not sure which side you mean offside or passager side rear? but part no's for the rubber strip between the top of the door skin and the glass is BTR8866 OUTER-RH and BTR8867 OUTER-LH MIKE

i know its not a challage truck but what about popays its a 90 caged winched 2" lift etc only little tyres but haven't you got 35's on the ibex just a thought mike

when i registered my tomcat (was a disco) i had to fill in the form and send a cheque for an SVA they then gave me a date for a VIC as i had the correct no of points but they needed to check to decide. i had already MOTed and insured it due to misinformation turned up points we checked off and the only part of the chassis he showed any interest in was the wheelbase, as this is unchanged no probs so new tax was paid SVA cheque riped up and new log book saying tomcat in post. so you tell me because i know other people have had differing experances as for SVA/MOTs you have to get the car SVAed then MOTed but most test stations will do the MOT after they have finished the SVA (they charge you for SVA and MOT at standard rates) hope this helps if not your welcome to PM me if you want mike

you can talk yours was supposed to be ready for our 7s event and its still in the workshop tee hee

rest of trip was good not many lanes though maybe more next time the short rear i got was a new one was quoted £120+vat but got it for £90+vat which is why i gave you chassis no's prehaps you can find a second hand set at a better price mike

firstly many thanks to all who attended 7s every thing went very smothly special thanks to joe(shires event man) and all the marsals new and old. on a personal note i would like to add my thanks to lewis landrovers of neath and swansea vale 4x4 who both were very very helpful in helping me sort a broken halfshaft and a blown clutch slave cylinder hats off to both companys. B) finaly for bish part no FTC3186 short 10 spline rear halfshaft and FTC3187 long 10 spline rear halfshaft fitted to discos from chassis no JA032851 to MA118844 hope this helps mike

hi all i'm coming to wales for the shires 7s weekend but i'm staying for the rest of the week with a friend and plan to do so laning. so can anyone recomend/tell me which are open or shut, will be the last week in sept grid ref would be handy. will be running caged etc 90 and tomcat 100 many thank mike

the peugot/citron 1.9 turbo diesel will run quite happly on avtur with the ocasional tank of diesel also discos will put up with a couple of tank fulls over a period of time not that i know of coarse oh and avtur has no pigment in it so its not going to alert customs tee hee

i've built several cars now some Q plated some SVA'ed and some just VIC'ed. to be honest the "rules" have a lot of grey areas and are open to a lot of debate thus things can vairy a lot from place to place to make my point i built an ABS freestyle as did my brother mine was SVA'ed in taunton and passed my brothers which was identical bar colour failed at southampton so go figuer my tomcat on the other hand acording to the DVLA only needed a VIC which is a check carried out at your local DVLA office to see that what you tell them on paper is what you have on the road as for insurance just use a company that does kit cars as Q plates aren't a problem for them hope this helps mike

i thought it was the britpart stand that had a new engine they clearly don't know how to build. come on si bring on the X-tie the absolute must have for every offroader mike

rebecca says hi see she said you'd remember her name!!!! fantastic weekend lots of good comments about my tomcat, me well chuffed. as for birdlip i manged 30mph all the way up towing the shire shed and no over heating see will what you need is a tomcat tee hee. only down side some idiot beat my towing mirror off just after leaving hay ho mike

i'll be there to but supose i should realy as i'm chief marsal for the shires so i'm told any way

u can grind a fair amount out of the props drive flange this can give u the same angle as on a disco 2 front prop (double cardon end) this i did on my tomcat but as mine was running at a steep angle it vibrated on over run and i ended up moding the hole lot to run disco 2 front prop
