Could we see some pictures of the pipework please ?
-
I wonder how many VOSA check points that will get through when it finally gets on the road? One of those 25 bidders is in for a shock.
-
Can one even buy snow chains big enough for a defender? I'm running 285/75R16 and I had thought it wouldn't be possible? I'm keen too if it's possible- M+S rating seems to mean very little in the real world..
The official part number is STC7664 although at £480 I'm thinking you'll look for an alternative! The pictures of them I've seen look no different to the cheapo ones you get for normal cars tbh
Apparently they are for 235/85 R16 & 7.5 R16 Tyres
Actually appears there are loads of different part numbers, but most seem to be about the same price

Just please use this vehicle as inspiration of what NOT to do:

:sob:
That bonnet looks 'interesting'
you'd have to question the statement
'its late 300tdi range rover classic chassis shortened to "88 these are much stronger with extra reinforcing runnig right through the lengh of the chassis thanks tony'
Why create such an abortion ruining two nice Landies in the process? -
Never mind, one day you'll be old and poor like the rest of us!
-
omg, its huge!! and alot of £££!!! why get one that big?
..... Nige has moved on to big boys toys!!
Always buy the biggest and best you can afford .... buy cheap buy twice and all that ....
I'm guessing Nige will never be cursing changing radius arm bushes again
-
I can see why you had to take it apart to move it
So what have you used it to squash so far? Purely for testing purposes obviously -
wheres the pictures of the press then?
I wonder if it is this one? ..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280729765484

WHY DO PEOPLE USE MASSIVE WRITING ON EBAY??
It makes that advert really painful to read, the occasional paragraph wouldn't be too difficult to do either... would it?
-
-
Those pictures seem to be different from one of the many previous auctions.......
I notice it doesn't have a spare wheel anywhere (there's a fuel can on the rear door and nothing on the bonnet) would have thought that would be useful on an 'expedition'
I wonder if the succesful bidder will turn up on here with questions about his aquisition?
-
it is your imagination!
go to iplayer and find it, skip to 41.22
My iPlayer navigation skills are somewhat lacking in comparison to your finely honed ones Mr Landy-Novice
-
Was it my imagination, but when they got stuck in that mud at the roadside, only the front wheels seem to be driven?
Tazz
At points you can see both front and back wheels spinning on iplayer when they were stuck in the verge

Relatively cheap idea but would take development time. Use an arduino device to measure voltage dropped across a shunt/resistor with it's analogue input and to record this using a pc, a few calculations would turn this into a current measurement and you could use your favorite spreadsheet program to draw pretty graphs etc.
Depends how much time you want to put in.... or if you could find someone that has already done it.....
Have a look at http://www.ladyada.net/make/logshield/lighttemp.html for some ideas
-
Does it also have 240v input? If so you could try using one of those plug in jobbies that tells you how much electric you are using to help you be greener. If there is something 'wrong' with the fridge it will use more power from whichever source it's powered from. It won't give you a current reading as such but you should be able to work it out as it will tell you how many kwh you have used.
Just a thought, I'll be prepared to be shot down now
-
Mikey, probably not much use to you but I have a set of 88" rims with tyres on, yours if you want them.
Wow! They are massive rims!
Sorry, couldn't resist that
-
sure ill find more.
Where's the rebuild thread?
-
My usual method on the Defender or the series 3, is engage 1st gear low (4wd for the series 3 and diff lock for the 90), breaker bar on nut, then trolley jack under the bar and jack it up until all the slack in the transmission is taken out. Then belt the end of the breaker bar with lump hammer as its still jacked up - the shock will then slacken off the nut. Works everytime.
Unfortunately Mickeys diff isn't in a vehicle....
-
How about length of pipe on the breaker bar and clamping length of wood/metal etc to the bench to stop it tipping? More than welcome to pop up to mine Mickey.... my bench is in the fecking heavy weight class with a good vice etc .... I'll even clear some of the rubbish out of the way so we can get as far as it!
-
Are you absolutely certain it's damaged? When I did mine that pipe was an absolute nightmare to get connected, it would look like it was lined up but wouldn't screw in. Turned out it wasn't lined up dead straight, I swore a lot and I finally got it to line up but I was contemplating undoing the steering box and then connecting up the pipe. Anyway if you have actually seen the thread damaged please ignore me.
Mine was an earlier defender, not sure if it makes any difference..

Hi
Had the same problem and used long cable ties joined together, easy to tension and lasted for 75 miles.
Nice idea
I guess it wouldn't work for a serpentine though.... -
Makes you wonder how long those busses last being 'offroaded' all day long
I guess they just fall of the mountain full of passengers when they are truely knackered...... -
Hope you can resurrect him.
-
Well whether it be a Landy or something else you end up dipping on the 19th of November I hope you have a great time
Enjoy yourself
