Hi and welcome jamiecracker. Decided to get a bit of culture hey!

Sounds like your old man has his head screwed on.

It was great to see the report on Stockton and see the guys all pitching in digging and helping.

[jamiecracker]

hehehehe well he really wanted a Landrover as he has always had them but when they are 20k more expensive it kinds of speaks for itself
drove it from dealers yesterday and found it had a bit of turbo lag as it is a manual but love the rear window and the interior finish

Welcome mate - if it's a dizzle and you're after pace, don't use first gear, stick it in second and use the torque.
1st gear is for towing

[Stu]

1st works if you have bigger tyres fitted, mine launches in 1st gear. With stock tyres though 2nd is easy to take off from a standing start

Welcome JC - I'm envious you get to muck about in boats all day, but won't hold that against ya

Cheers

Hey Jamie,

yeah still with Georgiou mate, probably only about 4 weeks left here on site mostly on the dredging.

Is your dad going to mod his so its as big as yours?

[jamiecracker]

no iam pretty sure he is going to keep it stock
he is having problems with it surging and pinging and some sort of whinning noise...and it isnt an engineer

[Austblue]

OH the gloves are off already! Careful mate as a hilux sufferer you're outnumbered over here

Yes I know his problem. I get the same noise from my kids
