Get some mesh in or you'll regret it later.. Even chicken wire stuff helps a lot. It is relatively cheap, makes the concrete so much stronger and if you make some pictures while building you can show you're a serious man when it comes to construction. Over the years, we used a lot of concrete for various projects, both in Holland and France, and this is what we're building at the moment here : Yes : a 13 x 6 x 3.5 mtrs. ABRI We have poured a 7-10 cm. thick floor. Overkill for horses but in the futere, when selling the place, machinery etc. will be no problem. Steel armouring is very important. to get a strong floor. This is what we do. And no, this is not the new workshop - this is just for the horses.... The next project is another ABRI like this, just 2 x times al long : 26 mtrs long, 6 mtrs. wide and 2.8 mtrs. high. for firewood, Land Rovers, trailers and hay storage.. Eventually, the workshop will be 14 x 9 x 4 mtrs - including a 4 poster ramp we'll partly sink in the floor for easier access to the engine bay etc.....

Interesting.. You expect a bit more power ? .. or just another source for the turbo's. What vehicles are those turbo's in ?

Yes. Please, tell us more !! Great tread !

Don't think we're part of the potential buyers group... With the D IV they've sort of left their roots behind.

For what it is worth, my findings for many years with spacers.. - wider track could give better stability - wider track can give a netter turning circle - wider track can create space for wider tyres - wider track gives to some people a better look to the vehicle - we have not had problems on different vehicles with them after many, many miles However.. - as the leverage on the various components increases one can expect more wear - as the leverage on the various components increases one can expect mechanical failure to come earlier - it is of the utmost importance that the spacers are up to the job - we use Kensons in Wednesbury - the legal side is often somewhat "grey" as fitting them changes the track width from standard and this could lead to problems with Police, insurance, MOT etc. - In many countries they are banned. Same applies to changing offset to rims. Make your choice..

Sounds like an air leak to me. Good hunting

What happens when passing the Equator going South ? Will this upset the paint...

V8's love LPG. If the vehicle runs on petrol it is most likely to be an LPG issue. If the vehicle runs poorly on both petrol and LPG you have other problems. Before getting the engine run on LPG it should run perfectly on petrol. Afterwards, you can get the engine to run on LPG. Bon Courage !

Very nice ! Very good quality build - impressive. And inspirational for the project in the workshop right now... Please keep them coming.

No go into France I'm afraid. Love to have one of these.. Hope new owner does a good job.

WEll Done - makes it all much easier.

Trailer. Don't consider roof.

It waaay simplifies things saying that Wolfs are good. Several have had a hard life and some have been abused - get once of those and your ... We have a working Ninety that never lets us down, goes everywhere and does everything we ask and more. However, it doesn't look pretty. But for going 4,000 miles with a trailer to collect a dead motorbike it was perfect. Like said above, it comes down to looking after the vehicle and the quality of parts etc. used. And we have both 200 / 300 Tdi / LT77 / R380's and both have their pro's and cons. Happy hunting.

Interesting Project !

What he said - full double service. We have stopped using auto boxes for towing as they just don't seem to like it.

Can be a lot of things... UJ riding bumps stops springs etc.. Don´t overload / get a trailer

Ask FirstFourOffRoad

Welcome to the Madhouse - hope you like the light-hearted conversation, the totally correct language and the patience that is had by all for those who know less.... Enjoy !

I' ve been looking into this and SD said to me don' t do it. Profile / shape is off. Sell the thing and get a 3-door (Hard Top) one. I am.

Koni's have been ordered for the 110. Not too impressed with TF in general..

I always wonder what sort of strength one can expect from these 3D printers ? Are they really usable - or just a template..

Nineties have always kept their value quite good - unless it is really a bag of ...t. The ones that have all the "essential extra's" seem to fetch serious money. The Mrs. her Ninety - RHD, Defender 200 Tdi retrofit - has gone up for sale here in France for € 4.500 or delivered to a Le Havre or Calais Port for collection to the UK for ukp. 3.750 and that seems to be a realistic pricetag for these vehicles. Real early ones fetch in Holland ridiculous amounts of money because of the tax thing... Bon Courage !

Yes. I know. However, my Series has no weights in the VIN plate (original one) and the type approval per country eventually rules. And to add some fun - that is usually different per country.. .

Just as a remark as you guys are talking UK and we have the lot on French plates, they were all 3 legal. Unlike most people, we put the lot on a local weighbridge and make pictures so en route we can show what we know we are doing and have the Gendarmerie / Police Municipal / etc. ask themselves if they really want to look .... The RRC could tow 3.5 tonnes, as could the others, and be within the "Max Train Weight" (total weight car & trailer). The Series can tow 3.5 tonnes, too, here but I'd rather not...

Always happy to read just how confusing it all can be... So.... listening to you guys, this is legal ? And this is also legal ? What about this then ?
