I thought the Saturday night band were excellent, just goes to show you can please some of the people all of the time etc etc...

I shall be there with my Gaz-66. Didn't make it last year because of, ahem, cam timing gear issues

Just put a full roof rack on, it's effective on my 110

Dredging up an old thread, one thing to be aware of if you have a big vehicle with ADAC is that they have a 300 Euro towing limit so that doesn't go anywhere if you have something big This was a 35km journey to a place of repair and was 920 Euros. I got 300 back from ADAC.

Yes, full of kids, food and fluids, 5800kg on the weigh bridge at Dover I'll start munching through the 11 page thread on Pirate later on

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but if anyone knows the answer it is on here. Does anyone know how an LT230 will fair if bolted into a ~6 tonne truck and running permanent four wheel drive? I hear they are strong but how strong? I'm thinking here about my Gaz-66 to raise my gearing. The Gaz V8 is pretty gutless in it's power output (~200lb-ft) but 6 tonnes of back torque inertia is a hefty load to throw back through. Can anyone point to any similar application? I'd have to run it turned upside down so lubrication will need to be carefully thought out

You're welcome to have a look at the map I've had in my 110 for the last 5 years. It probably could do with a bit of polishing and tickling but it runs nicely on gas. On petrol it can be a bit chuggy on petrol at low speeds but since it spends it's life on gas I haven't bothered with changing it Engine-wise it's on a 3.5 EFi RV8 with a BLOS carb

I've been using one for years on a 4.2l ZMZ V8 in my Gaz-66 and that thing drinks gas like it is going out of fashion +/-8mpg

Excellent method which avoids mucking up the caliper <thumbs up emoticon>

I thought this thread was about car thieves not investment bankers

Don't look on Youtube, you'll scare yourself witless!

ADAC here too. Added advantage is the monthly magazine I don't understand a word of

The Ultimaker 2 comes with Cura software for the G code, that takes an STL file and works OK. I'd like the dual extruder option now, got fed up of messy undercuts or trimming loads of support parent material away. There is a dual extruder kit available for the Ultimaker 2 from an Italian Ultimaker reseller for about 250 euros, I may try that since nothing is forthcoming from Ultimaker yet.

Simon, are you using a single or double extruder head on yours?

Our horizontal is the least used machine in the workshop, just everything is much more hassle to set up. Save up for a Bridgeport BRJ it is a hugely versatile milling machine

They're not sounding very cheap! Sounds like a whole host of non essential niggles that can take the whole car down. Thanks for the heads up, I'll continue to avoid them

We had a customer that left a vehicle with us for a load of custom work do be done. We did the work and then tried to contact him for payment and collection and initially he was 'yep, I'll be down next week' then the excuses rolled and finally the phone didn't get answered. After waiting months and getting fed up with storing his vehicle we put an ad in Motoring News 'XYZ's Historic Cooper S for sale £xxxx' You know what? Motoring News used to come out on Wednesday I think, he was on the phone in about an hour and came down the very next day and paid his bill in full In your case after you have made all sorts of reasonable attempts to contact him I'd just do as others have suggested, apply for the V5 and flog it. 5 years is more than reasonable

I thoroughly feel his pain having been involved with a 16 valve Mini Twin cam since year dot where every single thing is an uphill struggle

I'm not sure what to think about this bad boy http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-DISCOVERY-3-9-V8-LPG-HUMVEE-HUMMER-BASED-REPLICA-LOOKALIKE-UNIQUE-/121599420119?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c4fe3e6d7

I went down to the Alps in my Gaz 66 at half term and avoided the tolls entirely yet kept a good average going by going out from Calais into Belgium, down through Luxembourg than straight south through Metz, Nancy and Epinal to Besancon. Total toll 6.5 Euro and all on autoroutes. If I try and go as the crow flies from Calais I get hit with about 100 Euros of tolls each way (Cat 3) The RN are great if you aren't in too much of a hurry and like roundabouts and speed humps Nice thing about Belgium and Luxembourg is that the LPG is only 49 cents a litre whereas the robbing French want 88-91 cents a litre! When you are doing 7mpg on gas that is a big saving

Since I took out ADAC membership my truck hasn't broken down once

I wont have any going away for a couple of weeks but I'm happy to add to our batch of stuff. What are they made from and what are you looking for hardness wise?
