Seems there's a run on Italian banks, who need a 40 Billion euro bailout, which Merkel has just dismissed. Deutsche Bank has just been hit by IMF hazard warning, IMF branded it the riskiest globally significant bank, part of it just failed the stress test, again. I guess that'd be on the front...

Would I be correct in thinking the grills have to go on before the window rubber is refitted? It's going to have to be a sillicon job for the grills.

I got some of those to fit in the center consul in the 80 where there's 3 holes for switches on mine, they didn't fit, I'd need to make a plate for them, so plan changed to blanking plate since I don't really need any more usb sockets.

so they've been preparing for EU countries to default since 2011, because they know it's coming, IMF have been hinting at Greece not getting bailed out only last week... we ain't seen nothin yet.

Should I rename the Foxwing "Buzzard Wing" 8-)

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/8898044/Germanys-secret-plans-to-derail-a-British-referendum-on-the-EU.html We ain't seen nothin yet!

Yeah it'd been painted over silver, along with the window, seal, and grill for good measure. I'm fitting gullings so went back to black or it'd look a bit iffy. Good timing tho, under the window rubber was getting bad with tinworm in the corners, bit of grinding and filler sorted it out...

Seems it's all change on the political stage this week. Does this mean we won't see the crocodile with the sausages this time? :lol:

Well, the isolator worked, first coat of satin black just gone on OK

Think the drop boxes are only for 4"-6" lift, delivering a perfect 3.0 degree castor angle at 4"/100mm lift. They drop the mounting point on the body for the radius arms by about 4", which puts the castor angle back on the axle keeping all the geometry in the right place, so the drag link...

Looking good Chas:thumbup: just right for the gullwing I got the rubbers sorted in the end with a wire brush bit in the drill:angry-banghead: had a bit of a setback with the paint reacting badly, had to sand all the primer off again :angry-banghead: I've just got the first coat of isolator on...

is that likey to react with the shite paint that was on them? presume the silver stuff is cellulose stuff causing the reaction... wondering if the isolator will cover that? I hate painting cars:angry-screaming:

been digging, it's called "Isolator" HB Body P962 1K ISOLATOR aerosol 400ml barrier coat now trying to find somewhere local I can pick some up tomorrow...

@white90 the other one/pair is exactly the same, new ones are £116, these have been on since Aug, £75 + delivery at PO rate

Drop boxes use standard bushes, Castor correction plates use standard bushes, the other option is castor corrected/offset bushes, which no-one has a good word for. Sorry bud, forgot about the pic, I've got them off all good as new with the bolts and sleaves etc. ready to be packed n posted...

I sanded and sanded, washed and dried, primer seems to have reacted badly... how do I sort that out, and then what primer should I be using? this is a filler primer from a proper paint place, all be it in a rattle can. Next, after gluing the rubber back on, sanding the silver down to smooth...

Best political quote I've seen since Camerons announcement...

@Rob Cowell, I didn't post what he said the day after Brexit, I didn't hear it. I have no comment on that as I don't think it relevant. If you have no problems with what I did post, does that mean you agree with it, aprove of it, can't poke holes in it, or something else?

"Just because you like Europe doesn't mean to say you need to like the EU? It's like saying I like football so I have to like Fifa." EU Debate Oxford Union Daniel Hannan MEP. Brilliant :lol:

Yeah, plenty still active, not sure about the National webpage I hardly ever go on it, most of the news is on FB thesedays https://www.facebook.com/4x4responseUK/

Looks well tooled up, tidy truck :thumbup:

at the risk of stating the bleeding obvious... have you been offroad/though water/mud? My LR90 does that cost the rad is crudded up with mud, can't jetwash it properly without taking the rad out cos the intercooler is in the way

Cheers Rich, just spent the last hour n half trying to get the paint of the rubbers, I've done one side of one rubber, tedium squared, put them in a bath of hot water worked it as much as poss, tried pan scrubber, moved onto wire wool, it comes up good but it takes some friggin scrubbin! I've...

