  1. no problem thats what ive got a 5amp fuse to keep the radios memory so no probs if you turn the ignition on while the isolator is off the glow plugs will blow it straight away
  2. if your planning on keeping it for a while weld your post code everywhere my trailer has postcode and initials everywhere doesnt look brilliant but would take a lot of grinding to get it all off, also drill some holes in the shape of post code its harder to weld or remove a piece to cover it up,chris.
  3. unless its leaving the inside smooth i cant see how this will make any difference blasting leaves a rough finish unless its being done with glass bead which gives a nice smooth finish i had the ports on a mx bike tuned and thay come back like a mirror finish just my thoughts,chris.
  4. hello has this a throttle cable or is it fly by wire
  5. i bought a sedimentor which fits a jcb3cx from ebay about 10 quid it has a gauze filter inside it ive got the pipe and couplings just havent got round to doing it yet all i was going to do with the old one was bypass it using some pipe etc,chris.
  6. like you say a brilliant place for it there is a picture on here of one mounted next to the main filter on the bulkhead i bought a new one to put mine there but havent got round to fitting it yet,chris.
  7. i worked in a car factors shop inthe early eighties the owner had an experience with a battery on charge removing the charging lead without turning it off and it exploded unfortunely he wasnt as lucky burns to face and within six months he was almost blind at least you had goggles on ,chris.
  8. are the front pads worn down causing them to bind have these got the wear sensor on the pads is it the same light that shows low fluid level i would check front pads and also wheel bearings.chris
  9. like ita been said loose front spoiler and the best 100 pound i spent was a set of 50mm lift springs lot firmer ride less wallowing into the corners but the worlds your oyster ive also got a winch bumper, steering guard,light bar ,snorkel and looking for a winch ,chris
  10. i thought i done well when i made a towing pin thats the dogs dangles nice piece of work,chris
  11. this is what im loking at but in a diesel ebay no 320412307953
  12. hello i know its clutching at straws have you checked your wheel bearings if thay are loose it will cause the pads to move away from the discs causing more travel when braking you wouldnt notice this if you was breaking every 300/400 yards but over a distance it will push the pads away worth a look,chris.
  13. i can see what your saying i have red diamond grade on the rear of my disco and to remove is like you describe comes off in 2 stages sticks like poop on a blanket im not sure if its diamond grade on the battenburg,chris.
  14. steel shot/chilled iron will remove it sand tends to remove it but it sort of burns it off if you can get what i mean i done shotblasting for 3 years and chilled iron steel shot will remove it if you was around here my uncle has a business in essex chris
  15. nice one western i rang our traffic police here and thay couldnt give a direct answer ooh well if i get one it looks like the hairdryer but ill prob leave the stripes on the rear thanks for the link chris
  16. i know its off topic but i would like some views im looking to buy a x police vehicle namely a focus estate dog van there has been a few turn up on ebay my question is these still have the full batenburg trim blue/yellow squares all thay do is remove the police wording and light bar what are your views comments on legeality of the battenburg markings
  17. replaced the gearbox oil with mtf94 and yes its definently smother changing gear and doesnt feel so resistant so in my opinion worth the change chris
  18. i have a 300tdi n plate i have recently fitted a snorkel and put my k&n back in my idea being the air being taken in should be cleaner than the air being sucked in from behind the indicator i dont think it makes any difference in performance but i wouldnt pay 40 quid for one when a paper is about a fiver just my opinion,chris.
  19. just an update ordered oils on sunday night on line arrived today no probs here brillliant service well recommended
  20. if i remember corectly you pay the first years rental in advance plus the gas acectylene works out about 100 with the years rental and oxy is about 60 but ive never had any probs with boc i have the half size oxy now if you wasnt using it for welding the propane route is the cheapest just rent the oxy and propane is rental free from calor.chris
  21. are you going to use them for welding or cutting i have just returned my acectylene to boc it worked out about 120 a year rental on the bottles a v and a m iirc but thay also hae a fixed charge for collection,i have now got propane and oxy for cutting only i find propane gives a cleaner cut and a lot safer than acectylene you only have to change the nozzle,like others say insurance is an issue,chris. ps i have the propane from calor no rental on the bottle.
  22. check the earth connections and clean all the connections an earth fault can cause havoc
  23. nice one les looked on their web site and thay accept paypal so ill probably give them a try cheers chris
