Hi there, I am new to 4x4 and live in Northamptonshire,
1. Does any other other member live close to me?
2. I have a Fourtack 1990 (H) and the brakes are very poor, Is this normal?
3. I am considering changing my tyres for a more off- road type, Any suggestions?
Cheers
Mike
Mike Regarding your brakes,
Mike
Regarding your brakes, in what way do you mean they are poor? If you have heaps of pedal travel, and heaps of handbrake travel as well, its probably the rear shoes need adjustment. They do have automatic adjusters, but I found they dont work the best all the time. I actually removed mine, and adjust the rears manually. Perhaps you may also have sticking calipers on the front.
Cheers
David

Yeah, holiday was pretty damn
Yeah, holiday was pretty damn good. 5100km in 12 days. It was as dry as heck though. Dust everywhere in the Rocky. Damage confined to stuffed rear leaves, radiator holed, and corregation damage. I am trying to convince Lurch to put up a new gallery so I can post pics of the trip.
Cheers
