[LRO show]

mmmm Birdlip Hill screwed my temp completely had to stop and let the bubbling niose subside, fortunately I don' t think that the engine is damaged. May not have happened if Bearmach who had the only thermostat for a 300tdi in the show would have sold it to me, but they wouldnt as they said it was in a new engine and they might forget to replace it before it was sold.

Shame on you Bearmach I thought the landrover community was about helping each other out .

Last weekend we were replacing a gearbox on a 110 for someone who was on their way to croatia and you guys couldnt even sell me a thermostat - My next project starting this month will require an investment of about £10k i can tell you that you wont see a penny of it!

The readers of this forum - make what you will of this post.

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

Head just about stopped throbbing now!

Bloody good weekend - particularly hanging with the Shire club on Fri & Sat night. Met some good people - Rebecc....Sharon was funny!

Moglite was just awsome! The photos I've seen so far just do not give it credit. It is one of the most impressive machines I've seen yet and sets a high standard for anyone to follow. You can see the amount of thought that has gone in to the design & layout of EVERYTHING and the level of engineering & attention to detail is impressive. Hope it goes as good as it looks!

Got home a bit late - and very tired. SV managed 35mph up birdlip hill with trailer with no overheating (well done Alisport!) I'll think about unloading the Landy & trailer tomorrow - just too tired today.

Thanks all - particularly Chris for helping out on the stand.

[Prop binding!]

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
