whoever wrote that was talking poop Marc - Birmabright welds nicely, as much as I can see a use for magic sticks to give a cheap and relatively robust repair, I'll keep my tig

not always Steve - it also depends on what you use to control the steering

you can run 2 pumps in tandem and that will give instant backup in the event of one pump failing, personally I'll stick with just the one pump though, if you wanted your leccy one Alan you will need a non return in there to stop the leccy pump being munched and only turn it on when you loose the main pump self centering with an orbitrol is merely a product of castor - its easy

We've found those T max twin jobbies even work after a good dunking - just give'em a second to clear the water out of the line and away they go, the switch box is pants and needs replacing with somehing more robust beforehand though, great bit of kit for the money

Sundays good, swing past - theres a box of stuff for you here anyway!

my system self centres just as nicely as any "normal" car Ive ever driven as for the "back up" debate, I drove 80kms of forest with no pump at all......... kinda puts paid to the "oh your steering doesnt work with a dead engine/broken pump" marlarky, having said that even if you show someone the steering working with a dead engine they will still go with bloke down the pubs opinion so whats the point

Start reading here!

depends on the width and profile of the wheel you are running

its a big old hill that skirt monkey lives on Yam mes - get a battery disconnect and hook daddy battery into the vehicle battery, bring it inline to fire up and break it when you park, Daddy will crank a disco in its sleep even a minus heaps

James have you got a block heater power point? is Daddy battery still in the boot?

Datatag

lol, dont worry about it - they're all yellow

sad to say its been tried before, theft for breaking was a massive industry in the bike world, the only thing that put the pro's off seemed to be fitting either datatag or smartwater, the feds could simply breeze through the breakers stores departments waving a lamp or a scanner and be home in time for cakes - a good number of breakers went to jail and the others got smart and refused to deal with anything hooky (and no, I realise not all bike breakers were bent before anyone spits the dummy). With a Landy based autojumble or sortout it would be even easier for the bronze to scan a heap of stuff in a small area making nice easy collars with the minimum of effort.. Would it work with Landrovers? yep Would people be prepared to fork out the datatag fees? pass Would the feds follow it up or do any high vis sweeps and patrols? erm, pass. They could always rope in the community support brownies (or whatevers being used to replace the police this week )

more likely its nice British thieves feeding off thier countrymen because people want bargains and a fair few are prepared to "forget" to ask questions when something they need or want turns up for the right price.. ....the UK is after all the largest market for Landrovers and landrover parts after all (you can stone me now if you like ) Whichever ways its cut - its a s**t deal for those that have lost thier pride and joy

Thanks Shires - met lots of nice people and had a groovy and most mellow day out, even the weather perked up for a few seconds about lunchtime

Ive had dealings with that bloke and he's been talking out of his ar$e for years Saley - sounds about bang on fella B)

tyres can be blown up that much?

who gives a flying f k who owns it

Simex - buy Boggers and kittens die (I read that a couple of years ago so Im sure its still true )

did you turn the gas on?

I did a basic first aid course and then work sent me off for an industrial injuries course (lots of embedded and mashed up stuff) which has proved very very handy IMHO any training is better than none, its kinda scary when theres no breathing going on and you cant find a pulse we carry a reasonable first aid kit in a pelicase, the stock boxes are a waste of time and the kits useless if its been dunked, we supplement the kit with a leatherman, liquid skin, superglue and gaffer tape hardly exhaustive but Im not a doctor and never will be one (I am a keen amateur gynaecologist though)

about a tonne of it was stuck to the caravans as they left the field, transit pickups fill up nicely as well

or you can buy a resin block - has all the mounting holes in the right place so you can mock up to your hearts content and lift it in and out with one hand

I'll try and get through to a nice man the other side of the border this evening

if you want an irritant you could try dispensing a gaseous form of "hard work" pikeys and hoodies hate it will do anything to avoid it we've use pig slurry in a spreader to move people on - that works well
