Toyota+celica+convertablie=hairdressers car.

 

[storm99]

hehe...know a lot about motors do you...how about this? do you even know what it is?

 

[howardo]

Its an old triumph, an old mans car or a hairdressers car.

 

[storm99]

your wisdom amazes me...model, year, specs...what an arse you are...get back into your box. Do you point at concorde and say 'ooo an aeroplane'?...

 

[howardo]

Sorry but I'm not a spotter, I have too much living to do. It looks like a spitfire but could be a TRsomethingorother. I really don't care.

which is exactly why you have a freelander..cock.

 

[howardo]

You've called me an arse and a cock now and I've called you nothing, you must really be a hairdresser on the quiet to be so upset. Buy a Freelander it will really cheer you up.

 

[storm99]

you are right, i will be so happy when i buy it and burn it.

 

[howardo]

Please show us the pictures when you do.

Thats ok it was a 1.8 k-series.

got wot it deserved then

 

[howardo]

No, it deserved a decent engine, but landrover couldn't afford one.

 

[jai_landrover]

I'm still confused.
How does running it in difflock with only one propshaft increase wear?
Not by anything surley thats only if the propshaft was attached.
You could argue that you are still turning the front end but hey thats nothing really.

 

[jamescronin]

If you want to increase wear then try this.

1) Make a bracket out of 6mm + HT steel, and put it on the flange witout a prop shaft to lock it, and force the diff to spin round to make the rear shaft turn.

Would be interesting gear ratio mind you.

The only problem with having it in diff lock and only one shaft is that obviously the prop shaft, and front and rear diffs were only designed to take half the power for long periods (onbiously for short periods they may take all the power on unever terain), but if you cruse for a long period (i.e. several thousand miles) you are likely going to suffer for increased wear of all parts.

BTW which prop shaft is going to be missing? - interesting handling

The extra wear would be bugger all if everything was in good order. But I get what you mean I really son't think its a problem even for thousands of miles if need be.

After last nights "explosion" I have no front prop at the moment, handling does seem different but can't say how. Maybe I'll get more mpg
