The 5.14 means the prop turns 5.14 times to 1 turn of the wheels

As for the LSD if one wheel loses grip it will not transmit drive to the other wheel. like if you get the l/h wheel on some slippy grass and stop it will be difficult to get moving again :D

Without LSD means it has no limited slip differential! In your language it's called "sper cardan"!

If you get stuck that often you must spend a lot of time cleaning it because that's really clean! :D

Nice van. 8)

hdegroot

are you a mini man also?

i`m into minis and plain to import a few later in the year, then main problem - how to get them home. an A-frame is an easy option, but getting 2 back will make more financial sence.

did the mini clear the rear wheel arches, or did you have to lift the mini over them.
jumbos do it standing up....
