  3. My vote is also new rad had a mate with similar probs he flushed the rad, repaced head gaskets, replaced engine but in the end it was the rad. A new rad cured it after a few weeks work and much expense replacing bits that were fine. As said earlier don't bother trying to flush you old rad, waste of time. New rad or recore is the way to go.
  4. I'm genuinely sorry to hear that was your experience. It always HLBRO's intent give everyone good value and as much access as possible. HLBRO always pull the canes after each RTV section. They always drive 4 sections before lunch. So the max is 4 sections with canes after lunch. Slab common is such a large area I can't see this having a real adverse affect to the drive round. RTV's are run with the Drive round to keep cost down for both parties. The RTV drivers also pay to drive. The hire of the army sites like Slab and Broxhead is costly. The club has made losses in the recent past even with combining the drive round and the RTV. BTW, I should say these are my personal observations not HBLRO's as I'm not a HLBRO committee member just a keen driver. I hope clubs like HLBRO can continue to offer access to off road sites like this and that the ever tightening rules, regulations and insurance costs don't put them out of bounds. Enjoy them while you can before they disappear like most of our byways.
  5. Eight small sections of the site will be taped off for RTV but as soon as RTV section is driven they will immediately be available to everyone. By lunchtime only 4 small RTV sections will remain. Please remember that this will account for a very very small area of the overall site. It's not a follow your leader. As you probably know Slab Common is a huge area and there's plenty of variety and plenty of places to test you car to it limits if that what you want.

  9. injectors? try this http://www.gensetcentral.com/troubleshooting.htm
  10. I've just replaced a seized centre diff. Before that (when it was seized) it was the same as having the centre diff locked. I did a few road up to about 50 miles on tarmac. It was fine up to about 55 mph after that you could hear the transmission wind up. At first I thought it was a wheel bearing on the way out but it turned out to be the cetre diff. No damage done to mine but obviously dont do it deliberatley. If you do it by accident I think you would be unlucky to cause any damage unless you did 100 miles plus or started doing high speeds (60 plus).
  11. This size chart my help,,, or further confuss
  12. In my experince the slight increase in tyre size usually correct the speedo reading as most leave the factory reading under the actual speed wheen checked with a GPS. Fitting 235/85 to my classic range rover that had 205/80 as satandard fittment made the speedo reading spot on
  13. This is a good package for the price and the tyres are good off road and quite on road. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/INSA-TURBO-SAHARA-4X4-MUD-TYRE-235-8516-W-T-package_W0QQitemZ280464357901QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Cars_Tyres_RL?hash=item414cfa7a0d Note these are remoulds but INSA have good a good reputation. Kuhmo offer reasonable priced 'new' tyres as do BF Goodrich, which are more expensive If you want more road biased look for an AT (All Terrian) tread patern. 235/85 X 16 or the slightly wider 265/75 x 16 are the size you need. As previous reply 235/85 for you existing rims are probably preferable. IMHO avoid 152 tyre and wheel deals and stick with 16" wheels. Ther are many wheel styles and tyre choices. A trip to yopur local idependant LR specialist is probably a good idea if your not sure.
  14. Well that a saved a wasted job. Thanks for that info, really glad I asked
