I'm a bit slow on the uptake with this one but we had great fun in Essex with it!!!

Our 410 Santana came with a 5 speed out of the factory and as someone else has said, you really have to get it going before using 5th on a fast road, but the engine has enough torque for it to be used around town on the flat at 30, reducing noise and fuel consumption some what - and lets face it, bo...

I say DON'T DO IT also, your springs will be flat in no time and will be really soft and knackered. The reduction in approach angle is silly also. I put some on and took them straight back off!!! The bset way to lift and SJ in my view at the moment is to get KAP lifting springs and appropriate shock...

Hi there, I had the same problem but with my standard tea candle like bulbs and don't think it's because you are overloading it. The problem I had was a bad connection from the pin in this plug to the fuse board. As bottom plug to the fuse board is only an earth, and therefore it doesn't matter whic...

They are all on OS Maps, although our friends did most of the research and spoke to the local Councils ang Glass reps, it's just a case of getting the right maps and joining Glass to ask the local rep what's good and what's not! Get your maps out and get out there, but don't go alone on many of thes...
