Haha. That Miserable old git chap hasnt been on here for some time!

What sort of price can you pick them up for? One of these would do all I want on my land....

Same with the tribute to the three chaps who were stabbed outside the pub they drank in - couple of masks, no distancing at all. Its adly the same with the riots that have been all over the news for the last two weeks. It will be telling if we see a higher infection rate as a result. People are moving on but the virus is still there.

No one was being cocky - all I read here was a greater level of caution from those posting. I think Fridge has summed it up really.... 1m distancing hasnt suddenly become safe overnight and that wasnt the message given, but it is the message that most people will have heard... People will gradually slip back to 'normal' as thats how they will interpet what the government have said today... that is, until an inevitable second wave hits. Look at Germany...

I think I paid about £158 a tyre for BFG AT's earlier this year (fitted)

They could do a series of cards for as the relationship evolves.... The last one - ‘Our love is like a Land Rover..... broken’

I have never quite understood what the sprag clutch does in there VB. Can you shed any light on it? We changed the one in Neils when his was slipping but it made no difference (that was after changing the clutch cone and that making no difference too!)

That wouldnt explain why it drives ok in forward gears?

That's partly what I was wondering. Do you agree that looks too turbulent with air mixed in the clear pipe Snagger?

Thats what I would try.

Yep. That's what I would do. Knowing how mine runs without a lift pump (very well) I would try from can to filter first. If it runs fine like that you rule out the connections from the filter and the pump

Well, it kind of looks like it to me. My electric lift pump has a clear bowl on it like a sedimentor and it looks nothing like that - it just smoothly pulls fuel in and pushes it on to the filter head. It doesnt look turbulent like your pipes show.

Not necessarily but if you do you would see air in it if its there. I am wondering if its sucking air from the supply pipe from the tank or even through the lift pump diaphragm (although with the latter I would think you would notice that as an external leak). Mine will run and drive (and drive well) without the lift pump at all so it should behave fine even bypassed.

Maybe try it with a pipe from a can of diesel to the lit pump and see what it does, then again from the can straight to the filter (run the output from the lift pump into the can or diesel will go everywhere!). It rules out the pipe from the tank and then the lift pump itself then

BFG AT's for me. I have run two sets now over about 220,000 miles on the 110. I don't even look for anything else these days, just look around for the best prices on the BFG's. The last pair I changed had done 110,000 miles and were still legal - one had a puncture and since I was considering changing them, I did it at that stage, but otherwise they would have been done at the end of this summer. Excellent performance on road and off, great in the snow and ice, I have no trouble at all on the wet and consider them a very capable tyre. Perhaps the wet performance for me is better than some say because I run at what sounds like low pressures on the front (28psi), the rear is a more normal pressure at 36psi unladen and 48 psi if I am towing or laden (and higher if the trailer is heavy).

It makes sense its just everyone does it the other way normally - upgrading the later gearboxes onto a older tdi rather than a later engine onto an LT77

I thought he sounded like he grounded it a few times early on. The majority of the track didnt look that challenging. Nice to see proper tyres on one though

If an R380 can fit a Tdi then doesnt that mean an LT77 will fit a TD5? You may just need to alter the position of the engine mounts?

Fascinating place. Massive country. Lovely and very welcoming people. They love Vodka and love it more if you enjoy gallons of it with them (one night I thought I was a dead man becaue of the amount we drank whilst toasting various people!)! Huge Soviet influences which still run deep today

It was an odd feeling. We were off road a lot - Monglia only seems to have two roads - the big one from north to south and the big one from east to west... So from the capital we always travelled a while on tarmac and then a lot more just across the plains and steppes. These land cruisers didnt really notice the difference between beng on tarmac and not.....

You wont see a land rover in Mongolia - when I was out there, it was all massive V8 Land Cruisers....

It was Cornish Mutual for me but as the name suggests you need to be in the southwest (I think they cover Devon and Cornwall only maybe a few more counties but only in the South west). With NFU, make sure you are speaking to your local office and not the central call centre. Staff in the local offices are much more helpful and flexible. My last experience with them was my local office but had I been bothered enough to talk to the girls supervisor I might have got a better response.

Thats kind of why I got a poverty spec D3 without a screen. It doesnt rely on it but its so outdated its virtually useless and would anonoy me if it did fail.

As Mo says they don't pump on the lever unless the cam that drives it isn't holding the arm up. I don't think its the lift pump. I have ditched the mechanical one and fitted electric and i can forget to turn it on and the 110 will happily be chugging away at 70. Was your fuel filter brimmed full when you checked it earlier? If yes it suggests the lift pump is fine.

You were luck Pat! I phoned up NFU and got someone on the phone who listened to the fact i had got a cheaper quote and just said she would cancel my renewal. Been with them for about 15 years - this was my local office too. My other quote was so good i couldnt be bothered to waste more time on the phone!
