Cornish Rattler

Yes its heavily sprung so when in the neutral position the lever is in line to go into 1st or 2nd which is what i really like and as the lever is longer i lifted the cubby box to suit which made it better for testing my arm on, the only thing i miss is the 2a style lever as its sort of a mixed 2a and 3 position and will only take an s3 knob but has to be glued in as the lever is thicker so can't use the sprung sleeve but other than that i like it 🙂

Or fit a syncro gears slick shift 🙂

I watch a guy on youtube ( Kevtee ) he goes around the country collecting end of life vehicles as well as ins wright offs and in most cases the high mileage smashed up ones you can tell before the accident the car was well looked after and the very low mileage cars are really rough.

Yeah we are looking at getting a petrol inverter one if we can.

Just ordered a nice bbq / fire pit, still deciding on genni, Oh and i need some chairs then we are done 👍

Once we can all travel around the country again i will be back on it and hopefully be getting insured to get permissions and go on farms as well as doing beaches 😁

I made a cat flap for mine you can just see it to the left of the pic

If i can think on when i go Billing show i will flick the hubs on and drive all the way there and back and see.

Yeah the fairy ones used to do my head in if driving through long grass as one of the hubs used to unlock when the grass wrapped round it ☹️

Yes i'm guilty of that myself forgetting to put them in

I never understand why peeps say this i have the AVM ones on mine and although i don't off road it i do turn them on and off every now and then with them locked in i find the steering heavy but when they are off i find the steering light plus when they are off the landy pulls away that little bit easier so not dragging all the drive weight in the front axle around all the time.

Hi guys As the title says, does anyone else not wash thier series much 😀

We bought a 5ltr can of Limestone to do my swb all Limestone inside and out, inside had one coat and the outside had two coats not the best paint job in the world as it was our first time we had sprayed a vehicle but it does me, anyway think we used at least 3-4 lts and use the rest for touching up when needed.

Yeah we can't wait either will start to get a few bits n bobs ready for camping there over the next couple of months one of them is a generator to run lights and stuff.

No problem just wasn't sure how to use the timing took kit i bought as it was slighly different to the ones i'd seen but worked in out in the end, using a 300tdi turbo 🙂 Obviously with it being a tdi in a series i had to remove the rad as not much room to work but if it was a Def or Disco you would probably have the room.

Test run went well the other day and had it on the Mway today and was very happy with it 🙂

Gave the landy a good run out had it on the Mway and i got it upto 80 mph on the flat and would probably go more but i am happy with that,where as before with the Def pump it would only do 70 mph 👍

Hi guys I have just replaced my Defender 200tdi FIP ( fuel injection pump ) with a 300tdi injection pump, the engine is a Def 200tdi engine that I have dressed as a Disco 200tdi and now fitted with a 300tdi injection pump, the pump seems to pull slightly better from lights and junctions but seems to pull slower through the gears but keeps pulling, with the Def pump I couldn't go into top gear less than 32 mph as the engine laboured were as the 300 pump I can go into top about 25 mph which is better but I will give the pump a better test on the motorway tomorrow but I suppose it's getting used to a std 300 pump as appose to being used to a tweaked Def 200tdi pump so will see tomorrow

Removed the old FIP this afternoon and fitted the new one in place just now, just got to refit all the pipes and try it tomorrow 🙂

Nice one 👍

Fitted this to get well used at the evenings 😀

Think they are sold out now ☹️

Yeah i've been to many Billing Auqadrome landy shows over the years but the very last show i went to at billing was on the farm when Billing and the farm were in it together, was soppose to go last year at the farm show but was cancilled due to covid19 as has now been carried over to this year, from memory the farm sit was more relaxed you can have a camp fire but not to big and you can let your hair down a bit more with a mobil cafe / chippy on site, i haven't been since the farm covered the show on thier own so it will be interesting on what i find when we get there so will have to see 🙂

Hi guys Anyone going, me, son and a couple of friends are going. can't wait now 😁

I ordered a 300 injection pump the other day and today it arrived so next week whilst i'm off i will get it fitted 😃
