I am in Dundalk, I have one that I can lend to you for a while if thats any help?

get some 80 x80 and cuty off the excess dodwn one edge.

I usually spot weld on to broken stud to build it out a bit then weld a nut on to it and when its hot just take it out.

Thats bad news, any pics? would be helpful.

I have two sets of them ones in a blue box from Lidl, use them on stainless all the time. Cost €9.99 a set, have one set in garage and one in van, they been good.

Mine is 1800 watt, does everything I want, cant remember the name, Landy having clutch done so cant look. It allows me to run a small kettle, 110 transformer to run 5" angle grinder and various power tools, I have had to install a leisure batery as I am afraid to drain the cranking battery.

I got the ujs I needed from local place that does the likes and the carrier bearings as well, I think I paid €50 for two bearings and 3 ujs. Sorry cant help any more than that.

What difference does it make to your road speed and fuel economy?

I have one of those with the superwinch H14W driven from the pto. Which parts you want?

Mine leaks too, it comes through the seal below the windscreen/bulkhead on mine. Console yourself, its a landrover, they seem to leak inwardly and outwardly.

I have been offered a 1:2 transfer box. I am about to have the clutch done in my Td5 at last, but I am contemplating fitting the 1:2 transfer box at the same time, but I am not sure what is fitted at the moment, Would a 1:4 ratio box be the norm? How do I check, is there a serial number on the box somewhere? What advantage would fiting this box give me? I presume that it would give me better fuel economy at speed and lower engine revs, if I tow anything I like to use the D3. Thanks in advance Graham.

My 1800 watt inverter just trips and I have to switch it off then on again if there is any problems.

The passenger front door on my D3 will not unlock with the C/L. I have tried removing the cap on the outside of the door to unlock it manually but will not open nor will it open with the button on the dash. Any suggestions? Thanks Graham.

I have a similar problem with mine, when I push her on especially in 3rd and 4th the clutch slips and I back off the power and Getting new one in ext week.

It also helps if you fill the filter with diesel before you fit it>

Cutting ally is abit like cutting timber, dont go to fast and it will be fine. What size hole?

Buy a good ratchet, Britool or somthing of that quality, what I did 20 years ago was bought impact socket set with 3/8 drive and 1/2 drive with short and deep sockets up to 24 mm. have bought some others since separately, 27 30 32 36. broke most things with them, bolts and breaker bars but not the sockets and regularly beat the carp out of them. Think I paid around £45 and they are just a chep set, out of the back of a white transit off some gadget with a dodgy accent.

Ok no problem, just thought I had put them somewhere else and when there was no notice and they were gone did not know what had happened. Did not intend to upset the apple cart.

Just what I was going to add, the simplest and best action to take.

Point taken, how about getting a forum started for off topic section for a bit of banter for those with a sense of humour?

My last two posts have gone but dont know where? I posted it Monday night and again yesterday. It was about your passpot details, if you typed in your name and country of birth after a few seconds up pops a picture with a chimp and your name with it, was just for to bring a smile to everyones faces and have a laugh, is that not allowed on here???????????????

I had one done a few years ago, I provided the seal and they changed it for £20.00

Thanks Steve, I was slowly comin t that conclusion myself but just wanted to be sure.

I saw that one plus one more. Its just the kit I bought has two lengths of pipe and 3 90 degree swivel elbows. Axles and gearbox and trans box done then the fitting bible that came with it says that one fitting should go into the bottom of the gearbox bellhousing. maybe I dont need the thing and its just a bit of bulls--t, what do you think? There is one 8mm bolt screwed in that I think does not look original, not sure about it, and what is the larger threaded hole for that I can get my finger in to?Graham

Can anyone tell me where to screw in the fitting that came with the kit for my Td5, it is manual box. Thanks Graham.
