You did remove the old one, yes?
Yup- was compacted in the groove . New seal in - then 3months failed
order 3 more in case the original was faulty . Q

Lets hope the new seal cures the problem,
just another thought is the outer canister in perfect condition, not bent or dented around the sealing surface.
Well, did check it fr smoothness , it hasn't leaked in years , then started leaking after 3 months after changing the element

is it a later modern style one part filter or the older element that goes in a outer canister,
if the old style filter the seal is 272539
from my 110 2.25 petrol engine parts book
The older paper element inside the cannister . Many thanks mate . Q

Well, the long running ( 16 yrs ) saga of a slack steering effort finally revealed itself ...... Thought it was A ball joints ( replaced every one over those years ) B steering box slack ( tried adjusting it to no avail ) .. C Wheel bearings , trunnion bush . etc etc until , looked at Drop Arm on steering relay welded on - no pinch bolt ! Quite slack at this point . New Arm and pinch bolt , now tight as a drum . Thankgod 😕 ( obvs this got passed by 16 inspections by Vosa in my hands
)

The nice thing with a 3D Printed part though, is if it breaks, a few hours later you have a new one!
Many of the things I've printed have gone through an itterative design - find a problem or weakness, then print a better one!
This is a good example of such - a little reduction box with a BLDC motor in the middle. It needs to be small and very light - and has gone through many iterations. It's still not good enough though!
It powers this, also mostly printed with the addition of Carbon Fibre spars and Foamex board:
An Ornothopter.
Astonishing work , mate - god when I was a kid it was Airfix and rubber bands

I have the BP ones on the 110, they were fitted by the garage i got the truck from.
It is a stiff ride, but i'm not sure if that's them, the shocks ( standard purple ) or the fact it's a USW so has stiffer suspension all round at the rear.
Would love to soften it abit
Try oiling the springs , when I replaced all mine the ride stiffened up after a year . Good blasting with oil n wax and they softened up

I tried one of those years ago and it was utter rubbish. The air was at best tepid and it wouldn’t clear any condensation on the inside of the screen. They may have improved since then, but they’re still untidy and noisy.
yup bit noisy , but using two gets the result . Better than that terrible circular heater

My 'appenny in this is two electric heater fans off ebay 12 quid each , one for each screen . About five minutes in the frosty morning ( with engine running as they suck 300 watts ) and the glass is warm . Turn them upside down to warm yr knees afterwards . K

agree with this, we use wd40 at work (refinery) & its no good, found Rocol Penetrating spray is about the best ive used
id be wary about doing this, ive heated up a brake fitting to release it & ended up blowing the flexi house out the ferrule
Oh my word , I meant just a tiny flame , with appropriate guarding , aluminium body cylinders disipate heat quick, so seals wont cook. As ever , try at yr own risk - but successful for me

I have some experience with these Warn winches, we had one on the front of one of our Mountain Rescue vehicles, I stripped it after the clutch seized solid, on opening it was quite horrific how much water was in the gearbox and how little grease there was in there, the grease was also like wax, pretty unimpressed and not surprised that corrosion had happened, I re-filled it with some of the semi grease you use in superwinch husky gearbox's - at least it "wetted" the gears from time time when it ran.
Have used them a lot in Forestry when they are in daily use , on Defenders, still get gunked up and seized ( woodchip is the worse for them ) not a fan, capstan winch better , with a 16mm rope. K

Well , been over ten years , saved a lot of money on fuel as its a petrol 2 1/4 , however noticing fewer and fewer LPG Shell garages offering it now . Anyone notice or recommend a LPG station near M25 J4 to J21 ? As my works are more over that side of the World now .

This isn't exactly what you want, but Aeon springs are now made by Timbren in the USA.
For spring Specifications see http://timbren.com/aeon-springs/The UK contact is Ride Solutions at http://www.rubber-suspension.com/
I haven't dealt with them for some years.
Regards.
Yes, David is still selling , for the benefit of other users on here , similar price too - unlike what is quoted on Ebay from the US !!

In my quest to expand on the current long distance traveller build of the 110, I toyed with bolting a ambulance body to the back of the 110, even selling it as it is and buying a 130 pulse or mashing together 3 different vehicles to come up with ( queue Guy Martin's voice ) ' A grand idea '.
I went with the mashing of 3 vehicles, namely the 110, a Bedford cf2 camper van and a 110 utility truck special build.
Before I get to that ' Grand idea ' of mine, a little history of where we are now.
The base vehicle is a 2011 110 USW in Buckingham Blue which is a bit blue and a bit dark...so dark blue. It is a XS spec which means something although I’m not sure exactly what that is but the seats cook your arse in the winter and the front screen is heated which if I’m honest, is rather helpful on those cold mornings. It has/had aircon too, which in any vehicle is a stupid idea in my honest opinion...no point keeping yourself cool when you open the car door and its still bloody hot outside...open a window and climatize yourself.
The previous owner was a farrier who had it from new and the rear load bay was sectioned off from the rest of the truck with a hatch built into the side for access to his forge etc. Other than that, it was pretty standard.The build begins
I had to make the area available from behind the front seats to the back door as a living space for 2 adults and 2 dogs ( Old English Sheepdog & Basset Hound ) to include cooking, washing, sleeping and seating.This isn’t easy when you have 1400mm x 1900mm floor space and a head height suitable for a 5 year old. Standard procedures are to have a bench seat down one side and a counter top on the other to include the cooker, sink etc. This leaves a small area along the middle to fit your legs and feet but not a lot of room for the Floof ( the nickname for the Old English Sheepdog ) especially when we’re sat on the bench seat.
I wanted to create as much floor space as possible for the dogs to lie in and for us to be able to sit without them on our laps or getting in the way. It is a lot to ask for in such a small space, but it is possible.
I came up with a stowaway seating option which allows us to pull the seats out when we want them but have them stored away when not in use. They double up as storage box’s all the time. This may sound quite interesting and abit ‘ out there ‘ in design etc, but in all honesty they’re box’s which we sit on. Yes I made them the correct height so we can sit on them without bending our heads on the roof, but they are still a box. Simple.
I made a unit to fit a sink/cooker combo I ‘borrowed’ off a mate, made some units to house my seat ‘ box’s ‘, added some wood as fold down tables, did some electrics including 2nd battery, water pump, amp, sockets, lighting, fitted a webasto heater, chucked some carpet on the units, some on the floor and got it ready for bombing around the UK with a roof tent up top.There’s a divider piece between the front and rear cab which, when the front seats are folded forward, acts as a back rest for the box seating, a small draw which slides out from the original footwell of the rear seats and a host of other bits n bobs which I’ll cover later on.
The build at the moment was a little rushed as we wanted to get it up n running for the summer to use before the ‘ Grand idea ‘ build starts with it which I’ll cover next
So that’s where I’m at now.
Good mod- welcoming wine glass
