Merry Christmas everyone.

Hi all, Well to add a 1p to the topic, in trade school we were taught to store batteries on wood too and this was in South Africa so the cold wasn't a factor there, for the life of me I can't recall why we had to do this, school ended 20 years ago.

Great 4x4, used them in RSA for work on the beach tower boats.

Found this on eBay. No they are not mine, I have no affiliation to seller. Someone here may find them useful. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PAIR-FRONT-AND-REAR-DANA-70-AXLES-BRAND-NEW-OFF-ROADER-LAND-ROVER-BUGGY-/370603967333?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5649b7c365#ht_641wt_922

I must say, I have never used the torque multiplier tool before, I will look into it. I do seem to be doing odd jobs on my D2 that require torquing, like cylinder head bolts and wheel bearing hubs, and I'm tired of having to beg and borrow a torque wrench, so it's time I get my own. Thanks for the replies though.

If you can afford a helicopter, then £19/M is cheap.

Can't disagree with that, thanks.

Good day gents, As anyone had any experience with the BGS technic tool band as far as reliability goes. I'm looking at buying a torque wrench that will reach the torque setting of 490 nm as require for the hub/ wheel bearing nut of a Discovery 2. The price is right "affordable" at £130.00 as apposed to +£300.00 for most other brands, I only worry that when you buy cheap you get cheap. Thanks in advance for your opinions.

Hi, there. I had a similar proble with a VW golf, when park on a slope/ hill with the engine at the lower end, fuel would fill into the cylinders and buy pass the rings. Turned out to be a fault with the carburettor, fuel would drain through when left standing. Worth a look, hope it helps.

Thanks for the info. Cheers Gary.

Hi there, if you are still shopping for tyres have a look on the Camskill website. The Toyo, Cooper and Hankook brands offer AT patterns and they as as good as if not better than General Grabbers. They are also in that critical price arrange of affordable. Cheers Gary

In South Africa, taxis grant you immediate respect on the road! You will only ever appreciate that feel of satisfaction if you have had the pleasure of living or driving in SA

Hi all, Is it difficult to bleed the air through the ABS unit once the new master cylinder is fitted. Are there any other possible issues to avoid. Thanks Gary.

Here is my D2 with steel rims 16" and KL71 tyres.
