Well the bits I keep breaking are the custom parts. I was going to change the engine, but after thinking about it I am still left with all the custom parts. I was offered a GM V8 diesel and kit to fit, £250. So I have decided to its either back to a manual, all standard parts or sell it as it is. Paul

Will do as soon as I decide what I am doing. Do you have the props aswell? Paul

Thanks for that. The winch works, but needs thePRV setting higher to get it pulling more. Just finding someone to do it. Do you have the transfer box as well? Is it a 1.6? I may take you up on the offer. Need to do some thinking first. Paul

Right, here we go. As most of you know my 110 is fitted with a 3 speed auto. It was, am I led to believe one of 10-12 that were converted for Southern Electric board. It’s never been fast 60 tops, nor will it ever be as it’s a LR. It was fitted with the 200TDi by the last owner. Here lies the problem, as it’s an auto most things that go with the auto box are custom made. So I am thinking of changing it back to a manual. In the name of more speed (not a lot) as it is not good on hills. Also it will be easier to get parts for. I have never got the winch to work with enough power as it should, it will pull 2.5T and that’s it. It’s a hydraulic pto driven Superwinch 525. So thats coming off as well. So here are the questions, 1, How much would the winch be worth? 2, How much for parts to convert back to a manual? (will need clutch master cylinder and peddle as well). 3, How much would the 3 speed auto box, with all bits be worth? 4, How much is the conversion plate worth? 5, Should I do it or not? Paul

I can not answer that as I do not know sorry. But if you email Jon viathe Way Finder website he can tell you. Paul

Theres one called track explorer to hit the shops soon. Just does what you mate is planning. Paul

Well I live less that 2 miles from the place and Iwould not go there for an engine. Paul

Well Ihave been reading about this stuff http://www.bilthamber.co.uk/corrosionremoval.html Its ment to be good for rust and paint. Paul

Thats the one I have, works very well. Not sure about waterproof as mine is on the dash on the inside. Paul

The info I got back. Paul

Was thinking of having a bid on it as I asked and it is a true 6x6. Paul

Well someone on another forum PM me the price for one almost the same. 2.8td fitted. He wanted £1000, I told him it was over priced. Paul

I use a normal laptop for MM and it has lasted a long time. Tough Books are great, but as you sayalot of money. If its just for running mapping software then just get a good 2nd one. Standard laptops would be fine in the support trucks. Paul

The one I have is, PN 0905-4491 input 100 - 240v ~1630mA50/60hz output : +32v 1100ma lps +16v 1600ma It takes a standard "kettel" lead. Paul

let me have the part number as I have a brand new one that I got a for a friend and they never cam back for it. Its got the 3 pin funny end on it. Ipaid about £35 for it. I will try to dig it out later. Paul

An it got 2 new dents as well. Paul

My mate has this one 6 weeks old and hes dented it alreadey. But its £300 a year to tax, but got the dealer to pay for the first 12 months. Paul

This is the thing I am looking for, Paul

Any pics? No it wants to come out of the top of the wing. Yes some thing like that, just a same I have the rest of it, just need the bit that goes through the wing. I will end up changeing the one for the side of the wing and putting it on the top. Paul

Hes not got back to me as yet, but I do know he will be at Sodbury. Paul

I did find them on ebay, but its not what I am looking for. I have just spent 45 mins searching for a pic of what I want, but can not find one. Paul

I have seen them, but thats not what I am looking for. I amgoing for a roll cage after christmas so I want one that goes in the top of the wing and not on the corner or side. So I do not have to move it when the chage is fitteds. Looks like I will have to make one. Paul

Sorry but Dave who? Paul

I am not sure about this, but if you ordered a new welder from the UK then as its going to Ireland then you would not have to pay the full vat off-setting the cost of shipping. Paul

By any chance was i a Britpart one? As the same thing happened to mine. In the end I got another make. Paul
