yes i did bump into ryan was funny watching that go roll round haha
and the lock forgot about that, massive improvement could rely hang the arse out and get close to the wall, but when it dried up i had to wind the angle off to keep my speed up.
There has got to be some good photos some were, there was some uni lads there filming not sure if they got me before it broke lets hope they did
The few hours i did get out of it has told me it needs to be alot stiffer front and rear, it felt way to rolly and transferred hard, i need a seat i sit in not on. as it was rely hard to stop my self jumping into the passengers seat when entering, i want to go back to 15s so i can run toyos t1rs up front so it doesn't under steer, lose some weight from some were not sure were yet, and if there is any money left when i get some, i want to poly bush the front end as the bushes look rather tried so that should improve things alot.

good to see you got it home ok after loading it on the trailer in the dark lol

yer it was fun trying to load it haha
must remember to build some rams for it

well ive just got a job, finally been out of work since late last year, working as a mechanic 3 days a week other 2 im at college but once im level 3 qualified should be this june time there gunna sponsor me to be a mot tester woop, so after ive taxed my daily hack (classic range rover btw since the volvo is broken) and get some new mud tyres on it as the ones on it are badly cracked money can be chucked at the volvo so updates should happen

Awesome! And:

haha thought some one would like it heres a picture of it we couldnt find anything big enough to dislocate the rear spring on the last pay and play day we did, we do alot of green-laning normally, we have had it dislocated fully couple of times but never had camera, theres a winch up front that i would be lost with out not for off-roading as much as moving dead cars around haha other bits are tank gaurd, just a 200tdi with more boost and fuel and a lsd centre diff lock instead of the manual version, spring+body lift and the tyres etc

well spent a bit of time on my volvo today, got the old engine out and inspected the nice hole in the block looks like a crap casting to me but anyway with my new engine sat by the side line i had to try it in the hole ive created and it fits just, even with the standard heater matrix fan shroud in place although not pictured just need to buy some conversion parts in a couple of weeks when ive saved up enough money and can get it bolted in.
I did try and start it i got a few bangs and clouds of grey smoke but not running, i think it was down to not a strong enough batterys so on charge they went and will try later in the week
but thats probably a good point with it not being bolt in just sat there on bits of wood hahaha

Cor! Sizeable hole!! Manfoot abuse right there, glad you got some time in before it failed.

Big fan of the range rover too! Fantastic bit of kit.

proper man foot haha and yer the range rover is a awesome daily no worrys over pot holes, speed bumps, small cars it also does a good 30-35mpg and with thanks to some tweeking it also is pretty fast for a 2.5T motor

after a good days work the petrol engine is fixed and back in and running awaiting a new input shaft in the bell-housing
and is now up for sale as i need the funds see fors sale thread
