    Paul,

    Just after Billing, you asked about changing the engine to better suit your auto. You were insistent that the auto MUST stay, but a load of us gave you advice at that time on various options. You could re-visit those posts.

    What's changed to make you alter what you want?

    Well the bits I keep breaking are the custom parts. I was going to change the engine, but after thinking about it I am still left with all the custom parts. I was offered a GM V8 diesel and kit to fit, £250.

    So I have decided to its either back to a manual, all standard parts or sell it as it is.

    Do you have the transfer box as well? Is it a 1.6? I may take you up on the offer.

    I do have the transfer box, but not sure what the ratio is, its an NAD so great if you need bigger tyres.

    PM me if you need more details or want my mail address/phone number

    Will do as soon as I decide what I am doing. Do you have the props aswell?

    So here are the questions,

    1, How much would the winch be worth?

    you say its not working as it should, it would fetch more if you could get any problems rectified before you take it off...

    2, How much for parts to convert back to a manual? (will need clutch master cylinder and peddle as well).

    I am breaking an ex Mod 110 which has the gearbox and all other bits still in situ - yours for £170.00 (or would swap for winchy)

    3, How much would the 3 speed auto box, with all bits be worth?

    there (IMHO) does not seem to be the market for the 3 speeds, so unless your looking at someone who has a similar box for spares...

    4, How much is the conversion plate worth?

    as above

    5, Should I do it or not?

    personally, I consider getting prices for what the vehicle as a whole would be worth, then you can balance if its worth changing or buying a manual....

    Thanks for that.

    The winch works, but needs thePRV setting higher to get it pulling more. Just finding someone to do it.

    Do you have the transfer box as well? Is it a 1.6? I may take you up on the offer.

    Need to do some thinking first.

    Right, here we go.

    As most of you know my 110 is fitted with a 3 speed auto. It was, am I led to believe one of 10-12 that were converted for Southern Electric board. It’s never been fast 60 tops, nor will it ever be as it’s a LR. It was fitted with the 200TDi by the last owner.

    Here lies the problem, as it’s an auto most things that go with the auto box are custom made. So I am thinking of changing it back to a manual. In the name of more speed (not a lot) as it is not good on hills. Also it will be easier to get parts for.

    I have never got the winch to work with enough power as it should, it will pull 2.5T and that’s it. It’s a hydraulic pto driven Superwinch 525. So thats coming off as well.

    So here are the questions,

    1, How much would the winch be worth?

    2, How much for parts to convert back to a manual? (will need clutch master cylinder and peddle as well).

    3, How much would the 3 speed auto box, with all bits be worth?

    4, How much is the conversion plate worth?

    5, Should I do it or not?

    Is this the same track explorer from way finder website?

    It's got an interesting user interface...

    What's the status for me pulling data from wayfinder for process into other applications? I have had a look at how track explorer is interfacing and I can use the same interface I guess.

    I just want to download areas and push them into Ozi, possibly via an Ozi plugin.

    I can't find any terms of usage for the information or website

    I can not answer that as I do not know sorry. But if you email Jon viathe Way Finder website he can tell you.

    Can anyone tell me what band an 07 XS 110 Station Wagon is in ?

    I heard a rumour, if you get one with unglazed rear panels, it fits into a lower VED band.

    Can anyone confirm/deny this ?

    Thanks

    Andy

    For £12 i would have thought it would be worth buying one and cutting the vertical wing flap bit off so it mounts horizontal on the top of the wing. thats what i did anyway.

    Any pics?

    Do you mean somthing like the rollcage version on here,nice but £££££££££££££££

    http://www.innovation4x4.co.uk/snorkels.htm

    No it wants to come out of the top of the wing.

    like this?

    look for some alluminium tube , usually found in flues. some flexi and your away.

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=012

    Yes some thing like that, just a same I have the rest of it, just need the bit that goes through the wing.

    I will end up changeing the one for the side of the wing and putting it on the top.

    Paul, Check Southdowns ebay shop, Dave sells them seperatly, I got the whole set up for £105 I think the Wing mount is £12.50.

    If you have a roll cage get it as tight to it as possibe as it will sit on top on the heater box.

    Ebay number 110170345873

    I did find them on ebay, but its not what I am looking for.

    I have just spent 45 mins searching for a pic of what I want, but can not find one.

    check the Autumn deals on is site he advertises the bits seperatley

    I have seen them, but thats not what I am looking for. I amgoing for a roll cage after christmas so I want one that goes in the top of the wing and not on the corner or side. So I do not have to move it when the chage is fitteds. Looks like I will have to make one.
