... and if you find a code not working, contact our Advertising Manager, Andy Phillipou who will investigate.

 

Not much for the clamps. 40nm should be about right.

In the back of Built to Last or in the members section of the Club website 

Yes, just tight (on the Wittsend scale) with a small spanner.

They should not, nor need to be gorilla tight 

You can find the "book" value HERE scroll down towards the end under torque settings.

 

Thanks all. I have the TREs and fitted them. No problem. Is there a torque setting?

Any discount codes any where at the moment? I have just talked to Paddock and they said yes, but what is it please?

Quote from: Kevlar on Yesterday at 07:05 PMI've just read this and agree with Tim's concerns. Specifically:

Q11 refers to the definition of a restored vehicle and includes the sentence "For vehicles with a separate body and chassis, restoration may require the production of a completely new body". There is NO mention of the potential need for a completely new chassis

Q13 refers to the point at which a chassis or bodyshell modification affects the identity of a vehicle and includes the sentence "Removal, addition or alteration of major components such as side members or major cross-members ... should be considered as a new identity". I'm aware that some people opt for coil springs when they replace their chassis, so does this mean that their vehicle should lose its current identity?

Q19 refers to the elements to be considered for assessing a radically altered vehicle. The FBHVC's suggestion is that, as well as modifications to the chassis, "other major mechanical changes (eg engine or type of suspension) should also be considered". So as well as the coil spring point mentioned above, where does that leave owners with V8, 300tdi, 2.5l engine conversions?

I may be reading too much in to this, but my concern is that this could result in a lot of future issues. Personally, I also think that a coordinated response from the club, rather than individual members, would be more appropriate and carry more weight (although I realise that this is likely to involve a lot of work for those in charge)

Changes to suspension type, like coil spring conversions, have for a very long time, meant loss of identity.

3 line air brakes according to the LR conversions catalogue. Presumably if it is converted before registration , its not a substantially altered  within the regs., but that is what happens when subsequent rule changes  have unintended consequences! 

Hi Martin,

Thankyou for that. If ever we meet face to face, I will moisten my tongue ... and clean your boots.

Of course, I still have to work out which cable I will require, but that should be the easy part.

I can't work out where my original cable has got to.  I never unplugged the last one.

Operation Raleigh was a charity based in London which took volunteers on overseas projects. Now called Raleigh International and still running. I used to supply them with Land Rovers and do driver training for them. Started off in the 1970s as Drake by the King and John Bashford-Snell.
