I have a complete uj with a new uj if your interested Steve

See You Try Here Steve

Nige We use kemppie machines alot - try rapid welding supplies HERE we use them for our service and supplies etc They tend to deal with the trade - but are quite close to you and well worth a try HTH Steve

Rob Henry Potter and Boxalls are different companies - HP is more of a service/repair place - he is a little rough and ready but know's LR's IMHO Boxalls use to do service/repairs but now only supply spares - hes not as cheap as paddocks but can get anything you need Hope this helps Steve

I hav used him for bits and pieces - very good has lots of old stuff there Or try Henry Potter at West Dean - even more old fashioned and maybe cheaper HERE Also chichester 4 x 4 are very good They all know land rovers inside out Steve

Nige You have such a good way with words ! Steve

Simon Tempted but a bit far for me and also trying to get mine welded and MOT'd and fixed after the Slindon RTV and challange! Steve

Easy to fit Works well - much better than the standard unit No cleaning drum out Easy to adjust All round much better than the original BTW I have no connection with X Eng other than I brought one 2-3 years ago and never looked back or regretted ! Steve

I've recently done this on mine when clocking a drop pto Made mine from a TD and TDI straight through - noisy but sounds to biz ! Heres a LINK Steve

The dimple thing is becoming popular in construction - we are starting to use it alot in stair treads and landings etc Steve

Nice work Paul Interested in your shot blasting not polishing the fairlead - I had a similar problem I got shot blasted by mistake - very harshly SA2.5 but managed to get to a satin finish using scotch bright and loads of elbo grease Of course after a few uses the plasma polishes it anyway Steve

Great pictures and countryside - thanks Steve

Thanks for the replies I will have to have a closer look - it appears to have sprayed out rather than boiled - I have recently replaced the pressurised hoses so don't think its that side. Also Mr Fridge as us say the hose will be as cheap as chips so will replace them and the clips Thanks Steve

My power steering has leaked - looks like the pipes - but not on the pressurised side I've not had chance to have a proper look yet I completed in a trial and challenge at Slindon a couple of weeks ago - always hard on a car and was away skiing last week Anyway I managed to get well and truly stuck and could not move the steering at all at one point. After this the steering was working fine though I washed the car a put it in the garage that night Later in the week I had a look at it to find a pool of hydraulic oil under the car - it appeared to be coming from the larger pipe from the hose from reservoir to pump from both hoses But does not appear to have split - the hoses are only held on with jubilee clips - and it’s not leaked anymore and the power steering seems to work fine So anybody got an idea whets happened ? - is there a major problem ? Any input would be appreciated Steve

Heres mine Before After Steve

This is how I done mine Have a Look Here Steve

Have done this on mine - its loud but sounds great! See HERE This is not my dayley drive only a toy so I'm not that bothered Disco 200tdi conversion I used the steve parker front downpipe, part of the old TD and then a front downpipe from a TD turned around cut and shut and then part of a 200TDI out of the side. Steve

Yes I think its 55 dia external - but can't check! Steve

I thought this was going to happen! Shame I really did enjoy wandering around the old sod Steve

Very good 1st post ! ................ its good to have a smile!

Nigel Theres one in Lavant near chichester - found on wet roads and also went there on Sunday after the trial at Brick Kiln to wash my tyres off - did'nt drive the whole length though but know where it comes out the Chi end wanted to check it 1st and did'nt have much time on sunday I know the area very well spent my childhood playing in the general area and getting wet in the river ! and only went for the 1st time last sunday Its running fairly quick at the moment Steve

Yep thats great news but it won't be £ 5 to get in thats for sure Steve

Tommer Thanks At the moment I'm using police spec RR springs all round great for off road - but not so good on road - I have a set of OME H/D springs that I intend to fit on the front end when I have the time Steve

Hi and welcome - what Nige says really I also have a H14 pto winch - they do not seem so popular these days for the challenge trucks anyway but if set up correctly are a very powerful and robust winch I clocked the pto and used 20 mm bar for the rods because we have tons of it! with a machined end for superwinch UJ on drop pto and defender steering UJ's every where else - 2 no works a treat See Details of the install here Also - HTH Steve

Heres a link to the full details HBLRO WEBSITE I hope to be there Steve
