Brace yourselves, Norfolk has 3 inches of snow :o Schools are closed and everything, get supplies before it's too late!!!!

Hit it with a big stick?

You really don't fuck about when kitting a vehicle out do you :o

There are three M8 fixings that hold the factory bracket in place. Just remove the whole thing and then use the existing hole that's furthest from the hinge.

I 'think' that strut is exactly the same as the one I got but comes with 700N of force. You can then bleed it to the point that it suits your need. If anyone knows what the struts are called that have damping at the end of the stroke it would be really useful.

I'll have to see how it goes. I did wonder if having a trailer on will be an issue but i'm thinking the number plate will probably allow it to rest against the jockey wheel handle, at least with the positive pressure it won't keep closing on me as it did with the old stay. Tight parking could...

The original stay was OK but I found it would never hold half way as the rubbers were worn. It was the same at full open, I generally forgot to lock it so would invariably have it crush me when ever the wind blew. The strut is just a normal one so you need to slow it before reaching the end of...

Other than thinking I'd be a smart ass and get a slightly more powerful strut than recommended, it works. Saw the Aussie kit but couldn't stomach the cost so started digging and took a chance. After measuring about 73 times I ordered the following from SGS-Engineering.com GS8-18-250-300...

Stafford is just a bit too much of a trek from south Norfolk. Why are the other two shows on the same weekend? That's madness. Would most likely give the Kelmarsh one a look as it's nearer, went to Billing in about 2000 when we were looking for a Defender, really enjoyed the show and luckily...

Avoided the glue factory for the time being

Have you got any more detailed info on those routes? I'm in Diss so would love to see what's on my doorstep.

Looks like you've just slung some roadkill up top

What sort of pressure would you recommend?

FFS, now I want a Unimog again. Having watched the above video what's the costs of a set up like that? I'm thinking lottery win money, and 10mpg and 62mph surprised me somewhat!

Not today but last week. New front right brake caliper. All set to leave early to take the horse to the vets, get to the yard and am greeted with the smell of grinding metal. Caliper had completely seized, took 15 minutes to cool enough to even look at it, ordered and fitted replacement by...

Just finished a drawer build in my 120, not intending it for over landing just wanted something that maximises the space when you need two dog cages. I used MDF as it won't be seeing too much heavy use but having seen other builds I'd certainly consider metal framework with wooden inserts if I...

Really useful info. Does it feel any different and most importantly how much was it?

Only slight pain is that they are rotational, so i've put a general grabber on the spare. Have another part worn sat in a shed incase a have any major issues. Hoping that having the new ones on the front will mean the wear will end up equalling out.

Finally got round to replacing the tyres. Picked up some second hand Kumho KL71's a while back, 2 are like new and 2 are about half worn. Fancied trying something a bit more extreme and as we don't do too many miles it seemed like a good idea. They look fantastic, completely transformed it...

What were the specs and quantities used?

Worst day ever.... it got dirty

The Touareg was on the shortlist before we bought the LC. Heard lots of good things about them, quite fancied the V10 but someone who had one mentioned the comedy mpg they do (less than 10) The thing thats putting me off modern 4x4s and cars in general is that they are too nice to use. Our LC...

I thought ours sounded like a bag of spanners when we first got it (bought with 12ok on it) My wife assures me it is a quirk of that engine and Toyota engines when cold. She even showed me the post on a forum. I'm still a bit reticent. I've started adding 5% two stroke oil every fill up, so...

The existing roof. Just wondering really as the vehicle is designed to go over difficult terrain there must be loads of twisting force. They always say when a sports car gets turned into a convertible it loses structural rigidity.

Is there anything structural up there or just a big sheet of steel? Just wondering how it will fair with any twisting.

The pope going on a tour of the Amazon?

£1140!! Is that correct? How do the locals afford to run cars?

Ban children, all of them, every single one. Clean toilet/shower/cleaning facilities and guests that respect others is about all I would want.

Failing to get a bluetooth obd reader to work with Torque

I must be getting old because waste is something that really gets on my wick. Other than the layers upon layer of plastic that everything is now covered in, some of the stuff businesses bin is unbelievable. A friend used to work for one of the big civil engineering firms on the railways...
