A sunk lift is OK, but if you are planning on rolling hoists or jacks around in the same space it becomes a massive pain.
-
The Lc1 and LC2 use different sensors, so be aware of that, I forget the nomenclature, but it is clear when you start looking as the plugs are different. If it works and gives a reading then it will be fine, I've certainly had one in a box for 5 years and it worked fine on first switch on, just remember to calibrate it in free air.

1993 Defender 110 Station Wagon
Bowie69 replied to Stinkfloyd's topic in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016)
It may melt at 420C, but I bet you the tank is hotter than that for dipping. -
Don't forget your CTIS....

As usual 9 or 10 steps ahead. Cue pictures of a beadlock ring welded in place, and remaining 9 rings just waiting to be installed.
-
Run at 10 I reckon you will be on the money there... Time for beadlocks?
-
Technically not legal for UK, I believe.
-
You should be able to swap the drive out of the 1.4 box and it will be the same as it was before?
-
I guess that's what happens when you mess with nature on a large scale - unintended consequences.
-
The sticky almost felt like plasticine..... Be good to see them with a bit less pressure in them.
-
I think Sid is quite a bit wider than the 110....
-
Gonna be a struggle getting between a trees.... but I suppose you can just drive over them.
-
Agreed.
-
More likely to be a tube frame very lightweight thing...
-
Well, it is a quattro.... Don't think I haven't though about building a 5 cylinder turbo independent suspension buggy... FWIW it had hydro boost from factory, but too expensive to fix when it went wrong, so runs a normal servo now.
-
For clarity, those are 225/45/17 on the audi. They look really small.
-
What do we reckon?
-
14.18 at the battery is fine, there will be voltage drop between the alternator and battery so you won't see the full 14.5V Other cars have a straight 14V regulator, and charge fine.
-
And not made of tin foil....
-
Hammer the face flat and weld some new crush tubes in place with a spreader plate on the back. I wouldn't be messing about with it with pullers etc.

Looks like one of these: https://www.lrbits.co.uk/drivelodge-lifting-pop-top-roof-defender-110 However, if I were doing a lifting roof it would have to have the bed in it.

A pic would help.

Thoughts and Musings on the Ineos Grenadier
Bowie69 replied to Bowie69's topic in The New Ineos Grenadier
It's a thing, but the thing is a trap. -
Of course, being in the states, and access to cheap LSs autoboxes and numerous different transfer cases, and the vehicle being a long wheelbase, I wouldn't be putting anything LR based in it.
-
You don't mention budget, but if you have deepish pockets, the Cummins R2.8 is a popular swap in the states, for Jeep and LR.
