Just taken delivery of a 2012 110 Utility. Oil has been topped up, only needed 1.5 litres or so. The tank is a fairly decent size located under the drivers seat. So, question is - How do I get it going? I've had a look underneath the truck and there is a pump on the LT230 that essential runs to a valve block under the passenger wing and there is also another pump located where the PAS box would be on a LHD vehicle. This pump has a small shaft going under the radiator grille to the winch. There are a couple of button switches on the dash. One says PTO RAM, the other LIFT / DRAG. There is a lever that pulls in and out located by the handbrake. A lever inside by passengers knee. Also controls on the passenger wing. Start the vehicle. Put the handbrake on. Pull the lever by handbrake out. Flick the PTO RAM switch on the dashboard then I've tried it in Neutral on the Hi / Lo and engaging in 1st gear. Neither the lever by passengers knee nor the levers on the wing are operating the winch however they move freely. Pretty sure I'm missing something simple! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance 👍🏻😁

Hello folks, been a while! Has anyone done turbos on a 2019 D5 yet? Got a friend who wants his doing. Figured it'll be a case of dropping front subframe down but thought I'd ask about first. Thanks in advance! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

New workshop - Which floor paint?
Trendkill110 replied to Trendkill110's topic in Tools and Fabrication
Cheers guys. Concrete was poured around 4 weeks ago and I won't be painting it for another 2 weeks. I've had a few units over the years, will 100% be painting it before I move in. Currently on with the toilet block, some wiring etc.... Blanco - Do you have a link to the polyurethane you used? Landroveersforever - I've just seen this stuff in Screwfix catalogue, shall certainly keep it in mind. The plan is to wet the floor, sweep it off and allow to dry for a couple of days then I'll do the edges and 12" up the walls all round and use a couple of sweeping brushes to paint. Thoughts? Thanks again -
Hello folks. After a long wait due to the pandemic I move into my new workshop in 2 weeks! It's just had a new concrete floor poured. It's not power floated. After a decent floor paint / coating to put down before the big move. What do folks recommend? Floor space is roughly 20ft x 60ft. Cheers! 😁

How is the heating element currently fitted to my XS seats? Is it a careful rip off and glue to new foam job? Cheers 😁

2008 Spectre Build

Si - Already spoken to Bowler regarding the arches and they still supply them so waiting now on a price. With this build I'm not bothered about articulation so was thinking of a decent +2" lift with +2" packers under the springs and keeping the anti roll bars / extending the bump stops, brake lines, wide angle props and corrected radius and trailing arms. Out of curiosity with the above setup mentioned, do you have any suggestions? How would you be going about it if you were to take on a project with this desired outcome? Regards Bob 👍🏻 -
