I need a four-wheel rolling road in the Sheffield / South Yorkshire area. Anyone know of one? I've decided that the best way to fix the
101 is stick it on a dyno for an hour and run its nuts off....Tim Hobbs

Tim,
here's a list of all the rolling roads in the UK, but you'll need to dig through them to find 4x4 capable ones
whoops, when I checked that link its a bit different
bear with me

You temptress... :-)
Just called
There are no height or weight restrictions to bother 101 owners, so that's OK. Earliest available date is 22nd August, which is a bit of a bugger and probably kills the idea.
For information he reckoned a whole morning slot would be the way to go, at £68 + vat per hour. So not a cheap option, but if anyone fancies an unofficial Land Rover test morning to get some dyno figures and do a bit of tweaking let me know. I'm certainly up for it once I've got the 101 running right.

They do say quite a bit on their site about Caterhams, so quite possible.
He said 3 tonnes was no bother. I didn't ask him about 38 inch wheels... Not sure about the Detroit, but why would it care or know the difference?

BTW - is my 101 still outside your house? I left the keys with Warren yesterday, but he hasn't called to say how he's doing with it. He was going to try and get out in it yesterday, but I don't want to nag him...

not often I can help, but when I do ;-)

He was inside it for a good couple of hours yesterday, however he collected my GS this morning to get it off for the MOT...
I think he's coming back to do some more twiddling on yours with a chainsaw this afternoon :-)
Presumably the novel hand-throttle arrangement and equally innovative 'open fuel tank' arrangement will not be presented for test?

Former fixed, latter will not be needed when the LPG system is checked over. I didn't want to put any LPG in until the whole installation had been tested - especially given that it's been stood for 2 years. I also want the LPG tank moved as it takes up too much space in the loadbed. Top of the list for me to do is fix the hoodsticks - so I can cover it with the tilt!
