in fairness if it is series one bits craddock should be fairly safe,i stand to be corrected but do britpart do series one parts?they seem to supply the volume parts and series is now a bit specialist.

will try and do pics when a suitable teenager shows me how to do it!my son should be home this evening.

we have a maxx raxx,bought 5 years ago second hand,very robust.

the market dictates prices,plenty of rusty knackered doors about,but if you want decent or very good you have to pay the money,any one tried to find good second row 110 doors recently?

with regards to the nfu,i have been with them for 17 years,had a couple of claims,they are excellent to deal with,very helpful,unlike tesco insurance,ask me how i know!the nfu are not competative on normal cars though but i still rate them for landrover insurance.

when i worked the lox plant we used to fill oxy cylenders for the welder from stanley,used to pay with chilean red wine,happy days.

with the work you have put in i would want a very large cash deposit before you let it out of your sight

scarey ralph,i know a game keeper literally round the corner from there with a 110 double cab,phone call me thinks.

for your purpose the chassis are near identical,when i have shortened them i make up a sectionabout 12" long that fits snug inside the chassis rail box section like which works well spreading the load,i leave a 10mm gap when i pull the two halves back together,this leaves a nice area to weld,then finish off with plates around the outside.

to further this,as well as the oxford mig i have an mta 201 ac/dc tig welder built by the same factory,that also is very good.

as well as portamig look at oxford migmaker,built by the same people in york,i bought one 2 years ago,very happy with it,speak to gary at mig,tig&arc,in hampshire,they will supply anywhere in the country,highly recomended.

reading this makes me giggle nige,i am 46,the instructor i had last year at colchester was 25 and a demon welder,i found tig to be addictive,we have an mta 201 ac/dc set at home and i too use tig now where i would just have used mig before.

they shift a massive amount of stock at the shows from what i have seen,bought from them mail order but that was years ago.

i am real lucky,600 sqr ft,brickbuilt,power roller door and lecy,£10 per week,thats on a farm in suffolk.

my mate had one mated to an lt77s a few years ago,it worked but soon knackered the box due to the torque the engine produces,although he did a lot of towing with it,i am sure you know but 380=380nm of torque which the r380 is rated to handle.

i did a year at colchester institute last year,level 1,mig,tig,mma.all in the flat,this was one night theory one night practical for 36 weeks,did it with my son,thoroughly enjoyed it,passed all with distinction,tig was only on mild steel and stainless,cost me £960 !.my son is doing level 2 which as nige says is vertical,i couldn,t do year 2as i had an impending op on my shpulder which i knew was going to take 3 months to recover from,i would encourage anyone with an interest to enrol and learn from proffesionals.

my mate has a discovery he is breaking,will see if i can get the filler off it.

if you find the marine type filler and give me dimensions of required panel i am sure i can fold you one up out of aluminium.

i have been lokking at the viability of fitting a series 2a ambulance rear body on a 110 to build a camper,any one have any experience of this please,chris.

really sorry to read this,and such a waste,hope you get your value sorted.

will try and load pics,might have to email if i can,t work out how to do it on here.

quaife did torque bias,ing and plate type diffs for land rovers,popular with comp safari boys,worth a look i would have thought.

if you want a walk round tyre changer i have one for sale,as new done 6 tyres,does not have a built in bead breaker but i have one for sale,same as truck tyre fitters use,only done 6 tyres.

haven,t found the weight but what about a ssangyong/daewoo korando,the 2.9 td is not that bad a towing motor.................gets hat and coat and running shoes.

all wheel trim sell them,they will only charge a little for carriage.
