simon_s Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 It was good fun this weekend, i was only able to compete thanks to Adrian for lending me his truck It was really strange doing it in someone else's truck, there's always that thought it the back of your mind (dont futting brake it!) (sorry about the hole in the diff Adrian , If only u bolted those portals on )Adrian u can borrow my truck any time! you broke it!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Abel Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 you broke it!? Saturday we had a split top hose for the radiator where one of the jubile clips for the intercooler hose had rubbed through, we took it to rockingham landrover and got the bits to fix it which took 3 hours competing time still came 11th on saturday though Sunday morning i caught the front diffguard on a rock when reversing down a bank, the diffguard was bolted on and had two small blobs of weld either side, one of the blobs pulled a hole in the diff casing when it broke off Easy fix with a bit of duck tape stuffed in the hole Then the clutch felt like it was slipping a bit,(1 year with adrian giving it loads a dog ) so i thought it would be better to call it a day rather than burn a clutch out in a bog. After that we did a 30 mile round trip to collect a new alternator to keep lee's truck going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakeedokee Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Thanks Chris for delivering the ignition leads to me at Tixover. That wasn't the last of my problems - we were up til midnight rebuilding a starter motor (unsuccessfully) then trying to get hold of another one.

Mr Nick Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Many thanks Lee. And thanks to everyone for a great weekend, Saturday we had a front winch go down and he never botherd fixing it for sunday Then sunday Jako and I had a drivers CV go on us, so we just took it out and carryed on with 3 wheel drive As for cliffy we he was just lucky not to break anything. It was hard work having one standard truck on muds and the driver and co driver had never competed in anything before. And Cliffy's truck was pretty much up for it but think he just needs Lockers in it. As for myself and Jacko in the red 90 county ! Well what can i say Really had a good time and was good to see some good old faces and have a giggle again. And on a plus side we didn't come last I should be getting some photo's on my site very soon dudes, i'll keep you posted when there on. Untill then though here's one we liked very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
