cheers ideal

better still , don't use maps. use the stars/moon etc:rolleyes:

yawn!!

i am trying to find a suitable place to mount my garmin 60csx in my defender. don't really want to make holes in the dash as its quite a new vehicle? any suggestions. thanks

lets be honest... there would be not much left of most vehicles at 85mph plus.. but thats not the point. release the power of the engine but use it sensibly and cautiously when appropriate?? how many of us can really say we have not been over 80mph?? anybody?

ok thanks. that makes sense. emission regs. can a limiter just affect top end and emissions without altering characteristics of the rest of the engine/torque curve?

sort of understandable re:tyre ratings etc but then there maybe the odd time coming down the motorway that it may be nice to be above 80? so is it removeable then or not? :confused::confused:

wasn't so much concerned with top speed? but presumably restrictor is just that? therefore having a possible affect on general engine performance? as i don't know? thought the easiest way to test would be to remove it??

an unusual request I know for a land rover? i have quite a new defender, and i read in this months LR owner international mag, that it is limited to 82mph? anyone know how to remove limiter?? cheers

some interesting points there. i suppose my biggest problem is not really knowing how involved i will get and how " off Road " i want to go.:confused: ie. just green lanes or more serious stuff. what i don't want to do is save money early on and then regret it every weekend i go out, as another...

point taken re:saving money. but how do you learn? not got time to do a course?? and if i go out to the vehicle on the weekend and hearing a knocking sound etc? where do you start!!:confused:

i was looking at buying a relatively newish 90 defender for off roading? mainly because i am a mechanical numpty and would not know where to start on keeping an older beast on the road to muddy weekends!! am i just wasting my money investing in something so new.ie damage etc or do others do...

haven't been there for years, but may try once for the winter!

ok thanks. just wanted to know where i go about finding suitable lanes/areas for a play in the mud:)

will answer dreckly:p
