Well, its in now, just not running
Nige
Still not running?? What you doing man. How much time do you need
-
I'm paying about 110 quid for my 90, fully comp, cage, lockers winches etc etc. But it is garaged every night.
Nige, Could that not be falsely insured?? Just a thought that they could use it as a wriggle free thing for it not being what you said it was???? Not being picky but we all know how the insurance companys work.

Go to Disco3 site and look in the fix it section. Prob the best tech section on D3's that I've seen. Something that is lacking on here. Modern versions of Lr apart from the Puma.
-
He's certainly getting coverage. THis has now appeared on 4 or 5 LR based forums that I frequent. It is a hell of a tool collection
-
Is there no one in Wilts that has done this and would allow you to have a look at their conversion?? That way it would save you loads of research. They will have all the answers to any problems you may encounter

It seems no one makes a pattern part for the rear of the tub either
Only option if you are going to replace is gen and well over 100 of your english pounds

What size is the castle nut on the A frame ball joint?? Might fit
-
Do you get a nationally recognised certificate to confirm your newly acquired skills or is it just a cert from White Cliff. If they have gone to the effort of gaining accreditation in offroad instruction, winching instruction then it looks like a very good company to go and see. But if it's just their take on things then I would of looked for other companys.
Most important thing is that you enjoyed yourself and a big bonus was 1 on 1. That is very expensive in the corporate world when training is involved

I think if you put water anywhere near the filter it will fall apart. Unless you have a big stock of these filters and are prepared to throw them on a regular basis I would stick with what you have. IIRC the Wolf filter housing mounts completely differently ( I may be wrong) and it doesn't use a standard size filter. There was a thread back along of the problems people had getting the filters. That issue may have been resolved by now though. A bit of a search may reveal all you need to know
-
The filters are not washable. THey are a service item. The inner filter is only fitted to vehicles in hot sandy places. Those that get repatriated to a temperate theatre, the inner filter is normally removed at the next service. There is no need to run the inner where there is no chance of excessive dirt/fine dust.

Is that because they are not green fleet?? Is it white/clean fleet then?
-
In that respect all military vehicles have white/silver on black plates. I've never seen a mil vehicle with reflective plates with the recognisable zz44zz style plates when I've been travelling the country. Are there any?
-
May not be a good idea to fit a second hand unit but a look at the scrappys will let you see what is on the market. A quick blitz round with a tape and then off to the auto factors to order a new one.

Any more info on C & U exemption? Would be good to hear of any other snippets of info that pertain to ex mil LR should anyone intend to buy?
-
I don't see why not. It's still a RR at the end of the day so will still come with all the prowess that the marque that dictates
-
I don't get the hatred for this??? Why is this different from an Ibex, a rebuilt 90 with lowered suspension, big V8 and spangly alloys. Is it because it dares to be different??
Why should someone who can afford to do this be swayed by what you/we/I think. If I owned that and drove it down Guildford (other towns are available) High Street and you lot were sat on the corner all pointing and laughing I would assume that you were jealous because you didn't have the vision or the money to do it.
I don't understand people who build bling trucks anyway. Or feel the need to paint it stupid flip colours, put massive engines in that they'll never use the full potential of or those that build exped vehicles and go to Tesco's/Sainsburys/Asda in it so people can look at them and think they are some mega explorer when the furthest they have been is some LR experience day.
Rant finished

Why not ?
Aslong as you start it up first without the outlet hose on, give it a quick rev to clear any remaining liquids then refit the pipe it'll be fine
Ive used this method for years
This isn't the same as the advice above! He just states to clean with petrol/parafin etc and let the engine drag all those flammable vapours through the engine and hope they don't combust.
Yours is the better way of doing it but I'd still err on the side of caution and blow through with compressed air. That way there is no chance of anything untowards happen.
Perhaps I'm being a bit over cautios but not being a prof spanner operator I can't back my theory up!
-
Mo Murphy was thinking of doing similar recently, do a search for his thread, seems a good move BUT most likely not UK road legal, military vehicles have Crown dispensation from some Construction & use/road law regs.
Western
Are you sure they have crown dispensation? I thought that the MOD lost all crown dispensation in the early 90's. Hence why we are getting all the court cases of negligence from all those injured soldiers/sailors/airmen?
You'd of thought the crown dispensation would be across the board and not specific areas??
Very interested if you have inside info? Do you wear green skin????
-
If I was going to clean an I/C with anything with vapours I'd be letting it vent for a few days or give it a blow through with compressed air. I certainly wouldn't be letting the engine tick over and get rid of the fumes that way.

Perhaps it's me not seeing things clearly with the plasma lock thing strap.
Put 1 end through the 1 loop on the drum and then wind the rope on. But then how do you get the rope through the other loop without taking you hook off? If you are mid competition and break a rope that's not an easy option to replace. Or have I totaly misunderstood how it works???
-
Many thanks. Will keep an eye on that.

Many thanks. Will keep an eye out. Couldn't see a "thumbs up smilie"

After reading all the pages I'm now considering doing this mod. If nothing else just to keep up with you lot.
.Been trawling fleabay for a few weeks but nothing is coming up. Where do you all get your dials from? And what is an acceptable price to pay?

Don't some of the lift pumps have a small gauze filter in the top of the pump housing? I've seen at offroad events people struggling like this, they then remove and clean this filter and away they go again.
Worth a look see
