I think the ones shown in the picture are actually these... Ross

thanks for that - sent him an email.. anyone any other experiences (4x4 related please ) in this part of the world? Cheers, Ross

Hi all, just about to move over to Germany for a while, so was wondering if there's anyone who can point me in the direction of an LR club or off-roading club over there, preferably in the North-West? Any pointers appreciated. Cheers, Ross

Before I signed my life away on the dotted line i used to have a 3185 as my daily drive. I worked for a agri contractor haulin everything from bales to silage to tracked excavators - seriously good bit of kit, especially when, ahem, tweaked... We used to get loads of hassle of the tipper guys when we ran into quarries with the dump trailer - we could carry 20 ton (like them), do 55 mph loaded (like them), run cherry (unlike most of them!) and pay £160 RFL a year (about a tenth of theirs!!) - suffice to say we werent popular!

I put one into one into a Tomcat I bult last year... really not much harded than any other engine transplant if you have the correct software to set it up - everything can be reprogrammed - any questions just let me know. Ross

In an attempt to halt the spread of Bird Flu, the Irish Air Force have just bombed the Canary Islands...

This would be as god a place to start as any - Glentarkie Ross

Since I'm getting posted to Germany, I'm looking into getting a left-hooker to use out there... has anyone had any experience of buying a left-hooker LR in Holland or Germany? How do the prices compare? Anthing in particular to look out for? Any particular dealer recommendations? I think I'll be looking at Disco II's and P38a's, another Defender would probably be the end of me! Cheers in advance, Ross

Tony, I'm going to be in Germany around that time, so if you here of anyone looking for a co-driver/winch bitch/mobile ground anchor then I'd be well up for going... Would realy like to enter the Tomcat in it but cant afford the full entry fees this year... still, some prior experience would be good! Cheers, Ross

yeh, I could well be up for this - could you PM me with some details of what you want etc? Ross

Well done Mr Cordell, come on down and collect your carrier bag of fresh air....

OK, further info to help with the country ID... - it was december 22nd when the pics were taken and it was 24 degress - all the number plates look suspiciously British in origin - it was a working holiday Any help? Ross

Clocked this on a recent trip -anyone recognise the country? Not sure about the 2 bumpers and that winch mount but I think, on the whole, it looks cool... Ross

everything works but the relay itself is stuck - i'm getting driven nuts by the bloody thing buzzing!! cheers again for the help, still getting used to using rave... Ross

Thanks guys... I should mayve try and explain this a little better than I have! If you look on page 239 of the electrical libraries, the photo shows 3 yellow boxes. I dont have the left hand two, but its the right hand one thats knackered - what does it do and where do i get a part no. for it? Cheers, Ross

hmmm, is that the little yellow box though? cant work it out from the Rave wiring diagrams... its got R6K8 written on it and is made by Siemens - presumably its a relay of some sort? Ross

As you look into the ECU compartment (under the driver's seat) from the outside of the vehicle, there is a small yellow box to rear left. Am I correct in saying that this is the fuel pump relay? (R103) Cheer, Ross

How easy is it to chuck a set of '87 RRC front seats into a Defender? Is there a big improvement in comfort?? Quick response appreciated! Cheers, Ross

Anyone got any details on whats happening on sunday? I'm new to the area and keen to start getting involved again, but at the same time I cant afford to break my 90 at the moment... Ross

how varied is the site? very damaging? will all terrains cope? or is it another spectator event for me...?! Ross

Sorry to post off topic, but whats on at Slindon this weekend?? Ross

Just wondering if anyone was planning on going.... will probably turn up (to spectate this time) and would be nice to put some faces to names..... Ross

Hi Steve, looks really good mate, hope your suspension performs as well as you hope this weekend. Really impressed with your headlining. Could you PM me with what you paid for the front and rear sections? Oh, and where did you get the seats with integral belts? What have you mounted them to? Cheers, Ross

Hi Mike, I'm good thanks, you? Ran into Kev's Disco last weekend when I was home on leave - he sold it to another guy in the club who is now Trialling it! Oh, and for those that asked, here's the link for the Defender pics... slightly strange I think you'll agree... Ross

thought you might like to see these too... ... 'interesting', eh?! Ross
