Oh. My. God. I literally cannot wait for the next instalment of "Personal Injuries in the Garage with Jeff" 🤣

1993 Defender 110 Station Wagon
bishbosh replied to Stinkfloyd's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
Cold galvanizing isn't really galvanizing. It is just a zinc rich paint which if you use a good one will help but don't think you'll get anything like the protection and longevity of hot dipped galv. -
There are times to be thrifty and inventive and there are times to be safe. I think I would be paying for delivery, even if only to the field entrance. You can then satiate your inventive need by working out a method to move it across the field, but with a RR and a load of logs I am sure you'll come up with something!

Recommendations for replacement bulkhead parts
bishbosh replied to Junglie's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
Nor me. But there aren't any real benefits either, unless you are expecting your great grandkids to be driving it! A galv bulkhead will outlive everything else on the truck so can't see a strong argument for spending what I expect will be a lot more on stainless. I'd also be interested in what grade stainless they use as stainless steels are not made equal (as you well know!) - you just have to look at my Amazon special "stainless" post box that is quietly rusting outside my house..... -
So you've met @Nonimouse then! 😛

Wow. Not jealous at all! What a fantastic experience that must have been.

My Verniers have dials. Super easy to read but they are perhaps a little more fragile than a simple Vernier scale. (touch wood, not broken one yet!)

Fantastic piece of creative design and fabrication! Ummm, has anyone assessed the gate or gatepost though.... you know.... your reputation does precede you and gravity takes no prisoners!

Bite the bullet and buy a GAP IID tool. L322 ownership is soooo much easier with one! Not cheap, but they are exceptionally good.

Fitting an Ashcroft ATB to my Salisbury axle
bishbosh replied to Peaklander's topic in The Differential & Axle Forum
I think we all know the answer to that question Ian!🤣 -
So tonight was meant to be a quick hour to connect the in tank pump lines up, pop the tank back in place and purge the system, hopefully followed by an engine start. What actually happend was I fought the first (black) connector for 40 mins until I finally got it to seat, then spent the next 50 trying to get the blue one in only to completely muller one of the yellow o rings that should sit in the female half of the joint but for some reason had remained on the male part when I disassembled the connection. So I now have a disabled car and have failed completely to find said o ring on the web. Does anyone know a part number or have an old assembly under a bench they could look at please?

My 200TDi auto 90 with a 1.2 also struggled on hills so can understand the OP's problem. As others have said, changing a transfer case is not hard if you have a helper.

3.9 V8 transplant: I think I killed my alternator
bishbosh replied to Phill S's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
Disclaimer - I am definitely not an auto electrician.... ......but on my multimeter that is the continuity test position so would suggest there is a degree of resistance in that circuit? Perhaps? Maybeeeee? (see disclaimer!) -
Tesla rummaging in the Land Rover parts bin

The same rack that snaps off mounting bolts you mean? Hmmm.... That said, interesting read and refreshing for the (apparent) openness. -
I'm not sure 1,100Hp is enough for me, so I'm out.
