  1. A little something i knocked up a while ago from a few bits of wood and an old car jack Certainly makes removing and refiting a diff very easy, simply place the diff on the top of the device, slide it under the vehicle, wind the handle and up it goes Definately beats lying on your back with a diff on your chest
  2. Ill be happy if my scaled down landy turns out to be half as good as that one
  3. Does anyone know for sure which terminals are which on this motor ? I already have a 3 terminal + earth setup similar to this (but all black wires) but am unsure about which wire goes where on the new motor Ta
  4. huh Is this the case with all auto TDi's ? I do 70 something on a daily basis and would like it to stay that way Sounds like a good idea with all these mixed opinions
  5. For anyone who has one, what are auto box diesels like to live with ON road? I know that auto box's works great off road, but are there any on road drawbacks ? fuel economy, power delivery etc etc
  6. Any one got any info or pics of where and how to mount the front hoop of a Range Rover roll cage to the chassis ? Thanks
  7. I'll ask in work if you like, what thickness do you want?, we've got 6 - 50mm plate and a CNC Profile Burner B) B)
  8. I love the string for opening the door handle classic bodge
  9. I used 50 x 6 flat bar bend into a U for my pin/eye coverters
  10. Excellent link, it looks like i can get everything i need from there to make it work Time to spend some more money and get the Onoard Air finished Cheers
  11. Thats a great link, thanks Still unsure of how to control the automatic on/off of the pump
  12. This weekend i finally made a start of my Onboard air install. The plan is to mount a tank (or two) under the rear floor, and use an electric compressor to fill it. I've got the compressor mounted in the landy but am unsure how to plumb it to the tank Ideally, i'd like it to come on and off by itself at preset presures (the same as my compressor in the garage does) Is there any way i can do this ? I'm using a compressor from my TruckAir which only has a manual on/off switch. Another question is what pressure should i keep the tank at ? I'm only going to be using it for airing up tyres, and operating the ARB locker. Any usefull advice welcome B)
  13. I bought an el cheapo Armstrong steering damper yesterday (£16) as i'm changing from the Range Rover setup under the diff to a defender setup at the chassis in front of the axle. I put an Armstrong steering damper on the vehicle about 9 months ago and is still in perefect working order (just a bit battered )
  14. Due to getting muddy water in the temperature sender connection, the guage was reading nearly in the red which got me a bit concerned
  15. Thanks, i put the fitting in this evening, just got to finish building the rest of the diff, and then rebuild the axle
  16. Almost certainly panhard rod or steering damper
  17. Ah reet, that could explain why Sarn is blocked (illegally )
  18. I would offer to help, but i'll be marshalling at 7S that weekend
  19. Whats on there ? I've been told that the access via Sarn Helen, through Banwen is currently blocked
  20. It means they are writing a reply for that thread

This is how i got my Q-plate Build a vehicle using varoius donor parts and a modified chassis DVLA give me a new chassis number Book an SVA test with VOSA Get vehicle SVA'd Get vehicle MOT'd DVLA check where i got parts from DVLA issue Q-plate Simple as that (takes a few weeks to do as DVLA aren't known for being on the ball )
