L19MUD

I have done exatly the same thing but with a 109 . . I cut the chassis off flush with the front of the rear tub and then welded on an A frame. I then took the half shafts and diff out, then welded a cap over the end of the diff case. Another option would be to do away with the 110 axle and put indespention units on it as the land rover axle is quite heavy (and uses hydraulic brakes) whilst the indespention units would be able to be used with normal cable trailer brakes. I didnt bother with brakes on mine as I use it as a camping trailer with minimal stuff in and so it is under 750kg's If you wanted to run with the 110 axle I'm sure it would be possible to modify the braking setup from a late sankey trailer. The hydraulic brakes work really well on these. Hope that helps

Excellent thanks

Has anybody ever done this? I want to paint a set of L322 silver alloys black but I dont know what type of paint is really suitable (and dont want it to all flake off!) I do have access to spraying equip They will only be used as a set of road whells/tyres so wont be subject to off road damage

Thanks, I will do a search I dont have a Td5 engined motor but a few mates of mine have. I do have an L322 Rangie though and a BMW 5 Series (E39 shape) which have similar BMW electronic systems (excluding all the air suspension) I would also use it for a selection of other cars, so would prefer a "one size fits all" system that does not cover the specifics, as opposed to a specific system that only covers one engine type. (I appreciate that is a bit OT) Thanks

I appreciate they are not going to be the best thing in the world but if it saves me hooking up to a garages diagnostic comp for £50 a go it would pay for itself in that one use What is the next option up from this? OIr is the next option up vehicle specific Thanks

There are lots of chaep diagnostic kits on ebay for around £30 like this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CAR-DIAGNOSTIC-CODE-READER-ELM-327-USB-ver-1-3a-OBD-CAN_W0QQitemZ120529442437QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment?hash=item1c101d5685 question is are they any good at all? I appreciate you only get what you pay for etc etc but as I have a computer in the workshop already, an investment of £30 seems well worth it to clear the odd fault code Thoughts please!!

I couldnt agree more - I have this exact size BFG on my 200Tdi 90, have done about 20k miles on them with hardly any noticable wear. They have been used for the odd pay and play day, greenlaning trip, plus wet road use towing heavy trailers coping well with everything. Yes if you brake really hard you can get them to slide in the wet but they handle much better than the remoulds I have used. My experience of the Kumho's is they wear very fast but a good (and cheaper) choice if you dont do too many road miles

Thanks for the links western! I have just got a computer on the cheap to put in the workshop, I will download all of those to put on it.

That is amazing! I know this is cheeky but has anyone got links to scanned copies of other Models of Land Rover parts books? Thanks again, very useful

Thanks for the advice everyone, think I will probably go down the route of parrafin as most things I do dont need painting

Hello I have bagged myself an ebay bargain brand new parts washer (solvent free only) Any suggestions on what to use in it? I have been getting contrasting suggestions! Some people say just use parrafin or diesel whilst others say only use proper chemical - help! If chemical is the way to go what one should I use? Tank capacity is abou 70 litres Cheers!
