So what do 110 van sides come from ? Are they from a 90 or series van, or are they a specific 110 part ?

I don't know about hydraulics, but they do need to be autoreverse. The yanks put a solenoid in the brake line, hooked up to the reversing lights. I was looking at the back 1/2 of a 4x4 as a trailer, rather than use the tank for water, I was going to use it for fuel. Here is a link to the US valves

I had such a close escape - driving my first LR a SIII into an on-coming Rolls Royce within 500yards of buying it I've driven a LandCruiser around LandCruiser mountain park I've broken down in an Isuzu twice Nothing else to prove as at 5'2" my dad isn't bigger than anyone elses dad

Willwood also make master cylinders. I've got one of theirs on my Range Rover servo in MogLite. MogLite needed a big master cylinder for the Unimog slave cylinders. I think mine is 1 1/8" so it moves a lot more fluid. Willwood should be able to recommend a master cylinder size for your brakes. Andy

Is the Jap stuff for you - my Isuzu is the same. Compared to a LR, the alternator costs twice the amount, lasts three times longer, but takes four times the time to fit !!! With a basic toolkit, I reckon it would take the best part of a day to change my Isuzu 3.1TD altternator. Less with a good socket set and ratchet spanners, but a field repair would be a PITA. Andy

I've got a German Stema 750kg trailer One of these http://www.soundray.org/anh2/trailer.html Had it for about 6 years and its never put a foot wrong. I think you need a "proper" trailer when towing across Europe, homebuilts and ex-MOD may be illegal - but I'm not sure. Hope it helps

Wow - I can almost breath easy. Its taken a bunch of work to sort the booking out of an MOD site. But judging by the reactions it was worth the effort. There seemed to be a lot of happy 4x4'ers today. I've never seen the Shires marshalls and committee work so hard (not that they are a lazy bunch - far from it). When we added up the numbers at the end of the day and found we had 116 paying trucks - the penny dropped - we had our biggest event to date Thanks to all that drove for being very well behaved, it was only really the wet sand and water that caused us issues. Lets hope we can do it again sometime soon. Andy

Hardcore got my attention...... But I feel a little short-changed, yes to machining, degreasing and black paint. But as for hardcore, where is the turbo that doesn't fit in a wheelbarrow, and an exhaust so large it can confuse a chicken. Nitrous ? Propane ? 30 psi of boost going into an intercooler the size of a London flat ? Nah - I call an EXTREME rebuild

Also a bag of exhaust fumes is a very unpleasant thing. Squeeze most of it out, and then put the smelly thing back in the truck - yuk.

I got exactly the same, and my PC is squeaky clean too.

Good show Simon, if you are already a member - send it to Southhampton, if you need membership and advance booking - either will do - we'll work it out. Andy

Hey I resemble that remark

Nice one Jamie

How does the oil circulate ?

Be sure to come and say hello - I'm shy too

Nice one - let me know when the evaluation one is available for testing

I use PC navigator 7 - have been using it for about 12 months. I like it so much I bought a copy ( you know where this is leading !!) Autoroute is fine to use on the desk, but in a car the way it gives directions is positively dangerous IMHO. Andy

Yeah there is plenty of time to get your forms in. We can't take memberships on the day I'm afraid - doing the paperwork on the gate just doesn't work for us. Hope to see you there. Andy

I dunno a about a list of clubs. SAD's, Wessex Hill Runners, HBRO and Muddy Bottom 4x4 spring to mind Shire LRC are pretty close being Southampton area, and I'm on the committee so I've got to recommend that one. We've got a driving day on the 30th - so you don't need to look any further Slab common and its going to be a good one. Andy

As you've not given us any clues What model of Range Rover you have - they've been making them for almost 40 years - there are a few variants !! Or your intended use Mild off road ? Extreme off road ? Rabbit hunting ? Expedition ? Show ? as just a few examples I think I'm gonna suggest a full width grille as a starting point. See below

Ipod Classic 80GB Or a Canon S5 digicam have been my two best gadgets of late. I've actually only got a Canon S2, but S5 is the current one, I've had a play with it, and the big LCD is lush. Andy

Doh - the link was fine Here is the US site but watch out for the cheesy video on the opening page Andy

Nah - those ones look fine for camper vans, this one looks like it will be fine stashed in the back of a Landie

I caught these on the Gadget Show Basically its a 12V microwave, connect it to your cigarette lighter, or for better performance - straight to the battery. According to the Gadget show, it works, but is slower than domestic microwave. Sounds great for camping to me - about 200USD but I can't find anyone selling them in the UK Here is a link to some info! Dear Santa.........
