Hi guys going to silverdale in stoke on trent tomorrow going with my brother in law to be in his s111 that he has just got back on the road after buying it 6mts ago i will be showing him how to use the gears as he hasn't been off road before and my son and brother in his s11a has anyone been there before ? pics to follow graham.

i have also herd with a richards chassis that some of the engine / gearbox mounts are slightly out of line the thing is they will never be as good as a GKN ( british steel ) chassis ? graham.

Hi martin the only problem i have had with a marsland chassis is the fitting of the steering relay with my s11a swb fitted with a s111 chassis the new relay ( britpart ) wouldn't fit in the hole and i had to grind a few mm off the bottom flange on the relay as the flange is slightly wider than the relay body. and on my friends s111 swb chassis the tube that the relay fits into must have been damaged before it was galvanised and again we had to grind away some of the flange on the relay. maybe if you buy a better relay from another supplier you may not have this problem ? graham.
