Gav, as I mentioned elsewhere, that is a mean lil beast. Me likes. ;D
Just a question: How did you run the wiring on your front and rear spots?
I also noticed you are part off a "4x4 response" group. Is that like a search-and-recovery group (or other)?

Jaco thanks for the kind comments much appreciated.. Front spot light wiring is run inside the roof bar itsself down the passagner side pillar into the engine bay where there is a seperate realy with its power supply.Il take a picture tommorow of the realy box itselfs..Rear spot light the wiring is run through the rear quarter air vent into the inside upto a switch which is postioned on the dash board again with a realy under the bonnet hopefully that makes some sort of sense.. As for the Response group it is a UK thing.Basically 4x4 drivers helping in there communitys take a peek at this link its the group im with www.yorks-lincs4x4response.orgCheers Gav

T'nx for the descriptions Gav. I eagerly await your pics. ;D The Response group you are with looks much like the guys we use to work with while I was still part of the Gauteng Mountain Search & Rescue ( www.fwdcsa.co.za/rescue.htm ). We only worked with them in training sessions and as I was on the hill tops I never saw them in action (apart form the camping bits with the big bon fires). Seeing that they (ORRU) mostly had Suzuki's and Landy's we might see some Lada's involved there in the near future (hint-hint).

T'nx Gav! Looking good. I might go with bigger Tupperware for the relays. But I'll see how it pans out.

Hi Gavin
I see you are some 4x4 response unit. Probably pulling a lot of Landies from the green lanes ;D

Hi Gavin I am glad to see someone else with a "real" Lada Ronnies lada is too neat and it kinda gives you an inferiority complex. Regards Vincent

That's a bargain. I was almost able to get a set of nags of a old vitara. But found out one is a writeoff. Trying to find one will be like trying to find a Niva without vibrations.
