  1. Hmm if this was one of 150 made I would expect him to know which number out the 150 it is. I don't believe it is no 1 of 150 as he would be asking much more and would target Dunsfold as a buyer.
  2. I used to have a Ring solar charger on the roof of my powerless garage for the S1 but they are not waterproof so it died after a number of years. Internally the cable connections corroded off the cells inside the glass. But it was great over that time and was cheaper than changing the battery every other winter. Back to the thread though, I have been interested in a waterproof pack for a while so this has helped immensely in my understanding.
  3. As I already said being Mr Grimpy, I don't watch these kind of films since oddly, I can do pretend films but not ones trying to be real films. But when ever there is a car flip in a film I just look for the cannon. So Simons work and this tread is great and interesting. I'm really interested in how you test your theories out, like on a quarter of an axle.
  4. There was a top 40 (or 70 cant remember) list of worst CO2 offendets based on cradle to the grave a few years ago. Toyota Prius was worse than a Jeep Wrangler.
  5. No to me that looks to just clamp on a round rod, so length and rotation adjustment only is my guess.
  6. That was my thought, but naive if so as they should have had annual checks for compliance and a forward plan. It kind of depends if the bank was working with them proactively or just sat back and threw in a deadline. If they'd had a breach the multi £m fines could have killed them either way.
  7. If it is you can blame my dad as he bombed Egypt.
  8. Always sad day when a good company closes. That Facebook comment raises more questions than it answers. .
  9. We had an inch of snow, very mild on the M40 but drivers stamping their brakes and hazards on down to 40mph. If it was rain they wouldn't of batted an eyelid. God knows what December will be like. That's what I love about the UK. Rain **** crash, snow **** crash, sun **** crash!
  10. I have an ex RRC 3.5 but the carbs are on my S1 and it has sat for 10 years with rags in the inlet manifold so can't guarantee its condition. It was running until I wrecked the TB bearing in the LT95. It will need taking out of the hinted.
  11. Either got a better offer or expects you to wait until they can be bothered, not unusual flebay practice.
  12. Don't know if I knew this and forgot or never knew it!
  13. Until now I'd never heard of a spigot bush failing but plenty of D3 TC failures!
  14. OK ta, its just a case of looking to see what is available.
  15. What seats did you use for the final frames? the pics show the original mobility seats then a pair of other seats that you reupholstered with a load of work. Great job.
  16. Yes thanks, it was not searchable from my phone. The Unwin site had a camper van installation sheet apparently.
  17. I've been looking at Unwin rails, not bad price on fleabay. The curremt owner of Unwin don't seem to be keen on providing access to the installation notes that were available on the Unwin site.
  18. That I like alot. I am looking for a solution but currently an looking at putting a LR bench seat in the gap on a frame. Your idea is much better. Is it possible to get more info on the conversion please.
  19. Woke up this morning, (cue blues riff) and realised the issue here. The drag links and track rods would be at the bottom of the drop boxes completely negating the lift. It would need tractor type steering.
  20. Is this the reason that they are different? Or this a different part? It seems like LR have made some interesting changes since the early 90/110s?
  21. Surely 5 " on both sides looking at the drop box width?
  22. I looked at their site the other month. nice stuff some items seem pricey some reasonable. did not see the Portals though. Easy way to spend lots of cash! Found this on their Facebook page. Dumb question time. I know it will leave more drop box exposed and negate some of the clearance gained but, if you swap the swivel and drop box locations over you wouldn't need the brace bar.
  23. Fourth gear in most gearboxes is a 1 to 1 drive as it is the one gear that does not use the layshaft so it is not turning at all. That is why when the layshaft breaks you can often drive on in 4th at a cautious speed.
  24. Add that to the tree destruction in order to mine the titanium needed to make the white paint for the trendies white cars.
  25. How's that work? It all comes from the same national grid, they can't pick out the eco electrons.
