    Tyre test, an interesting alternative at an attractive price.

    I would be interested too as they seem really quite good value. I noticed that those folks on 4wd24/7 in one of their latest vids have got them on the cheap Colorado. Seem to stand up to the punishment that they are putting them through. BFG’s are crazy now, my first set I think we4@re about 150...

    New tyre time?

    Yes many times. Sometimes fitted sometimes just supplied. They’re also fairly good at not advertising tyres that they haven’t got in stock unlike some other online sites.

    Speedo

    That’s tremendously kind thank you towpack. At least I now know where to start.

    Speedo

    Thank you towpack. I just need to work out which one it is.

    Speedo

    It is the small square box to the righthand side of the circle. I’ve been under the dash earlier today for a quick look and there are actually more ecu boxes than I thought for an early 80. Maybe one of them has developed a mysterious fault, or not. I disconnected the main battery just on the...

    Speedo

    Thank you Jon for your help. I’ve looked up the manual that I have, Ellery, but I can’t find an ecu on mine. I’m going to check to see if it’s getting power to the sensor and go up from there and try and follow the wires. Thanks again.

    Speedo

    Well I can’t get the cruise control sensor from Yoshi, amayama or partsouk. Tried Garry the 80 breaker, he doesn’t have one either. I’m not great at electrics but wondering if it is reparable? Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    Speedo

    Hi folks, Another conundrum for those in the know. My 80 was a jap import years ago. The speedo has been intermittent for some time and stopped working. Reckoned it was the conversion gear for the kmh to mph so I ordered another. Bingo it worked, for 5 minutes but not the cruise control module...

    6 speed gearbox conversion

    Just need plumbed in air and possibly a bit more patience. Then remember how the box works. Sod it, better to just get a Unimog, loads of sticks in that. There’s a farmer near us who has one straight piped, sounds mental coming up the road at full chat. Off topic I know even though I brought it up.

    6 speed gearbox conversion

    Hmm, this looks like a good plan. Damn, I thought mine was impossible to beat. Right, need to fit a Porsche 7 speed manual, maybe now getting silly.

    6 speed gearbox conversion

    Nice idea! A few reasons really for the 6 speed idea. Yes better take off, yes better economy on the m’way and just because 6 speeds are better than 5 . Also, I haven’t seen it though there could be loads of reasons why not! It just tickled my fancy when I was running through ideas and I love...

    Nothing's ever easy is it.......

    I think it has to be UK. For what reason who knows.

    6 speed gearbox conversion

    Yes that was my concern too. Isn’t the H152 out of them though?? Anyway, it’s pie in the sky right now but I might put some research into it. Also then need to choose which way to go as the auto is great in sand and off road too.
