Even in the cold & wet of slab we still had extremely sweaty helmets!!!!

Only the one.... We may need to fit some air con!!!

Hi Neil... Sorry to be a pain but will it be ok to enter as a standard car (class 3)for the 1st round? After a long discussion with Dom at the weekend we would like to enter in my Lightweight as neither of our cars are likely to be ready as they are being prepped for Morocco!! It will meet the regs ok & we are aware we need to wear crash helmets as it is a soft top! I`ll even put a winch on it!! We dont want to miss out on this one (being the sponsors) pleeeeeease. Paul

Hi Alan.. Scrutineering & start of event on 25th April Event finish in Marrakech on 2nd May Allowing for a few days travelling either way means 2 weeks off work.....WOO HOO!! We do have some volunteers willing to take a car there allowing the driver to fly out & meet up in Morocco if that helps!! Paul

Due to the recent trend of getting your dates in early, (and being nagged!!) here are our dates for 2008! The Tuff Trophy challenge will be the first weekend event and will be held 5th - 6th April 2008 at Tuff Terrains, Llandrindod Wells, Wales. There is limited availability for this event so book early to avoid disappointment. 4 confirmed so far!!!!! The Slindon Trophy challenge will be held on the weekend of 2nd-3rd August so the sun should be shining for this one!!!!! We are also running 4 novice events this year which will be team events, dates are to be confirmed for these but we would like feedback so we know how much interest we have. Go to www.challenger4x4theclub.co.uk to obtain forms etc. Look forward to seeing you all there next year. Mrs Bass x

Dom & myself were teamed with Glynn Yates & Barry Gee...Team 9. We are told we came 10th but dont know for sure as we missed prize giving/ scoring as we were out rescueing Alan Kemp There is a link on the Devon forum to youtube footage taken by the marshall of us on sections 1-6

If you are having a few extra made Nige, I could put some in the shop for you!! Paul B

Part numbers in the Durite catalogue are.. Servicing Nippon Denso 2.4 kw gear reduction starters. 0-341-36 for the battery contact. 0-341-37 for the other. Supplied in pairs of each type. If you dont have a Durite supplier try SED in Guildford 01483 538038 Hope this helps! Paul

I looked into this a while back when TD5 starters were still very expensive & found the parts in the Durite catalogue listed in japanese starters (iirc). if you cant find it I will dig out the part number when back at work tomorrow. Paul