I used it this morning, Cherrs Crispin, I'm £2.80 better off :thumbup:

Re plastic grill thingys Yep :lol: Which is best, tiger seal or silicon? Looks like I caught them just in time too, paint under the seal was bubbled and tin worm starting to set in, think I'll get away with wire brushing, filler primer, some sanding and painting OK so I have to glue the...

That's a whole nother subject. Consider how better to stop people researching subversive techniques used by banksters than by associating them with bat shit crazy websites, as if Marx didn't even write about it. On a related note the etymology of "conspiracy theory" could be illuminating.

Don't be silly. There is no problem with immigrants, I think immigration is agenda driven, and Cultural marxism is still subversive shit, which is very different from thinking immigrants are a problem. My family are immigrants FFS. I backed away because I don't have time for BS arguments, if I...

Exactly. Rob I'm not going to argue with you, I can't do the subject justice in a fourm post it'd require a dissertation, I ain't got the time or inclination, if you're really interested in it, research it yourself.

Difficult to say without reading a bunch of old books, history is distorted in many respects, wikipedia says there was a total 450,900 or 0.94% UK deaths as a result of ww2, including colonies, civi deaths, famine etc.

Subscribe to which view? I was just explaining what cultural marxism is, that was what came up on google rather than me waffle on about a definition. FTR I think it's subversive shite we could all do without, I think we'd all get along much better without it. Even tho I was brought up by a lefty...

Well that's the story they used, after ww2 didn't all the ex military people being demobbed need jobs as we switched away from a war economy? Logic suggests there would be a surplus of workers after so many were employed warring.

The problem with the whole 'collective conversation' is we're being misled, the conversation is controlled by the media/politics to avoid the real economic issues. Here's the short story... here's how we got here The only way out for the banksers (retaining control and without being srtung...

Cultural marxism isn't the only subversive shite going on Chas, ever wonder why immigants seem to cluster in certain areas? If it were natural migration it'd be an even spread in every commuity. When I was growing up in the 70's there were zero immigrants in my infant school, we had one or two...

Immigration: Most folks arn't really against immigration, they just use that label. Immigration is generally good for the economy, if folks were politically educated rather than politically brainwashed, they'd recognise they're just useing it as a label. What they're really against, what really...

seriously, does anyone thing this kind of nefarious "government" would fly in the UK? The EU is more like a corporate mafia club.

E111 hasn't been valid since 2006, it's an EHIC card now, just applied for ours online no problems ;)

Some epic scenery, thanks for sharing :thumbup:

Don't think we'll see any practical difference for years. The EU looks certain to disintegrate (France, Italy, Netherlands shouting for their own referendum today) amongst a backdrop of unrest and terrorism across Europe (note the US warning this week) Greece will most likely default this...

Good ho! Maybe you could do a video special or something to compliment the website. I watch a few video series on ham radio, gave up listening to the same guys doing a podcast, same went for some chaps used to do podcasts for global trend forcasting type stuff, only watch their vids now...

Have you thought about doing it on video Chris?

Whatever you go laning in will get scratched up in the UK, there's a complete lack of maintenance in just about every county, I see it as par for the course. It is possible to plan non scratchy routes or hang back for reports over the CB, but you'll miss out all the best lanes and end up doing a...

We're off to the Alps 8th July, David is over there for a couple of weeks in his troopy end of next week too... One of our lot has spoke to a friend in Paris today and he said the fuel issues and strikes are all over now.

Sure thing mate, I'll grab a pic of them once they're off on Wed.

Good to hear, I'm having them fitted on Wednsday! I have the FNB castor correction plates on atm, been on since Aug but recently the drag link has been fouling the radius arms, I'm not a big fan of grinding clearence on the arms/link so went for the gold plated upgrade. If anyone wants the...
