    an air locker will only help with the traction available, poor biting tyres aren't going to find better traction with an air locker, get good tyres first then maybe an air locker to give beastly traction. i used to do a bit of grasstrack racing and the cars with the knobblyest tyres always won:thumbup:

    i saw a transit on weds on my way to work, it had a tonne builders bag right at the back, he was trying to pull out of a very gentle sloping road and was spinning the wheels for ages:thumbup: if he had decent tyres or all terrains then he wouldn't have spun as much and we could all have got on with our journey, don't be that guy..get the good tyres:thumbup1:

    if they are real bfg's then i'd go for it, tranny pattern tyres are pants, also bfg's probably have a higher load rating than your regular cheapies, no contest really:001_cool:

    mine (300tdi disco) took about ten seconds of cranking this morning before i pressed the accelerator and it fired.. very cold this side of the valley, why can't i live that side in the sun?

    after eight pages.. the answer is... you do have your foot to the floor on the accelerator don't you?

    the nato has four mounting bolt holes and the ball has two, i'll measure mine tomorrow to see if the bolthole centres are similar, unless someone knows off hand..

    one of them free magazines for local businesses came through the door today and just before i chucked it into the fire i noticed a company offering a vhs to dvd or harddrive etc service, i'd look up the details but hate junkmail so am surprised that this much info made it as far as my head..

    i'd like more info on the removable studs, how easy is it to remove/fit, what tools are needed? i had a go studding tyres with an air gun years ago when i worked in a garage but can't remember how it worked..

    no, if the engine starts immediately then you can change the earth strap for a new one, if it still struggles you can cross that off the blacklist..

    shouldn't need a sedimenter, mine hasn't got one either but at the base of the fuelfilter (engine bay bulkhead) there should be a plastic wheel to undo to drain off water, i'd just change the filter and forget it..

    take one jumplead, fasten one end to a lump of metal on the engine somewhere, the lump at the front is ideal (thermostat) and fix the other end to the negative post on the battery, then try starting it.. according to haynes manual under the heading ENGINE DIFFICULT TO START WHEN COLD.. 1.battery discharged 2.ignition timing incorrect 3.battery terminal connections loose or corroded 4.preheating system faulty 5.wax formed in fuel 6.fuel injector fault 7.low cylinder compressions.
  22. armchairarborist
    to check the earth strap you can run a jumplead from the engine block to body or battery negative terminal, saves a mucky crawl underneath:thumbup:
  23. armchairarborist
    same here.. you gotta ask yourself if she's a keeper mate:001_tt2:
