Michele Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 anyone do something/go some where more intresting? Ehu... Went to Como (and beyond) to bring the new permission to run 34" tyres (cost will be 60 Euros + the favour)...while in Como I stopped by my friendly parts dealer (another one) and FINALLY!!! bought 2 X batteries to feed the 8274... In the end I was given 2 Bosch Silver 640 (CCA),which means 1280 CCA total at the bargain price (?) of 190 Euros and 1 year warranty. When back at home I realized I have no proper terminals to crimp to connect winch cables and accessories... Doh... (time goes by) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 We (Simon & I) spent the weekend at Eastnor - and bumped in to a few of the forum members! It was quite a nice, friendly show - but dreadful from a sales point of view. The car park was almost a mile from us and up the side of a mountain! Nobody wanted to buy anything heavy which they'd have to lug up the hill. The people selling real heavy stuff looked terribly depressed! We watched a couple of chaps carry an axle up the hill. It took them over two hours, but I guess the temperature must have been about 30 degrees. Just plain daft! On the way back, the water pump on my Tdi gave up. The viscose fan gave up on the way there (fixed with cable ties). As we were towing a heavy trailer, it took the AA almost 5 hours to find someone to bring us home. We finally got back at 4am - then up at 7 to do working. Feel a little bit shagged now! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbocharger Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I spent the weekend in Amsterdam on a (well, the lamest) stag weekend (in history) for a drug-free teetotaller from Uni. Nice city though.

Happyoldgit Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Saturday I fitted some driving lamps above the windscreen on Mog1 and revised / beefed up the old ambulance sign wiring to power them. fitted and wired up a couple of spigot beacon mounts to replace the old one that I cut out when I fitted a roof vent last week. Perspired a lot Paid a quick visit to the BLRC's off road show at Bircham Newton yesterday. When I got back I removed the 40x40cms roolight / vent that I fitted two or three years back and replaced it with a snazzy one which has a three speed suck or blow fan in it and made up a harness to feed power it off the aux battery. Cut some insulation ready to install in the overcab area. Perspired a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro_Al Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I drank wine by the pool in a friends' private villa in the Bordeaux countryside and read books on chassis/suspension design. B) Started well, but kind of lost my focus after a while... Al. P.S. - Edit for offroad content - I did manage to get the ride-on mower stuck in a small drainage ditch, and had no winch nor ground anchor for a recovery. Fortunately, we could just pick it up and carry it to safety - there is something to be said for lightweight offroaders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
