I think 300 ha summed it all up very well....best to join a club, try a tyro, then maybe RTV, start and learn your off-roading skills where you are not going to damage your motor. then you can progress, you will be amazed at what a standard Land Rover can achieve with enough commitment.

Hiya, A good place to start is Association of Land Rover Clubs page, (http://www.alrc.co.uk/) on here you will be able to find your local club, also there are various pay and play sites, and groups on facebook. can be as gentle or severe as you wish offroad with events ranging from TYRO, very...

Hi All I am nearing completion of my trialer, now the tricky part, wiring.....not being an electrical expert, or anything else for that matter! I have put together a crude diagram of what I think I need, would appreciate anyone who knows looking over my diagram and thoughts and offer any...

You going to Sewell Jai?

Well this weekends work.... Finished making exhaust pipe, and brackets and mounted it. Fitted brake calipers. Not a huge advance but at least something.

Thats looking really good, you will need another motor for offroad soon......are you still planning on the heated screen and door mirrors as well? Would be interesting to know the noise level difference now, I should imagine its a good place to be in now on the faster roads. Keep up the good work.

I have been keeping a website of the build, for my own purposes really, however if you wan t to see the work done please visit: http://www.brunger.org.uk/CCV_Build.html

Hiya, I'm with Anglian LRC we often run joint events with CVLRC. so yes in the local area, I am probably one of the Northern most members of Anglian LRC. And it will be log booked.

If anyone is willing to offer any advice on wiring I would welcome it, I have prepared what I think is the basic wiring diagram in the attached file. Many thanks

Hi All I did start several years ago building a CCV, this project has taken for ever what with various family stuff, and have only just got back into it, The rules have changed so my the role cage now doesn't meet the spec for any timed events! anyways thought I would get this going again and...

Hi All I'm in Buckingham

Throttle control from RR is coming in from the left, so the bracket is made up the wrong way round, I was thinking more of extending throttle spindle and making up a bracket to bolt on the back of the block.

Hi All I am not sure if this is the right place, has anyone swapped a 3.9 to run on carbs with an auto box, if yes what solution did they arrive at for operating the kickdown?

I bought a Sealy 150 amp mig welder, about £400, and it has been pretty good, never welded when I started, but with practice can now weld ok, maybe not craftsman style, but functional. For working on land rovers, I decided 150 amp welder was the minimum required, i am building up my own CCV car...

Hi Jai Been a very quiet year offroad wise for me, but now back on the case, just spent the weekend on it and need to update my webiste. I havent had a chance to do anything since Feb! so the status at the moment is, rad mounted, battery tray fabricated and mounted, fuel tank finished, just...

Hi, Have you still got the 300 TDI rad? Cheers

Hi, I had the same issue with my trailer, went to a local tyre specialist and got some 8 ply commercial tyres, if putting much on the trailer I wouldnt want anything less. Only paid about £50 each. It appears that a lot of twin axled trailers are running on totally inadequate tyres esp if home...
