  1. Nah, that'll be me Got the rangie started monday, spent yesterday and today battling with the tow hook, but got the Dixon-Bate on, so you lot'll be able to unstuck me We'll be arriving somewhere tomorrow evening, ferry leaves at 13.10 our time. You'll be able to recognise me as the green rangie with Belgian license plates, getting winched loose by a grey Belgian Disco
  2. Looks like the perfect bit of kit to go from an A/C to air compressor.
  3. Any idea on a ballpark price for an upper tailgate?
  4. That looks very nice I wonder if I can make those Boggers fit on Lego wheels
  5. I paid via PayPay, and indeed got the £5 back. Fridge: Too bad, I was looking forward to seeing Eddie in action
  6. Don't forget to do the oil in the transfer box too.
  7. I remember reading somewhere the kickdown cable also controls tension on the clutch packs or something, and without one they wear out pretty quickly.
  8. No worries, sounds like none of the mud actually got on the road
  9. I'll get the form in ASAP then. Would it be fine if I e-mail a scanned version somewhere? Sending it by post would probably take quite a while. If you could PM me an e-mail addy to send it to + the paypal addy, I'd be quite grateful
  10. It may look nice on the outside, but I dread to think of what it looks like on the inside if the tolerances are that far off
  11. Any last date to get the form in? I didn't directly see one on the site. It'll be a close call to know if I can go.
  12. Pretty sure a shock load will make the other's tow point give in more easily than when using a kinetic strap. Personally, for off-road I have an ARB 8t kinetic strap, but only for light conditions (pull to get out of a rut for example). When properly stuck use a winch. I'm not sure what exactly the OP wants. A recovery strap or a tree/tow strap?
  13. I usually just jack it up at the front with a bottle jack and chock the wheels, then take them out one at a time. You can always put the stands on some of those thick planks (put two side by side, just as safe as some concrete IMO). Sounds like you're instantly putting new ones in, so no real need for the axle stands really.

    LED's

    Do these LEDs have an internal resistor then, or are you planning on replacing them often?
  15. Wasn't this the same one that was posted a while ago? In that case, it was definitely 6x6 with an extra prop from the PTO IIRC.
  16. Just pasting in the URL generally works (in all browsers, it's the forum software that does this), but some puntuation in URLs can throw it off. If you want to keep it simple, just do it as in the screenshot posted above. If you want to be quick about it, type it out, like so: [url=http://link-to-site.com]Text of link[/url]
  17. With some luck I'll be going, but I have an engine swap to do before I can, so nothing is set in stone yet. I've heard about the awesomeness of it, so I don't really want to miss it again.
  18. There are some laptops (don't remember the make right now, possible HP) that have a tiltable touchscreen. So you can use it as either a tablet or a laptop, which makes it a bit extra usable. Did me some googling, something like this: http://www.okobe.co.uk/ws/product/HP+Elitebook+2730P+Laptop+Tablet+PC+12.1+Intel+Core+2+Duo+SL9400+1.86+GHz+2GB+RAM+DDR2+SDRAM+120GB+HDD+with+Microsoft+Windows+Vista+Business/1000010514?ref=1q4bs
  19. A socket, a short extension bar, 2 joints right behind each other to form an 's' shape, then a few extensions so you have the space to turn it, et voila. At least, that's how I did it on my RRC, that one was a right person I'm not that keen on
  20. Everything hurts from laughing
  21. Later RRCs have the chassis number at the outrigger just infront of the RHS rear wheel, perhaps it's there?
  22. Oh my. I haven't laughed that hard in a while
  23. My Microcat seems to list something similar as ERR4235, for the D1 3.9. The part you mention is listed as ERC4626 with an "out of service" note. Hope this helps.
  24. Quite. The HTTP protocol closes the connection after every page/data load, so that's not exactly good for performance, especially when using TCP/IP. Now, if you could use Silverlight or Flash, it'd be a very different story, as setting up a socket (either TCP or UDP - UDP would probably do just fine, the possibility of a bit of lost data is unimportant) is easy. But when you're going through that trouble, you can just as well write a desktop program to do it with less overhead
