Oh yes, I will be putting DPM down. Steve

So after some more accurate measuring, I needed more rubble. Que a 5 minute drive to pick up another 2 trailers worth of bricks! I could now order a bag of MOT and barrow it all down the garden. Many hands make light work! Then I borrowed a whacker plate and compacted it down ready for concreting! I've ordered the ballast and cement which will be here this week and I'm also borrowing a cement mixer! I've made a start on the shuttering for the concrete slab too. I'm also going to be using the concrete slab as the floor of my shed and using the 2 x 4's for part of the roof structure. I'm off for a week at the start of May and so I can start building the shed then! Steve

Yes, granted it's an occasional use item, but you would have comeback if it were not to work in the next 5 years. Eeek, there now £540! Steve

Yes, I liked that mod! It may make an appearance when I get my garage sorted! Steve

Well it's been a year! I consulted a brick layer and got them to build a retaining wall. The breeze block on it's side method was used. I have slowly been filling it with rubble, well neatly stacking bricks in the hole and trying to fit all the big bits together and filling the gaps with the small stuff. This weekend just gone I filled in the top with a bit of ballast and it's about ready to concrete over. To make the level of the concrete the same as the lawn, once it is laid one row of bricks will be showing. Thinking about drainage, I was going to drill a few holes through the exposed row of bricks. I also thought about adding a couple small square drains (like this: https://www.toolstation.com/square-hopper-110mm/p71607?store=LH&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googleshoppingfeed&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAopuvBhBCEiwAm8jaMT3E3sD8rUBwRaieOoOWhTdn9hIDHqePRqUnpeaPAq3JMraDs5zwyRoCOCoQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) in the concrete pour as the rubble/hardcore seems to drain well. The weathers still a bit wet at the moment and so I will move onto the shed design and work out final dimensions and how I'm going to build it. Steve

We are talking about this style of bandsaw: https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/cbs45md-41-2in-x-6in-metal-cutting-ban/ A lot of people have got this style of bandsaw that cuts in the horizontal and vertical positions and so is very handy for all sorts of cutting. There have been a lot of 'improvement' articles on the web, one of which I can't seem to find! I seem to recall @Anderzander asking me to let him know when I find it again, but I never have! Last week this popped up on YouTube and thought it was worth sharing! So I thought people could add to this thread with any tips they have, or any useful articles they have found. Steve

Hi, I did the same on my Racer here: It's meant to be a link to page 10, but not sure if it's directing correctly.....Ah, clicking the very top part works! I did a bit of trial error with a multimeter, to find out what wires did what, but I didn't document unfortunately. It's a good mod, I'm tempted to do it to the 90, but there are loads of other jobs that have priority first! Steve

Could this be what you're looking for? https://www.jgs4x4.co.uk/discovery-2-td5-injector-pipe-o-ring/ https://www.lrdirect.com/stc4509-o-ring Hmm, this link shows a picture and that's not what you require, unless the part number is the same. https://britishlandroverparts.be/o-ring-fuel-regulator-td5-stc4509 I've also seen this too: https://www.pioneer4x4.com/product/fuel-line-kit-for-land-rover-discovery-2-2-1998-2004-td5/ Steve

A cheap set would probably do the job. If however, space is tight with limited arc of movement to undo the nut (Is it injector pipe removal?), you may want to consider the exact size from Snap-On, as the offset from square drive to crows foot flats is different when you flip it over. I found it particularly useful and essential when removing injector pipes on a lion V6! For reference, I already had a cheap set, but bought one 17mm crows foot from Snap-On for circa £17. Steve

I thought that maybe the case. I'll carry on the search. Steve

I've found a set of Michelin truck tyres on Facebook market place: They are X-force tyres 335/80 R20 (12.5/R20). Located in East sussex. These again could be too hard and not pliable enough. Nothing to do we me, just found them on facebook. Steve

No, this is a good thing! More content for the forum!

I think Dangerous Doug is on the case...... Steve

I also have Sealey brand like yours Bowie. It's more sturdy, but also the range of height seems to be better on this design, lower entry and all out better height. Great for Land Rover and normal cars! Steve

I thought this was a call out for people to get things printed! I have something that requires 3D printing, but luckily someone at work has a 3D printer! A cup holder? One of those drill bit stands that stores all your drills in size order. a pen tray for a wall calendar. Steve
