Thoughts and Musings on the Ineos Grenadier
L19MUD replied to Bowie69's topic in The New Ineos Grenadier
https://www.carscoops.com/2024/04/chelsea-truck-company-cheats-on-defenders-with-new-ineos-grenadier-project/ I actually really like the look of this with those wheels. I am sure the further exterior 'enhancements' planned will be awful though! -
No the house is already there but the barns that originally went with it were all unfortunately sold off long ago for barn conversions. I have got planning going in this week to build a workshop, yard and driveway on the field to the left of the house. I have a Hitachi 17u-2 but it would take me forever to complete it with that. Hence the 'essential' purchase of a 3CX from the house fund

OT - Good quality file - Saw bench sharpening
L19MUD replied to L19MUD's topic in International Forum
I could be being very dense here...but they look to take off only a tiny amount of material as they are practically smooth? The issue is you need to take a reasonable amount off in places if the saw has hit a nail. They look more like the bitchers knife sharpeners which straighten out the end of the blade as opposed to taking much material out of the knife? I will take a picture of the blade and the teeth. They are probably 2.5cm high Once it is sharpened up it will buzz through 8 by 8 inch timber no problem -

Never heard of this, I think it will be too hard for this option -

I have a cordwood saw for the back of one of the tractors with a 30 inch diameter blade. When I have sharpened it previously with a file I managed to get it cutting really well. Once it dulled my old man decided to have a go with an angle grinder which was no where near as precise. I have taken him back out of the equation and want to sharpen it properly. What make/grade of file would people suggest? Its a tedious job (76 teeth) so I want something that cuts well and will last. Picture for attention!

Not Stephen this time and I know not everyone has Facebook but this blokes Facebook profile is well worth a look. Those 5 pictures are all the same car! Not quite a replica of the real thing but a thing of beauty never the less https://www.facebook.com/share/p/KixMeSD2SqPvvzsJ/

I have the gauge where I can see it but ignore it for 99% of the time. The only way I can get to unsafe levels is when towing uphill on a motorway and then obviously dependant on weight and size of the hill. Worth having for that as easy to just back off a fraction and see the drop instantly

Thought this may be of interest to those on this thread - had work done to sort rust and certainly not immaculate. Looks like a useable classic https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1991-range-rover-classic-3-9-csk-1

I managed to find some time to go to the workshop yesterday. I decided to try swapping out the Hazard switch and the flasher relay as quick simple things before I start testing through with the multimeter The answer was the flasher relay. Once changed everything was back to normal and working. I wish I started there!

Fuse 3 has 12v at all times with the ignition on. Am thinking the flasher relay or the hazard light switch should be my next action point?

The plot thickens. I pulled all the big maxi fuses in the engine bay and cleaned those. Disconnected the loom on the footwell of the bulkhead to the rear. Fuse in (turns out I had been checking fuse 16 not 15!) And fuse 15 for left hand sidelights blows so now I know it's front Removed wheel and left wheel arch to disconnect sidelights, indicator and headlight plus a relay from headlight main beam to some spotlights. Cleaned that lot up and put back together and the sidelights now work fine. At some point in the messing about I was getting an indicator light on one side with the hazard lights switch on. Now nothing I do results in any indicators or hazard lights. I have 12v power at fuse 1 with the hazard lights on and no power without
-
Well now it's none of them but was the one for the left hand sidelights
-
Am thinking the common point could actually be the main earth up on the bulkhead and things are finding different earth routes due to that bad earth
