    What spares do you need. Bearings and seals are easily obtained at a bearing shop. I've bought some uj's from a tractor specialist but haven't had chance to check and fit them but at around £15 I figured worth a go (superwinch want £75 iirc). Mike

    Something's not right there it's a station wagon as you can see the rear side door through the car. Plus some chequer plate is different colours suggesting a wrap in places and real in others. Mind it's still hateful there's far to much chequer plate on mine and the previous owner has only done a few bits. Mike

    You can't put children in side facing seats under a certain age/height in the UK. That age of truck it may not need seatbelts in the back (can't remember the year they became law) though I'm not sure how the law sits on retro fit. Mike

    I probably should have one of those on mine really. Certainly look like that's what it is. I think there's a list in the gen manual. Mike

    Or use a solenoid instead of an isolator that way it's all inside the battery box bar a nice switch with a light on it. Then you could also use the x charge to switch the solenoid as well ie auto or manual split charge and manual jump. Mike

    I believe you need part of the defender stick housing to go with it though. Mike

    And you need to park it in a lake of waxoil to keep it that way. Mike

    All 3 of them... I heard ##itpart do a two year warranty now in an effort to improve their name. I've worked on the theory if it doesn't move or have seals it will probably be ok having said that many moons ago I had a ##itpart stop/tail melt on me they did replace it but I wasn't brave enough the use it.

    Our 90 is an 89 vintage and that came with a flat roof as it is a station wagon. But our 110 is ribbed but you'd be hard pressed to be earlier that that. I like both but wouldn't change one for the other. The 110 could do with a new roof as someone riveted Ali over the alpine lights making it impossible to refit them without a line of rivets round them. Mike

    I had to mod 45's pedal box to fit a disco servo and master cylinder. Mike

    The reservoir on ours is pointing down hill but seems to work no problem. Mike

    Blocked nipple? Get a pin or bit of wire to press the ball in they jam from time to time. Mike

    Atleast he wasn't looking for a way round it like a lot do...... My hat.....why thank you. Mike

    Disco has more ports (200tdi) so you would need to completely Re plumb and change the front calipers. I have done this on 45. Mike

    I have used it on mine with no ill affects. Any grease is better than none. Mike

    Front props are phased differently to rears. Rears are normally in line fronts are one or two splines off in line. You can Re phase them but obviously not if it's to short. If it makes you feel better I had a drum fall off the same way but I ran it over so stop to pick it up. Now I whined the nuts back on as well as the areas. Mike

    The genuine lr manual has better wiring diagrams than the Haynes but they are the same style ie not in one complete diagram. Mike

    Looks like keanol (spelling maybe wrong) I think it was castrol and now discontinued. If it is it's a water resistant grease that was used on boat trailers and in the marine industry. Mike

    Might be worth reading the trailer IVA manual it will A. Help with ideas and B. Technically if you want to use it on the road you will need to pass it I believe. Mike

    I've used a bottle jack and some wood just check which way up you need the jack most jacks only work on there side one way up. Mike

    To be fair if you can't afford a chassis then get it welded and use it for a few more years whilst saving for a chassis. At least that way you get to enjoy it. Mike
  24. miketomcat
    I welded mine up but only because I did it and I can't afford a galv chassis at the moment but a new chassis is on the list for the future. So if it's a keeper and you can afford it do a chassis. Mike

    I believe it's a direct fit but you need to swap the pistons as well. Mike
