  • private off road legal ?

    hello, a friend of mine is master of some hektar land. now I wanted to ask if it is legal to drive there with an old off-road vehicle WITHOUT Tüv and WITHOUT insurance. Tüv never gets the car again and therefore also an insurance does not bring anything. My question arises because I have heard that this private country must be fenced off, otherwise it would count as black driving. Can you please help me with this problem? TIA Jan

  • G-model or ranger rover Discovery 3

    Hello! I liked to buy one of the two! either G-Model 270 cdi or the ranger rover Discovery 3 HSE I’m both already tested the g-model seems a bit too loud! but I was convinced by the G-model with regard to stablelita. the Discovery 3 seemed quite ok to me from the price-performance ratio! but I don’t know ranger rover so well.

  • Loss of cooling water

    Hi, I notice with my XJ that after a few weeks it lost or consumed about 2-3 liters of cooling liquid. In addition, the cooling water is rust-colored. When I bought the car, I noticed that the whole engine was covered with this dried rust paint, but it could be washed off well. A mechanic said that water might be squeezed out at some clamp and distributed on the engine at wind. Since I have the XJ and drive (half of a J ahr) but this rust-colored dust has no longer settled on the engine, but he apparently loses water anyway. He does not smoke white or otherwise out of the exhaust, engine runs top. I looked yesterday, after filling up water two weeks ago the stand is still ok, the water temperature was just below 100 degrees, is still normal or? Does anyone know what that could be? Why is the water rusty and why does it consume cooling water from time to time??

  • Transporter with four wheel

    Servus Forum, I would like a mobile home with four-wheel drive in self-assembly. I don’t care whether it’s a box car or chassis with a suitcase. Furthermore, the part should stay below 3.5 tons and create 120KM/H. I remembered these vehicles: – Iglhautumbauen von VW/ Benz – Sprinter series all-wheeler – VW T4 (bitsl small) – Eurotransporter with all-wheeler The GAZelle does not reach the desired cruising speed, otherwise I don’t get any vehicles that meet my requirements. anke for your help!

  • re: weight taxation – judgment financial court düsseldorf

    Hello together! I just stumbled over this current article on mirror-online: Judgment Finanzgericht Düsseldorf Quote: “…In the concrete case the owner of a Land Rover Defender had fought back against the higher tax. The judges granted him the suspension of the execution of the higher tax ruling. Also before other financial courts in the past owners of heavy-weight SUV had resisted. The last word now has the Bundesfinanzhof. Until a decree idung can object to their tax rulings to be able to benefit from a positive outcome of the procedure…” maybe this info will help one or the other here in the forum. gruss linus71

  • Beginner’s question : Suzi or Lada?

    Hello to the round, I (we) would like to catch the off-road air. As in the other topic already written, however, the routes in Schleswig Holstein are extremely limited. Now my question: We want to spend really little money at the beginning. We thought about 3,000,- Euro for the car. If I look like this, I find the league almost only Niva and Suzuki. Where would your recommendations go?? Please no tips according to the motto, save a little bit and get something right away. reasonable… 🙂 Here’s my key data: 1.) The car is used exclusively for the terrain. 2.) I don’t need any extras, just for the terrain. 3.) I don’t care about the optics of the car. 4.) Gasoline or diesel is not important for the few kilometers in the terrain. Thank you in advance Filou

  • Hummer H2 – Geiger conversion for a U.S. sheriff

    Here are a few facts: – V8 (enlarged to ~7000 ccm / compressor) – 700 hp (@5500 u/min) – 904 Nm (@4260 u/min) -Four-speed automatic -empty weight: 3.1 t – 0-100 in 6.5 sec. – Top speed: 250 km/h (regulated) Tyres: 28″ rims with 325 tyres Suspension: Lowering by 105mm, firmer dampers Pictures and information available here: Yahoo What do you think of such extreme conversions? To one, of course, under the aspect of high fuel prices/oil shortages. Is it not a huge waste of money that the local community could have planned more meaningfully? Is it now hoped that all criminals will surrender voluntarily to avoid a chase? Have fun! dc
