  1. any news on the crank adaptor front oldspot?
  2. I have a Southdown rear diff guard. Very neat fit, and incredibly strong.
  3. i have just removed a courtenay charge cooler that i was was running on my 200tdi and it didnt affect the performance, although if its four offroading it would be a good idea to fit a small fan on the charge radiator to keep the airflow when stationary.
  4. it would be rude of me not to accept such an invitation
  5. i used to live there, cracking place in summer with all the sailing and visitors, just abit too insular in winter
  6. headhunter, is it the offset version e.g. 6 inch offset or 10 inch offset? Cheers Ben
  7. Bit off topic but here goes. I am more than fed up with the tediousness of having to remove a bike wheel to fit my MTB in the back of my hardtop 90 and then find that it is a squeeze to get another bike in as well. I dont have a spare wheel on the back do so that type of rack is out, so a tow hitch mounted rack is the answer i hope. I have found two racks which seem to clamp onto the actual ball of the hitch; Thule Rack Hollywood Rack or a bolt on rack; Pendle Rack I am leaning towards the Thule rack but am a little concerned as to how tight the rack holds onto the ball of the hitch as obviously my truck will bounce around the road more than a standard renault or so forth. Any views/opinions on what rack to go for would be much appreciated. Cheers Ben
  8. Yes please for both dates, unless you consider that being too greedy?
  9. I think the LED`s you would need are 501 bulb. These are bulbs i had fitted
  10. if you dont mind fiddling abit i removed and fitted new bulbs in the speedo using a 9mm 1/4 inch drive socket and bar
  11. you say just watched as if i did something wrong? i was instructed by sam on many occasions to watch the truck which i duly did
  12. i wont be entering this one. may come and watch though
  13. big thanks to the everybody who organised the event and especially the patient marshals and competitors who kept recovering us. will definitely be back next year
  14. if i slept under the truck i would look like one oily rag. at least water would run off me though
  15. Opened out the tent in the garage today after Glastonbury few years back and found a 3 foot tear in the outer skin. Thats £300 of MSR tent in the bin Guess it will be a commute back to Ottery and a nice warm bed
  16. winch all working, used it for some tree removal yesterday i see what people mean by it pulling at a sedate pace... should suit me fine then
  17. i can make this one for sure. have even banned myself from touching the truck with any tools until this date, so as to make sure i dont happen to the truck in the meantime
  18. IIRC Citroen Xantia fans are very good as they are a sealed motor
  19. its not tape but for oil boilers i use stuff called Jet Blue which does the job on fuel lines where they meet compression fittings.
  20. will there me another clubman challenge later in the year?
  21. last time i ordered from paddocks they charged me twice and then it took nearly 3 months to reclaim my £186 which i didnt get back in full as when i finally got the credit note they had taken VAT off the amount they owed me i stick with 4x4 Store or Brookwells now
  22. ah i only have 13 days and 7 hours worth of music on the ipod... not quite 20 days required
  23. i will bitch for you Jos... got the enthusiasm but no knowledge
  24. From an old 4x4store invoice it says the Part No BR3231 or Rover No FRC8220 cost just under £2 if that helps. Its a PITA to get out, i found it easier to do it the second time with the diff on the bench.
