just my opinion but to be honest i keep seeing there stuff going up and up in price, I do think £180 is way over the top but you can never knock the quaity of there stuff its top notch but top money. it must have an impact on their sale records.

i was just thinking of using the disco hand brake lever on mine as thought it a bt nicer that the defender one. once i get the thing back together will let you know how it goes

Anyone in the know rate these. Just thought not a bad setup for a rear winch. I dont know to much about them to be fair so anyone , that can give a view on it http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150442780425&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

great day cheers Neil. Didnt find to much of an issue with the sections we worked our way through the red yellow tapes heading towards the punches maybe we went through an extra one on the way if it was close but end result was the same, thanks for righting the class for us we could have certainly done with an extra winch or 2 on the last 2 rounds :-)

you were right soon as they were finished. i managed to get a lot done today and fired it up fingers crossed out for a drive tomorrow

had to change the engine but making progress, got a busy week a head of us. should be there unless something goes mega wrong

been out with the air brush then rob.

we have teh engine to fit and sort out and few electrics been a tough few weeks but got some time of work now.. Looking forward to the football and the jail bait :-) anyone know the name of the hotel.

thanks all for the help its alive. threesheds you were right dirty and corroded contacts in a few places. done 40 miles already and she is running sweet.

plot thickens. getting only 8v tot he fuel pump feed. appears to be not enough to turn the pump. going to try by passing the relay and see it that fires it up otherwise i think ecu maybe

found that , page 3 at the bottom. will let you know outcome

got the fuel pump running and fuel is reaching to the injector rail and returning to the tank ok. checked the earths on the back of the head and runa jump lead to them from the batt earth. Presume what ever opens the injectors isnt. , is there anyway to by pass the air flow sensor . jump it with some wires . presume that will have some control over the injectors. before its ecu route. will continue with wire checks on the relays etc. but anyone have any further ideas?

meant to say. fuel pump has a blue and black wire and a brown, presume blue black must be earth.

thanks mate, i think your on the money with what you said, nothing out the pump at all. i think its the earth as nothing on the meter, i will check it again today and do the hot wire. will let you know

v8 90 3.5 efi , been stood a while but run up now and again, to give a bit of back ground been run up a lot recently did about 70 miles yesterday , cut out when ideling but started again 2 mins later. then did it again after about 20 mins of running , had to wait 10 mins to start then , filled it up as thought maybe fuel. got worst until the point it wouldnt start. fuel tank is newish so ruled out carp in the fuel tank, plugs are dry as a bone ( only a few weeks old. I had 10 mins today to look. getting nothing out the fuel pump no noise expected it to run a bit with ignition on when cranking. getting clicks from the relays next to the ecu. took the pipe of the fuel pump nothing, sucked a bit thorugh to prime it , still nothing. so im thinking its fuel pump/ wiring related . the pump has 2 wires on it are these + as presume its earthed via the tank, any help will be great as this is a bit of a hybrid ecu behind the seat with 3 relays there , not sure what these do but one was clicking so presume a fuel pump relay. I can see this beinga long process.

Had a search about and I get a number of hits , maybe too many so thought i d ask currently got a v8 90 auto. engine and box out of a rangie. its the 3.5 efi thinking 300 tdi or 200tdi. I suspect the auto box wont fit on the back of those engines. is it a case of fitting engine and box out of a disco or will i face issues where the gear stick goes etc. anyone know a good link or info on what boxes go on what and in what.

thats what i thought, I suspect Neil will be a long soon

as we are around 4 weeks to go for round 2 are we having another night section? will it be the same format as round 1? I recall something about only 2 night sections for this series?

oldman emu no other :-)

I agree with you rob, I could understand the rant if it give you an advantage it probably makes things worse mud going all over the place. Like your avitar pic thou, showing how it looks without flaps :-) lol.. You might need to upgrade from corn flake packet mud flaps to Frosties see if they last longer. ( trying to make lite of the comments Mark)

I saw interesting mud guards but didnt see any not fited at the start. Wont name names but I saw mud guards after the first night stage on the floor

nice slide show mate

yeah certainly waiting for the vdeos and pictures :-)

hopfully its just people late in putting their entry in , as I do fancy this next year if i get the right truck

thought it was a great event well thougth out, i suspect wales next time will be even harder. (although this was hard enough :-)) big list of things to fix for next event, thanks to all that give us a little help when needed, ( springs popping out etc. ) i have arms like garth now as the power steering went early on the night stage, but thought it was great cheers Neil and Marshalls
