Though so, better get number one hammer out in the morning then, thanks for quick reply

Im in the middle of giving the winch a bit of a service, and was going to change the brushes, now do you just thwack the end off the motor housing with a hammer? ive given the thing a few exsploratory hits, but not a lot happening so before i get the big guns out and do some serious hitting i thought i had better find out if im going to damage something. As always thanks for any help.

Thanks for all help, gone for the T max twin in the end

Thanks for reply's

Im looking for a portable 12v tyre inflator, compressor, just looked on ebay and there seems to be a shed load of them, not much up on the portable ones, but need one to tie me over, must be able to inflate 35 inch tyres, not to worried about speed, though few minuites rather than standing next to the truck and finishing war and peace would be good. thanks

I caught this the other day, I think its being repeated next monday on another bbc sat channel, will check

After a quick scan around uk mails web site, looks like they will take batteries, so thanks again for info

Thanks for that, will give them a bell

Thanks That would be handy

They have just changed what they will and will not carry now, including a lot of engine parts or anything that has come into contact with oil and petrol

Thanks for reply, will give them a go see what they say

Does anyone know of a courier company that will deliver a battery?, not the wet sort it's an optima, spent yesterday trying to explain to various courier's the differance, but none wanted to know, any ideas? thanks

Now that is a good idea, thanks very much for input

Thanks,

So one that only reads pressure then, thanks for replys.

Not 100% but no idon't think so

Right after doing a bit of a search, and not really finding what i was after, here goes. At the risk of seeming thick will a turbo boost gauge that reads in -in hg (vacum) and + psi work on a td5? only ask as 1 i dont know and 2, ive asked a couple of people and been given both yes and no answers ie it will read pressure but not vacum Ta

Anyone? Can't find nowt on t'internet, need to know as want to order a y piece to go into the block, looks like will have to join alro and ask on there, which is were i found out about this in the first place, though they dont mention the size of fitting.

Can anyone tell me what the size of the fitting on the block end of the turbo drain pipe is please? looks to me like AN-8 jic fit? though ive not taken it off yet. Also is there any reason stopping me from running a drain from a provent 200 filter into it? Seen it done on the Oz LR forums but thought ask here thanks

Thats what i thought, worth a post though just to cofirm, thanks anyway

Can anyone let me know if it is possible to connect the od11 interface with one of the plx kiwi wifi etc that you can use with a smart phone? engine in question is a late 2004 td5 defender unit Ive had conflicting answers some say no, others that land rover changed the obd11 interface on there vehicles so that they can be read by more diagnosic equipment, though i very much doubt it. Thanks

Same as I did with my front arches, just cut the inners off the standard arches, if you want to revert back, front set used of eBay are cheap enough

Axia alloys make good light bar mounts www.axiaalloys.com We're I got mine from, mainly roll cage mounts, but come in many tube sizes, They are in the States though, good people to deal with and very quick to ship

Thanks for that, think I will invest in one

Has anyone fitted one? was looking on one of the Oz defender forums the other night, seems they swear by them, mainly seem to be the Provent 200. So question is are they really needed on a Td5 defender, didn't want to invest in one if im just throwing more money away.
