  1. Yes, granted it's an occasional use item, but you would have comeback if it were not to work in the next 5 years. Eeek, there now £540! Steve
  2. Yes, I liked that mod! It may make an appearance when I get my garage sorted! Steve
  3. Well it's been a year! I consulted a brick layer and got them to build a retaining wall. The breeze block on it's side method was used. I have slowly been filling it with rubble, well neatly stacking bricks in the hole and trying to fit all the big bits together and filling the gaps with the small stuff. This weekend just gone I filled in the top with a bit of ballast and it's about ready to concrete over. To make the level of the concrete the same as the lawn, once it is laid one row of bricks will be showing. Thinking about drainage, I was going to drill a few holes through the exposed row of bricks. I also thought about adding a couple small square drains (like this: https://www.toolstation.com/square-hopper-110mm/p71607?store=LH&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googleshoppingfeed&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAopuvBhBCEiwAm8jaMT3E3sD8rUBwRaieOoOWhTdn9hIDHqePRqUnpeaPAq3JMraDs5zwyRoCOCoQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) in the concrete pour as the rubble/hardcore seems to drain well. The weathers still a bit wet at the moment and so I will move onto the shed design and work out final dimensions and how I'm going to build it. Steve
  4. We are talking about this style of bandsaw: https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/cbs45md-41-2in-x-6in-metal-cutting-ban/ A lot of people have got this style of bandsaw that cuts in the horizontal and vertical positions and so is very handy for all sorts of cutting. There have been a lot of 'improvement' articles on the web, one of which I can't seem to find! I seem to recall @Anderzander asking me to let him know when I find it again, but I never have! Last week this popped up on YouTube and thought it was worth sharing! So I thought people could add to this thread with any tips they have, or any useful articles they have found. Steve
  5. Hi, I did the same on my Racer here: It's meant to be a link to page 10, but not sure if it's directing correctly.....Ah, clicking the very top part works! I did a bit of trial error with a multimeter, to find out what wires did what, but I didn't document unfortunately. It's a good mod, I'm tempted to do it to the 90, but there are loads of other jobs that have priority first! Steve
  6. Could this be what you're looking for? https://www.jgs4x4.co.uk/discovery-2-td5-injector-pipe-o-ring/ https://www.lrdirect.com/stc4509-o-ring Hmm, this link shows a picture and that's not what you require, unless the part number is the same. https://britishlandroverparts.be/o-ring-fuel-regulator-td5-stc4509 I've also seen this too: https://www.pioneer4x4.com/product/fuel-line-kit-for-land-rover-discovery-2-2-1998-2004-td5/ Steve
  7. A cheap set would probably do the job. If however, space is tight with limited arc of movement to undo the nut (Is it injector pipe removal?), you may want to consider the exact size from Snap-On, as the offset from square drive to crows foot flats is different when you flip it over. I found it particularly useful and essential when removing injector pipes on a lion V6! For reference, I already had a cheap set, but bought one 17mm crows foot from Snap-On for circa £17. Steve
  8. I thought that maybe the case. I'll carry on the search. Steve
  9. I've found a set of Michelin truck tyres on Facebook market place: They are X-force tyres 335/80 R20 (12.5/R20). Located in East sussex. These again could be too hard and not pliable enough. Nothing to do we me, just found them on facebook. Steve
  10. No, this is a good thing! More content for the forum!
  11. I also have Sealey brand like yours Bowie. It's more sturdy, but also the range of height seems to be better on this design, lower entry and all out better height. Great for Land Rover and normal cars! Steve
  12. I thought this was a call out for people to get things printed! I have something that requires 3D printing, but luckily someone at work has a 3D printer! A cup holder? One of those drill bit stands that stores all your drills in size order. a pen tray for a wall calendar. Steve
  13. NoniMouse: Lamb lair: Is this another name for the site at West Harptree which JST used to use for the Scott Williams Memorial Winch challenge? That's a great side! Very hilly and undulating, but great! Seven Sisters could be used every other year or just less per year to reduce the damage! Going back to the old style Howling Wolf (which is making a comeback this year) which 10 or more years ago only had 35's and truck cabs, no space frames and 40 inch tyres! Steve
  14. This is sad news. I hope the land heals quickly and can be open in the future. At least I (and the many people who have been) have many good memories of Seven Sisters. I particularly like the time when I broke my rear propshaft driving up the waterfall (down at the washing machine, which is now closed) and Pieres Buglar said: 'Oh, I saw some prop shafts in the bushes back up at the car park'...........A few hours later I had successfully fitted part of the 'bush shaft' and I was back in 4wd on the Sunday.
