    Howlin' Wolf Round 1 - The Aftermath

    in Competing in Land Rovers

    Posted

    As has already been said my feedback is brilliant event. I was the guy rolling the SJ all over the place so sorry for getting in peoples way,

    Really enjoyed the night event, loved the team spirit there and was a great opportunity to chat to a few other drivers which made the atmosphere more enjoyable.

    looking forward to the next event

    Oh does anyone know the guy who was taking a video of the night section (tyre run) as would be good to see a few of them + more photos

    Cheers

    Howling Wolf Rd 1

    in Competing in Land Rovers

    Posted

    I have to agree we are competing in all of them this year and did a couple of events last year my feedback is certainly for a points system.

    i.e deducted if you have lockers/ over 35inch tyres / twin winches / 1 or 2 lockers etc etc. I think the stages are great in the howling wolf but i think teams are not rewarded when a smaller less modded truck gets to a punch in the same time as someone on 44's etc. (class 2 is very wide you can have trucks with one locker or 2 for example)

    a limited points system would encourage some teams not to chuck bigger tyres faster winches on etc. buy maybe look into making their truck more competive in another way.. i.e lighter or center winch that can pull front or rear etc

    hope this feedback helps

    we are both very much looking forward to it this year

    cheers

    Buying a Disco 2 6-8k

    in Discovery Forum

    Posted

    Hi, I am about to buy a discovery 2 for my wife and wondered if you could give me some advice as to what to look for: i.e pro's and cons.

    I am fairly mechanically minded but want to ensure it is a reliable car as we are selling a 2007 car to buy this.

    From looking around between 6-8k you can get a disco 2 ES with cream leather seats ideally which is between a 2001-2003 with 50k-70k on the clock.

    Is there anything i want done at this age or needs replacing? How reliable are they?

    Thanks

    king pin bearings

    in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)

    Posted

    Hi quick question, I thought my wheel bearing was loose so I took it apart tightened it up and there is still play. Looking closer you can see its on the swivel so must be king pins. Can you tighten these up or do you just replace them? I have done about 20k miles on 33's and never looked at them so imagine they might need to be changed.

    Is it just a case of doing those 2 bolts up a bit on both sides or undoing them and removing a shims or do you take the swivel apart and replace the lot...?

    Thanks in advance

    Help Prop UJ Farnham, Surrey

    in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)

    Posted

    Hi, bit of a long shot but basically i need a new rear 300tdi 90 prop tonight! as need the landy tomorrow to pull some heavy things around.

    i have taken the prop off and tried to change the UJ but have already broken a new UJ in trying to do it. i have one new one left in the packet to try and fit but just cant seem to get the thing on and am making a real hash of it..... does anyone live close to farnham and fancy either selling me a rear prop... of giving me hand to change this one..... (i have called challenger and they dont have one in stock)

    i have done one before but just cant remember the nack to doing it... i have a small workshop and its all sitting on the vice ready to go with the old one cut off...

    Thanks in advance

    Will
