Getting a little worried now if you guys turn up It is nothing like what you have ever done..............as it is pretty tame but as I said it is very well organised and a friendly little meet. When I say tame, don't expect to drive it all
muc-off is very good. Whatever you use, steam clean it first, then apply the cleaner, maybe scrub with a brush abit, then steam clean it off and you should have a very clean engine
If I run my ss ltb's at say 6psi will that risk popping the inner bead? They have an 8ply side wall remember!!! It is just I am cautious about fitting these tyres without tubes as to take them all off again to fit tubes would be a nightmare and a job I really don't want to have to do twice Hmmmmm.........What do I do???
I agree on that one, as I have driven a chipped td5 and once the turbo is completely spooled up then it can be quite responsive but agressive and a little harsh. Not quite as responsive as a standard v8, but the v8 is smoother through the entire rev range, along with a well sorted mildly tuned 200 or 300, which also gives a smoother power feed.

The wheels have 4.5" backspace so I will run spacers, and that will then give me around 3.25" backspace. So should be about right, and therefore I will receive my steering lock back.
Money, money, money Hmmmmm........more things are going to be happening to my drivetrain soon with my ss ltbs (when they arrive!)
Uprating things is on my to do list
Anyway, back to topic
It doesn't work like that as the back springs are heavier duty to allow for the load to be carried. So when the springs are switched around the front will sit very high. How do I know???..................A friend of mine has done it
I have an auto in a v8 bobtail, and yep, absolutly superb. But I have broke 3 diffs in the last year. So I think it depends on what engine you are running diesel or petrol
I have said no, purely because it is a diesel and really I prefer a v8 with an auto box. But if it was a electronic diesel, like the td5 or dse tuned then, maybe an auto.
Just my opinion, and I am pretty sure it will remain around 50/50

Have you put the right springs on the right side. i.e, you may have put the rears on the front which would make it sit very high at the front but not at the back.

Hi Steve,
I have a kenlowe sucking fan on my bob, and like you rely on it to keep going as I have a v8. I have ahd it on there for around 2 1/2yrs and works perfectly. Through water I switch it off and out the other side, at a flick of the switch, it comes back on, EVERY time. Very trusted and reliable.

Or not...........A simple drag race between a 3.9efi rangie with 31" tyres and a chipped 110 td5 with 32" tyres and it was a complete draw, right from 0-70mph. The only thing was the 110 had a disco t-box from ashcroft.
