Totally agree.

We are all saying the same thing.
Interestingly the decent Evri drive we have - works hard but makes the time to take care and have a word … and as a result when he fell and broke his leg recently, and everyone found out his contract meant he didn’t get paid if he wasn’t working, someone set a crowdfund and raised enough money to tide him over until his leg got better.
Hidden benefits to taking care and smiling at people.

We have two - a small rod one and a large one - both Khyam. Good tents and every now and then they have a sale with good reductions.
The big thing for us was getting one tall enough to stand in. If it’s chucking it down and you’ve to crawl in and take off your wet gear … it gets old really really quickly. Having somewhere to step in, out the weather, and dump your wet boots and jackets etc makes an enormous difference.

highly dependant on the local drivers
I think that’s it for all of them isn’t it.
For example: Yodel or Evri were always awful for everything in my experience - but they got a great driver round here for smaller parcels, and for the last few years it’s been brilliant.
Whereas the Evri large parcel people lost an £800 tent - marking it as delivered, at a GPS located address 70 miles away, with a picture of a garden chair box as proof of delivery.
They then did almost the same with the replacement tent sent by the company they’d lost it for and we’d bought from. They marked it as delivered to us, with a picture of a completely different parcel outside a house we didn’t recognise.
The company refunded us, but they lost £1600 worth of stuff and a customer - and the courier had zero interest in even listening to what had happened.
The tent company depressingly said ‘happens a lot and with all the carriers’.
Seems like theft to me.

Good epoxy is good … but if you want more perhaps one of the dinitrol products would offer it more protection, have a nice finish, and be something you could top up.
I used the 4941 on my 90 and that’s been good. Remains semi soft so doesn’t chip - and is just requiring top up after 2 years in a couple of places where I steam clean it.

Instagram and Facebook are full of adverts for different clamping types of grease couplings … has anyone tried any of those?
I have an air powered gun and a few hand actuated ones - they are all either rubbish or I don’t know how to use them.
-
On the covers - @JeffR the ones near me are made by Shelter Logic.
They look quite temporary- but I’m assuming they must be reasonable quality as the owner has put some quite posh cars in there?

I never got it to work on my Mac - if you figure it out, please do let me know.

Well, if you can do work like that upside down left handed in bad weather I've no sympathy 😉😉. Looks great
Exactly what I thought ! 😂
I mean … come on !! Lol

I hadn’t realised that.
Gwyn Lewis’ site says this for his bushing kit:
QuoteFits:- All Defender 90, 110, 130 Panhard Rods, Late TD5 and PUMA (M16 Bolts)
**Note** This bush Kit is to fit all later Straight Panhard Rods that are fitted using M16 Bolts. Earlier TD5s have a Bent Panhard Rod fitted with M14 Bolts. The cross over year is around 2002.
If you have an earlier TD5 with Bent Panhard Rod you will need Part Number SFP0194K.
(Later Left Hand Drive have Bent Panhard Rods but uses the M16 fixing Bolts) -
Yours just looks to have been cut off …

The chassis jacking points under the bumper usually just have blanking plugs in them ….
-
Yes I have a set of those for mine - but I swapped to the later type nuts with having later wheels. The stud holes on later wheels are a little larger. Those double sided nuts are long but very narrow.

Thanks for sharing - looks fabulous!

This part was childs play. The unit only requires 3 wires. 12V, Ground and the ECU K-Line. This is pin 7 on the OBD2 port (pink wire)
All I did was tin a 5A rated wire, which made it the right diameter and rigid enough to just put it in the end of the plug. I intend to print a cover cap to go over the end of the port to clamp the wire in place. I could splice this in, but the OBD2 connector doesnt have enough slack on the cables, so I would have to remove the center console. Not worth the effort. This way it’s also easily removeable if it has to go in to a garage.
I don’t quite follow your wiring - did you move the obd port up behind the dash? Or just put your wire in and run that up into the dash ?
I was wondering if it was possible to interrupt it at the header between the ECU(s) and the port. Mine doesn’t have ABS - so I’m thinking there should be an empty a lot in that header.

@Anderzander you can get a fixed drawbar and PTO for the series 1
Oooo - like this :
never seen one of those
-
Ahh - apparently it is still VdO

I ordered VDO which I’ve had good experience of … however it’s just been delivered and it’s not a VDO …..

Thank you for this Steve - you’ve fixed it.
I did consider and (erroneously) disregard the AFM at the start of the issue. I’ve only ever had them just completely fail though, i.e go to zero reading - and whenever I plugged in the nanocom I was getting numbers in the right range.
I wasn’t able to notice the intermittent issues in the pattern of the numbers - and I didn’t go back to it as it got worse (where I might have done).
It’s so helpful to have fresh eyes to remove your own blind spots 🙏🏻
So it’s driving nicely with it unplugged - and I’ve a new one arriving in the post today.
Thank you again

I have pondered that - but the implements aren’t there to work on a normal tow ball with a pto …
I know you’d just scratch build a three point linkage ! That’s way beyond me though 😍
there are tow behind flail mowers (made for quads) and even mini forage/balers - but they aren’t cheap ….
-
Oh yes - for an ornament/toy I don’t think you can beat a Grey Fergie or an MF35.
For working the MF135 is an absolute classic. My farmer friends call it things like ‘the hardest tractor ever made’ 😊
There was an MF 35 model that had a dual clutch too - think it was called the MF35X
-
This is torture - I can’t tell you how much I’d like to buy a tractor 😊
I have land that needs cutting and baling, and I love old tractors, but the land is not with the house - so I’ve nowhere to put a tractor and implements, and don’t really want to just leave them out in the open.
So at the moment a contractor is cutting it in exchange for the bales.
