Only fitted them yesterday afternoon, out all day laneing on Sunday so will know more then. Initial impressions are its like having steering back on the road after the insas. They wanted to take you offroad even when you didn't, it's like night and day. Nope they are steel challengers...

Most of the work is invisible but there's the new rims and tyres. Need to start work on the roof rack next

Yup done loads, just have given up on this forum after the above. Replaced the clutch All 4 wheel bearings, calliper bolts seized so had to split the axel and weld them free New wheels New tyres Swapped seat foam Wired up the tow bar electrics Cleaned engine bay Replaced headlight towing...

Thanks for your kind words of encouragement to a budding newbie, nice to see such honest constructive support from a well known member. In answer to your question, they are taped until I finalise the design. You are correct, the M6 bolts weren't up to it, so since have replaced with M10. This...

Yes, and yes I am fully aware of the questions regarding them. With the lift and bumper, you are 10x more likely to go under than over.

Guys, I know there is the online db of all the BOATS etc, and its overlaid on google maps, but has anybody done it onto a GPS for use in the Landy? Im thinking you can customise tom-tom and garmin overlays, so being able to map the different rights of ways should be possible. Not sure if you...

OK, few minor updates and fixes today. Fitted a net to the bonnet, should be good for throwing the tow straps under when offroad Changed the washer jets, I now have water again :) and the important one was replacing the headlight mountings. Originally had the dipable motor which had died on...

Was thinking of popping along for a first time as billy no mates. Hoping I could find and tag along with somebody. Ta

Powder coated 3mm checker plate fitted :) Nice and sturdy now, should be good for when I manage to find myself a roof rack

Lol thanks, only because I haven't got round to making a safari grill for her with wading blanket...one day she will be complete then I'll have to get a new one.

OK, I fitted a couple of washing lines to the Landy. I might do some tower wiring and checker plating tomorrow, have to see how it goes.

Ow where, Im only seen it at about 3ppl more

Not sure how well my filter would handle chips ;)

At the moment, its pretty irrelevant, Diesel is still slightly cheeper than veg oil :'( Thanks for the help guys.

I thought unless you declared the duty on the oil, it was classed as tax evasion? Not like Dodgy Dave isn't doing it anyway....

Guys, With the price of diesel going back up.... I know it would be illegal, and therefore totally hypothetical question only. How well would the 300tdi run on 50:50 vegetable oil? Any long term issues? Thanks!

Hey, Sorry, missed this thread, but better late than never. Live in North Bucks, own a D1 300tdi. Used to have a series3 years ago, and now the Mrs has let me have a D1 so she can drive the other car ;) Would love to get out, really interested in doing some laneing locally, although there...

The list is long and distinguished including a new clutch.
