How to leave the group

It's a great group but I sold my Nomad 6 months ago and so do not use anymore. I asked for the renewal to be cancelled but a new payment has been debited from my account.

What is the process to stop renewals and leave the group?

Thanks

Wanted - Ariel Nomad

I'm an ex-owner who sold through CC.

A friend showed an interest in mine a little too late but is still in the market. Does anyone have a Nomad they're thinking of selling? He is fairly flexible with spec etc.

Thanks

Nomad on Collecting Cars

As a disclaimer, I have no connection to Collecting Cars or this particular car.

Just thought I'd share the price this Nomad is attracting. It's currently at £58k, which will be £62k with commission. Seems high for a non S/C.

Price of used Nomad for sale from factory

A friend pointed me to Ariel's website and a used 2017 Nomad 235 with 150 miles for £47,000. This is £12k cheaper than the 300 listed below. I'm a current owner and not in the market for another, but I am shocked by this price, especially from the factory. I would have assumed this would be priced a...

Re: Suspension rebound following wheel size change

15” with 75 geolanders and then to 18” with 40. I calculate this to be both at around 21” diameter.

Suspension rebound following wheel size change

I have changed wheels from 15” to 18” in an attempt to improve grip and reduce lean. I am hugely surprised by the immediate change and now curious. Stationary and pushing down the front winch bar, the car used to dip significantly (felt like 50cm). Now the car won’t dip at all. I’ve only changed the...

Re: Wheel size change - Adjusting speedo

Thanks for the replies. I finally got around to re-setting the speedo (after another trip out wondering why Sunday drivers were racing past me at 75mph! I suspect I was doing circa 60...whoops) So a revolution of the wheel is 2 metres. According to the DASH manual it’s 1609/revolution in meters. I a...

Wheel size change - Adjusting speedo

Hi

I've switched the Nomad from the 15" off-road wheels to factory 18" with Yokohama A052s. This has reduced the complete wheel size and as such the speedo is over-reading.

Is there a way to re-calibrate the dash for different wheel sizes?

Many thanks

Wanted - Nomad 18" alloys

Hi

I'm looking for a replacement set of alloys for my Nomad. Currently on orange 15" and I'd like to find some neutral coloured (ideally black ) 18" alloys with or without tyres.

Many thanks

Re: Question on suspension set up

Thanks for the replies. Am I right in thinking that the low speed adjust is just the screw though? The silver bolt behind has LSC printed on it but not sure if it refers to the screw or actual bolt (hope that makes some sense!). If it's the screw, do you know an approximate number of degrees for eac...

Re: Question on suspension set up

Made a start on adjusting the low speed compression this morning but didn't get too far. I've read comments about adjusting by x number of "clicks". I was surprised that the screw made no noticeable click and is free-flowing tight and loose. Is there a reference about how many degrees I sh...
