88 inch of pure pleasure

Right I have a td5 discovery as the story goes the clutch has been slipping for a while but only now n then.anyhow it started to make a chattering noise a friends made similar noise (almost like a heat shield rattle) it turned out to be the flywheel to this I didn't mind as I could change it during the clutch change.but last night while driving home as I let my foot off the gas it started with a vibration and a noise asif someone had tipped a bag of spanners in something important,no lights illuminated until the engine died (just asif I'd turned the key off not sudden)and now it won't turn ova asif seized! But oil water temps were all good! Sumone said the flywheel may have collapsed but it died slow not a sudden stop.anyone heard or had anything similar thanks Paul

hi i went off bricht and early sunday morning to do a little practicing on my winching style ready for my first comp in april first few hours were realy good using my freshly rebuilt 8274 with the bow motor etc then on winching through a rather sticky bog the (new) circlip holding the brake mech flew off causing me to lose my new gigglepin bearings there not expensive i no but i dont fancy been half way up a bank and that happening agen i carnt atm afford the new mainshaft with the end bolted any tips on how to stop this happening again thanks paul

the guy who runs it does'nt realy addvertise it last time we went i think ther were only 7 truck's 5 were me and mate's i will post on here his events they are every 2 weeks as a rule

hi will anyone form here be doing the pay and play tomorow it's at hollymoor side chesterfield brill day out and no doubt will be very muddy

my form's are in the post as we speak,just need to learn how to drive the tank truck with a bit of style now

he would be better keeping it tbh mate i have a truck just the same it's cost me 13k up to press and tbh if i were to sell it it would get around 6k if that but i will run it to the floor and scrap it before lose that much money id prefer the by mile than let it go

hi carl iv pm'd you over the axles

i no what your saying mate best thing to do is try it at 9k see what happens (personly i feel its a little two much ),simmonites have allways been good at putting the high prices in lol plus they are dealers,i know someone who is thinking of selling his truck he's a dealer its a r plate,galv chassis,ascroft,2/8274,arb's,all the toy's and he's thinking 10k if he decides to sell but thats him.

thanks for that bish i had read that about the hubs but i was hoping i could get a disk mod usind lr disks etc

as bish said they dont seem to bring as much as a bog stock 90's trouble seems to be once up to event spec they seem to become unusable as a day to day truck so people who want them are after them for one reason.and you dont ever get what you want for em

hi guys ive been offerd a set of mog 406 axles for silly cheap money i no they will need some moding to fit my defender but trouble is everyone seems to use 404 axles whats the difference and will this make them unfittable to the lr thanks paul also what are the axles worth

hi matt i will be hoping to do all the above meet's other than the membership forms do i need anymore also when will the venues be out

your correct mate the dash was for sale i have the price and a contact no in my file of wants for my 90 iv only seen the one fitted to the 90 at the show though
