  1. Spotted this one on facebook over the weekend, might be too far away though https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/530983692191319/
  2. The electric guns have come a long way and I think whichever colour powertool you prefer do their own gun which you can obviously share batteries with your drills, grinders etc. I can only comment on the dewalt and sealey guns, we get the sealey ones at work and they give good pressure, not too heavy with the lithium batteries and you get a good amount of greasing time to one battery as well. The batteries don't last very long though if left stood around and we dont run any other sealey tools to share batteries with to keep them cycled. I have a dewalt gun personally and I cant fault it, a bit heavier than the sealey gun but feels a lot better made and the advantage of being able to swap batteries with the rest of my tools keeps them alive a lot longer. We also have air greasers in the main depots that sit on top of a big tub of grease. The lads prefer to use this when they're in the depot just for the fact that they are using 2-3 cartridges per machine on slew rings and other grease points etc so its much quicker. They save the cordless ones for field work.
  3. I think I'd go for the Ministry of Defender kit if I was in your situation, it means you keep your knee room under the dash and the added benefit of an upgraded heater to keep the kids warm in the winter as well! https://ministryofdefender.co.uk/buy-puma-dashboard.html#!/Defender-Air-Con-Heat-Dual-Core/p/447417842/category=0
  4. I'm soon to be in the market for a galv bulkhead so would apricate a bit more of an in-depth review of these three manufacturers offerings whoever they are. One of the youtubers have recently fitted a shielder bulkhead to a customers vehicle and said some of the holes were in the wrong place etc, that's all I've got to go off so far!
  5. I was thinking earlier I've got a mini with the 5AS immobiliser which I assume works in a similar way to the 10AS. The dash led doesn't blink on that and the immobiliser never sets because I have the door switches unplugged, have you checked that all your door switches are working?
  6. It sounds like it has switched 12v wired permanently to the stop solenoid from somewhere? I think I'd be working backwards from the stop solenoid wire. Have you found the "spider" unit? I think that is between the 10AS and the stop solenoid on the circuit so possibly where someone has been fiddling. Have you read through the electrical troubleshooting manual? That gives you the full lowdown on how it should operate as well as wiring diagrams. Alarm stuff starts at page 251 http://www.landy.ee/manuals/electricity/Disco_Elec.Troubleshooting Manual - LRL0077ENG (1997).pdf
  7. Word on the internet is the pressures are different, when I removed the EDC from my 300 I did change the injectors but I've read of people running the EDC injectors with no problem and wire disconnected.
  8. The CTEK 5.0 is £55.60 at Halfords if you have a trade card, seems like a good deal, I've just ordered one to replace my charger that's died
  9. I've done a few bits myself, centre dash binnacle to take 3x 52mm gauges and speaker rings I think are the only land rover related bits I've done but I've also made various bits to tidy up the garage, tool holders etc and other bits for my mini project. There's plenty available on https://www.thingiverse.com/ but a lot of the stuff is so specific that its usually quicker to redraw it yourself how you want it.
  10. Terrible news to hear. His contributions must have lured a high percentage of members in over the years. RIP Les
  11. Unfortunately that's business, if you want a set of genuine ones you'll pay even more. I'm sure if they prove to be popular and time passes more companies will make them and the prices will possibly drop. I'm sure the quality will drop with that and you'll spend a small fortune on wheel weights instead. I'm running 285/75/16s on mine, not to everyone's taste but I've ran them on a couple of vehicles now and get on with them. It's fairly easy nowadays to chuck all the details in an online calculator and figure out the amount of tyre "poke" you'll be getting, these sit flush with the edge of the standard arch. Anything wider would be questionable.
  12. Yeah mine are the Nakatanenga ones but I've noticed that Britpart have started producing/reselling them now https://www.lrworkshop.com/parts/DA2694
  13. Not sure how much banding is but the replica "ANR" wheels are £170 per wheel and are probably a bit more insurance friendly https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174283058609 I have a set fitted to the 100"
  14. Saw that a couple of days ago, discovery chassis lured me in as I thought it would be a 100", how wrong was I! I was too distracted by the flue system that I've only just noticed the bulkhead as well, is that a Santana bulkhead??
