[Bits 'n' Bobs]

2 EPC pages will appear shortly with all the relevant bits shown

here you go Geoff

[Lowered bump stops]

Lots of free wood where you live too

[mileage.. does it realy mater....?]

You should find quite a few good quailty vehicles at Brightwells, a mate of mine has bought some very tidy 110's from them.

[Your prayers please.]

I know how you feel cos my Dad passed away on the 9th.

[winch cables , solinoids /albrights]

All my winch power cables are on the passenger side, cables run from batts along chassis to albright sooly [bolted to galvy inner arch & clear of air fliter mounting/casing] then down to winch motor, with the 2 cable remote sockets 1 above each headlight & radio remote box under the left wing top panel.

[5th Gear]

Not having seen the programme, this was a crash test then was it?

Looking at the pictures, the crash test was done on the corners of the cars? I understand that this is one of the most common accidents on our roads and the Renault is presumnably designed with this in mind. The 40YO RR based Disco probably was not. I wounder what if they had been crashed head on? Rear ended? Side impact with each other?

10k does seem a lot to pay for a Disco 1!

Chris

The crash test was setup to show how the 2 vehicles could cope with a 50% frontal impact at 40mph, right front corners & halfway across the nose was the impact area.

bet they don't add the video to the webpage

[R380 Synchromesh]

Talk to Dave Ashcroft, my 1st R380 did well over 200,000miles without any problems, can't see why a dodgy synchro would affect the MOT.

[5th Gear]

FRom the 5th gear website 4x4 V MPV !

[5th Gear]

I'll bet that you could fix the Disco though and get it back on the road!

With a new chassis & body shell maybe.

[5th Gear]

Disco looked to be quite tidy & a very recent Espace wasted as well.

[Evil 4x4 and 2x1's stay away..........]

Do it

[Defender clutch fork.]

Another top post for the Tech Archive, well done Les

[Twin Fuel Tank Selector Valve Microswitch???]

Shows on my EPC for 90/110 same part number as above

[what GPS for Morocco?]

Just set the existing GPS to show lat/long refs instead of UK OS refs.

[Handy thing to know....]

Good find RT, Worth adding to the Tech Archive.

[anyone heard of ??]

Not seen this problem on my 200's spill return line, probably because the rubber hoses was fitted from new.

[timing belt]

I've not done a 300Tdi, but would change all the bits in DJ's list above

[Yes, its a HFH Moment..........]

Nige, another classic tale, always a great read,

[Thinking of adding a 110 TD5 to the fleet]

In one of the April issue LR mags [LRO iirc] there's a Defender buyers guide.

[Replacing the PAS pump in 110 V8]

I noticed you didn't stick around to help - bluddy skiver!

Nice to see you again Ralph.

Les.

You didn't need any help wiv that tiny job catch up with again you before I go back home

[Replacing the PAS pump in 110 V8]

Another good job for thr Tekkie Archive Les, looks like all went smoothly

[GPS antenna]

Mines on top of the right front roof bar leg.

[Landrover/Airframe design]

Normally use rivets of various diameter/lengths/material to hold aircraft skins together, bolts/nuts are used when parts are required to be removed for servicing/replacement or access to other areas.

[300 Tdi Saws thru radiator hose]

Bear in mind there is also a plastic clip on top of that metal bracket which for some reason isn't shown in the parts diagram. You need that as well

That'll be ESR2662, shown on the Radiator hoses page item 6 below
