    You not got a tame TIG welder around anywhere? That would fix the problem area as you have a controlled start and stop.

    It's all those lovely roads without traffic jams out there in Aus that means Boydie doesn't see the finger wear that is common in the UK

    It's now got a different title http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Daihatsu-Land-Rover-80-SWB-Hybrid-/391322163226

    I have a VDO rev gauge on my 300TDI and I did quite a bit of testing of it when I fitted it and they are only approximate. You could try one of those optical tachometers from eBay to see how accurate your gauge actually is. Something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252147885959

    The front panel with the 110 sticker and the starting handle hole is a nice touch

    So have you taken a crashed Puma and you are retrofitting a 300 TDI into it? How will you get it through the emissions test? Or is this a 300 TDI vehicle that is having dash/gearbox/bulkhead/axles from a Puma fitted? Actually it has windscreen hinges so I'm guessing it's an earlier vehicle than a 300 Definitely going to be a forever vehicle with all that galv .... I like

    Perhaps some experimentation is required to see how well it handles it, being a diesel it should be less inclined to stall than a petrol of the same HP.

    Will be interesting to see how the build turns out My calculations were at 175 bar btw, I guess yours were a bit lower or a smaller pump (22cc in my case). Another option that seems favoured by commercial log splitters is the two stage pump, that allows for a smaller engine without sacrificing speed.

    Keith Gott seems to advertise them (for export and off road)

    Disadvantage of socket head on beadlocks ...... they'll be full of mud (probably hard and dry by the time you get to them )

    Actually I did that calculation at the 1500 RPM recommended speed for the dowty pump, what speed does that diesel develop it's 17hp at? EDIT: Just checked, that 17HP is developed around 3000rpm, so I think you'll have to gear it down as I think the pumps I've seen shouldn't run over 1500rpm, if you were to run it at 3000rpm the HP requirement would be too high for the engine anyway.
  12. CwazyWabbit
    The hp required is based on pressure and flow. So playing with the calculator at http://www.hydraulicsint.com.au/hydraulic-calculator.html and using the pressure/flow figures from the old superwinch/fairey 525 manual it comes up with a 'tad under 14hp required (well it did it in KW but I converted it)
  13. CwazyWabbit
    I'll see if I can find the paper work I have for my Superwinch/dowty PTO hydraulic pump
  14. CwazyWabbit
    Is that a D950 engine? If so it's about 17hp according to google and http://www.wslconstruction.com/SiteAssets/kubota-files/70mm%20Engine%20Manual.pdf
  15. CwazyWabbit
    A spot of googling suggests it is switchable in the ECU with a RovaCom ...... but I'll let another P38 owner confirm that .

    In the past I failed on a headlight, it wasn't broken but the adjuster screw had rusted preventing it being adjusted. So I drove to get a new one, during daylight hours of course. I can of course understand there are many failures that you would be an idiot to drive away from the MOT station with
  17. CwazyWabbit
    Any of the MOT testers on here confirm that this is a change to the guidlines? Driving a vehicle that’s failed You must not drive the vehicle on the road if it fails the test, even if the MOT hasn’t run out, except to: have the failed defects fixed a pre-arranged MOT test appointment https://www.gov.uk/getting-an-mot/after-the-test
  18. CwazyWabbit
    There is a reasonable chance that it isn't reprogrammable, I've been away for training with work so I'll have a think when I'm back.
  19. CwazyWabbit
    According to the interwebs it wasn't until 2007 that the front facing rear seat were introduced ..... Not sure if sideways were always exempt, perhaps someone like MickeyW would know better?
  20. CwazyWabbit
    I'm betting those rear seats are only to be used while the 110 is stationary and people are sitting in the back with a cup of tea or something. Surely by 2002 side facing bench seats would have had seat belts? Perhaps I'm just being a bit blind ...

    I used the same place as Nigel, you can fit a banjo bolt. Pretty certain I used one of these but check the thread first http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12MM-BANJO-FOR-6MM-HOSE-M12x1-5-BOLT-FUEL-OIL-/391305501556
  22. CwazyWabbit
    That's a very good point Pete, well spotted.
  23. CwazyWabbit
    Sounds good to me, the door will have fallen off it's hinges or fallen to bits in that time span
  24. CwazyWabbit
    Was that on eBay or somewhere sensible?
  25. CwazyWabbit
    Might even go higher than that, 6 days to go and it's already reached 6 grand
