i agree steve the event was run well its just a shame about the disco roll, as i say other than that it was a bloody good day. id say the organisers did a good job.

personally i would go for the silversrtone, because the block are slightly further apart so they don't fill up so quikly. the fedima ive heard are very heavy and the simex are extremely expensive

hi all
i went down yesterday and had a good day, at first i was a bit dubious but they ran it well. but the only worrying thing is the marshals down there have not got a clue what they are doing bar 1 0r 2 of them this was shown when they pulled a disco ON TO its roof trying to recover it.
but they are hoping to run it every three weeks.
watson
firstly good luck hughie
secondly i emailed portlerover they other week and got a good informing email back, i was very impressed with the service, have you considered ashcroft to make your shafts??

to me it sounds as if your clutch is slipping, does it rev to high pulling off and does it feel slugish to pull off (yes i know it is a land rover)
josh
well basically we need to know the laws, the politics how to get through borders without being aressted or shot, were should avoid like the plague and were we should go, how long it might take driving ages.
everything basically its only in the early parts of planning
thankyou

hi jst
if i remember rightly you just disconnect the battery so nothing can short, then disconnect the cables off the motor but remember were they go because it can be a sod, and then there are two long bolt in the back of the motor, undo both of them then pull the motor off but be-carefull of the gasket unless you want to replace it
i am sure someone will correct me if i am wrong
