    SVA for ROW spec?

    in International Forum

    Posted

    You won't get a factory '08 300Tdi as they stopped building them in '06 :) any that are still around should be 2006 model year but yes there are some still unsold. Usually any colour as long as its white, and with aircon fitted.

    I would be interested to know how they get around the emission regulations for the UK market though...

    Foleys import LHD brand new 300tdi defenders from South Africa. They had one parked on the CRAG stand for part of the day at Billing as they did not want anyone to nick it as it was on trade plates and not regestered in the UK as yet.

    Loss of public rights of way

    in International Forum

    Posted

    Found this on a well-known website;

    "Countdown 2026

    Unless action is taken to stop it, in 2026 an unprecedented removal of public rights will take place and thousands of rights of way will be lost forever.

    Many of the public rights of way under threat are used every day and some are British institutions, being part of much-loved national trails. In fact, it's even possible that a path you've been using for years to get to the shops or walk the dog is on the hit list.

    What we're doing about it and how you can help

    We're lobbying Government to get the law repealed. You can help by signing our petition on Number 10 Downing Street website."

    So whose is it? CRAG? GLASS? Well stone me, its from the Ramblers web site! Perhaps they will now begin to understand what it is like to feel like a persecuted group of law-abiding, like-minded enthusiasts, whose hobby is being threatened. Can't say I'm that sympathetic to their cause. :angry:

    See http://www.ramblers.org.uk/footpaths/misc/cutoffdate.html

    Well CRAG www.crag-uk.org GLASS www.glass-uk.org

    I have known about thisfor a while. It applys to ALL ROW not just FPs, BOTS and UCR and stuff that is not on the map as well.

    The biggest problem is when its gone its GONE for ever, so if the road to your house is on the List Of Streets and not on the Definive map by 2026 then you WILL lost the right to drive to your house. Theres no appeal at all. this is why later this year I will start theprocess to add them to the DM. But every one will need to do it.

    well Paul's is the same size as mine :D : D you better come along Paul for moral support- best take the arches off mind- one gateway up on the moors last time scrapped both sides of the car at the same time so it was a wee bit tight.

    Well I have a crack in one arch and the others have deep gouges in them :rolleyes: . I will point this thread out to my mate whohas the 57 plate 110 to see if he wants to come.

    OI there was loads of room last time- at LEAST 2-3mm on either side. Anyway it gave you and Stu a chance to get the winches out AND you had an audience of beautiful young ladies!

    Back on topic- Chris i'd be up for something- how a big hunt the waypoint on the plain? would be a little closer than our last expedition!

    Just to add to this, my 80 series is smaller that my mates 57 plate 110, just a little wider because of the arches, but these may becoming off soon!!

    Well put mine in today, got the ones from D4x4. They work well,still got a bit of a shake from 45-50mph. But steady as anything at 90.

    I never went far in it, about 6 miles, but the more miles I did the better it got.

    How much? As in cost ;) bb's about £20 to do 5 wheels, counteract's £8 a wheel so £40 in total. Expensive shipping from D44 though at £10, so buy at a show like Billing.

    Hope this helps

    Steve

    Thanks Steve, I need them before Billing so looks like I will have to pay the P&P. So off i go to the D4x4 site.

    You want BB gun pellets - at least according to Pirate.

    I have them in my MT's care of Steve G - and they seem to work pretty well.

    Si

    I have heard of people useing them before, but never knew of anyone useing them.

    So they do work then? I can get hold of them easy, but only if they work.

    I can find them on the Scrapiron site, but do not want to give them my money. I see D4x4 sell some of the same type, but do other places sell them and what do people who have used them think of them?

    Yeah, to legally put the signs up, you need a (dirty) hi-viz vest, a knackered old transit tipper with a compressor on the back,some cones and a copy of the sun/sunday sport on the dash!

    I just need the transit and compressor now then, unless a mini digger will do :P
