So if your fuse is inside the vehicle and the wire passes through the bulkhead down to the battery and shorts to ground at the bulkhead, how is the fuse which is up stream of the short and the battery and there fore not in the circuit, going to stop the bit of wire from the short down to the battery from melting and possibly catching fire or damaging the rest of your wiring?
Fuse close as possible to the battery is very good practice.

1st with no cambelt fitted, yes you would have to turn the cam sprocket to adjust the valve gaps.
Secondly I would guess that you have a stuck (closed) valve which has caused the bent pushrod. although I am supprised that this did not show up when setting the valve gaps.

Are you 100% sure that the springs on the front are ment to be on the front (i.e there not the rears are they) swapping them from front to rear may solve part of your problem.
Pete.
Just to confirm as Mike has dropped out, I and SWMBO will still be attending and will be camping, but it will only be saturday night not both nights.
Pete.
Nige,
I would say that yes, rough country are the softest (I believe they are valved the same as a standard landrover shock) then the pro-comps and the N73 are then the stiffest. I say this having had all three types fitted at some point to my Discovery all using the same springs so the only variable was the shocks.
Nice of some one to lend you a set of N73 .
Have fun testing tomorrow,
Pete.
I believe There are Four ratio's of LT230 transfer box.
1.6:1 which I believe was fitted to early 110's
1.4:1 fitted to most 90/110/defenders
1.2:1 fitted to most Discoverys and Range Rovers
1.001:1 fitted to some three speed Range Rovers
all the low ratio's are the same. The lower the number the higher the speed for a given RPM.
Pete.
I suspect you have a 1.6:1 box, where as a 1.4:1 box might be more suitable.
