Hi.. have just got a new series 3 tank with original pick up & return pipes to connect up to my disco trayback project. dose any one know what the connections thread is and if they will suit the disco plastic fuel pipes? TIA Lawrence

Hi Baloo As it is only a small hole it might be better to repaire it. but im told that it is a common prob with disco's and that it indicates rust elsware. have a good look and if the tin worm has a good hold then you might like to take the same action that i am doing (see here: http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopi...t&p=129432) B) you could always get a replacement pannel Lawrence (defcol)

Hi CJ Got 33x12.50/15 scorpian MT on my disco and have tsted against two satnav's. I get 4 to 5 miles under read on speed pretty much across the board say 40 to 85 Arch's cut with offset rims no rubing except when entering gully on lock. +2 inch on suspention hope this helps Lawrence

what % of drivers does the current 1.6mill represent? how much will it raise, in yet another gov tax. what % of the population will be paying for the rest to have roads to use their O so great bus service how many of us will be out of work and on state benifit as a result? This gov run by Brown and his shadow realy do **** me off

As per title: The kitchen sink got used for what it was made for…… . Stripping down and cleaning parts for my LandRover… By the time I’ve finished it will be mostly Warn out Managed to pick up a used 8274 £180, not a bad deal I was thinking.. Still do but it is now clear that some money needs to be spent, 1. Clutch plates 2. Needs a solenoid pack 3. New seals 4. Remote connecter (female) 5. Ball bearings And I haven’t got it stripped down yet. To that end can any one advise if service kits are available, and are there any do’s & don’ts when dismantling? What oil to use…? Any and all advises welcome as have zero experience with winch servicing Many thanks will put up some pics when it dosnt take half hr + to upload 87kb Lawrence

Very sad news. I echo "Thoughts go out to those involved and their family". did he leave wife/kids? and if so; is there a whip-round for him? does anyone know the site/organiser? not knowing the site cant comment on rules and regs or if marshalled or not but would be useful to know if harness and roll cage were fitted and being used. I will now get one! and a harness.

Hi Chris, Just back from Portugal (last night) where I stumbled upon the rally in Portimao (the algarve) was going there to shop with my son only to find the city closed off. Didn't have my camara with me but did manage to get one pick with mobile before running out of charge. must say the support vehicles are huge. there were people tracking them by car and bike but imagin that would end once out of europe. Lawrence

Hi Diff Really useful thread, have found it very informative. Re: Kinetic RR and strops I was wondering if there is a recommended way of cleaning after muddy use or more importantly if there are any definite no - no's in order to maintain effectiveness? Re: Safe recovery practice’s does anyone run or know of training weekend or can a group of trusted old hands from this forum get together and run a recovery w/e with LR4x4 cert of completion? I say this as have been to a few different sites where even the organisers seem to have ' lets see how quick we can recover this one as if to impress the crowd' Bits of old rope lashed to anything available Very small shackles Pulling in the wrong direction letting spectators crowd round and way too close to cable being used to Snatch Even poofy football has trained linesman 4x4 offroading is potentially a very dangerous but now recognised sport So why can we not train and run accredited marshals at events? it would lift the profile of the sport lets ensure that safety really does come first Lawrence

off to Portugal at 4am for 6 days you all have a good week ............. B) Lawrence
