Lost count now of how many nuts, bolts and hose clips i've undone and tightend up now with refitting the engine back in must be well over 100 on the same first charged 2.0 amp battery and it now on 2 battery lights and i've not used the 6.0 amp battery yet and i am well pleased with it 😁😁

Nice one cheer's Stephen 😉😀

Hi guys Can anyone tell me what the Torque wrench setting is for a late S2a / S3 88" std wheels nuts please 🙂

62 x M10/M13 bolts and 13 x hose clips and its just gone to 2 battery lights on the 2.0 amp battery, later in the week i will start putting everything back together so will see if i can get it all back together before the battery goes completly flat if not i've got the 6.0 battery to go at but would be good if i don't but will see 😉

Yeah i used mine for the first time and was really impressed with it using the 2.0 amp battery i undid 30 bolts mainly from the 200tdi timing cover and removing the rad and front panel as well as about 8 hose clips and its still on 3 battery lights oh and that was on the secon'd speed as well 😁

Yeah i will just have to see as its main use will be for light work like body panels, timing cover's and cases then after that i will get my air wrench out 😄

👍

You need to get your prioreties together, extend back of house make living room into a garage sorted 😂

Forgot to say i gave it a go on one of the 2a's wheel nuts using the 2.0 battery first speed it wouldn't budge it but did on the second speed i then tried it on my engine hoist caster bolts and again on first speed it wouldn't move it but second speed it did so looks like first speed will only do really small and loosly tightend bolts / nuts but i'm doing some work on the landy at weekend so will give it a good test then 😁

And again with 6.0 amp battery

And here it is fitted with the 2.0 amp battery

It was delivered today so will post pic's tomorrow 😁

Convert my 2a to disc brakes all round and sort out a decent Sankey trailer as my old trailer is getting tired now 😕

I have looked on thier site but it seems to be a full kit for £1,000 plus comes with everything though.

Hi guys Not sure if i've posted this in the right place so if it needs moving i don't mind, Does anyone know of anywhere that makes / sells 300tdi-series engine mounts, mine is a 200tdi in a series with a new galv chassis but thinking of going 300tdi in the future and i know the 2a ones won't fit, cheer's in advance 😄

Yeah true 😉

Sorry forgot to say its an S2a 200tdi 😉

Should be here by weekend so will be able to report back on how it is but tbh i haven't got it for big bolts / nuts as i have a decent powered air wrench for them but the only thing my air wrench struggles with is the 200tdi engine damper bolt which as my torque wrench only goes to 200lbs i have to put plenty of loctite on and the air wrench is just over 1200lbs power but struggles could be the loctite holding it back not sure so for undoing till loose enough to use the air wrench i have to select top gear in 4x4 high hand brake on tight ( disc ) and all wheels chocked and use my 3/4 drive socket set to undo it with using a long tube as well 😎

Yeah i was originally looking at the 1/2" one which has the same power and functions but found out if using the wrench and need to step down to 3/8" drive sockets and using even an impact rated reducer it can snap the reducer but going the other way using a 3/8" wrench with an 1/2" adaptor it doesn't cause a problem other than a slight loss of power.

Cheer's Stephen, i just wanted something to have on the bench that i can get my hands on quick if needed and something i can have in the landy for when i'm out far away and dressed up just incase i get a puncture or something 😉

Hi guys Just treated myself to a new milwaukee 3/8" stubby battery impact wrench, i do have air tools but they are to powerfull for doing light stuff plus they are a bit easier to use if doing stuff on a bench or engine stand but will still use the air tools for more heavier stuff, should be here in a few days 😁

I've had the same problem with mine, when i was building my new galv chassis up on new paras i just ratched the bolts up and found the the springs was very soft and stayed like that till i had finished the rebuild then when it was ready for its MOT i tightened them up with a torque wrench and i found them very hard, someone said try slacken them off and load the landy to normal working load and retighten which i did and are still the same i have the engine out at the moment so once its back in i will slacken them off and ratchet them up again and see what hapens .

Are nice one cheer's Steve😉

Hi guys Is anyone good at old reg plate number area's please mine starts with FYG 😀
