Hi Steve
i’ve got a ranger 3.2 auto coming on demo next week and was just wondering have you still got yours and if so how has it performed over the time

I hope nobody gets ripped off , somebody was enquiring about £2,000 worth of parts
I think he's back trading as 'everything Land Rover' , there's an Edward Barrington just advertised breaking a 130 puma 2008 on a Facebook group , when you look in his profile he's got pics of a p38 signwritten 'No Fear 4x4 Breakers'
Seems to much like a coincidence to me , especially with the same first name .
I bought one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Dixon-Bate-100MM-Towbar-Towball-Adjustable-Slider-Plate-202092-/221598006662?hash=item3398453d86:g:iKMAAOSwLa9UXJn6
You have to adjust/modify the hole centres a little to bolt to the NAS step
I've got a speedglas and a Miller , the speedglas is brilliant , the Miller is not as good for mig , but supposed to be better for tig ( I can't tig , so can't answer that )
Would recommend a speedglas
@ Mike ,o.k thanks for that
@ Steve , just read you thread , you've done a really tidy job with great attention to detail , only wish I'd read it before ordering my tubular wings , yours is by far the tidiest solution to get tubular wings whilst keeping the standard shape
Thanks
Gary
I've just started fitting the panels on a Whitbread tubular wing kit (standard wing shape) and come to fit the original wheel spats and they don't seem to be a brilliant fit ...... Not far away .
So has anyone on here fitting they're original spats back on and what did they fit like ?
Just checking before i force mine on ....
Also what have people done with heater intake , as I can't get the plastic duct to fit in ????
Thanks in advance
Gary
I'd change the complete tensioner if I were you , there's a thin plastic type washer ( black in colour) which wears , sometimes you'll see it poking out .
I'm with Lewis , this has gone straight over my head the worst thing is I could really do with one of these (I'm a steel fabricator)
I could manage the assembly bit , it's the computer/controller wizardry that got me beat
When you use t wash/mordant solution the Galv will go black , you then rinse it off with water , once dried I suppose you would treat it like a normal(ungalved) piece of steel
It's a bit of a fiddle to do , I removed the hockey stick which helps access , I thought the worst bit to do was the piece on top of the chassis .
I had a 4 1/2" and 9" grinder , just go steady and remove it in pieces
Hth
Try some of your local steel fabricators , small firms will be the best , they'll probably change a bottle for cash . The only problem might be that boc bottles are bar coded (I've read it somewhere ????)
I change air products bottles for a couple of people
If I were you I'd get a piece of 50x50 box section drilled at the same centres/hole size as your bulkhead outriggers and then bolt it to the bulkhead and send it for galvanising
