  1. Don't get me started on cats and their preference for warm bonnets...... Speaking - but even more so in writing - in a non native languages is hard at times. ...esp. when you do it all day in 4 different ones.... But.. we try.
  2. Nice ! No problems with the winchrope for the licence plate ?
  3. Big Lorry ? Looking a good project. ...and love the workshop
  4. This is sooo much why I'm no longer into RRC's... Good Work !!
  5. Nice ! Pity you live too far away for a quick coffee...
  6. Yes.... It is us bl..dy foreigners taking away lots of things.... Don't get me started on the Franch who buy all the nice Renault 4 & 2CV's in Holland....
  7. This is how it works with true LR people.. I have been helped many times in the deep dark night on the side of the road and try to give it back, too.. Well done guys !
  8. " Sorry Arjan I just love that series look.... " Nothing to be sorry for ! I like the Series front, too, but for the moment this works better for me.
  9. Interesting Project Daan !!!!! Looking forward to the various solutions you'll have to find - like welding the chassis together ? Goed Gedaan !!
  10. Having had about everything on various roof to transport, I suggest you get a board up there and make a few test drives. Apart from not seeing overhang trafficlights - and that could lead esp. abraod to interesting talks with people in uniforms - you could find having that serious sun visor creates unpleasant forces. If you want to sleep upstairs, you could consider a hard shell type solution You could make a very nice one in the size of the 90 roof. The one in the picture is our old Hard Shell that has been everywhere and uses 3 FF roof bars on a 90 for a good fit. On the 110 it sits in the Bronwchurch. Making you own is not to difficult. Bon Courage !
  11. Hmm...... Books have been written on this and many are to follow. I like to think that Land Rover may have put some thought in what they're doing and I like to stick to some simple and basic guide lines from them - many can be found in "Winching in Safety" (LR Part # SMR 699 MI) Obviously - Copyright to Land Rover Ltd.
  12. Go for a branded quality one if you really want one. I stay away from them as I've seen a few very nasty accidents with them when the attachment points are not as good as they were beleived to be.. IF you use them, use a safety bridlle to keep things from flying too far...
  13. Yes - the winch above the bumper is creating some serious leverage forces... With the 200 Tdi there came a "Stage IV" nose and this gave me a good reason to fir a different winchbumper, between the chassis rails and additional fitting points to the chassis. Getting a lot of flak for the flat front though....
  14. Give Peter Lamb (FirstFour) a call - he knows his winches..
  15. Usu the best cages.. Interesting to see how it goes.. Love to learn more on the axle & lockers...
  16. You need provide more information to give a good reply. What engine What vehicle What pump One off things are usu. serious money...
  17. Not nice. ...and difficult to go back and talk about it..
  18. Storage up there is fine - but I would not like to have a compressor there... If you need the floor space - hang is on the wall or on a rack but not in the attic.
  19. Ebay used to have a kit for the 300 Tdi mounts to be retro fitted and it included an template. Bolt on engine mounts I would reconsider...
