May 25th:
Liike to Know more about the 8x8?
-
We live in a society where if it is on TV and in the paper then it is true! If is anti the media version then it must be fabrication annd lies.
Where has the intelligent questioning gone?
The main reason that I don't believe them is that the first Global Warning story quoted that the early signs of GW would take 10 years or so to appear.
10 years is far too long for the media to wait for a good story, especially one that has no end. So some 2-3 years later the media start to blame anything on GW!
Now we have the situation that not even facts stand up to the lies!
Rant over and back OT
How was this aa success when it was toturn off lights during the longest day which does not get dark until 22:00 which happened to be when it ended
-
In the 70-90s not sure wwhich decade IIRC London office blocks did not have light switches aas it was more expensive to turn a striplight back on than keep it on 24-7. Or is this bull?
If the cost is relative to the energy used then it would be that it is better to leave them on?
I particularly like the coment about the "organisers" as if they were anominous. This will have nothing to do with the fact that this a BBC article and the "orginiser" was Capitol Radio
-
Hmm, as I am thinking about new tyres I am waiting with baited breath for the forums views.
The comment about smaller tyres is relative as he is talking about the difference between 33inch and 35inch both of which are bigger than standard fit.
-
Still begs the question,, if the UK only produces 2% of the CO2 then why are we paying the price of reducing it?
Then agian Speeding has less than 2% of the RTA deaths yet that gets all the attention.
Can't help feeling like this is a rip off Government
Back on topic, morning news cartoon show? had a nonconformist scientist on who presented that CO2 is not a greenhouse gas as it premotes plant growth which produces oxygen. Also that the established scientists are government backed for increasing tax.
The cartoon presenter (sorry news show presenter) ridicled the scientist and ignored his statements. The whole thing looked like a set up to prove that the media is right and that people who don't agree are evil criminals that will destroy the planet.
-
Good going Nige.
Envious I enjoyed my short course on Arc annd wanted to go back for TIG and Gas.
Can't wait to see your work at the end.
-
don't know about the tyre bit, but your motor looks really cool.
are those half top doors - with the push button handles.. ?????
They look like wind up window doors with the tops cut off.
Look at the capping as it is not the same shape as LR capping?
Does look nice and as an owner of a Series 1 and a 88/90 RRC Hybred with wind up windows I like the idea
-
Suprised that the tyre is still usable after being set on fire so many times
Bit further was this clip of the Cheeter thingy
-
Strange train of thought.
He did not like the look etc. of Si's purose built and tested solution..
sooo
they chose to bodge a solution from parts NOT designed to work in that format???
-
The Nas has the alternator on the offside so that is RH looking from front or on my LH when I am driving looking forwards and I am sitting on the opposite side to most in the UK.
Do you still want pictures and dimensions? Or confused!
IIRC Nearside is relating to the kerb side not the driver?
Me now confused.
-
Sorry RHS from drivers seat.
-
I use Themo Tec on my Hybred manifolds, the difference was very noticable.
Mainly the need to retune the carbs and change the air filter as the retained heat changes the exhuast gas performance.
Before using the wrap it did not need any chages but the engine bay heat has high.
One of the pipes just touches the chassis during use and the tape has worn through but it is still tight and not unwrapping.
-
Nice but why backwards tyres
-
Here are the pics of mine with 1 8 spoke and 3 RRC Steel wheels which gives a good comparision.
The eyebrows are not LR but the body line shows where the wheels are in comparision.
RR Classic Steel wheel ans 7.50 SAT
8 Spoke and 7.50 Xtra Grip copy
RR Classic Steel wheel ans 7.50 SAT
Hope this helps.

With Series II body, 7.50x16 and RRC steel wheels they are actualy just OK but with 8 spokes the offset is alot more and they need eyebrows.
Trouble is RRC steel wheels and 7.50s catch the hockey sticks so you really need the offset.
Series I will be worse for wheels sticking out due to the narrower body.
Actually I have both RRC steel and an 8 spoke on mine at the moment due to a flat. I can get a pic tonight of both.

Slightly OT
Many moons ago myself and friends went to France to marshall the first Europa Truck Trial.
before the Trucks the light vehicles used the sections in the Euro Trial Championship.
Sorry I will get to the point soon
One of the motors was a really nice open back Merc G Wagon V8, looked great, sounded soooo nice and preaty much won the event IIRC.
Anyway when it was parked we went to drool over it, and as you do one of us tapped the roll cage.
It sounded like the whole thing was made of exhaust pipe tube
No wonder it flew up the steep hills.

I've been watching the old "4x4 is born" over the weekend.
Mark had huge problemms Tiginng the tub and suggested contaminated ali.
Is LR alli stilll Birmabright or is it normal ali now?
I recall a magazine article on ali soldering and they recond it was easier on a LR tub due to the Birmabright alloy?
PS where can I find a college teaching welding at a low price?
Reading seems to have stopped just as I can afford to go back to try TIG!
PPS 5 weeks to be able to do that, how many days a week cos I'm impressed!
-
I'm still trying to pay for mine.
Please answer my PM so I can
-
Sorry but personaly always hated them anyway.
I guess I should be outraged by the Eurocrapnsess of it all but they are hideous and why does 90% of all RRC need them in town.
Leaving now.

During the MWWC the Series 1 in Bert's team (sorry I only know Bert so I don't the team members names) was A framed to the event.
I started the conversation from this thread and no one thought it was ilegal.
-
Nice photo in the middle of the X-Spring in action for Si.
-
Yup,
As Marshals I would like to say that we had a great time too.
Cheers Nige for organising it all.
By the way Mark your just down the road from us.
Marc.
-
on pirate4x4 it's quite a common conversion... like you say, rather floppy though, and i don't want to think how it would handle on tarmac
Why?
On tarmac you put the bolt back in (if it will go!).

What is a tyre specialist??
All I can find is a 19 year old in a Franchise that has never seen an innertube let alone fitted one.
I've been back three times with a nipped innertube in three tyres, they last on road until you go off road. This I guess pulls the innertube out of the pinch it was in and slowly deflates.
I blame it on dads not teaching kids to change bicycle tubes.
Trouble shutting your Defender doors?
