and at least they don't damage the ground... never saw a section that smooth after you driving it.... 235/85 BFG Mud should be banned... far too aggressive

was already hinted out here... HERE

talking about his winches or trailing arms ??? if that success carries on, he will charge us to wear his branded shirts !!!!

freespool in action.... getting too easy for the winch bitch.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=am_KsYcJZ8M

still waiting for a video of Pete rolling Bathtub whilst doing his turn before the mud run... flat, about 20mph and still managed to roll it !!!! also, awaiting one of Chris Abel RR 3ft in the air over the mud run with Simon's arms in the air like in the fun ride.... that was impressive

Nanocoms are on shelves... cannot get much quicker than that...

I have the D44 bumper on mine... quality is superb, design is very good... a bit pricey, but top manufacturing does not come cheap...

all of them ? Mk1 and Mk2 ? auto and manual box?

my 3bolt flange rear diff has blown up... If I put any 24sp diff with a 4 bolt flange, what propshsaft can I use ? (disco 200 ? RR? else?) I have a disco 300tdi auto ?

currently it is the last DB in the current format (organiser are retiring as Jim said). Someone else is taking over from next year, but not much information if/what changes will be made.

Here we go... THE leak... It is not the sunroof, it is not the wind screen... Disco td5 was parked nose up, heavy rain (you may have noticed over the WE if you leave roubd London...) moved the car, nose goes downhill, and it was the shower.... lots of water running through the front seat belt opening... the headling above the rear door got wert from inside as well... This was the first time I parked it nose up under heavy rain... so ??? - alpine window ? - gutter? - sunroof ? even if I don't believe that one (I had it before... different result) else ???

mine used to squeak... was the pedal mechanism. spray wd40 wherever I could... no more squeak...

Which Sankey is the most suited to use the chassis/axle and fit a 110 rear tub on it ? I'd go for a wide track one, but expert opinion is required... many thanks

not a direct answer but... I've got a Disco td5, I fitted about a month ago a set of EBC brakes - front: vented slotted/drilled rotors with yellow pads - rear: slotted/drilled rotors with green 6000 pads it takes about 500miles before the brakes start to be really efficient. I'd say that the 1st braking in the morning is a bit sluggish, but after a mile or 2 they DO bite... It's almost if you can feel something "solid" under your foot... you have to make sure you don't go too much or the ABS light becomes to act like a christmas tree... I tuned my td5 so I wanted extra safety, so it was worth the money... now it's like putting a decent standard tyre or a performance one... one will be better but do you need it... however I don't think I would go back to std brakes now..

Got a sms from Jim this morning... apparently he jumped from 23rd to 4th.. and Stefan is 7th. Jim picked up a 15h penalty on day 1 for a DNF section. Then he blasted the other sections. They have a very hard 58km section today (and has been raining all night long)

Got an sms from Andy (Allisport)... saying more or less: everything was well and they were in the lead... then Andy Chaplin took the steering wheel and now the tomcat is suffering

Quite a few videos here: http://fr.youtube.com/results?search_query...mp;search_type=

Any news ?

Also just realised that I dont have: - rear fog light (the switch does not even illuminate) - rear window heater - courtesy lights when I open the door Could it be linked to the "multifunction unit" as named by the Haynes Manual ??? expensive?

I'll check my rear bulbs. otherwise the faults are happening with all doors closed, vehicle moving...

Hello, This is giving me headache... fault is: - no more "alarm" when I leave key in or lights on when open the door with engin stopped - no more rear wiper (if I press rear wash/wipe I get the water, but no wiper) - front wipers work in normal operation, but do not work on wash/wipe (getting the water but no wiper) I believe I've checked all fuses and they seem OK... any pointer ? I'm sure it all comes to one stupid little thing somewhere !!!

I think I spotted a recuring theme here... Jim.. do I get a prize for that ?

I should have kept the mistery !!! Amicalement Xavier

I'm a French expat living in London.. and yes, making friend within the french LR community is a strong priority of mine, as I tend to drive down to the main LR events in France.. (to see all my friends) I wrote "I may be dumb" meaning that I find weird for a LandRover club to organise a very large event (100+ vehicles) on the same WE as Landmania. It would be like someone doing a similar thing on the same WE as Billing... it can be done but why ? If there is a lot of english enthusiasts living in France (and if you live in a country, you tend to learn the language as well), why don't they mix with the french LR community ??? Landmania, the French National, etc.. are all well advertised in the french 4x4 mags and forums. There has been a number of english going to Landmania forums and they have always been very welcomed (even if they could not speak french). I know this off-road site, it is a great one... My reaction was more a "But... why that date??? " than trying to slam this initiative... apology if it was taken the wrong way.
