Wanted to say the site has been much better over the weekend, whatever someone has done it has helped a lot Thanks!

Well it kept me and a few others entertained I have to say -looked like you enjoyed it too

Didn't catch the driver/team (someone will no doubt be able to identify them ) but I caught this at the exit to SS5... *CLICKY* Had a good day spectating, many thanks for the warm welcome from everyone, will hopefully catch you soon!

Different ratio as well aren't they....? 5.33:1 or something....

Both my Rangie ie ones have a groove in the base of the cap for the o-ring to sit in -I have replaced them with generic rings and no trouble since....

OE leads from the dealer are now grey -they changed relatively recently, same with dizzy cap, used to be blue, now black.... That is if you meant they are blue + grey and not blue *or* grey

Stuck loading a couple of posts again, within the last 2 minutes.

Slow again, last few minutes or so....

I suppose we both have the same "I'm fed up of this" threshold

HOFS isn't a clique, it's a religion. And no idea, as I am not a member of any club at present

Doh! Within minutes of eachother..... http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=33280

Anyone else experiencing issues with the forums? The last 2 days it's been very hit and miss as to to whether I get a topic open before my patience wears out... It will just sit there on a blank page, sometimes for a few minutes before anything opens, other times it is fine.

.... to continue HFH..... Those of us on LPG should be pretty alright as well

It COULD, just hasn't been to my knowledge yet.... Don't really know what kind of feed the LPG injectors need, that would be a starting point, but this is dangerously OT, so I'll STFU

I don't use the ECU/AFM on mine (well, except the stepper motor control), as it's 99.999% of the time on LPG, the current *petrol* setup doesn't scare me THAT much that I feel the need to replace it... This is the solution for me, I have to say, I would feel rather agrieved spending out on full MS and only using it's full capability 0.001% of the time...

Thanks to Mr Bishbosh, I got my hands on a lovely hand built heavy duty rear bumper(ex-Bishtail ), all fitted now, took a while due to LR chassis tolerances, and having to tube lots of the chassis Now looking much more purposeful: More to come....

Glad it wasn't just me FF....

Did you read my last reply? Or just fail to understand it? Or is it an off-road-only vehicle? Sorry if I am being short, but I feel a bit ignored right now

Yes. It's really a very very very very very bad idea though -unless you enjoy living in the 1960s.

21J, if you are in the UK(and probably the rest of civilised europe) then by converting to coils, or shortening a disco chassis to fit your 88 you will invoke the wrath of the SVA, and leave your vehicle worth only it's scrap value. You can, however, fit the disco axles to your series on it's leaf springs -this has been done to death on here, I suggest a quick trip to the search function is in order.

You say the fuel pump doesn't whir any more? Just a click? Check the earthing to the pump if you have had it all out.

I tend to use a blowlamp where heat isn't a problem -heat the centre of the old bush until the rubber is bubbling (no need to burn it right out -the fumes are horrid) then you should be able to push it out with a large screwdriver. Then it's a hacksaw to remove a chunk of rubber from the outer casing, (this makes the next bit easier) and then hacksaw the outer case, chisel, punch and hammer do the rest -try to peel up one edge, to make it a smaller diamter -this will break the rust seal more easily.

Just push the cage in as far as possible on one side, pop the ball out from the opposite side of the cage. Repeat for all 6 balls.

How the heck did we manage that? That piece of string must have been super-accurate You're absolutely right -£65 extra is next to nothing considering what we spend on these builds...

Haven't bought from Gwyn yet, but I have spoken to him on a number of occasions, very helpful guy.... Bish, I take it this was just an upgrade on the stock prop, or did you need a different length after all?
