does anyone know where i can get one from?

Was a good event, we had a few problems, the 1st was the diff exploding at 11am on saturday! some of you probably heard the grinding as we limped back upto the field, luckily we had a spare so cracked on with fitting it, (thanks to the lads from devon 4x4 for lending us another jack! then we retuned to do a few more punches just before the end! today, well we got off to a good start, then we hit the bogs in widcombe moor, they were interesting, we boiled over and lost lots of water, we ended up so bogged in we had to triple line pull on the rear to get out, with the water sorted we returned to the same area, in the end i lost count of the amount of times the ropes snapped, at last count i think it was, front 4 times, rear 3 times and the spare twice! not quite sure what was going on, punches were interesting tho! then at the end of the day we lost power steering again so called it a day! thanks the bob/bert for taking my car/trailer down on the truck again! and thanks to all the organisers/marshalls! think this may of been my last event of the year! roll on next year and a complete new truck! cant wait!

bump! somebody must know

ive had a good search through the topics but havnt really turned anything up of any info! has anyone done this? is there anything to look out for, engine mounts, gearbox mounts? cross memebers? etc etc

ive had no emails yet james since sending entry! Ian

basically, will a truck cab from a series 3 fit onto a 90? what are the differences? if any?

the way that they are curved to match the shape of the rim, who sells them?

after walking around billing yesterday, i noticed many trucks wearing this style of beadlock, at first i thought it was mainly mach 5's, but then i noticed gigglepin's truck had then on an 8-spoke design rim? look neater than the usual discs? can anyone shed any light on it? Ian

hasnt one of the gigglepin traybacks for one in?

ive got a 200tdi discovery engine fitted in my 90, running the original lt77 gearbox and the original transfer box? is it possible to convert it to auto box? if so what is needed and from what vehicle? has anyone on here carried out this conversion before? ive had a search of the boards but turned anything up? Ian

il check the bonnet switch out, thanks! and its dark blue

looking good, its got me thinking about doing this to mine as wherever i position the snorkel it gets smashed about! how come youve had to move the brake and clutch pipe mate?

a 1997 disco 300tdi, when the sun comes out in the morning and the car warms up the alarm will go off once, and once only until the next day! anyone come across this before? Ian

can anyone pick me a bulkhead up and bring it to slindon in august? there will be some beer tokens in it for you! Ian

good pics, some cracking pictures of mine in there!

im confused, can someone explain how the amount of points you get for each punch is calculated with the more people that collect that punch?

i normally remove the top housing as the gear can drop down as you pull the motor out!

Was a good day, very hard terrian though, just about recovered 24hours later, we did ok, had a few problems, firstly rear winch lost its earth, so we temporily used a jump lead to get us off the punch, we repaired that (think it was some buildwas clay between the earth lead and motor), then we snapped the front winch rope, after that i lost 1st gear and had to keep switching the engine off to get into 1st, and by the end of the day the front winch kept popping into free spool as the top gear has collapsed, but we managed to carry on until 3.30. only other things were the battered doors, but looking around everyone seemed to have the same issues! and a severly bent rockslider, was a good site and some cracking punches! Thanks James! some pics to follow, only off my phone as i forgot my camera again! think anton from oec, david bowyer and james got some goods pics so get them uploaded! pic2 pic 3 pic4

tony, ive got near enough an exact matching on of those on the passenger door from uplowman, was that by any chance the punch you waited for me to come out of?

when i fitted mine i was loosing the trip reading, but the next day it was fine, so i persumed there is a back up battery in there thats needs to charge up!
