I'm looking at buying a Fourtrak Fieldman but the only problem is that it's post March 2001 and therefore as a car is taxed based on emissions.
Is it possible to get these models taxed as a Light goods vehicle, which I seem to think is a cheaper tax rate?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I may be looking at the vehicle at the weekend.
Im trying to get a better road ratio for my Mira. Im running the ED10 847cc engine, coupled to a 4wd box that ran the EB (i think) 550cc engine and the top end ratios and very bad for highway use. I understand the ED10 box in 2wd was a lower reving ratio than the smaller engine coupled gear boxes.
Did the 4wd gear box fitted with the ED10 have the same highway friendly ratio?
ive read through diff howto so getting that i think
but i keep hearing people on about diff locks and how they
give landrovers and merc g wagons the edge over rough terrain.
what are diff locks , how are they used and what advantages are there with them.
thanks
While doing some research recently, i came across an alarming rapidly rising trend of off road routes being deliberately blocked. These deliberate obstructions were not the usual small piles of rocks placed there by anti 4X4 brigades, but fully engineered obstructions requiring heavy equipment to construct them. Many simply appear overnight and take similar styles of construction.
If anyone is intrested have just listed my YRV Turbo on ebay, 330422668039 i am being a bit optamistic with the price but it will take that for me to part with her, she's a great car
just drove 250mile round trip to london to pick up some parts for work.
id say at least a ton in weight inside ont he way back and it purred all the way there and back in fact id say it drove better with the ton in the back.
proper work horse the i drive the more i like it.
Assassin's article on tracing vibrations is very interesting and as he says tracing a static vibration is easier than tracing a moving vibration.
In tracing 'static' vibrations the offending items need to be 'excited' at their resonant frequency, most easily by running the engine and revving it up to generate a range of frequencies.
