Start double clutching???

Maybe it's time to give the girlfriend an oil change...

OK too fast...

Buy one that does not need to be places in mummy's car afterwards?

50 milligrams???? Come on! That would be an alcohol weight percentage of 20% - alcohol being lighter than water and blood being heavier??? If you /do/ have that much alcohol in your blood I think your wife has been visiting a taxidermist and that you're dead. :-) :-)

Ratios are the number of turns on the input side resulting in the number of turns on the output side.
Front and rear diffs should have the same ratio (given the same wheel size)

Could also be the driveshafts... How much play on the CV joints there? Needed to replace them once and before doing so made the steering very wobbly.
-
I still wonder why one of the leads was so badly corroded... Yes the solution might be new dizzy cap and leads etcetera but why is one of the leads so bad?

Probably not. Probably he will be pestered by the SO to the extent he removes the buzzer/horn/whatshamacallit and sigh every two days about a battery being flat...

Wifey still inside??? <gdr&lh/>

BLECH!

My first action would be to check if the ventilation system is dry. Condensation is a matter of humid warm air touching a cold surface so the challenge is to use dry air instead of humid air - especially in the first part of the voyage. After a while there is a slight chance that your windows are warm enough not to fog over... on the other hand... it's a 110. Does it actually have heating... :-)
I'd say: think DRY not HOT.

A couple of old knickers from the missus? Or pantyhose?
-
I'm not an expert but I think it is to make the fan ore silent or to make it more efficient (can you imagine that this thing runs clockwise and that the long impellers are sucking in the air which in turn is pushed inward extra by the short ones?) That would be a logical explanation for me but again I am not an expert in this.

Totally a candidate for the Darwin Award I say... Not to mention the incredible stupidity of the person trying to pull the other out. What was he thinking...

Take an ample piece of garden hose and enough containers to hold the fuel you are going to take out.
Put the garden hose in the tank until it lies on the bottom, then suck on the other end to start syphoning the fuel out of the tank. Be careful not to get a mouthful of the stuff :-)
If the container is full just stop syphoning by closing the hose by bending it or pressing on it. This way you also can move around the end of the hose without the fuel going back in the tank.
Continue until most if nog all of the fuel is out of the tank, top off with diesel oil, then start motor.
If you don't want to syphon it off the classic way, go to a garage and get yourself an electric pump to get fuel out of a tank.

Legalese aside you will probably inflict a lot of damage if you hit a soft target with that. So from that point of view I would indeed make sure it is well inside the bumper taking into account any deformation in said bumper. If possible I would make the thing removable...
-
yes well they may be very similar however history has it that the stresses from the newer design warranted strengthening the block so even if you could build it up with 300Tdi parts it probably won't last long.

red blue yellow black black black yellow green also.

Very nice. Let's just say that this Lego aficionado might be an LR-lover too...
-
No cure but merely food for thought, if that particular one is corroding so quickly is it possible that there exists a galvanic current running even when the engine is turned off?

utoob vid is shot on Terschelling, one of the Wadden Islands in the North of The Netherlands. I very much doubt that that was legal.

Tall enough to support at the chassis if I need to as well
.What are they? 6 ton a pair and max height 600 mm?
-
Yes call me an idiot I know diddly about cars and am going to do a rebuild of sorts and the first thing necessary is axle stands.,
So. What rating and what minimum and maximum height should I get?

Converting to 24v

AFAIK 24V gear is harder to come by and more expensive since the majority of cars is built on 12V.
