  16. BADLRC is an excelent start me thinks, or try tail end challenge thats really tame! As soon as you go try you'll love it, you just gotta be willing to travel and a good co-driver is the key, that you can both abuse each other, agrue, rant, rave, disagree and NOT fall out and keep up good spirit! lol unfortunatly due to work Am still a novice, I have only done 3 events but in 3 different trucks. To start I did tailend challenge 1st, drove their with my mate, we had no winch, 35" BFG Muds aired down, a good suspension set up and won both days in the novice which was painfully slow and easy for anyone who has any knowlage of offroading (we did abuse the truck though). Then we did last years howling wolf at kirton, drove thier with the truck full with tent etc it was alot better/harder but did a brake flexy on the 1st punch, then after clamping that up killed a cv and shaft on the special stage ( white 100" Tray back, lockers, F&R winches), so had to strip it down and remove in the mud with jack Sh*t tackle, then drove home wet and cold with no heater, in Diff lock, again the cab full with **** but still laughing! The we did the BADLRC 2 day event with nite sections team event with me and my co driver driving 2 seperate motors with 2 new winch men, trailored both motots their (Highly recomended). we did Good on the 1st day (1st ) as it was timed and rob was very very good and enthusiastic, the night ddnt go 2 well, then killed both winches on day 2. But had an excelent time all weekend and the night was awsome! Problem is its highly addictive and you always want something more competative/reliable as a novice,Just on with building a new truck for some more events! Everybody is very friendly and helpfull though, the more competative 'Big Lads' seem to be more helpfull and are a great help for knowlage/Re-assurance! Classes depend on the spec of your truck, but you only have to try what you want when you want, theirs no set on what you have to do! Ty
  17. Yeah c'mon enlighten us? Id defo be doing them but due to a broken knee trucks had a serious delay!
  18. Challenge trucks ive had: 2 door bobtail 100" 3.5 v8 manual 1994 defender 90 300tdi (tweaked pump and boost, straight through zaust) Manual 200tdi 100" r380 box (Tweaked pump and boost, no intercooler, straight through) 1998 300 Tdi Auto defender 90 (Tweaked pump and boost, BIG intercooler, Stainless with 1 smallbox) And current 300 TDI defender 90 Auto (tweaked pump and boost, straight through zaust) AUTO IS THE BEST ALL ROUND! Any whos used an auto for any amount of time wouldnt have a manual if the choice was there! As for v8's why??? there ****e in water, are getting rarer and harder to replace with a good one, they expensive to run, they all boil at some stage!!! The 300tdi is cheap to replace, full discos come at £500 and there bullet proof! In CHALLENGES YOU NEVER WANT MORE POWER. ONLY MORE TRACTIION!!! Anyways just my opinion
  19. Mended it and moved the relay out of the way! Cheers guys
  20. I want to extend the wheel base on my 90 trayback abit, How long are giggle pin arms over standard? What do you guys do with the A-Frame? And I take it its easiest to cut the springs seats off and weld them back on further back? IS IT ALL WORTH IT?
  21. so theres no hope of mending it or it being an electrical fault?
  22. My arb compressor has stopped and i carnt see any problems??? What happened was the relay got a shunt with the waffle, which cracked the casing and sent the compressor running constant, so we hit the stop, had a fiddle with the relay and all was well it had stoped, but now it wont start? Tryed a new relay, the pressure switches on the compressor just click when you flich the switches, tryed a new pressure switch still no luck, it has live and earth to the compressor??? Anyone any ideas? Cheers Ty
  23. Dont buy there there the Biggest Heap ever mad by landrover and thats an achievment! We buy and sell 4x4 for a living and trust me there not the best choice, i can sell you one though? lol Buy a 300 Auto soft dash, 20 x the motor!
  24. we had a td5 90 in that would start but was turning over fine and had fuel etc etc ended up trying a new starter and it was that. A mate recomened it with some technical bamph to do with currents, amperes and volts! wont bore you with that! lol
