  1. Plus, it's a beam axled body-on-chassis vehicle with massively oversized squishy tyres with big lumps of rubber sticking out of them -if you can notice it, then you are doing really, really well indeed.
  2. This one, I think: https://forums.lr4x4.com/topic/106580-cheap-impact-wrench-makita-copies/#comment-952288
  3. Surely 30 spline shafts wouldn't fit in a 31?
  4. Agreed, if we all posted the stuff we had to do twice there'd be 50% more forum content
  5. They allow you to be 90 degrees from the fastener, small impacts are great, excellent, but the ratchets I think are more flexible. The Milwaukee M12 ratchet is shorter, and with all brands they do see to have a couple of different sizes, some of which (Dewalt I think?) have 3/8 and 1/2 on the same head.
  6. Yup, not doing anything at all there without a cowl.
  7. Remember.... It isn't the darkness that protects your eyes from the UV.
  8. I'm beginning to wonder if this has wandered off topic a touch.
  9. People will always want more, and not fall behind other countries, therefore they will work, a different form for sure, just as with feudel system changes, industrial revolution, but it will still be work.
  10. You can do swap bottles (e.g. SGS round here), but you pay for the volume of gas in it, sure the larger ones are probably slightly better value, but there's not a massive jump.
  11. 0.2mm sounds like interference fit, will be fine Good job finding them!
  12. I bought an oil-free twin Hitachi silent (50l, I think) to replace my el-cheapo supermarket/Wolf branded 24L(?) one... it is so nice when it kicks in an all you get is a bit of humming in the background. I use it more because it is quiet. Main uses are tyres, blow gun and die grinder which is used a lot. I have sprayed with it, but smaller items (suspension rebuild on Audi CQ20V), but I am sure I could spray with it -I did with the old one at least to satin finish MOD paint and got good results, so doubt I would struggle with this. HVLP guns help in this regard, and with the compressor being oil free means that is one less thing to worry about if trying to do something more with 'pretty' paint. For a welder, MIG is great, point and squirt and with practice you will get better and better. If I were starting out, but had some cash to spend I would absolutely look at one of the all-in-ones (MIG, TIG, Arc/MMA), as for a DIYer you'll often very quickly run out of space, and not having two welding carts kicking about is much better. You can get a reasonable one from around £1500 onwards, which given a DIY MIG is the thick end of £600 these days is not that bad in reality.
  13. I know this is a bit of a bump, but a gentle tap with a rubber mallet will spin the inlet barb round to whatever direction you want.
  14. Adding to that, ECS have a kit which shows a plug-in loom: LR02813U - Towbar wiring kits | ECS Electronics (ecs-electronicsuk.co.uk) Has fitting instructions, which does show wiring colours, but perhaps they are standard rather than LR specific?
  15. 'Damaged' was a slight understatement then I doubt very much the wiring diagrams are available yet, a glance at Towsure shows they recommend using the factory wiring kit from LR when wiring them in. Is it possible there is a small sub-loom that can be replaced by simply plug and play with a new socket attached?
  16. Can you not just do it one wire at a time making sure you have orientation correct?
  17. Yes made to order, whatever you want -there's an enquiry form on the website, or just pick up the phone. For a firm like this, a prop is a prop is a prop, you can make it fit anything.
  18. Convection currents would help a lot with that.
  19. The JCB hydrogen thing was very interesting.... Good for large sites at the moment, I'd suggest, as need fueling on site, but otherwise great.
  20. The multiple connectors and bulbs go into the shifter base, and the twin and single are the cigar lighter socket -I think, in both cases.
