Its got 12 months mot, he will tax it for 6 months from 1 oct because I will fetch it on 5th october.:yay::yay::yay: the previous owner fitted a civvy rear cross member, I can live with that, also a brand new civvy front bumper, question, can I just put the military bumperettes on the front bumper? or do I need a genuine military bumper? there are a couple of holes in panels, n/s headlight surround, and the o/s sill, both replaceable. fitted with a 2.5 n/a diesel need a couple of wing boxes for ariels, but got a lead on them,. will post pics as and when I get them. its got a set of michelin xcl tyres, set at 25 psi, is this correct?

chevpol Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Hi Mark i see you have XCL tyres are the walls all bumpy.cw Hi cw, dont know yet, I havnt picked her up yet!!!!, I do know however, the tyre pressure is 25psi, the seller told me that is what he was told to put in, is this correct?

Lord Burley Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Hi Mark i see you have XCL tyres are the walls all bumpy.cwAll the walls on them XCL,s are bumpy.The bigger the tyre the bigger the lumps.Have a look at some of the wrecker Fodens fitted with them.

Guest catweazle (Banned Member) Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Mark i think 25/28 would be normal especially for the fronts,the rears could be as much as 38 depending on the load.I have seen lots of XCLs with this wavy sidewall phenominon that isnt there when new,i have asked if anyone knows about this but no replys.My fitter didnt like driving the carrawagon on these tyres and gave me all sorts of reasons why i should change them.I have them on the champ and the tread is very low,not so noisy.they have wavy sidewalls,i regulary drive at 70 mph and so far no probs.I think you should have a good look at them and satisfy yourself they are ok.i find them very good off rd.cw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know about the price,i value it at £800,sell the 24v kit and the carbs makes it a cheap engine,but knowing them it will be some stupid high price and some numpty will pay it.Public money paid for all this stuff it should go to public auction not all this secret squirell stuff open to abuse.:argh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
