I've decided to fit the Land Rover part and see what happens. Thanks. Guy

The radio part of my radio/CD player doesn't work very well. The reception is extremely poor. The aerial is one of those short rubber things fixed to the wing. What options are there to improve reception. Longer aerial? Placed higher up ie roof? Thanks, Guy

I know someone running these on the UK challenge scene. He thinks they are the greatest thing ever. Having seen them at work, I'd agree. Guy

Thanks for the tips. Myself and Northernchris have just finished poking around underneath and it appears to be propshaft UJs. Just off to get some and then change them. Should sort it. Guy

I hope it's not the steering damper. It's brand new and only fitted at the weekend. Would that not cause vibration though the steering wheel though? I'll check the panhard rod. Thanks, Guy

I'm getting violent vibration when I either accelerate or go over 50mph. It was fine yesterday and started suddenly this morning. It feels if it is coming though the road wheels. I've checked the wheels and all seems fine. Doesn't appear to be any bearing problems. There is no play in either the front of rear propshaft. It feels very like something is breaking up as you drive along. Any other ideas? Thanks, Guy

Dave, Must be a Simex thing. They never worked loose with the BFGs I had. Guy

Going to be crowded out there . Quite fancy another trip out there now I've finally stopped paying for the first trip (happy days eh Peter!!!) Guy

I ran spacers and Wolf rims on my 110 as I was having issues with the radius arm when on full lock. I never had any problems with bearings. I now have a 90 with same sized tyres but standard modulars on and have no problems. If i had I would have kept the spacers instead of giving them to Dave Guy

Dave, I think it would be OK but you ought to try it (Loddington is open this Sunday). I seen rubbing on some cars but not others. Might be time to buy those nice Mach 5 rims Guy

Put it in third and floor it!!!!!

I have to say i've never found it the most riverting read. It's better than it was but i still don't make a special effort to buy it. Guy

I wondered if changing to the Difflock stuff would help. The jury seems out on it though. it feels like the cogs are not quite in the right place and you need to give them a short time to come together before you let the clutch up. None of my other Land Rovers have done this. Guy

That's a big job Chris. Last time I looked it need a fair bit of body work doing as well. Can't think why. He's such a gentle driver normally!!! Guy

Julian, Is that you? Still got the Camel Freelander. Only a couple left up here from your day!!!! Guy

I have a P reg 300TDi 90. The gear change is not great on it. Changing down gears is fine but changing up results in some graunching noises unles you do it fairly slowly. The box has plenty of ATF and is not making any other noises or exhibiting any other problems. Any ideas. I'm assuming it a selector issue but not sure what. Guy

Not going to be worth $38,000 are they Guy

Dave, Nope. The A bar is still available. You'll have to be quick if you want it though. Guy

Thanks all! Dave, The Fastline one is isolating the winch. I have a plastic one (the one Phil was using to isolate the winch). All i want to do is have a quick way of isolating the battery when i want to work on the electrics (Phil is a man of many parts. Auto electrician is not one of them. Lovely cable runs though!!!!) without have to take the seat out everytime to disconnect the battery. There is not enough room to fit another heay duty switch now anyway. I have plent of suitable cable, just non of it with a battery connector crimped on so I'll have to get Fastline to do that anyway although i do have those connectors with the additional ost on them which coneect to the battery in the normal way and connect the cable to the post. I knew Jason had your motor. I've already had a few nice bits off it. he said you wouldn't mind . as I was leaving some bloke turned up to collect the chassis . Enjoy your hols! Guy

Cheers! It seems I just need to cut the main power supply to the battery, recrimp a suitable terminal to link one end to the cutoff switch. The get another cable to link one end to the other end of the switch and have a battery terminal fitted on the other end to connect to the battery. If anyone sees a problem is that, do tell Guy

This has probably been covered before but I couldn't find anything. I want to fit a battery cut off switch. Mostly because the previous owner fitted Disco seats in the 90 and to get them out requires undoing 4 bolts and then lifting seat and runners off and then you have access to the battery box. The quickest I have managed this is about 3 minutes, which wouldn't be a lot of use if there was an urgent need to get to the battery compartment. Additionally, when I'm doing normal maitenance its a pain to keep taking the seat out. I have a twin battery set with an X-Eng 'any idiot can fit it split charge relay' and a switch to isolate the winch as and when required. Where in amongst all this do i put a battery isolator and which cables do I need to wire it to and how? Diagrams or photos would be most useful. Thanks for any help. Guy

Not sure if it a Lodar but it is something similar. I wondered about extending the cabe to place it in the cab as they was my preffered option but wondered if lenghtning the cable would have any effect. If not I'll do that. thanks, Guy

i have a remote control unit for my winch and am trying to decide the best place for it. It is somewhat limited by the need to plug it into the solenoids on the winch. Where do you have yours? Cheers, Guy

Entertaining wasn't it. They had issued a severe weather warning that morning. According to the Met Office it was a non touchown tornado. I sheltered at the Wright Off Road tent. We clipped the winch on it and then held on to it for dear life. The guys next door were not so lucky. The damage I saw amounted to the Trailmasters 110, two caravans, one with a branch in the roof. One flattened! Large number of awnings scattered around. Matt Savage stand completely wiped out (he was in a fairly exposed position). Heard that a car had been hit and someone trapped for a short time and several tents spotted in the jet ski lake. Only live a couple of minutes down the road and at home there was only a little rain and some wind. Guy

I've been with this insurer for years with 5 diffrent Land Rovers and never had a problem until now. I'm waiting on a reply from them now as to why the Land Rover fitted one is not good enough (It's on a 300TDi P plate). Any product reccomendations from those in the know would be useful in the meantime. Cheers, Guy
