stuck

'kin hell! If that is done by hand that guy has skill! Wish I could tig that well!

Doh! Didn't have 12V at the coils AND had crank shaft sensor polarity wrong (nice to see the 4 years I spent as an erlectrical apprentice haven't gone to waste ) Any how she runs! Like a bag of smelly stuff but that's hardly suprising considering I only have the basics connected! Thanks very much Gents Couple of questions: 1) Where can I get a custum set of quality HT leads made and how much? 2) What do the status LED's on the ECU mean? Thanks again, Mick.

Thanks Gents, Work permitting I will have another go tonight. Mick.

Gent's tried to start the truck today in "limp" mode as I need to move it off the drive so I can get a lathe into the workshop, can't get it to start though It's chucking fuel in but not even trying to fire. Looking at Nige's diagram can anybody confirm the edis pin out in relation to A , B , C & D please? For the record I don't have the air temp, coolant temp, O2 sensor or idle valve connected (I've learn't that I have to upgrade a transistor so don't want to risk burning it out), think should at least fire shouldn't it? Only other question I can think of asking is is the crank sensor polarity critical? Sorry for all the questions but I've been on my own today so haven't had anybody to crank the engine whilst I check voltages. Many thanks, Mick.

Where abouts in Lancashire are you chap? Will probably have some wire you can have if you aren't fussy about matching colour codes. PM if you still need some. Mick.

As Tony has said ^^^^^ My RRC is fitted with 35" tyres but requires a 3" lift, chopped arches, not to mention castor correction arms, extended arches & roll bar removal. I suggest you do a search on lifts within the Rang Rover thread. HTH's Mick.

Cheers FKD, Picked the lathe up today, it isn't a Mascot after all, it's a MK2 Student. If I'm honest it's more the size I was looking for and although it's almost an antique it appears to be in fine fettle As it's 10 years since I've used a lathe I think I best scrounge some scrap!

Thanks for the replys gents, Incredibly I've been given a Colchester Mascot today! , It's about 10 years since I used a lathe so would appreciate any pointers relating to decent makes of indexable tools etc.. Cheers, Jammy person I'm not that keen on. - edit what I typed dosent translate to well!

Hi all, Looking for a combination lathe / miller as I don't have space for seperate machines, have come across this: http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/...lathemill-drill Problem is most of the stuff I've bought from MM has turned out to be complete $hite which I've ended up replacing with something more spendy. Question is would this go the same way? I'm a bit worried that the stand / suds tray is an extra and I can't see a lube tank any where... Would greatly appreciate it if anybody could recomend a decent piece of kit for reasonable money. Many thanks, Mick.

Sorry to interupt Glenn, Gent's I'm still at wiring stage on mine can anybody confirm the wiring details for the EAV please? I'v had a good read but I'm not sure of the pin out for a two wire system. Many thanks, Mick.

Oh carp! I wish you hadn't posted that link, spendy but very very nice

Nice one, Thanks very much once again Bish, Saved me a load of brain work. Mick.

Anybody made a rear bumper for a classic that incorperates d-shackle swivels for winching? If so any chance of a piccie? If not I guess I'll be busy this weekend! Cheers, Mick.

Hi All, Could anybody tell me what I should be paying for a replacement screen for a '87 classic please? Obviously want it fitting and it's not the bonded type. Many thanks, Mick.

Geoff, If you are only just starting out with a mig I strongly suggest you have a look at this website: www.mig-welding.co.uk It's as friendly and useful as this one and has some great tutorials. Whilst you are there register for the forum and look up a member called weldequip, if he can't find you a part nobody can, on top of that he's a nice fella and gives very reasonable prices. HTH's, Mick.

^^^^^^^ + 1 for Halfords Pro Wouldn't buy anything else from there though

Thanks very much David.

As there have been changes am I still right in thinking that I don't need either a IVA or SVA for my pickup? Chassis hasn't been modified in any way. Thanks, Mick.

Thanks very much David, A drawing of where to make the cuts will save me a headache and would be greatly appreciated. Quick question, would you consider your sliders to be "Jackable" with that wall thickness? Many thanks, Mick.

Wow, cheers gents! Any chance of letting me know what size box and tube you used as they look damn fine.

Could well be 3 feet on mine! Cheers Bish.

Sorry for dredging this up Bish but could you give a distance for "a LONG way"? Is around 3" sufficent? Many thanks, Mick.

Right Gent's, Sorry about this (please don't flame me, I have searched!) but can anybody help me? Made a start squirting the RRC 3.5 efi today 'cause the bloody thing wouldn't start again, question is do I have an "Idle Stepper Motor" as refered to on Fridge's wiring diagram? If I do what the hell does it look like? Many thanks, Mick.

Thanks! Tyres are 35" Creepy Crawlers, wheels are just plain black steel modulars. Can I ask what colour the truck in your avatar is please? I like it a lot, it's subtle just like me! Mick.

Are you going to modify the block sufficently to accept a 4.6 crank?! Would have thought you could buy a OE block for less £
