    Offroading and that exhaust!!!!

    We moved my exhaust to allow the fitment of a LPG tank, removal of the rear cubby a piece of pipe and a powerflow "silencer" free up a lot of space/ clearance underneath the rear floor

    Sump Guards, anyone bought or modified exisiting one?

    use the existing frame and weld the plate to it ,make it a bit longer at the back and use the pre tapped holes in the sub frame to fix it . I put a 6mm rubber spacer between the plate and the sub frame as a vibration dampener as the plate buzzed a bit at constant road speeds(50-55)

    Thinking of throwing in the towel

    just a thought but is the thermostat not opening enough and restricting the flow ,pressurising the rad and shoving the coolent into the tank? Can you take the stat out and see what happens?

    Cooling trouble-shooting

    Have you checked the water pump? Mine was faulty and was weeping a small amount of coolant But you couldn't see any dampness on the block I only noticed when a pool appeared in the under tray.

    Long Mynd Lanes

    I have to say even though the lanes are now smooth they are still worth a visit, as the views west across the valley towards Wentnor,the Stiperstones, and on a clear day Snowdon are worth it . And all that fresh air is good for you:)
