i wouldnt worry to much as they dont stick out that much. Alot of people around by me have them twice as bad as that and they never seem to get pulled up.

Ah no need to be scared! Although I very nearly rolled mine at matchams trying to go up a hill in the woods next to where the sand pit is!IT was piverting but luckily there was a tree to rest my roof on. By the looks of the tree a fair few people had contact.

Yes if you want an excuse but truefully no. Loads of standard vehicles go and even people in there everyday freelanders with kids just for a laugh and you also get people in bob tails and traybacks. Theres stuff for everyone. Yeah after the check he gets you to sign it so you got no come backs...

Matchams has no rules lol they do a safety check now on your vehicle before you enter. Its funny he goes to me ". Do you have a 1st aid kit" no " are your wheel nuts tight" yes right of you go then.

Sorted 23rd it is :D matchams is it? I may be able to get someone else to join but his in a so unfortunately :eek:

I can do Sunday apart from between 12th - 19th Feb as I'm on holiday but other than that I'm free. Hopefully I'll be fixed soon as its just a half shaft so not to bad. If not ill definatly jump in. Matchams is good to kill a few hours and nice and local but its £25 to get in then £10 for any...

Just the usual bolts and holdings mine had one on corners and ends, few extra by doors and one on the inside of the tub

Well i have pulled the diff out and got remaining half shaft out! Didn't take long to do at all even though I had to partly rebuild it as I need it to roll to move it out the way for a few days. I reckon I could do a CV in 30 mins and with basic tools as well quite confidently. Was really happy...

Stripped both sides apart at lunch. N/S is fine, O/S has has snapped the end off also looks like its twisted. Looks like im gunnahave to take the diff out and inspect that and get the rest of the shaft out

i did them checks you described and neither wheel would spin the prop. Probably halfshafts or cvs then. cheers

I'm just glad I didn't pull it from the axle! Think the old landy would **** itself and fall to a thousand pieces!

Ha how funny! Although you do realise they are not called towing eyes don't you? You have to refer to them as tie down rings otherwise you must be clueless :rolleyes:

My fingers are crossed

Went off roading on Sunday and apppear to have broke my diff I think. Basically when I was stuck and trying to get out my landy let out a loud clonk and I lost all drive to front wheels. Now when I drove it back if I went up to 30mph I would get what can only be described as a death wobble...

totally agree on correct ropes. Thats what they are disigned for. A little tug on a normal strap wont hurt but with a run up causes amazing amount of sudden stress and will only brake some thing. Oh and as he discovered always go from tow bar or as suggested a proper hitch. Would like to see...

Nice to see someone near me on here I'm in new milton! There's a few of us but nothing seems to get organised as we are all busy it would appear lol but if you want a mud fix try matchams on a Sunday or a Tuesday night. If you do get something going ill always come along but currently my landy...

Looks like a good day! The series 3 and the red disco look great! Wish I had rocky lanes like that near me.

Then its game over and the site has a new water feature

Im gunna always remember me spade to dig stuff out a bit. Could relieve a lot of stress on the chassis or crossmember. After all its old steel and wasn't designed for huge tugging. Although with them plate you would do well to rip that out. It cover a fairly big area. Bet its sh!t scary when...

Looks good but my tow bars a lot higher than yours. I'll have to do some tweaking when I get a chance. But I just been informed I gotta put to classic cars in my garage for a while so that's all out the question for a while. I'll get me chassis and ring put back on, then its time to have a think...
