No idea but it looks a little weedy and no current rating. These are very good (http://www.optimate.co.uk/accumate%20pro%2012-24.htm) and worth the money.

Thanks, err the whole internals have been changed, the shafts have been changed from 10 spline to 24 spline with big mushroom heads. But the mushroom heads and bolt sizes match up to early RRC/Disco 1 imperial axle.

I had a brain wave and I think I can answer my own question, so for completeness I'll post my own answer. I also have a original 1996 Disco 1 and as the changeover between the 2 parts happened 93/94 then this should have the later SMC500240 caliper. So I removed a bolt from one of it's rear caliper and it is bigger and won't fit my 90's axle or current caliper but it fits the new SMC500240 caliper without any play in it. So if your caliper bolt is 11mm at the shoulder then it is the earlier caliper RTC5890 for ABS & Non ABS up to Rear axle nos 28S44171 & 32S2118 and if it is 12mm then it is the later SMC500240 for ABS & Non ABS axle nos 28S44172 & 32S2119 onwards

My 1992 Defender has a bisc brake rear axle which I'm told would not be a standard fitment for this age of vehicle so a previous owner probably changed it. The question is what was it changed to? I'm told it could be a Defender 300tdi item, a disco 1 or a range rover classic item and that there are two different sizes of caliper bolt spacings. My parts supplier says the difference are minor E.g SMC500240 for ABS & Non ABS axle nos 28S44172 & 32S2119 onwards or RTC5890 for ABS & Non ABS up to Rear axle nos 28S44171 & 32S2118 What is the difference between these parts? My parts supplier has given me SMC500240 and it fits but the bolts are slightly looser is the caliper than the original. Do I have the right part? Can SMC500240 fit an axle designed for RTC5890 but not the other way around? or is it easy to tell if you have the wrong part? Thanks

I don't think it will be 100A or above as they would be on multi v belts not a V belt as it generally cannot handle the load of the 100A

Might it be cheaper to rent a compressor?

Not all compressors quote displacement CFM as some don't have any displacement to quote e.g. Hydrovane compressors but they are not cheap. The tool might quote 4CFM as the constant air consumption (which should be the FAD number) but are you going to use it constantly? So if you want the cheapest method you can go for a smaller compressor BUT you will have to wait for it to recharge the tank every so often. The general recommendation for a compressor is to go for the biggest one you can afford.

Another area to think about after the more simple things and before water pump is how well tuned is your engine. A lean mixture will generate more heat.

Another consideration, are you running a heater matrix? I think people say that the pump is man enough, but water will take the easiest route, so as the resistance has increased to the rear rad more water will be going by the heater matrix. Which unless you are running the interior fan won't be cooling the water before it returns to the engine.

These people (http://www.nufast.co.uk/ourproducts_view.asp?ID=1) might do some square weld nuts in the right size. Or cage nuts are square (just remove the cage)

To answer my own request for completeness I believe it is 1/2 inch NPT

Thanks

Hi Can anybody tell me what the rough diameter of all the wires the that go to the MS V1 ECU including the fuel and main relay wires? This is so I get a gland/grommet for the box the ECU is going in. Thanks

2.16m Van side with external cage and 4" lift on 35" tyres (excluding waffle boards seen in my avatar picture)

I don't know what people find wrong with Dyson's I have a DC01 that is still going strong after at least 10 years of use including lots of DIY and Garage use.

Yes

I've used my rear through the cage on my van side and found it useful in stopping falling over and bringing you closer to punches. So on a king cab it should be fine.

But then "cheap" goes out the window, it's only cheap if you could find the right voltage/ wattage combo Which I was only looking for 24v and just noted that other voltages were available. PS it make sense that the higher wattage inverters use higher voltages to keep the current down.

As it is an intelligent charger is seems to cope fine with the 100+ Amp Hours we have connected to it instead of the 7 Amps Hours of the internal batteries.

I can say that our Fridge would not run on a modified sine wave inverter, which is just a motor running a pump at a set speed but will run on the UPS. We just rerouted the Anderson power connector for the batteries to outside the UPS case to connect to the external bigger vehicle batteries. There are a few one downsides of using a UPS in that it beeps when on batteries but that can usually be turned off and it is bigger than an inverter (as it usually has space for the internal batteries). The plus side is that you also get an in built intelligent battery charger.

All inductive loads - fridges, pumps, many power tools, motors and so on need pure sine wave, so the girlfriends hair dryer might not work on a modified sine wave even if under 1000w A cheap way to get a pure sine wave inverter is to buy a UPS with dead batteries but check the battery voltage required, some are 12v, but some are 24v, 36v or even 48v We picked up a 24v 1000w pure sine wave for £16 to go in our coach (so 24v is fine), it also has automatic cut over from shore power.
