Look up that PDF that Nige posted in the metal bender thread... it has 'sensible' rads in the shaded boxes

Which GPS mouse are you using Ross?

That design won't stop anyone for long ... hammer and nail or a screwdriver & screw would allow you to connect a wire to the top of the solenoid easily.

Wiltshire Land Rovers 329 Snarlton La, Melksham SN12 7QP 01225 700975
Havnt been for 10 years, but used to be very good, nice people, and an intetresting yard full of stuff (then - Scammel recovery. AEC militant, US 6x6s) used to specialsie in V6 S1s
That would make Landy-Novice 7 years old or younger when they were still about, no wonder he had problems remembering them!

Just clear coat it

.... it'd be a shame if your children had no Christmas presents....or maybe got a gearbox instead of a cowboy outfit and bicycle...
I'd have been over the moon to be given a Land Rover gearbox as a kid
My would mother probably have been somewhat less impressed though

Looks like a motorcycle swingarm is being used to hold that winch.
-
Could the centre have ripped out of the clutch friction plate?
-
Would it work putting in the crosses as tensioned wire?
Imagine if it rolled at speed and the impact caused a wire or it's mounting to snap. It would be like a wire winch cable snapping .... but in a confined space....

Everybody here in Finland is already on Winter Tyres and there is no snow yet (but the temp range is -1 to 5 C ).
I'm actually currently only a few km away from the Nokian Tyre factory, but I'm not bring back a set in hand luggage for anybody
I'm sure you could slip through with 4 285's tucked under your arm... nobody would notice
Could you bring them on rims while you are at it? lol -
Forgive me for stating the bleedin obvious but what difference does a couple of seats and a set of windows make to emissions?
......
Cynical view..... Businesses don't get to vote in the Mayoral elections.... Boris doesn't want to lose voters.
I live about 400 yards outside of the 'voting area' so get the pain of his ideas but no say.

On the news this morning they have been saying lorry drivers 'owe' about £9million pound in fines for breaching the LEZ ......

Liking that,a lot of work has gone into that by the look of it .
.... and welding wire!
Looks like it isn't the first he made

He got £300 for this one

I would start with the LT230 input gear accessed through the plate on the back. These wear the splines on the gearbox output shaft if you have the old non drilled input gear, I don't know if this affects discoveries but is very common on defenders with the same running gear.
-
Ashcrofts want £500 plus a core charge of £350 if you don't have one to trade in.

I have never driven anything newer than a 300TDI, I've spent quite a bit of time and money this last year fixing mine due to PO neglect. I have nothing against the newer vehicles, I'm sure they are great, however I'm happy with what I have and couldn't afford to buy a newer Defender that has an LEZ compliant engine. The roller coaster of whether my Station Wagon was exempt or not from the LEZ has made the last year a bit depressing.
-
You can to save a few quid replace just the input gear with a cross drilled one as they have longer splines than the non drilled one (at least mine did) so will work on the un-buggered part of the R380 output shaft. Obviously it won't last as long as replacing the gearbox but mine has been running like it for about 8000 miles now with no noticeable increase in transmission slack and others have run them far longer.
Anyway just a thought if you don't have time and money to do the gearbox swap at the moment.
This is what I am running on with no problems .... yet....[rapidly searching for some wood to touch]

Surely there should be a distinction between petrol and diesel here? It was my understanding that petrol always pressurises a sealed container - and it is called the 'vapour pressure'. I have a jerry can for petrol and one for diesel - alway pressure in the pertol one....
Good point, I'd forgotten about that
-
Les - i agree with you 101% but in my petrol i sometimes get a pressurised tank after it's been used. I've got a one way valve to allow air in but not out. God knows why ! ? But after an event, i leave the lid loose to allow air in / out.
Maybe the 1 way valve is to keep fuel in if you roll it or go fast around a corner. One other way that a tank could theoretically pressurise is through fuel expansion if parked in the sun, but it wouldn't happen if the engine was running.
-
Why have they chosen a Wildcat as the prototype vehicle? ..... toys to play with perchance?
-
Interesting how low it seems even though it's had a 2" lift. I wonder what size they tyres are? maybe that's what makes it look so low.....
-
spines on the output shaft?
These are easy to check by just removing the PTO cover plate on the transfer box, as they are a common failure point and dead easy to check this would be my first port of call.
-
Theoretical here... So if I wanted to drive in London...
my 90 was built as a Station Wagon, but the V5 says light 4x4 utility. But to 'reclassify' it I need pictures of the windows (got) and seats in the back (not got!). How would you go about doing that?!
How would you go about doing what? Taking pictures? ... first you need a camera.
.... could you just borrow some seats for the photo shoot?
-
My eyes seem to be deceiving me for I see no picture .....
Could you bring them on rims while you are at it? lol
