if they are galv then i would say 20% is cheap as galv went 35% just before xmas. Daz

Sorry but the only thing you may need to do a few tubes is a lot of belts, unless you v the tube first. outherwise a nice job. By v ing the tube you reduce the material the belt sander needs to remove. I have a bird mouth tool at work and it used on a 40 ton flywheel press, it makes mince meat of scaffold tubing. Another way to do this type of job is with a milling machine and a large cutter. Daz

Correct, but if you are like me then buy a couple of items a year and get the more expensive items when your invite arrives. my 50 ltr compresser, air tools, part washer, bench driller etc were a lot cheaper when i got them. i must have saved over 400 notes doing it this way Daz

we use edward howell (willenhall) and i was quoited for my 90 chassis would be 125 notes all in as long as i grilled the drainage points. Daz

I have general grabber at2 on my disco 2, They were on my brothers disco 2 and he did 40,000 miles on them and they are still less than half worn. Daz

i can have as much ali plate as i like from work (can use the trumph and brakepress anytime). the thing i would not do is use it to cover up any rot. My next couple of plates to cut and bend are for covers for my 2 gas tanks. i may even make a petrol tank and sump guard. Daz just for the record i made my light bar and the lights came from work when we had new emergency lights installed.. result

apart from looking good its does a good job at keeping the dents out of my wingtops and bonnet when i walk on them. i made mine myself at work using 3mm plate from out of offcuts so cost to me was labour only Daz

i had to buy a new switch for my 90 to pass the mot (old one fell apart) no light in switch but then i have a warming lamp in the dash. Take it back, if that fails then contact your local vosa. Daz

some can be changed but you will find it cheaper to replace the helmet then just the lens. boc sometimes do adjustable shade helmets for 50 notes. i hope you did not pay more for yours. then again you can pay 500 notes for one (like the air filtered one i use at work). Daz

if its got a dial then its adjustable if not then its a shade 3 (normal then self adjusting to 11 when welding). 11 is to dark for some people (i like to weld using shade 9). Daz

ok lads we have all done a quick fab job to get us out of the s**t and if it works just the once then its been worth it, it it works twice then the jobs a good one. Tiger Well done, you tried and it worked and you have the right to be happy. I must wonder how many tools the rest of us must have made to do the odd job or bodge, i hold my hand up. Darryl

why the spanner? Darryl

yes they do. On mine both wires are joined together and go stright to the coil. darryl

I drive our disco at 70 on the clock and no more. With caravan we do 60 All filers are changed every 6 months (service kit i get for 21 notes all in). winns fuel cleaner. other than that nothing Daz Have you had it checked for over fueling?

our 2001 disco td5 will do 550- 600 miles on a tank With our caravan in tow (using cruise controle) we have had up to 32 Around town anything from 20 to 25 can get 670 out of a tank before the light comes on ( no caravan and mixed roads) standard td5 with no engine modes. just well looked after Darryl ps dont ask about my 2.3 90 i think in its former life its like to drink..lol

Why use a gas cylinder when you can get a couple of air tanks from a hgv/psv breakers for 20 notes. The air tanks on these vehicles have the pressure releif valve built in and all you need is some piping for connection. I have one in my 90 and i use the other one i have as a tyre inflater when i have to check swmbo tyres . i can recharge my 90 tank from my car inflater/ garage inflater or from my home compressor.
