I run MM for Greenlaning, but for road use you are better with something like TomTom. I do have the OS 1-250k UK Road Atlas. But I just swap the memory cards to use the tomtom. I run both on a Medion PDA with built in GPS. I also have a GPS reciver for my laptop. Seting up MM on a PDA is quite easy. But I use a card reader to transfur the maps to the memory card on the PDA.

I think theres something in the ARC rules about bumpers. Paul

OT a bit, Thats parked in Gwyn Lewis yard. So why not ask him as I know he has winch controls on the front of his. Paul

I have not got the tank But the winch control in mounted on the dash. Just over from the drive leaver for the auto box. Paul

Its getting there. I just need to fix the big metal box down as it has the chainsaw and other bits. I also have made a wooden box with a draw on the top to hold the shakels and other bits, with the winch chocks under it. Just need some free time to finish it all off. Plus I need to find a place for the ground anchor and waffle boards. Paul

Heres mine. Paul

I have used one small and one large Quick Fists to hold my Jackall down. Seems to do it ok. Paul

Glad to hear they got there ok. 2 more lots to send out today. I will PM the others to let them know they are still here. Paul

Its got a 200TDI in now as well. Mine is fitted with a PTO driven Hydrolic pump for the winch. Paul

Not a problem. It will work the other way someday. Paul

Ok by me. I posted some of the others out today. Mark Fatboy MogLite Orange Mark90 headhunter You should have them later this week. Paul

Graham got this back today Paul Thanks for the e-mail. The situation in Wales is slightly different. The provisions within the CROW Act have been passed by the Assembly - they came into force on the 11th of May 2006. http://www.opsi.gov.uk/legislation/wales/w...6/20061279e.htm DEFRA also made regulations on behalf of England and Wales on Restricted Byways - these also came into force in Wales on the 11th May. http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2006/uksi_20061177_en.pdf But section 66-72 of the NERC Act have not come into force as yet in Wales - this is unlikely to happen until November - due to the elongated procedures that we have to follow in making secondary legislation in Wales. Therefore the RUPPs have been classified as Restricted Byways is Wales. The best place to see what the effect of the NERC Act provisions is to look at the Explanatory Notes for the Act - I have attached the relevant part to this e-mail. It is not easy to follow the changes here sorry - but hopefully this will set it down as to what has been commenced in Wales. Angharad Angharad Huws

Thanks for that. I know the 3 speed auto was fitted by a company in Shrewsbury, but they are no longer there. I do know that there was ment to have been quite a few converted. I am still trying to trace them and some of the history of it. Paul

Mine is an Ex-EB one as well. Same winch as BandL1 one. But I do not know if its related a the reg numder is not the same. It was also converted to auto when new. But the person I had it off said it came from down south. Paul

Hi all, It works out £9 for a pair for the small ones including P&P Big ones are the same but each. will_warne I can do you a pair of the large ones as I ordered 8 of them. I can do PayPal PO Orders Cheque or Cash. Its upto you. Please PM me with address and the way you want to pay. I might have some spares but need to see how many I use in my 110. If I do I will post here before anywhere else. Paul

Mine are poping out all the time, so its jubalee clips for now. I do know Gwyn Lewis is working on a new design (I have seen it today ) I am hoping to be one of the first to get them when they are done. Paul

Instructions.

These are the mounts http://www.gwynlewis4x4.co.uk/page24.html Paul

I have Pin topped shocke on the rear same as the front. The mounts were made by Gwyn Lewis. He told me it took him a long time to get them right. But they move the mount up and forward. Paul

I have +5 inch shocks fitted (http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=5506) and have not looked at the ball joint. But I will now. I have about another 2 inches of travel left. Paul

I know what you mean. I read the email yesterday. It came from a Welsh MP. Paul

I have seen a email that was received Thursday from Powys CC that confirmed that the RUPP/RB section of the NERC Bill became law in Wales on 11/5/06!!! Sorry folks!!! Paul PS Thanks to Graham.

The man who build the RR/Sierra has posted a lot of pics on the Mud Club forum. Paul

Well I am trying to do them for cost and not to make money on them. Large ones are the same price as a pair of singls ones. I do not know how much they way so I do not know how much they will be to post. The only thing I know the Jiffy bags are £1 for 4 from the pound shop. Also if people are having more than on pair then the P&P will be less. I think £10 should cover it. But as I have said I will post it monday. Paul

The RUPPs are lost in England and Wales.. But The Gap and Sarn Helen should be ok as they will come under the 5 year rule. This rule states that if the main use over the last 5 years was MPV use then it will carry the rights to drive/ride it. But this might have to be proved on a case by case study. BBNP have said they WILL keep them open as long as they the idots dont trash them, if they do they will look at them again. Another point to note CROW/NERC can not change the rights on a UCR, but Dual routes are lost. But if its a foot path over a UCR then its a Dual and all right are lost(for MPVs) but as said it can not change a UCR. This is only going to be decided in court. On another note I had a very good meeting with Northhamptonshire ROW the other day. Got another in a few weeks. So there could be some good news down there soon. Paul
