If you take the prop off at the diff end first you can hold it to one side so it opens the gap between the socket and the prop ;)

Yeah,sounds like a uj gone on one of the props

They don't steer like a modern car but they shouldn't be sloppy either, get someone to rock the steering wheel side to side while you look underneath at all the steering joints,there shouldn't be any play in the steering joints,if there is they need greasing or more likely replacing. If there is...

It only goes in there for repairs so not too bad,the girlfriends car is in there normaly. The garage is going to be extended backwards about 5 foot so I can get the disco in and close the door and also the roof is going to be raised by about a foot because even with the series in there I can't...

I can just get my 2a in my garage and it sits about 3" higher than standard but i have to take the back wheels off and drive it in on some rims! :D

:lol: :lol:

If your talking standard engines I'd say petrol......oh,and non standard engines I'd say petrol too :D

RTV trials are for road vehicles and are normally just a bit tamer than CCV trials although the same rules apply. You have 10 gates (2 canes opposite each other ) and the idea is to get through all the gates without hitting the gate or stopping at all,whatever gate you get to that is your score...

I fitted disco axles because i was breaking too many diffs and shafts with the series axles,never had an issue with the drum brakes even with the V8 fitted, discs brakes all round was a bonus. It used to get a bit hot before i had the rad modified to 4 core not 3 so i cut the holes to try...

You could go old school and fit them like i had mine back in the 90's (**** ...i'm sounding old!) :D

You need to come to wales then... 1-V8 2-disco axles 3-disc brakes front and rear 4-full roll cage 5-rock sliders 6-homemade winch bumper and 9500lb winch 7-twin snorkels 8-side exit exhaust 9-parabolics with +2" extended shackles 10-modified front shocks and shock mounts (+2"...

I had a s3 box in my 2a for donkeys years,then when i rebuilt the landy someone said the 2a box was stronger so i fitted one,2 weeks later this happened..... so the old s3 box went back in and has been fine ever since :)

I just got fed up of changing halfshafts,it got so bad i carried spare ones with me and changed them at the side of the road with the aid of a special tool i made to get the broken bit out of the diff. Should have left it like that cos the shafts are a lot easier to swap than a gearbox! :)

If you decide to do it my advice would be keep the series gearbox and transfer box,put some 3.54 diffs in it and have some spare halfshafts for when they snap. I've put stronger axles on mine and all that happens now is the gearbox breaks instead of the half shafts,i fitted a s3 box which is...

I made some brackets years ago that bolted to the bulkhead where the screen mounts and fitted my spots there,worked pretty good cos i angled them to the side a bit to get a wider spread of light for laning.

Yeah,once we got our bearings just fired it back up and drove it up the hill ready for the next section,although I gave it a miss cos it was the same hill again!! :screaming_bug_eye_f :Cry: I was trialing in the series but the roll was in my mates chopped down range rover,thank god!

The same happened to me when I got one for the series,I was very disappointed as I had to put all my big hammers back in the shed! :D

I secure it on the rear to stop it moving forward when braking and the same at the front to stop it falling off the back,I also put it in gear and handbrake on. The end of the day you can't have too many straps on,just remember to keep checking them to make sure they haven't gone slack every so...

There's a nice campsite in Rhayader and its a 2 min walk to the village with a choice of pubs. Again it's about half an hour from strata but also has some good lanes nearby ;) Wyeside Caravan Park: Home Or if you want you could stay here,they do camping too and you can use all the...

Or a worn out lobe on the camshaft
