  1. the disco pickup is awesome,i hope to make something simular to that one day i'll put up some landi porn in the future ,it'll be my mates rangerover tray back he's building
  2. very nice,not too sure on the weight saving hole things but other than that its really nice
  3. i mention earlier in this thread that my mate landrover decided to drive itself into my other mates land,here's a couple of pics
  4. have a look at my inspired,setup for street and nothing but ....... my inspired .... page 3 shows my current setup,i could get some measurements if your interested. im running a 75mm/25degree stem,15mm of stackers and sone high rise bars and i found her to bunnyhop and manual very easy cheers,steve
  5. avid sd7's are the best that i've used,cheap and reliable i've had mixed resaults with the shimano xt parrerel push brakes,my mate has one on the front of his mod and it's savage,it does hurt your wrist if your not prepared ! so i tried these on my adamant on the back,and found them to flex the frame sooooo much i lost power,i even tried with a booster and that didnt help; the flex was that much that once the pads were engaged i could carry on pulling the leaver into the grips !
  6. looking good there mate,did you get the pro2 sorted after the brum ride in cov?
  7. i can't make it ,i need every penny at the moment and i can earn money tommorrow so i cant come,sorry people
  8. in one word,excellant!once warn the engine turns once then fires,and it doesnt stutter or change revs on its on,it ticks over lovely and runs lovely. it's been frosty a couple of days ,and been close to freezing a few nights.being diesel it doesnt like the cold too much,but even my dads citreon van starts well in the cold,and it french! cheers for the suggestions people,all have been noted and appreciated
  9. i have taken the connector of by the fuel pump and then manually pumped the fuel filter by hand and diesel trickled out of the hose,maybe it's got clogged up in the pump .thanks for the reply i'll mention the fuel pump to him and see what he says,i should imagine that is what he may look at when he returns to look again.thankyoy for the reply too
  10. i've turned it over for no more than 10seconds at a time,but after a few attempts a light grey mist appears out the exhaust,so i imagine i've knackered the cat now,doh i dont think he has actually,im going to leave a note for him for when he next has a look and i'll mention that. it should be,i've filled up twice from morrisons and the mechanic say's theres no sign of red in the system (not that running red would change the preformance i dont think). cheers guys for the suggestions
  11. it does have injecters,i'll have to have a good look tommorrow at them.thanks for the quick replys
  12. right,i'll try to explain this problem as best as i can but im no mechanic so i might say stuff wrong lol. i got my 2000 x-reg 1.8turbo diesel ford escort van 2 weeks ago,and from the start it took a few attempts to get the thing going.the engine turned over but it wouldnt fire untill the 4th or 5th attempt,but once i was running it would run sweet,no problems what so ever,even would start well even after leaving it for 4-5 hours ;untill this week. as of monday the bloody thing does not start when i need it too for when i need to get to work,i have flatterned the batterry 3 times attempting to get it going.i've had a mechanic have a look for 4 afternoons this week and he's fitted or adjusted . . . 1.non return valve on the fuel line 2.new battery 3.new fuel filter 4.gow plugs 5.tightened fan belt to alternator 6.adjusted tick over so were a bit stumped now,does anyone have any idea's what could be up? incase anyone was wondering,i wait for the glowplug light to go out before i try to start,there is electricty going to the plugs and the thing has started in the afternoons untill today. any tips,ideas or anything greatly appreciated,thanks for reading,steve.
  13. im not telling you not too but that gear ratio your planning is very light and might not be ideal for 24" ,but if that ratio is what you after just ignore me lol. back to topic,i recomend a shimano sora rear mech,it is heavyer but there simple and excellent chain tension for minimal cost steve
  14. i couldnt get mine of,even tried parking a landrover on my pedel and using a long bar to try and force it off to no avail.in the end i drilled my bashring from both sides and smash that up,it then span of easy .
  15. theres a lot of factor that could contribute to what feels nice,plus everyone has different prefferances
  16. i was paying £24 per hourfor lessons and £25 per hour for my pass plus(i highly reccomend doing this).
