Yippi I have finaly got one! I drove it back from Torquay to Folkestone 260 miles on just half a tank.
Lovely drive, I was worried about having an auto but I actually really like it, thanks for the advice on autos guys.
Lovely motor just a couple of niggly little bits which I hope I can get a few tips for.
One is that there are some of the lights on the switches don't work, the switches work just not the lights illuminated wording (mirror controls etc) is it just an led under the switch that i can change?
Also the Ariel doesn't raise or lower, the motor tries to work but nothing happens, I will have a closer look, but if it the the contacts on the brushes of the motor can these be repaired or is it a new motor?
The only other thing is that with the blacked out windows I cant see when reversing at night, would putting an extra bright reversing light help and would that be road legal?
I'm going to give the veg oil a go! I have read most of the posts on here (hours worth) am I right in understanding that you no longer have to register?
The next thing after the above is done is to raise the body, suspension lift, winch on front and get it muddy/er. I'm looking forward to a bit of green laning and seeing what setup others have put on there Surfs.
All I want now is the snow down here!
