I just tried to buy the annual advert removal to support the forum but I am getting an error message of: "Thinks dont appear to be working at the moment" when paypal try's to open from the forum link.

Hi all, long time no see :grimacing:, I'm still busy off roading with the diesel 80 but it really is getting ready for some loving mechanically and cosmetically, so I am thinking of laying it up for a while and perhaps even pickup it. So I am looking for a stopgap truck to let me play - Ive...

:tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:

In good condition (no tears etc) but covered in dust and dried mud - gotta love kids!

Yes mate! Grinder coming out this month :-)

As per title - Do the 3rd row seats (grey leather) have any value on the second hand market? Whilst I am at it - what about the 2nd row? 3rd row in good nick, 2nd row scruffy but not torn There was no response to this post for cloth ones.....

These people that say they wouldn't be able to spend the money if they won the lottery - I would be broke within a month!

As Chris mentions - its fixable but its going to take time and effort to do properly. A second hand unit if you need the truck on the road without downtime - or a good weekend with lots of grinding discs, new metal and a mig welder. Personally I would go second hand to keep running and if...

I bought a Nitecore Tiny Monster 28 about 4 years ago - it is epic. It was also £400. Its also very trick - 6000 lumens for around 45 mins to 2 lumens for over 1,000 hours - s.o.s., strobe and everything in between all controlled by a camera type shutter button. Its used regularly (even car...

No - its not fitted with a inter-cooler. Its factory standards 12 valve.

I agree and disagree on that comment with equal measure - in performance terms a charge cooler will always outperform an inter-cooler if you can cool the water down properly - unfortunately thats the hard part, the charge cooler adds another inefficiency in addition to the already inefficient...

pffff - my recent 1HD-T change was quicker :tearsofjoy: Another similar

haha - nah, I cant see it when I dragging it so no worries! :-) Its the balance between space and convenience at home, I have a big ass caravan that takes up enough space. It only carries the tent and BBQ etc, no weight there, it is handy for the one nighters when I cant be bothered to drag the...

Was good to meet up and put some faces to names. I will there for the Saturday next time to catch more off road Feedback - distinguish the camping signs from the from the off road course signs :smile: - my poor dinky trailer. First Disaster - taking the camping trailer around the pylon...

Guys I plan to arrive for around 6 or 7pm Saturday... if any body needs something bringing and I can then give me a shout

Am I ok to arrive Saturday evening? Is it Caravan Friendly or Tent Only? No Jeep unfortunately - it broke (a lot) at Seven Sisters last weekend!

I like Gary820 solution for the aesthetics with a purpose, the steps alone are easily damaged off road but do have a surprising amount of protection - when I took mine off, the sills lasted about 2hours before they were trashed and needed replacement. Which turned out to be quite a job - box...

Here's a curve ball for you: I once had the starter doing the opposite problem, it wouldnt turn off once activated, it was a corroded spring within the starter relay - quite a simple fix (I even had a random spring on the shelf that fitted!) - so, clean up, new spring and all good again.

That should be fine Guy and serve the 24v one fine.

Guy, what the others have said is good info, the strip down and rebuild is really not that difficult and the rebuild kit is a sensible price. I feel the need to defend our 80's on a point you make. Even relatively speaking the 80 starters are dammed good! Mine is the original unit, started...

Im often tempted by this Australian Bush Winch

Just Enough Essential Parts................. Hes only been out in it twice - came to Seven Sisters with us last year (My 80, A tricked LWB patrol and a Tricked Disco with LC80 Axles) - the pile of bits at the campsite was bigger than his tent! - Funny was an understatement.

Your spot on, the thing can surprise, mainly down to power and relative lightweight. I put 5" suspension kit on for him last year, that cemented thoughts of not wanting one.... just strong enough would be the best I can say

Cheers mate.

I guess the answer is in the silence :think:

Another thumbs up - bought much off them in the past. Good guys.

Agree Tommy - its on the list, going to be done when the charge cooler gets fitted. I like the Demon Tweaks solid state EGT

I would say they increased slightly - my gauge isnt the most expensive but its the same one as previous so at least its a constant. I was driving it a bit harder yesterday now the clutch is bedding in better, 3rd gear, 24psi and 32oorpm for about ½mile up hill saw 350°c

Thats a good question - VDO I think - I must admit its fitted a bot too far down stream so I always add a bit - its about 2" below the turbo exhaust flange.
