Re: Nordlandstreffet 2010

Hi.
I spoke with my brother about his, he wants to go!
It is a very, very long way!
In all seriousness, what sort of temps will we see at that time of year and what sort of speeds can we maintain on that E6?
Driving from Oslo to campsite takes how long?

Re: Powerflex Foringer

I had those bushes commisioned, I sent all the samples and paid the set up costs for them. I run them on my Atlantic, I do not find them harsh at all, the van is comfortable and quiet, but it drives brilliantly. I think it's unfair to say that they are harsh, because they are not. Most derivatives a...

Any of you guys back yet? Hope you all get home safe, but I think your journey may have been shorter than mine!! We left at 1830 in the evening, we didn't get home til 0220! This is usually a 2.5 hour journey!! They closed the motorway after a 5 car crash, and we just sat, and sat, and sat.... :lol:...

The originals are made by Sachs/Boge I have a set on the shelf, you can compare them, the only difference being that the original parts numbers are embossed (stamped) and the aftermarket ones are stickers. Sachs/Boge are about £200 a set! bit of a difference for the same thing! I'm not really a fan ...

T4 Quickshift

Theres a lot of "buzz" about this in the UK at the moment. I did a quick how to. Dunno if this is old news? You must be aware that there are 2 types of gear linkage set up. The earlier style is fitted on all 4 cylinder models and the 2.4D The later style (which was revised in 2000) was use...

I think one of Mike Plompen (www.busban.be) contacts is working on the fronts.

I can have the dampers made to any length, if you want them stock height it is no problem. Postage is, they are heavy!

I sell loads of it, decent kit. NOt as fancy as H&R but good never the less. Springs were modelled on standard -30mm springs, then made lower. 90% of my customers own campervans, so the -50mm was set up for them. -70mm is right at the edge of the camber adjustment, so as low as you can go sensib...

My old Syncro Pick Up.

This truck was a brickwerks stop gap for when the Caddy was being repaired after an accident. It came along at the right money having just been retired from service as a potato farm truck. It was a little tired and needed a good dose of loving to bring it back up to being a reliable, useable truck. ...

The Green H&R's have a plastic sleeve over the ends to reduce noise, have you tried this? sliding some thin tubing over the coils to try to reduce the noise?

The fault you describe is quite normal for the "Bordeax Red" H&R springs due to their design. A normal T3 rear spring is made from Tapered wire and is called a "miniblock spring" The idea of the miniblock spring is that you get the characteristics of a longer spring in a shor...
