  2. I'd go for the 7.50's tried 205's and it was pretty quick off the mark but wasnt that good at cruising now its a bit slower off the mark but sits happily at 55/60 on the motorway just changed the 7.50 crossplys on mine for some lassa 7.50r16' s http://www.lassa-europe.com/ln-english/default.aspx?mod=31 havent tried them off road but reckon should be ok as they are the sdame pattern as a michelin
  3. Just to be different I ve always had the front prop fitted with the slider nearest the diff . which reminds me I must fit the front prop back onto the wifes landy after getting the fitter at work to do the uj's
  4. got a laugh last night when I went to get the wifey from her work. at the resturant she works in ,on the blackboard outside for the daily special she wrote Swan in Lemsip sauce
  5. Dont get bothered by the jovies now one sunday I was getting a pheasant ready for the oven, doorbell goes and without thinking toddles off to the front door dead pheasant in hand , the look on their faces was brilliant especially when I said youve just interrupted my scarifice to satan .
  6. Mine arrived this morning just want it to stop raining now so I can stick them on the landy
  7. once Ive moved house in may I shall be in the market for a internal roll bar and front external bar for my 88" what sort of prices are we talking
  8. you could try your local Leyland/johnstones decorator centre, used to work for one a few years back they usually can help
  9. Saw one the Greenpeace boats last summer sailing out of Greenock harbour the amount of black smoke out the exhausts was unreal , the stuff was hanging around in the air for at least 5 mins after the boat had left.
  10. you could try the guy down at Girvan on the A77 A F Ross he;s got a loads military bits knocking about as he deals in ex mil stuff, got a canvas for 88" ffr off him the other week for £35 so he's pretty cheap
  11. had the fuel pump pack up on the wifes landy late last year, sounds exactly the same symptons, think the new one cost £ 15 from BLRS or Craddocks ,cant remember which

  16. Mmmm that looks rather nice could well be just the job for off roader I'm building Andrew
  17. tis a swb popped into work this mornin just annoy the fitter even though im on my weekend ,the joys of working 5 from 7 the shocks are made by Boge ,been looking thru the fitter's parts books seems they are meant for the 4x4 version of the Volkswagen LT the older one not the same shape as the merc sprinter asked my other mate who gave me the para's they came from paddocks and are 3 leaf rears shall just try them together ,if they dont work shall just get the right shocks whats the best to get if I eventually need them? cheers guys Andrew
  18. excellent that should save me a few hours when I fit my new shocks cheeers mate
  19. I'm up in jockland but drive south for Billing etc so somewhere Midlands'ish would be ok
  20. a mate from work has generously given me a set of brand new parabolics think they are paddocks not to sure tho.after going all modern and selling his LWT and getting a Disco. anyway as I want to fit bigger tyres eventually when I'm fitting the springs would it be worth while fitting the longer hangers off a ex military 109 aswell??? Also dampers which would be better longer gas filled or oil ??? saying that because the fitter at work yesterday gave me 4 shocks off a truck that have around 6 inches more travel in both direction and uses the same size bushes as a series but are oil filled would they be ok?? and finally wheels and tyres was thinking of either buying new 8 spokes and 235/85/16 bfg mud terrains or sitting my shed theres a set of RangeRover steel rims that have been already modded to fit series axles,so if I decide to use the RR rims whats the biggest tyre thatwill fit on them,as currently they are fitted with tatty 205/16 remoulds Andrew
