ricky tango

did this on the campsite in wales at the j33p event , 180 miles away from home lt77 locked up so we took it back to camp sourced a replacement from a breaker that day and replaced the lt77 and lt230 that evening to use the car the next day before then driving it home we had a halfords 150 piece set and a tool box of bits/ bars , there were 4 of us but it was done in the field after a days off roading and after me rolling my range rover and beating it back into a driveable state for the following days off roading and the dive home thats mine an hour or two before the swap (so we were bruised and battered) cage took the brunt of it although ive had to do some major work to keep it on the road as it was structurally damaged but its almost there now ive had some time to work on it

definitely leave the engine in there, if youve got a crane for taking the engine out then use it through the gear change hole to drop and lift the boxes as one , you'd lose air con , coolant, oil, and pas for a start if you drop the block and i would say fitting in one go is a heavy risky job dropping that all through the bonnet hole

I wouldnt post mate there's no point in ruining a solid screen

Where ate you I have one in west London cheap

It's body off too for a clutch I heard ?

Anyone know the weight of a rrc. I'm on the road on iPhone stopping to check this lol

I need to pick up a part stripped rrc and all my usual trailer friends are using them this weekend I've been offered the use of a transit beaver tail which he's had a disco on the back before , but Is it legal or is it over the limits of the transit ?

Having used both I agree a socket is nicer , more control when torquing down the second locknnut

Adwest recomendation here too, recieved a very personal service the other week

hi John, yes collection wasnt a problem / cash or card accepted price for an out right std box is £289.78 inc or they post for £23.00

hey guys i spoke to them and went down to pick one up , its a brand new out right unit only problem is mines got a disco type arm and when i got there he'd put me aside a defender early rrc type , and had no disco arms in stock so i got to bloody swap them

confused me now as i thought hydro is supposed to remove strain on the box ? or are your thoughts that i will go at it like a clown because i have hydro and pop broken box lol

lol ive gone many years without hurting mine too bad

right, i'm off / its raining , rrc bobtail play thing is stripped needs a new pas box but i have three choices 1, std brand new adwest steering box (fit hydro assist later) £280 + hydro £300 = £580 2, std internal quick ratio, doesn't strengthen or asist if it gets stuck in the mud but takes the car from 4 turns to 3 lock to lock £560 3 uprated internals quick ratio, less prone to shaft snapping quick ratio , but still has no assist in the boggy stuff £680 overall i think std with hydro will be as strong as uprated plus i get the assist when i need it and it will still be cheaper answers on the back of a post card

Thanks for the link, was just asking to see what the chances were before I call them
