Thanks guys. Looks like I'll be doing night classes in welding at the local college. I'll take it for a MOT pre-check in a couple of weeks anyway and report back. Floydster

Thanks. I hope that's parts and labour? Sounds like learning to weld could pay for itself pretty quickly. Floydster

I'm eventually going to take my IIa Lightweight to the MOT station for a going over before the MOT. I know it's needing a bit of welding :( (don't know exactly how much or what it'll cost) and was wondering if anyone had an idea how much it would cost me to have the chassis replaced. I'm...

I still haven't finished the tapes from 1997. Here's one you folks might like; it features a six wheeled Range Rover. Knockhill racing circuit track attack 1997. Loads of cars, even a Range Rover pickup with six wheels. - Google Video

This is possibly a stupid question but are the plugs and points on my 24 volt lightweight the same as the 12 volt model? Floydster

I'm pretty new to Landys but I'm impressed with the steering on my IIa. It is heavy but there's loads of feedback and plenty of grip. Much better than many modern cars.

Funny how most folk think that Electric cars are a new thing! The Enfield I'm after was made in 1974, about 100 were made and most are still in daily use. As good, if not better, on the old grey energy than any other petrol car made in the same era. Also, the Battery Vehicle Society I mentioned...

You should see the rough stuff

They'll be the horses registered with the Kennel Club.

Do all that before going down to the garage to fill the beast with super "green". Even my own waste goes through my reed bed filtration system. Really! The reed bed is just about ready to process my latest batch of home grown sprouts Mmmmm. Gooseberries for pudding tomorrow, kept frozen by my...

I'm no eco warrior, that's not why I'm into EVs and solar power, I'm just trying to reduce my bills to jack in full time employment sooner. Crikey, I have one car that returns 3mpg and I drive a Landy! However, the Landy's been around since 1972 so the grey energy is way less than anyone who's...

Not a great deal on interest then. If anyone would like to know more then I'd recommend this forum: Battery Vehicle Society Forum :: Index There's even a home energy area for anyone interested in saving some cash on your monthly bills. Cheers, Floydster

I knew what you meant.

Just wondering how many of you are into electric powered vehicles? I've joined the battery vehicle society and anything goes from grass cutters to road going cars/trikes. I've been looking for an Enfield for ages but can't find what I'm looking for. Do any of you have electric vehicles? Floydster

They're great to drive once you're used to them Gear changes are very quick and smooth when you've sussed it Road holding is surprisingly very good. Lots of feedback too since you're in total control Max speed = 55mph Max comfy speed = 45mph Ideal cruising speed = 40mph The brakes aren't that...
