  1. If you are planning on keeping the kitten get Nige to waxoyl it ...well someone had to say it Will
  2. I would be very interested in seeing the spec for TD5 110 rear springs, they seem to sit quite high compared to mine but that may be my tyres filling the arches more... Will
  3. I have seen the Zuks in action, theres no way a LR would take the stick they take, mind you I have seen several Zuk engines die offroad. Will
  4. It would look awful Tony! Better to reinforce it inside with something and keep the good simple standard looks your 90 has Will
  5. Mark have you got a part no for them or did you get them secondhand? Will
  6. A 110 would just have reversed out of that, you chaps and your silly short wheelbases getting both axles in the mire at once..tut Will
  7. Its too fustrating for words. Remember the image whilst out laning, more 'last of the summer wine' and less 'The Fast Show'... Will
  8. Next time you get a lift in the back of a Discovery at night make sure you take a screwdriver You should come away with a pair then Will
  9. We very nearly bought one on the spot at Billing 2 years ago. I am glad we didn't, a huge waste of money in my humble opinion. I bought the boys a Mini a few weeks ago for £200 with T&T, its their car and they get the final say about paintjob etc. The boys are 4 and 5 years old I know I am too soft...I am worried about the MOT in October now as I don't think they are going to lose interest as I had thought Will
  10. its been two years or more since my speedo packed up, I must get round to getting a new cable...then again why bother I know its somewhere between 0 and 85mph, I think I will stick with the guesswork and save the cash... Will
  11. just to restart this, has anyone found the free length and rates for these yellow Britpart springs anywhere? Will
  12. If its too big for one bike then I can borrow my brothers Piaggio scooter and maybe we could ride side by side with it slung between us Tony, should be fine for the run back from Germany... Where is Germany anyway, is it far from Wheddon Cross??? Will
  13. Take some photos and report back chaps, its been weeks since I drove any lanes over your side of Exmoor... Will
  14. funny Nick never mentioned it when I saw him later in the evening We only got to the bash for the evening but Lucy managed to rip the front bumper off the Disco using the 'extreme' route into the campsite and even got it Muddy, only had it valeted 2 days ago! Grrr Will
  15. Dulux! My 110 has had Celebration Red Gloss on it for the last 5 years, if its polished it still comes up nicely. Cheap to retouch if you need to, gloss is flexible enough to apply to wood so it stands to reason its good on bendy Land Rover bodywork. I painted the Mini in International Poppy Red garage door enamel last week and its horribly orange now Will
  16. I only have one excuse... Hopefully only for about 10 days now though Will
  17. A mate has one (9000lb version) on his bobtail and says its hopeless. That may be down to wiring which he is sorting but first impressions ain't good. I will be on the look out for a Husky when the time comes, I don't give a stuff about speed, if I am stuck I want to get out not stand in 18 inches of mud cursing my decision for hours. Will
  18. Old Man Emu do a 280lb spring, they are £110 a pair though I use 330lb rears and they seem to work just fine, they articulate fully anyway. They are more comfy on the road with a load on board though Will
  19. Hell! I thought the whopping Horse Flies all over Exmoor last week were bad. Will
  20. I am rapidly running out of friends in the village now but I think I have cracked it! I will try and record it later and post it up for you all to see and hear Will
