John / Chris, We'll attend if my calender allows G

Honestly bud, i would never deal with Kam again. sorry to be blunt, but the backup you get from them (now) is a disgrace. It's hard enough to get a return phone call out of them, never mind a shaft ! My last one i waited about 2 or 3 weeks. I'm currently waiting for another, dont know, 3 weeks so far i think... I can't be arsed to phone them to get some sh1tty excuse about how stock is still stuck in customs etc ! Go ashcroft ! G

Greenpeace - pah ! We dig gas up out of the ground, so no Cheers for the comments above

Ok ok ok..i know...it's not a LR. But it is still at least a 4x4 v8 It'll be replacing a p38 4.6 ! I'm looking at a new tow truck. Like the look of dodge ram 1500's (5.7 hemi), but the bigger trucks have caught my eye. Looking at Dan H's dad at the last challenge in his dodge 2500 has made me think about the option of going diesel. Does anybody on here have an F250 ? In particular the 6.0 powerstroke v8. On paper they've got a tremendous 325bhp and 540 (ish) ft lb torque. Looking at 2004 - 2006 ish. I realise fuel won't be amazing, but at the moment i'm doing between 6 - 8 mpg on LPG whilst towing. A lot of my driving is towing. I don't drive to work so this is not an issue. Neither is parking in town / city, as i hate going into town ! Any comments on them ? G

Nige, i'm offshore at the moment. Will be home on the 15th Dec, i'll sort some out then with my old man

usb internet dongle. means you can take it out and about with you if required

Nige, let me know when we need more

I'm sending vehicles back to zimbabwe at the moment, i'm filling out the little purple bit on the back page as mentioned above. I then have to send the v5 by DHL over there, so he can receive the vehicle. G

Ditto above

I've just read the regulations and it says that we need high vis vests, is there anything else apart from them and lights that would be different to a normal event ? G

Not a bad idea that, see you on the weekend

If i look out my window before going for breakfast, i see this :

Nige i got a tub of bead sealer today from our local autofactors. G

Cheers for the replies Our local farm supplies shop keep linseal in stock, so i'll get some tomorrow. In answer to above comments : - i can't run tubes as i'm on double beadlocks with an insert in the middle. - if it were to go in normal tyres, we have our own tyre machine - balancing isn't a problem as we only use them offroad G

Evening, I was wondering if people have used the puncture repair fluid that you put in your tyres and if so what were your thoughts ? I'm sick of having leaking beads and having to strip the tyres down to clean em. (I'm on 20 bolt split rims!). What is the tyre like afterwards ? Can you clean the stuff out if you need to ? Which brands are ok and which should be avoided ? Cheers G

Jack your wheels up off the floor, and have a feel of the wheel bearing(s). See if there's any side to side / up down movement as well as spinning them over. G

Take both wires and push them into the 220v mains plug..... Should work :P :P :P

Nige, if it's going to be a testing item...i'm going to assume that you won't be using it all that often ? So why not find some deep cycle battery that you can afford to go flat and then charge it back up again ? G

unfortunately, i'm agreeing with this method. the best tool i found was EFI

Come to an AWDC trial, drive a modified stage in your obviously amazing truck...then let the "kids story book" truck go. I know who my money will be on getting a better result.

Camping....in this weather. Stupid is about the only word i can think of at the moment ! LOL. I best find a thicker sleeping bag.

How's the entry list looking so far Neil ? G

Stick with Dave

You'll be lucky to get a reply from Kam..... it just took me 4 phone calls, 2 emails and then 2 weeks to get a replacement shaft along with 4 stub shafts from Kevin ! Ashcroft have always been next day when i've ordered from them

We can only do 2 next year due to work
