This is a great thread, if people don't mind can we keep it as i think its all relevant as to how we vote and compete next year... from reading the above that's quite encouraging it does not seem as scary as i thought the changes were going / could be.

to save reading the 36 page link does anyone know the exact (changes) that will be in place next year?

It looks a brilliant day and site. Is Jim from gigglepin still borrowing that truck ??

i hated doing this job to lol....worse thing for me is my mot is today and after having a quick check over i can't get the rubber boot to stay in the groove of the arms as its almost all rusted away... so moved off as soon as you turn the wheel doh...will that fail an mot? if so i may be doing it all again.... and changing the arm

get a small splitter in there that you tighten up... i was amazed how with me hitting it with a hammer for 5 minutes did nothing yet with a splitter 5 seconds later its off

RE: Don't forget your A-frame, or you'll have a diff pointing straight to the ground . good point!

Look nice shame they have no side biting bits though

ooo im interested to.. i thought from reading around you re weld the spring mounts and shock mounts and add northoffroad or ART rear trailing arms and a new prop obviously Cheers

Ok thanks, I'm pretty confident there bedded in well enough and have certainly got very hot. Is there a way i can test the servo/vacuum problem? as i said it does break OK ish and passed an MOT but is just not that punchy anymore and does not snap on like it used to ...my 300tdi breaks better.

Hi, Can you help? Ill go into as much detail as I can on what I have changed so far but still no good. Problem: 2004 td5 90 the brakes dont bite Sharp when at speed from as little as 20mph. when you lift the wheel off the ground it all feels fine and brakes as should however when braking at speed although does slowly slow the car it does no longer lock up sharply. This happened after putting new brake pads all round 3k miles ago. Since then I have changed the brake pads twice for two different types but the problem still occurs. I have bled the system 7-8 times including using a pressure bleed system and there is no air in the system what so ever. Bearings are fine and disks visually look ok and are not warped. Most dangerous time is crawling at say 15mph and someone stops quickly you cant lock them up whether you pump it or not they wont bite. I also changed the servo valve not sure on name of it but made no difference. Plus have done the usual checks of turning the engine pulling this valve off checking its sucking etc and all seems fine. To summarise the brakes work but there not Sharp and I am not losing any brake fluid. Any ideas to this ? Thanks in advance Will

Am I right in thinking it's best three results count to decide 1st place?. All 4 count

About 2.2 miles to macdonalds running on anything left including our valuable fosters cheers for the water

Found a guy who will sell me 6mm conveyor belt for £55 seems a bit exspensive to me for what it is... have to wait and see am still looking! Cheers Will

86% lol

still struggling to get something..drove around to loads of places today but no luck.. i really didn't want to spend £100 odd...Anyone got any conveyor belt i can buy please? Cheers Will

thank you

thanks zardos if possible i wanted to do them really cheap as i only smash them to pieces anyway hoping there might be a cheaper way

Great any ideas where to source that sort of stuff from? or does anyone have any they can sell me? Cheers

Hi, Where do people buy the rubbery /plastic landrover wheel arch extensions from? i am looking for the home made look which just screw in and hangs over about 4-5 inches longer than the standard defender ones...any ideas? A lot of the challenge guys run them but am struggling to find the right stuff as obviously needs to be flexible but a little stiff to then i can cut them to fit etc Cheers Will

i hope there is no crappy club near by i had to pull over and throw up last time because of it

the pic on the left would give you more movement as the bush is less restricted... for some reason though i have always fitted mine the other way around (like the right pic) ... that will change from now on

take a photo of the mag

It is a shame Police are always to blame... they follow guide lines the CPS make the rules Just too add, i fail to understand why people cant make that connection
