CAR TRANSPORTER TRAILERS

BROCKHOUSE has always been in the forefront of

transporter trailer development, and the majority of vehiclesof this type now on the road are of BROCKHOUSE manu-facture. Operators have confidence in trailer equipment 2with this famous name, because it is always built up to thehighest standard and not jut down to a price.Tihe ROVER COMPANY is using a special unit for carry-ing eight LAND ROVER cars, as illustrated on this page

In this equipment, the leading vehicle has been mountedon a LEYLAND Beaer 12BI chassis, with four-wheeltrailer in tow. Technical details-of considerable interest-are too numerous for inclusion here, but are availableon request, together with advice on designs for otherspecialised requirements.

Only one driver and mate are required, insteadof eight drivers. The vehicles arrive at their destination inshowroom condition, and no washing and cleaning isneeded.

THIS MONTH'S TIPWhen servicing your Land-Rover don't forget tocheck the axle breathers. Even on a vehicle keptreasonably clean these can easily become blocked.and if the ball bearing is not free within the breatherthen pressure can soon build up within the axlecasing, eventually forcing oil out via the oil seals,with the attendant leaks onto brake shoes.

A DRIVER'S COUNTRYSIDE CODE OF CONDUCT

Using vehicles on unsurfaced roads (Green Lanes) is an emotive subject. There are many organisations which would like to seerecreational motor vehicles confined to major surfaced roads. MOLARA believes that all users of the countryside can enjoytheir pastime without upsetting others so long as we all exercise a little care and consideration. This Code of Conduct is intendedto help you gain the most from your recreation and to protect our Future access to the countryside.

I) Use only vehicular rights of way -not all green lanes have vehicular rights.

2) Keep to the defined track. Detour only to pass immovable obstructions. Report any obstructions (including lowbranches) to the highway authority. If the route is not obvious on the ground, ask locally, or check on the maps held atthe highway authority offices.

3) Travel at a quiet and unobtrusive pace. and when travelling in groups keep to a small number.4) Ensure that your vehicle and yourself are fully road legal. Green lanes are subject to the same laws as surfaced roads.

There is no public right to drive on common land, moorland, sand-dunes or beach.5) PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOUR "Ws":

Weather: Do not travel on green roads when they risk being damaged beyond a point of natural recoverywhen the weather improves.

Weight: Do not use lanes which may be seriously damaged by the wheel pressure applied by your vehicle.

Width: Do not use lanes which are too narrow for your vehicle. Avoid damage to trees, hedgerows and boundaries.Winches: Use only when unavoidable, your priority should be to avoid damage to trees, walls or the surface while

recovering.6) Respect the life of the countryside : be courteous to other road users, including walkers and take great care when

passing horses. Be prepared to stop your engine if necessary. Always fasten gates and take care near livestock.7) Remember that wildlife faces many threats and green lanes can be valuable habitats. Take special care in spring and

early summer,

The MOTORING ORGANISATIONS' LAND ACCESS AND RECREATIONAL ASSOCIATION seeks to protect theinterests of responsible vehicle users in the countryside.

MOLARA is always willing to give advice to motor sport and recreation enthusiasts, landowners and local authorities.

RIGHTS OF WAY:You have a legal right to use BYWAYS OPEN TO ALL TRAFFIC (BOAT) and UNCLASSIFIED COUNTY ROADS (UCR). Insome areas there are still rights of way known as ROADS USED AS PUBLIC PATHS (RUPP). Some of these have vehicularrights, some do not. If in doubt, check with the local highway authority or a member organisation of MOLARA. Some vehicularrights of way have been closed by TRAFFIC REGULATION ORDERS (TRO). You must obey the signs at the end of these roads.

* Do not assume that ORDNANCE SURVEY maps give correct information on rights of way.

" Many maps contain out-of-date information, especially as regards to RU PP's.

" OS maps do not indicate which roads are UNCLASSIFIED COUNTY ROADS.

* Do not assume any minor road is open to the public.

* Some highways shown as bridleways and footpaths are actually vehicular rights of way.

* Unless you have proof of this you must not drive on a footpath or bridleway without the landowner's permission.

What would be needed is a fairly advanced computer with agood DTP program. I find a scanner is essential, especiallywith the OCR program (which converts an scanned imageof text into text on the screen which can then be edited).

Also I wouldn't want to do without a IT' monitor now. Thestandard 14" is too small - with the 17r it is possible to havetwo A4 pages side by side on the screen in an easily read-able state.Remember - the Club would help with the provision of bothhardware and software

PhilipBarry. from Lancaster. bought 426 recently from a local Cumbriannewspaper ad. at I Ipm in the dark!
