Just out of interest, theres a limited slip in the rear diff, is there one in the front axle? The car is very soft on the suspension, compared to my last car anyway, I guess new springs would stiffen it a little?

No, no front LSD and no eay way to fit one either unfortunately.

Nasty clunk will almost certainly be the rubbers on the anti roll bar drop links at the appropriatte end - not too expensive to replace but sometimes need cutting off due to rust nuts etc.

and while you're under there check you've got a skidplate! if not, head for the scrapper - should be standard!

Initial figures indicate 30% saving on fuel but this is just from a basic set of mileage/fuel purchase numbers, much more work needed before I can say with any certainty.

How does it work? What hardware is involved? Intrigued!!!

Hi Nathan...............

Yup, the one and only I'm afraid!

I've defected from the landrover brigade.......... bought myself a nissan.
I'll check for the skidplate... and the bushes on the front ARB....... as for rust, I have an angry grinder

I'm using a multi cell system for the gas, it works using electrolyte and stainless steel plates, lots of reinforced pipe and a safety system in case any hydrogen escapes, otherwise my beloved will be collecting on my insurance policy lol

Will be interested to see photos sometime!

hello Nathan - can't keep away then?

its easy peasy, maximum 4 x 10mm bolts to drop the skidplate, four larger bolts (19mm I think?) to undo ARB, then one bolt each side securing droplinks and bushes through wishbone. If you get the latter off its usually the link balljoint itself rust-welded to the ARB, just needs grinding off and Roberts your fathers brother....

Bolt the new droplinks to the ARB, then locate roughly in place and bolt through the wishbone, and finally fix the ARB in place.

Yes Colin I read your post to me several times.
But whats the point of being here?
Technical info is available freely elsewhere.
Most other forums share the majority view on responsible greenlaning and that means I dont get the P taken out of me on the forum or on invite area only groups.

Theres no way I'll be paying to rejoin here, theres just no point.

I'm not aware that anyone took the pi55 out of you Nathan?

There was nothing more than the usual rough 'n tumble debate that we got little out of, except to learn that a bunch of people from the Midlands came to Wales to shit up our lanes, another bunch of people from somewhere else had a moan about it and talked to a traffic policeman who has no power unless called in by the council, and yet nobody appears to give a tom tit about those of us who actually live here.......hence the frustration.

But all thats been said before to no avail.

So why post in a forum that apparently has no interest for you?

i havnt taken the pi55 out of you
i value your input. all i said is i dont understand it and a little bit i dont agree with. its fair everyone has an opinion

id like you back anyway.

is it just powys thats the painfull council .it seems they dont want input from 4x4 users and alike

i dont know im just trying to understand it all. you need to understand thing in order to fight it
i know i want to fight them in a more aggressive way. but i think powys needs some publicity to get them to listen.... if the visitors dont want to come .....they will listen
if its in the papers they will listen
