ThreePointFive Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) If nothing else, they missed out on the opportunity to say the listing was a bit hasty. And I have just learnt I am a new member of the W*LF W*nker club, having just migrated from the S*wtooth Sh*thead gang.

Daan Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I believe he was on this forum known as Landrover17H; He was kicked out of this forum (and several other forums) because of his use of Audible foul Language and generally being a total Bell end. So if you have facial hair and member of this forum, this is about you: Quick rant…/I'm fed up with the forum-fools. This kit works because.... there’s one servo, not four differing self-servo effects at each corner; each can't move fractionally out of adjustment with the other; each can't fractionally move further 'out of time' and line with the other; each cannot do this with every use. Instead, we see consistent, even, safe brakes which will work and stay this way. You do not fit discs to a leafer to avoid brake-fade, excepting the Welsh mountains etc, at Series speeds you'll not get brake-fade. You’ll read on forums how: "You don't understand the design, all it takes is correct-adjustment and proper maintenance." "They managed perfectly well in 1954" etc etc. Sadly, usually facial-hair with no thought about timing, bias and proportioning. No amount of maintenance or fiddlin' and 'magic-touch' with snail-adjusters will make Series drums ‘work’ as this kit - even when new. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Someone once said of a club member who left under a cloud "If you get kicked out of one place - maybe they're a**holes.

ThreePointFive Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Very nice, but the white tyre lettering needs to go. Any hints at what's underneath? Going by the wheels and the suspension mounts, I guess Land Rover. The cross member seems well modified to hide what it is. 1 hour ago, Bowie69 said: No need for it to be a work truck, looks like a perfect commuter/grocery getter, to me.

Visited London late last month, amazing the number of classic cars tat you see littered around the smaller streets now, some really nice old Mercs, also saw a lovely Fiat 500 with an exhaust trying to make the most of its 2 cylinder engine -quite good fun, and one in the eye for Mr Khan, his beloved policy causing apparently more polluting vehicles back on to the road. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
