    er, if your northbridge fan is humming loudly, disconnect it. _dont_ kick the side of the case, it _will_ break it.

    only downside, being so young, currently lacking a job, it feels like it costs £10 everytime i start it, and another £20 just to go down the drive :< damn fuel cost :|

    They've been on the Diesels since '85 i think - it was still an 'option' then... but these days - ie from 89 on, EVERY Diesel in a Land Rover has a turbo.... there's basically 4 Diesel engines available now on various models - the Td4 2.0l 4-pot Turbo-D (Freelander - same motor as the BMW 320d....)Td5 2.5L 5-pot Turbo-D (defender) Td6 3.0L 6-pot Turbo-D (Range Rover) and the latest one is the TDV6, which is a 3.0L V6 twin(think)Turbo-D. Also you got the 2.5 V6 petrol in the Freelander and the 4.6 V8 petrol in the Disco and the Range Rover....

    Hey guys, been a while so I thought I'd stop back in to annoy you all

    Been playin' around with the Wife's Beetle a bit
    As well as doing the mods I mentipned to my truck but pics don't show anything but the tires and new taillights. Shocks, rock gaurd etc... don't show in anything but a closeup. Just picture the bottom 8 inches of the body coated in a rough textured, thin, spray on bed liner as well as the top edge of the trucks bed (bed rails ). I got the Mickey Thompson wheels but had to dismount them in favor of the stock wheels you see in the pic. The stock offset is a 1/4" different than anything you can find aftermarket and with the extreme tire size (32.9") for a non lifted truck like mine the offset made the tires lugs rub on the front/bottom edge of the fenders inside the fender wells. The truck, after running the torsion bars up and tires, wound up with a 3" lift. My next item is a 6" Fabtech lift Fabtech and a pair of American Racing Mojave Teflon coated wheels. I want the whole truck mud and rust proof. Rust is a bigger issue here than it is there. Just about as much rain here but with TOO much road salt in the winters

    Here's a cuple pics-

    Until I get the bike, this is what I will be driving (and I'll probably keep on driving it afterwards, too!)

    Nice to be back Lowe

    Thanks Vimeous. I painstaked over wheels for 2 weeks before narrowing it down to 2, then I painstaked over it again for 3 days before ordering. My Wife got frustrated with me after 2 days
    The truck wheels I'm going for the black Teflon coated. Not quite sure how the black on black's gonna work but my number one priority is clean and rust free 10 years from now and the Teflon coating intrigued me. Don't ever want to have to worry about driving through sludge and having rust. The AL Mickey wheels pitted after 3 weeks on the Indiana roads in winter
