That is a good idea, the 1.1 on a tuned tdci and std tyres would mean you could actually use 1st!
-
quite a few newer vehicles do this. if the performance of the servo is not degrading then dont worry. ie if you come off and brake again and it does it sharply in a short space of time then dont worry.

we are looking to go for 2019

this may answer my other boost quesiton - 20-25psi on a 30tdi then?
-
as an aside i left the FIP diaphram pressure feed connected to the turbo outlet so its running slightly advanced of the turbo pressure feed so fuel delivery is not lagging.
-
was googling trying to find a max acceptable boost level for my 2.8tgv.
the vehicle is running an uprated intercooler and tweaked pump.
it used to max at 720EGT.
i recently changed the VVT feed from the outlet of the turbo to the back of the manifold so the vanes now change with respect to the pressure at the back of the inlet manifold rather than at the exit of the turbo compressor side.
Massive difference in driveability of the vehicle and EGT are generally down as more air is now going in for any set fuel delivery relative to pressure. (as i understand it)
Also decided to fit a boost gauge at the inlet manifold feed. 1.2-1.4Bar so too much for a tgv head? anyone know how it would fair on a 300tdi head running at 1.2 to 1.4bar? (17-20psi)

distorted case would be my guess. same issue here.

synthetic should be spooled on under load to avoid it biting down through the layers. if you have to spool it on loose. like having pulled out more than is required to get to the anchor point when you are stuck then criss cross it back on, once will do then it will only bit to that cross. after the next loaded pull, unspool the rope back to where it was criss crossed and spool it back on under load.
the problems of not doing this were highligted to many when freespool drums first came to the competition scene.

Or they may try making the effort to code the site properly, either way...
Thank you for your feedback, you are the first i have heard coming back to us with a problem with the website. i am not that good on the old computers, feedback very welcome. thank you.

Just got the maggi on top now and back is coming along!

i am still lost as to what your issue is here, its an event based at a farm in the national park that has a greenlane excursion as part of the event. there is no mention that the greenlane trip is in the national park.
So you have one bit of info about the National Parks lanes being out of use, i accept that, thats great, what i meant was have you actually researched the rest of the event. ie asked them where the greenlaning is taking place, looked into what they are actually doing. I guess not.
its easier to just criticise and make assumptions i guess and try to paint a bad picture at others peoples expense when you have nothing to loose.
-
Oh the irony of holding it in an area that's closed most of it's lanes and is anti 4x4.
have you really researched this or is this a throw away comment?

Durite voltage sensing relay to connect two up think it switches at 13.6 and drops out at 13.2 or similar. fit that in the charge wire between +ves
then have a second wire to bypass the switch with a hand switched isolator on 35 or 70mm (depending on other wiring in vehicle for winch) to link the two togther when winching or for jump start.
or use a winch solenoid as the isolator
i use 2 x Numax leisure MF27s.

would love to go back, but sadly not this year.

I've blown a few motors competing. There's 2 reasons really. Over reving, which isn't going to happen on a husky! The other is heat! Working hard & long will make things hot, as will a battery that's a bit tired or flat. Motors don't like working with low volts.
Cheap motors, even warn xp's use soldered comutators, the solder melts, end of motor.
One main reason most challenge competitors use bow motors is that the coms are copper braised.
^^^ what he said, overloaded i think

A drive round day with us or come and join us at the BigOutdoors weekend?

i have a defender 200tdi in an H reg 110 with a 6 bolt box.
it needs a new steering box.
as you cant easily get 6 bolt boxes, i was thinking of fitting a 4 bolt box.
Does anyone know if the current pump and therefore pipework will fit? pump is NTC8287
if not what pump and pipe work would i need to match the 4 bolt box?
many thanks

i have just fitted two CXV27MF in parallel to the 110 - just bought
i have one CXV31MF in my tractor - 4 yrs old
i have one CXV31MF in the 90 hardtop with winch 5 years old
i have four CXV27MFs (2 in parallel, 2 in series) in the trayback 6 years old
i have two CXV27MFs in parallel in the truck cab - 8 years old
i have one CXV31MF in RR - 1 year old

Hi David, thank you for the offer, think i am sorted now, went for Numax a few weeks back!

i am not getting very far with this, dont suppose an egr vac solenoid works on similar pressure? anyone know?

I have used Richard's in the past, fitted 4 or 5 of them now and wouldn't use anyone else. slightly steel, decent galv, no runs, no holes to clear or retread and everything lines up.
by comparison the shoulder bulkhead we had for last rechassis needed 13hrs of fettling work to get it to fit. major issue being warped in the middle and bowing in. the time consuming issue being each an every square hole of screw plastic inserts had to.be filed out.
