    tried to do more than 80kph but still no joy (insert plenty of expletives here), so i hooked up my electric fuel pump to the system and tried it and still no gogo so i started to inspect and check tightness on every fitting on the line and this time i noticed a split fitting so replaced that and it sprang into life.

    was a fair mongrel to find... but got there in the end thankfully...
    Good stuff

    grunt down low is astonishing but i am rather intrigued as to how it will handle the climb up the di'agular range or the climb to the bellthorpe road to the top of the range but need to get clutch with some grippy before i take them on
    Try a 1.222:1 TF case from a Disco, I guess from what you have mentioned it has a 1.003:1 high range, which is apparently factory ratios for these. However, My uncles one had 1.222:1 from new, and running 750/16 it was fine in 5th.

    I was going to mention turning up the fuel screw a little more, but your comment about the clutch has merit. It WILL slip unless a heavier pressure plate is used, especially in 5th

    welp got the truck back from MR late this arfo.

    left leg will be lean mean fighting machine in 3 months... heavy duty clutch is exactly that.... but much nicer to drive.

    had the swivel pins and wheel bearings done as well so it should be good for a few klms now i hope

    picked up a 2nd hand hayman reece towbar today from BOR so i will fit that hopefully this weekend and i am right to take the camper trailer for a run somewhere i hope...

    doing a run down to caffery's flat around christmas so want to get all the bugs sorted by then ....
