i have just had all of my dash off and there was no main earth for the wiring loom, i had a simaler problem but my heater light came on nothing worked but if it went out things came back on my problem was the earth on the starter motor and i have now made a new earth for the loom as well i now have a new problem that my indicators work with out the ignishion on but i can live with that. unless any one can point me in the right direction

i had my 90 MOT'd class 7 was £5 more but i'm lucky as i've been at the same MOT station since i had my LDV400

i have an old water fire extisher with a tyre valve in it, fill it with the oil i need pump it up pull the triger oil in if not a bit fast

my 90 brakes evenly with standard valve, MOT test shows almost the same backing force 450 front 400rear

thay look nice

let us know how you get on would be something all us farmers would have an intrest in i'm shore

i have movered my tow bar to the same place, there was crush tubes on all three sets of holes i moved mine up as when RTVing it was hitting every stone and bump i have had to fit a drop plate to the sliding bit as it was to high for towing my caravan

i would have thort with not too much work it would be possable to get a disco or defender to pass yes not hard to get it wrong with red these days

on scrap heap racers many years ago one team (barly pickers i think) built a fastrac like with a lorry cab and had that regestered agricultural, so maybe if you went down the line of SVA/IVA you may be able to get it reclassified

i've been looking at me father inlaws 300tdi and it uses the n/a mounts and the down pipe misses so i'm looking at my 300auto and think i can get it to fit without any problems if i had the money i'd buy a gav chassis with 300 brackets as it's not a mod thay should need IVA/SVA

just had my paper work come £263 fully comp on each of the 90 and 110 +£20 on each for RAC cover(£40 for RAC cover didn't seem too bad, still cheaper then standered cover) thay did want £326 for TPFT

when you were in there did you think any of the other pistons would come out the bottom

my 1983-4 had front and rear shock mounts

i use the shell Romula 15/40 in the engines of my land rovers and tractors and harvella in the backends

when towing my caravan i never go over 50mph (mainly as the other half starts screeming) but did have a hairy moment 2 years ago then i got thrown right on the A38 by the lorry ruts but slowing when a wag starts can be hard to get right

it most likly the fact that most farmers have all there insurance with NFU and pay 4 figers+ so can give a better price

i'm hoping this will do my 90 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200555319249&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp4712.m570.l1313%26_nkw%3D200555319249%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

i did them on my 90 thay were £100 and thay were gavanised would think thayed be simaler price

big ends arent a bad job i do it on my tractors all the time if you can find some one who can regrind the crank, it's just a case of taking the engine out taking sump off and poping the crank out and down to have reground new shells and put it back together oil pump may want looking at just incase thats corsed the problem

and telling them the older ones are easyer to take

is he looking for indoor or outdoor storage

they put mine up £20 but after a phone call i cot it back down to what it was last year, but Insurance is going up because of personal injury clames

i have the same desistion to make i've just got a 300tdiauto, and can't make my mind up on weather to fit the new engine and box or keep with the old one(my old LT77 is neckered), i have to replace master & slave cyinder every 2-3 years but have just fitted new 6 months ago from who i've talked to im on: auto - 5 manual - 3

if the head dosn't need skimming you should be able to get it done in 4-6hrs

it is a bodge but you could cemical metal the joints in would get you going have done this on tractor PTO's when the new ones are far to dear they are still going
