    Changing the steering damper

    Hi all I posted a while back about a funny steering wheel wobble, and I was advised it might be the steering damper. I ran it for the first time last night without the damper and the steering wobble went away. Obviously, I don't want to run without it for off roading, or indeed on road for a...

    Using a Handheld CB when Laneing

    Maybe I found some really low-rent one's, but about £90, which is about 20 notes more than a cheap unit + antenna

    Using a Handheld CB when Laneing

    Hi guys I am currently looking around at CB Radio's for my Disco. I don't know if I want to go to the hassle of wiring one in etc, especially if I decide to change my plans and sell the Disco to upgrade to a 'fender. So, I'm thinking about hand-held CB's instead. So, does anybody use hand-held...

    Steering wheel wobble, Disco 1

    Hi folks, I have a Disco 1, 1992 200 TDi, with a 2" lift. I was out green laning with Muddy Gonzo and the others all last weekend, and towards the end of sunday, the steering wheel developed an on/off "wobble". It's not at any particular speed, occurs randomly at anything from 25 MPH to 70...

    As I missed the thread (damn work 'puters broke), can I be the first on a standby list? If anyone drops out I'll pay their bunkhouse deposit, or you can give it me cheaper and I'll actually dip my hand in my pocket for some booze/ grub this time... If it helps it'll be too cold for chip fat...

    On the first half-a-day I thought it was because i was so slow on the lanes (being a newby and all that). It was after the first few hours of missing out on CB traffic as I was the only runner without a CB that they finally pointed out it was the smell putting them all off. My missus loved...

    Thanks for oranising it all Baz. We had a top quality weekend! Mrs Eltax enjoyed it, but I think the initiation has led to her giving up ever coming again! :D All in all a great weekender - thanks for all the food too, next time you have to let me supply the dinner. A few of my piccies:-
