why would you say that Jim I have one in my 88 and have no probs with it

not sure when it was built, thought it was only 4 ish years ago how would you proove when a hybrid was built, I've had mine approx 5yrs and the owner before me had it for about the same sort of time so if it was built b4 99 would mine b ok ?

thanks for the info will give the repeater light a go for now (as i have a spare) might see if i can get a different bulb for it at sometime Nick

ta will get it wired up this eve just to make sure am i wiring up 1 side of the bulb to the ignition then the othe side to the alt ?

just out of interest did the 100" hybrid that 4x4 is born built get sva'd ?

If your not insured because you havent got an sva, why does'nt an insurance company ask for an sva certificate when you insure a modified mota ? theres probably thousands of motas out there un-insured due to not being sva'd i.e hybrids bobtails traybacks

Got mine from LR main dealer think it was 4 quid

Cheers guys can i just wire in one of those side repeater style lights then currently theres no batt light fitted

Morning all Having a few charging probs on my lightweight, Ever since its been re-wired the alt has only ever had 1 big (32mm) wire direct back to the batt via a cut out never had a prob with winching starting etc til recently where the batt completely dies, Speaking to someone yesterday and they recon I should have an extra wire going into the alt from somewhere like the ignition can anyone else confirm this ? if so why has it been working fine uptil now (brush pack has been replaced and a 2nd alternator has been tried but still having same prob) cheers Nick

Anyone know if a 90 or series speedo will fit onto a disco speedo cable (200tdi) cheers

have u removed the inside tunnel its easier to hit from inside with a lump of wood make sure u have all 8 bolts removed

The vehicle's safety defects included: a fuel leak, fouling of the tyres on the bodywork and suspension arms, a kinked exhaust that was resting on the rear axle, the battery secured by elasticated cord, an incorrect seatbelt mounting and gaps between the windscreen and dashboard allowing any fumes into the drivers cab. would of thought they'd of fixed these before handing the mota back to the owner.

near to where a left hooker power steering box would bolt on i fink

there not gonna be big enough to undo oil filters

so after all that would I be best to use bzp bolt as a drain plug on an 8274 casing ? or a standard bolt and cover it in yellow gunk

any tips on cleaning up an 8274 would it be best to just use hot soapy water to get all the mud and cr@p off the casing etc b4 i fitted new brakes seals and mota ? cheers Nick

Just type in lr4x4 in the search box it then brings up a link to the forum

mine has started to smoke (white) til its warmed up just put it down to the cold air

Cheers David will give it a good 2nite Thanks for your help

yer i did think about that but i had already cut the stud down and the shocks already bottum out, might just go for harder bushes for now or atleast til the shocks die

Cheers looks astho i need to change my shocks to an eye type and buy the pivot mounts have already tried cutting a bit off but the actual bend looks like its at the top of studd, makes sense about having the mount as far out as poss as the spring comes towards the shock on full droop thanks for the info (took me blooming ages to get the nut undone cos it was bent)

Does anyone else have problems with the stud on the bottom of the front shocks (es9000) bending, can only guess that it's from having too much travel, any suggestions on different mountings ? cheers
