Johns is a 300TDi he installed at xmas. He wanted the manual but when he was asked how much he wanted for the auto box by about 100 people he realised that it was probably worth something so installed it.
My Golfs a VR6 fella.
Thanks again Paul dont forget to PM me
No probs Brian. I think you paid over the odds but i know you were desperate
Hope you get it sorted....

So today i needed to get the Disco ready for the off road event tomorrow, so first things first i had to put a matching set of wheels on, then i started on the front end.

Got the bullbar and bumper off:






My shackles fit on my steering guard:






But that left the corners exposed. So i took the corner trims:






And i cut them down:






And cable tied them back on to match what bumper was left (i love the functionover form attitude )






Heres a closer view of what the rock did:








And all ready for tomorrow:






Johns now drives and is also ready for tomorrow:






I shall take some pics of the day too!

carnt beat abit of offroading, heres a quick pic of the front of my 200tdi, 2 inch lift kit with inch spacers blocks too, dislocators, 750 tyres, diff gaurds, steering arm sleeves, cut high arches, strengthened bumpers, paid 200 quid for it with tax and mot, spent 300 on it, entered my first trial and came 3rd out of 30 motors!! well impressed

[Brian Stirrup]

I recon the Auto box is definately the best option. One less thing to worry about, just plant the right foot and go...

Oh and I lost my front bumper today. Pictures to follow. I'm still grinning, what a great day....

[Brian Stirrup]

What a Day.

All started with some cleanish intact cars.






Then started to get them dirty.




Watched others having some fun.







Then Anita gave the Disco her first war wound. We got properly stuck in a ditch and could not get out by going forward.. Eventually reversed out but we ripped off the bumper trying to drive out.






Then Drizz decided to get stuck up the top of a steep climb. :lol:



But he got out and came back down again




Some posing shots.





Then we came accross a stuck Disco and stopped to watch.





The little buggy just slipped down and crashed into the Disco...


Then the huge recovery truck seen earlier in the water came over to help... :lol:

Result.




By now most of the quarry had came to view. :lol:








Then home again to annoy the neighbours. :lol:

[Steve!]

How much does a day like that cost?

[Brian Stirrup]

Besides the cost of the car and fuel it was £30 into the quarry for the whole day.

[Steve!]

bloody bargain

[Brian Stirrup]

Hell yeah...... Was the best day out we have had for ages. Thats £30 for a full days family fun. You won't get that at Alton Towers

[Drizz]

[Brian Stirrup]

[Drizz]

[Brian Stirrup]

Nice one Dan. When are we doing it again?

[Tom Williams]

what happened to the defender?

[Brian Stirrup]

Teething problems after an engine and box swop I believe. Its gone from Petrol to Diesel.

[Drizz]

Fuel starvation. Either lines collapsing or the feed/return are the wrong way round...

[Jack]

The pump might be shafted now if it's been run without fuel.

[gsi34000]
