  1. My thinking behind dipping it was that I intend to weld large areas , often in the fiddly places where th grinder cant get, and I didnt know if I would then have to re drill all the holes after its secong galving..... I was looking for the easy option!
  2. Can anyone suggest the correct procedure for removing the galvanising from a galved land rover chassis? I presume its possible by dipping it in some form of acid? I have a 90 with a galvanised chassis that I have hacked about and needs a rebuild, as I cant afford a new chassis at the moment (and this one has been galvanised from new) I was hoping to get it stripped to bare metal, do the work and then worry about the re-finish later on.
  3. There were some late 300tdi 90 hardtops released as '50th anniversary' models too. I didnt realise the Heritage was a '50th' model, I thought it was released closer to yr2000, but it say it was on Wiki
  4. I sold one last month on ebay, in similar condition, for £247!! I had people messaging from france etc
  5. Goodrowes in Chichester, there was a large selection there, they just cut it off the roll for you
  6. Somebody is having fun More photos here The first picture looks like it was taken mid roll, but apparently not! I definitely wouldnt want to be the one attatching the strop
  7. I am currently fencing along side a very wet/muddy bridleway (which I think has vehicle access to a house at the end), yesterday I saw a tesco delivery van go up the bridleway to access the house, shortly afterwards a couple of people came along moving large logs etc into the track to stop any vehicle going through. This morning I arrived at work nice and early just in time to see the same log moving people take a detour into the field, to avoid the mud that is in the bridleway the muddy bridleway is clearly caused by horses and foot traffic. These people that complain do not see that they are equally capable of causing damage and of being in the wrong. There is a well worn track,even horse tracks, trampling through a hedge and about 10-15 metres into the field. I ve even been told by the land owner that they once caught a couple of ladies in their 70's cutting through a newly installed wire fence 'because it blocked the track' they had come armed with wire cutters ....... the 'track' was a deer run that they had presumed was a footpath!
  8. trade plates could be an option. The seller has cancelled his insurance so is unable to tax it himself. The safest option is that i'll have to take two trips..... trailer costs Vs train ticket and a weeks wait
  9. Thanks guys There are plenty of ANPR cameras along the way, I just wanted to know the legality of it, its not something I am prepared to take the risk on. I ll have to have a re-think
  10. I am looking at buying a discovery, its far enough away from me that I would like to take cash with me to (hopefully) buy it and take it there and then. Its MOTed but not taxed.... Am I legally allowed to drive it home if i have the new keeper section of the V5 and other documents? My only day off is sunday so going straight to a post office isnt an option. I have tried a quick google but it hasnt really helped! I dont have a trailer either, any other options for getting it home? many thanks
  11. I havent oiled it. I had a good look at all the mechanisms, they seemed to be working properly and freely but that is definitely worth a try!! If not, is it possible to buy just the latch (the part that drops over the striker)? I presume I can get them somewhere, but any ideas what the part number is? or the correct technical name for it so that i can phone round!!
  12. Hi, As the title says.... my push button door keeps flying open even on a straight stretch of road it seems to 'pop' open. I have tried adjusting the door on its hinges, as well as adjusting the catch/striker. Does anyone have an other suggestions before I order replacement bits? Are there any specific parts prone to wearing? (springs etc?) If not, does anyone have an exploded diagram of the door and internals, and part numbers? Many thanks
  13. Slightly OT but THIS website has some useful info, not axle weights but has track widths/ground clearance etc
