  1. if you have a rebuilt turbo it will be in there warranty that you must change the turbo oil feed pipe as a minimum, for the cost of the oil pipes vs the cost of another turbo/engine is it worth it?
  2. are the guages reading odd? i would check the earthing of the ecu & its mounting plate (run an extra earth wire to the neg on the battery always helps) after that check & clean the multi earth point on the bulkhead in the area of the expansion bottle
  3. if he had a suit of armour, nige would no doubt earth himself whilst welding & stick it all together
  4. i spoke to ian ref a winch for you steve, if you want to borrow one, give me a shout, in regards to daans coment on the rocks, i had considered using a set of 265 bfg muds, but after our shakedown event in the spring at walters, the advantage they would give in some areas for our truck, were outwayed elsewhere, imho for your truck i would believe you to make up enough time on the fast bits that running a 33/35" silverstone extreme (as an example) would be sufficeint on the rocks, one thing of note, is that the silverstones are a nice soft compound, in comparison to the fedimas being quite a hard compound & also being quite heavey as they are based on truck carcass's. we have swapped out maxxis creepy crawlers & gone for the trepador comp stickkies in an attempt to allow us to have more grip available on the rock sections than what we had with the creepys, as much as the creepys were an awesome tyre, im hoping the treps will have the edge
  5. this is what i have on my truck nige, had one on my previous truck also http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DURITE-WATER-TEMP-GAUGE-52mm-IDEAL-FOR-BOATS-0-523-23-/290772946308?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_BoatEquipment_Accessories_SM&hash=item43b36b0d84

  7. i had a set of rover tracks shafts & cvs, lovely pieces of kit & at a very good price also, unfortunatley i broke one at KOV & im still working on the warranty issue at the moment, i ended up buying a set of ashcrofts to keep racing so ive ended up spending out twice, to be fair its the only failure in 5 years, however it couldnt happen at a worse time
