i havnt had a look yet but im thinking the cluch circlip has come off and causing the gearing to slip down and lock up.

when i got the fronty it didnt have the fwh clutch so i had to build 1 out of parts i found in the scrappy (very hard work compressing the springs :cry: ) and i remember the clip wasnt very tight on the end of the shaft.

ah well its not the first time ive had it all in bits lol

Funnily enough, I have 5x Gooyear Wrangler MTR's on order, but being 33" they won't fit until the suspension is raised.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm going to have a play as it is - that'll be fun :D

was gonna say I've got my Spare 255/65R16 on the Steel Spare if you wanted to throw that on!
Be funny if you get 4 completely different sizes and styles on each corner!

Umm, I think I'd better drive to Cinderford to ask my Mum for my Pocket Money, the Mrs don't let me have any!!

I should be at The Cottage of Content by 14:00hrs...
I'll be nipping off at around 8:30am on Sunday to return home and grab the Family then return ..

Tow-Rope/Straps Sorted ....
WD-40 Sorted ....
Jury Rigged Rubble Sack .. Sorry, Radiator Shield Sorted ....
New CB Aerial & New Speaker for CB .... Sorted
Me .... Bricking it!!!

OK, Now the Mushy Bit ...

I know quite a few of you Drivers/Guests who are lucky enough to be joining us either on the Social and/or P&P Day will be thinking "SSteve has done well on this" ,
Well, I had a lot of Help on this ..... So Before the Social Day I'd just like to thank Trugga and Apache_Andy For all of their Help dealing with this, Without their Assistance I would've been stuck on What Hints to give, What Bits to ensure are Secure/Working, Where we were going to Stay for the Social and Discounted Rates for our Group at the P&P day..
Thanks Guys and See you tomorrow

Oops, seem to have over done it on the Flakes - therefore, an outer of 48 Flakes available, open to offers at cost price or above.

:idea: - take the flakes into the office and get the girlies to have a Flake eating competition :wink:

ONLY a 512 - my digital SLR only has 4mb (yes 4mb) - so I'll leave the stills camera at home and concentrate on the handicam.

I'll be bring my laptop too, but only to offer a little greenlaning/offroad championship video entertainment during Saturday evening (full screen quality rather than the samples I've posted at lower resolution).
