Looking at the photo, you need to be careful how you cut. I noticed that some of the remaining treads look like they have been under cut and will rip off really quickly, esp on road!

Niether. I use a German socket set which grips the flats not the corners. Works great except on 12 point bolts (modern engines and V8 oil pumps). Edited to add piccie. BRUEDER MANNESMANN This stuff is luverly.

I was looking at these last week, bit I heard that in some set up modes you lose the WEP security? Have you any ideas on this?

Watching that rubbish TV News magazine today (08/12 bit late writting this) BBC1 Morning News. They had a peice about 4x4 sales being down. 1st up was a Sales woman at a car supermarket. BBC asks about 4x4 sales down due to higher Eco taxes. Woman answers: Well actually some large 4x4 sales are down due to the high fuel costs, but people are still buying smaller 4x4s. Next BBC asks AA woman. So 4x4/Chelsea Tractor sales are down is this because of the Eco taxes. AA Woman answers. Well you know it's not about 4x4 use as some large cars are in Band F not just large 4x4s, also alot of the modern 4x4s are more economical and are in Bands D & E. Finaly the Beeb ask a Liberal MP. So is this the end of 4x4 sales due to Eco pressure. MP answers. This not about 4x4 use we cannot single out a group of people, this is about reducing the number of high polouting vehicles. Hooray BBC 0 Common Sense 3 I don't know if the Beeb was trying to redress the ballance (doubt it) or just finally got caught talking cr*p

Not sure about the safer bit. Doing it without the compressors has no stored energy, just use a jack to lower the axle until it's loose. Doing it with cheap spring compressors, the spring energy is held in check by the tool. Cheap tool bends well with car springs, what will it do with LR springs? Quicker? how long does it take you to wind the bolt that far? Then how do you undo the bolt once it bends on a cheap tool? Personally I'd see if I can do it without the tool. Remeber to take the caliper bolts out and tie them up out of the way to protect the brake pipes.

Doesn't matter the company that wins would run it!

Bizare site, loved the 6x6x6 jeep, not sure about the 10 wheeled Ferrari

Just looked at the web site. This looks VERY interesting, I WAS thinking about the Italian stuff (not interested in Orange stuff) but now I know where I will be going next year!!

It will happen, I know a company that is talking to the Government right now about their national system!!

Interesting comment, when I was in Israel for a meeting with a customer he said basically the same thing about the Palestinians. Why did they place bombs in order to win power, as their birth rate is higher than the Israeli birth rate they will inherit the country anyway!!

Sorry not helpful

Richard Beddall (AWDC Chairman) bought a very nice country retreat (mansion) just there, it has a very long front garden and drive. Just perfect for parking lots of Land Rovers .

You think these are good questions? 10A. Do you, if ever, use land illegally for your activity? For example using farmers' land without permission or using footpaths for motorised vehicles / horses / bicycles. 10B. If yes, how often? 16. Do you believe that your activity has any effect on the countryside / other countryside users? Please tick all that apply Disturbance to other users Disturbance to wild animals / birds Disturbance to farm stock Damage to track surfaces Noise disturbance to local residents Inconvenience to land owners / farmers Inconvenience to other countryside users Widening of paths into fields Pollution Benefits the local economy Interesting spectacle to passers by Involves local youngsters Creates jobs for local residents Other The last Tw%ty question I saw like this was a US Imigration question: Are you or hve you ever been a terrorist?

Can't be that good a truck, it's only got a 4cc engine

The link went to a Modular wheel, these are NOT Land Rover OEM wheels and will be the size the manufacturer chose to make them. I think you are right that RR steels are 6 inch I will have the tyres removed from mine tomorrow as I need to fit 7.50 16 to them temporaaily. I have a feeling you are not supposed to fit them though? I have seen Simex fitted to RR steels, Idon't know if they have been widened or not. I have had a set of 7.50 16 tyres on LWB rims widened to 8 inch rims for the last 20 or so years with no problems but that was my choice and this is not to be taken as a recommendation. I will measure my wheels to check tomorrow. Yup they are. Marc.

Still slightly OT If you want to lower the folding edge, can't you add another slice of sheet below the one you want to bend as a packing peice? This would raise the folded sheet with the same effect. You could alter the thickness of the packing to suit the difference in hieght required. The main problem that I have seen with manual folders is that the clamping fingers are not strong enough for thicker sheet.

Whilst trying to track down an old friend, I heard from an acquaintance (second-hand then) that my friend had recently provided some LR based work for Jezza possibly for the production team in some way. My friend has a long history of LR and J**P products starting at the time when fitting a V8 into a Series 1 required the fabrication of a one off adaptor prior to Philips conversions. Apparently the latest request is to update an LR for Jezza's wife to tow her horses around. It seems that in a true petrolhead style the smelly chip fat engine has to be thrown away and a nice V8 burble is to be installed in its place.

If this is totaly off the mark then apologies but I tend to agree with the clutch area. What would happen if the clutch release bearing came off the retaining spring which holds it on to the clutch actuator fork? This could provide the rattle but presumably it would also make a horrible noise when the pedal is pressed? I am really just speculating, 2drdan have you asked someone from Ashcrofts or similar? Marc

I've had two LT95 gearboxes which made lots of noise as the revs increase not quite the same I know, however the LT95 has an extension tube for the clutch release baring to slide on (this is due to it being designed for the LR 101 which has a shorter bellhousing - ask a comp safari racer) I think my noise is due the the extension tube moving as it is only a slide on fit. it might be that your noise is caused by the same problem but in a different form?? Does this sound kosher or am I talking B%$!"*ks? both of my gearboxes work fine but are a bit noisy.

Big thanks to all who got the forum back up I almost had some time without a LR topic. The misses gave me something to do around the house to take my mind off it!!

OT On a bright note, we're all gonna starve anyway as nobody can handle where meat actually comes from!!

My blonde moment is forgetting the hand brake when pulling away. Last time was ging to billing, at the M40 I stopped to help two guy's in a 90. when I got the roudabout at Billing the transmission was making a strange clattering noise. I had intended to drive the off road course but decided against it. wasn't until later that I realised that it was the handbrake still on!!

Thanks you are echoing my thoughts (I think ) I have never unstood the bit about adding extra lift the putting dropped bump stoops to take it up again Is this just a throw back to fitting huge wheels ala the US? When it comes to drive is the weight of the axle etc. enough to grip?

I have to say that the HBRO is the most friendly club I have had the pleasure of being a member of By the way the calandar shows the event as 2nd + 3rd Driving Day and Trial, does this mean the the driving is available on both days?? If I come down in WUD then everybody can marvel at how c*%p I am compared to Bert.
