well... the Dutch text says in the first lines:
"This is the day I have been dreaming of for years. we gather with a 60-odd remaining rally cars and are standing - with a new clutch - in a row on top of a dune, watching the motorcycles start."
Guess they just kept on changing clutches...
To their surprise they won though. They say that they did not know until their names were announced ad T1-Diesel class winners, and 3rd in rookie of the year...
Filling up with the right grade of Diesel?
I suppose that you have checked that as well... If not the plugs neither the compression, I'd say it is lacking some fuel upon start-up...
What if you would make an access hatch for the area behind the seats and put the board on their sides? A bit like the military jerry can hatches of the 110's. You'd have 179 cm to play with, plus you could reach them from either left or right side of the vehicle, which ever would be easiest or which would stick out of the mud...
I am Dutch, living in Belgium, work in France, UK, Germany, Spain, Singapore, Japan, States, Brazil, Italy, Costa Rica...
International enough?
(Have a Brazilian wife, Belgian kids and speak French, Dutch, German, English, Spanish and Portuguese...)
Guess that should do it
And the mechanics will tell you... "Are you stoopid? From '91 and you expect warranty?"
Even if you do not drive the vehicle, there is a time limit for warranties as well...
And I have one...
With them ridiculously small and unreadable Belgian plates.
Dutch police to Belgian government:
- We have a problem with your licence plates, we can only read 20% of them...
Belgian government to Dutch police:
- Wow, how do you do THAT? We can only read 15%...
Up until 5 years ago the Belgian police had 5 working speed cams. All 5 in the Flemish part of Belgium...
I would believe that finding parts will be possible for a lot longer than there are Defenders being assembled. Parts suppliers did not stop when the Series stopped being produced...
Ford part of GM? That is news to me... I would guess that GM would take a blow, but that any blow that Ford would take (And thus Land Rover) would be independent from GM...
Dunno if Land Rover did roll ups, but Santana do flip-ups on their Anibal...
Sorry... I think that you cannot really see the flip-up window here... Someone's blocking the view!
Other picture, not necesarily better one though! (No one blocking the view)
See it now?
I got torpedoed saturday evening whilst overtaking on the highway. I was doing the legal speed limit when the chav behind me, who was doing his speed limit, decided that it took too long and rammed into the back of the Voyager I was driving. (Luckily no real damage)
Me and my pregnant wife did not think that it was funny at all, and whilst slowing down called the police. On the hard shoulder the guys came out of the car and started threatening me, throwing abusive expletives at my wife, all because they thought it was my fault for not getting out of the way. The front of their car was completely messed up.
At that time the police arrived, and told them nicely but surely that they had it all wrong, handcuffing them in the mean time. Seemed that the police stopped one car further up the highway that had seen everything and had almost flipped sideways due to the debris left by our lads.
The police said that it is all up to driver responsibility. They also said that I should be lucky for driving such a large vehicle, as a simple eurobox would not have survived...
The lads are up for attempted manslaughter and might be getting 4 to 5 years. No sticker in the world would prevent any of this behaviour to go away, and these people are much more likely to run over any one than the usually responsible 4x4 driver (...of which I am one as well)
Should the side lights and the indicators not be on the outside of the vehicle, ie on the corner. I believe MOT will fail you when the indicators are between the headlights if these are independent units.
Had the same on a friend's Corsa. He fitted a 'security' flickering LED, and Hey Presto, 5 guys pushing the vehicle 5 days later... Not knowing what caused the leak, he then fitted a battery charge indicator, which drew even more power from the battery, and the pushing event repeated itself after 3 days...
:lol:
Just for the record: It was actually a friend of mine that had the Corsa, not 'a "friend" of mine'. He now has come to his senses and has since upgraded to a nice mountain bike. B)
