD5 with only 12000 miles on the clock!?

Thanks for all the feedback its really helpful Having seen Steve's set up in the back I'm tempted to put the jack there, closer to the floor and easier to mount, rather than on the back of the bulkhead... Hmmm.... decisions decisions Also thanks for the tip that SimonR has some - I'd rather put money in the communities pockets.

I'm thinking about getting these clamps to mount my hi-lift to the rear bulk head in my 90... has anyone any experience with them? I think I prefer the idea of them to the clamp on set ups, they seem simpler and being rubber mounted seems like it might be better too.

That is amazing... in a couple of those shots it looks real.

Which style are they YBR?

They also look like they can be cleaned behind without taking them off?

The seller is from Israel - and I think what we are seeing here is a VAST cultural divide ...

Thanks Redben - no prices on that site though?

There seems to be a bewlidering array of diff guards.... I'm not sure about the ones that seem to just bolt onto the diff pan - unless I'm reading it wrong, any impact (that isn't deflected) would just be transferred straight to the pan? Which is why I'm quite attracted to the Gwyn Lewis ones: Link It seems that with these welding onto the actual axle casing they would be more robust ? (not sure how easy it would be to access everything after they are welded on though?) I'm also liking the idea of the more wrap around types - like the QT one: Link That said I read on an old thread on here that a few folk were more than happy with the basic clamp on ones... Any help for a bemused buyer? I'm leaning towards Gwyn Lewis at the moment - at least partly because I know an amazing welder and they are quite cheap!

Wirewool would be far too abrasive, unless you want scratches too? Take Loiner up on his offer of 2000 wet n dry I reckon
