@Steven Cook Can you tell us where these tables come from?

@Steven Cook Can you tell us where these tables come from?

I am the Workshop Manager for the dealership in Kenya. Asked nicely and they were produced. Looking at fitting stiffer springs for our African Market vehicles. Have noticed especially the front springs are too soft for our lovely roads.

 

[DCPU]

Brilliant thanks.

So with regard to fitting stiffer springs to your African Market vehicles, are they just shipped to you with the same springs as a European market vehicles - with the determining factors being engine, M1/N1, winch, etc?

Yes they are being shipped as per the build spec. We have not received any N1 vehicles yet

the front springs are too soft for our lovely roads.

current state of the roads in East Sussex would give them a run for their money. We now have upgraded our potholes to sinkholes. Not sure what the ar#eholes do with our road tax.

I can't always visualise numbers in a table, so for anyone else that has this problem:

Front springs appear to be an @increase of 5% between colour codes. With the total difference across the range of @25%

Red from green = +5.56%
Blue from red = +5.26%
Purple from blue = +6.67%
Black from purple = +5.31%

Well it's not a huge data set, but so far we have 5 different combinations of front/rear spring sets. In ascending order of spring rate:

I think you can add Aux Battery to all Trialmasters, at least mine is "YES"

[ADVAW8S]

Yes trialmasters are fitted with an Aux battery.

Yes, but that excludes the ”Philippe factor” on the production line.

Hi DCPU, I can give the details for my Trialmaster which I will get back next week.
Front Green (round) Rear Blue (triangle). Uk, M1 Trialmaster, 5 seats,Diesel, no winch or too bars, yes to side steps and tow bar, 17" steel and BFG.

 

[DCPU]

I'll add it to the table - did Phillipe remember your aux battery?

 

[ADVAW8S]

Was it Friday and did his car not start because of a dead battery?

Yes mate it was me "wot forgot"

 

[jeremy_matrix]

Are you saying they should be higher or lower?

Would think his would be green triangle rears, like;

Logsplitter; N1 UW commercial.
2 seat, petrol, winch, 17" steels w/ BFG KO2s, roof rack, side runner steps, dual battery, tow hitch/pack.
Front: EI-0000019546 (2 green circles)
Rear; EL- 0000019550 (2 green triangles)

So with all of this data, I would hope for a Blue/Blue configuration when my IG arrives.

Mines an N1 diesel. No winch, steps or sliders.
Green on the front
Blue on the back.

Which makes me wonder if it was supposed to have sliders?
