Hi This is my completely standard road car I did think about the transducer but also thought that that would be more complete loss of speedo also thought about the gear where the speedo cable connects to the t box, Can the gear be replaced easily ?
-
Had a little search but couldnt find anything, Basically my speedo is way out according to my satnav any ideas what I can check/replace according to my speedo top gear kicks in at 60mph satnav reads 48mph is this about right ? 80 on the speedo is around 65 on the satnav Cheers

Did you power the amp back up ? if so do you remember the colour of the wire I know you just connect the ignition live to the amp feed but cant remember which wire it was cheers

cheap (£20) hiking boots and a pr of gaitors and gaffer tape round the top (not too tight as it cuts the circulation) to stop em falling down for £20 you can afford to bin em at the end of the season as said above if ur not in slop above your knees your not doing it properly

You should be ok We took the artic upto the main carpark a few yrs back

Granada scorpios had an electric brake system I've seen a couple offroaders with it fitted and worked very well

personally i recon powder coating is rubbish as it breaks as soon as u rub along a tree then water gets behind it

Anyone have a link to the new/future ved rates Thinking about buying an 4.0l v8 52 plate disco but not sure what the new rates will be Cheers Nick
-
If you have any broken diffs use all the bits and weld them in rather than just sticking one big lump in there
-
do you still have power going into the alt (small wire) take it you've pulled the brush pack out (3 small bolts)

I used to have a 88" lwt hybrid which was ok with a v8 but found with a heavy diesel upfront it tended to lift the rear wheels on anything a bit too steep, it was ok once you got used to it recon the extra 12" would make it a lot more stable
-
Hopefully the same as scorpion said when they re-called their rear arms
-
4 point would be better but with standard belts and 3 point harnesses your up to 6 point
-
Barry just fit standard belts, I dont think it says anywhere in the regs that you cant also wear your 3 point harnesses ?
