A few more pics Getting some help from a certain silver 100"

So google I wasn't far off then

EN10255 blueband 48 x 3.2 is 3.57 kg/m, Redband 48 x 4.0 is 4.34 kg/m

I'm in the market for a tidy pillar drill for metalwork, any recomendations based on personal experience? My criteria so far is: Floor mounted 13mm chuck, maybe even jacobs/morse taper 230v 13amp variable speed, with very slow speed for hole sawing through steel It needs a proper engineering bolt down vice i'd like to get plenty of years use out of it so don't say Clarke Budget about £3/400

There's a horizontal row of rivets along top of the wheel box top section into the rear pannel, a couple down the side of the wheel box and then a bunch down through the floor pannel into the rear body crossmember. Hope this helps

Try ebay and it should be less than £5, at least that's what i paid for mine, and it works great.

I shall be there armed with my camera again, as it was indeed a great event last year.

My pleasure Nick. Some of my pictures

A couple of videos, Pictures to follow once i sort them out

Open June, July, Aug, but not fully open due to wind farm construction at the top end.

Another vote for the Prime Tech tent, I've had one for a couple of years and it has surved some horid weather including a big storm on the seafront on the Faroe Isles. The transport cover is starting to get a bit frayed but isn't a big problem.

Si, you need to make yourself a manual tyre machine, very simple to make, and even esier to use, mine in action And use the hi lift trick for breaking the bead, or even as i do, use the press in the garage, with a special home made attachment.

There's an intersting video by some bloke called Dave lang Also keep an eye out for Kit Car cisis on discovery shed, Bettle crisis and also camper van crisis. All very good programmes even if not LR related.

I ditched the batery box completely on my 100" so it'll never rust out, the batery now sits on a metal frame which bolts over the chassis rail (like on lorries etc) underneath the passengers seat.

A big hydraulic press

A big hydraulic press, the bigger the better.

I've fitted both disco and rangy classic seats into defenders, I have RRC in my everyday defender and must say they are very comfy, and even have arm rests

You'll need to source an oil cooler and pipework for the auto box aswell.

I've bought £k's of parts from paddocks over the years and haven't got a bad word to say about them, they'll get plenty more orders from me. And yes, i always specify top spec parts, not the cheap stuff, and they are often still cheaper than my local Bearmach even with trade discount

I've got solid steel, alloy wheel nuts fitted to my 1984 RRC axles, standard land rover nuts for that model i think.

Your diagnosis what right, it looks like that relay had stuck, i gave it a quick thump and seems to be working again Cheers

It does, yes. I'll dig out the multimeter and have a poke around.

Thats what i thought but like i said in my original post, i've tried this There is a circuit board in there, but i've got no idea what any of the bits on there are Time for a grown up to look at it i think
