  1. Have you checked the panhard rod bushes?
  2. I know that of the howling wolf marshalls at least 3 of us are trained first aiders.
  3. As more and more people run on bio fuel, how about a bio /waste oil fuel setup? you can make a start / stop diesel tank, all the solenoids and switchgear with timers and temperature controlled if you want to be more involved? it can all be mounted on a board as a display or vehicle fitted.
  4. The sedimentor on thye rear chassis acts as a pre filter,
  5. Looking at the pictures above talk about complain over deep water at Kirton that looks even deeper
  6. My mate is breaking a 300 disco with a grab handle, but Im sure its grey.
  7. Winch solutions do 6hp motors fairly cheaply
  8. stick a jack under the nose, and lift it slightly.
  9. If you are struggling to hold the shock body, use an exhaust clamp. dependant on the size of tyres fitted it can even be done without taking the wheels off, but it make life easier if you do.
  10. Yea £5 wont keep crewcab in halfshafts
  11. It always suprises me how many compies just drive a section, until someone comes up with a better way, such as starting and finishing in reverse at Cowm last month, saves a 7 point turn. Nick if marshals dont get paid or even petrol money how else did you think you would end up but out of pocket?
  12. I did the daily driver with one last year, seems to work, cant remember which one tho.
  13. Can I say we did drive a lot of the punches to set them out, but we managed to kill the Unimog, you may have noticed me towing it to the gate before the prizegiving? Niel did ask for the general level of punches to be not as "extreme" as before but I think the downpour overnight raised the water levels some. on the punches we set out in the lake you had to pick your course as one line was 5ft deep and another only 2 ft. a bit of walking beforehand and you would have found the way? we usually volunteer to man a SS all day as did another few people, rather than be roving about all day, partly as we took "Her" disco rather than mine, and partly due to post op recovery, I know marshals like to watch the technical stuff, as do we all, and agree we cannot be everywhere at once, but when someone is seen Im sure a watch can be put on them?
  14. The problem with Kirton is what looks like 3 ft of water with a solid bottom, is actually 3 ft of water with 4 ft of soft mud.
  15. I`ve met you Swanny you would never pull a looker like her
  16. Gold digger had loads of deflectors at Billing
  17. We did the week, monday to monday, with ORRP apparently there was a show somewhere? I went with cash in my pocket to buy a radiator for her disco, didnt find one. brought most of my cash home. for the first time in about 8 years I wasnt marshalling the off road course. nice to have time to wander about meeting old and new friends.
  18. Halfrauds sell a air con bomb, about a tenner IIRC.
  19. Recently the forum rather than showing what posts one after the other in a thread, shows the first, and a list of names, I find this annoying, is it a new setting or can I opt out?
  20. Discoparts do one for disco`s and classic range rovers.
  21. Guess what? I got a phonecall to say that even though they took my order over the phone, the dont have any until probably next week, order cancelled, I knew Paddocks were a mistake.
  22. right I have just orderd a pair, assuming paddocks deliver they are going in the week after next?
