Came across this one at about 90 quid, fair point about getting it up there though.

A little bit OT but I am looking for a towing bracket mounted scooter carrier for my LR and other 4X4.
There seem to be several out there for motorhomes but seem hugely over engineered for a 90 kilo scooter.
I know I could fab something using tube like this US type, just wondering where to start in terms of materials, I think it needs to be steel, just looking for a balance between strength and weight.
.Any thoughts appreciated!

Just some bearings, Ashcroft do a diy bearing kit if you have a look on their site. Don't know about the gearchange, I had a V8 90 from nearly new, seem to remember 3rd gear nearly hit the radio and 4th gear was almost in the cubby box.

Of all the lr's I have owned I wished I had kept my (SXF) series one

Guys, just the advice I was looking for cheers.
Fridge, I bow to your superior knowledge, after I've spent too much time faffing with a spray gun, i'll revert to the old brush and olive drab!!!
Point taken about the 80 grit, will leave that for just repair spots. - if I'm just flatting/keying old paint and not going to bare metal, do I just put the high build straight onto that? and miss out the etch layer?
The panels are many different colours some of the paint is better than other bits, so I'll play it by ear.
I've got a new door and 2 extra wings I can practice on before I hit the truck properly, I've got a double garage which I was planning on building a booth in one corner. was going to hook up an old radiator fan for some ventilation.
With regard to paint supply, has anyone got any reccomendations?

I use enamel paint, but there are plenty of other options.

If it had the number it could have been stolen anyway, you have no way of checking. Ebay, car boot sales, classifieds etc will always have stolen goods guaranteed.
-
As a novice you are best off selecting a single panel and going through the whole process on just that panel. If you are a natural bodyworker it will look great, chances are that it will look carp and you will have learnt enough to do a fine job on the rest of the truck.

So are we all agreed, the best place for a diesel is in a tractor.
Hat, coat etc.

To me converting a v8 to diesel would be about the same as hearing that Kelly Brook was having a sex change.

Anybody got any thoughts on using this 40 litre tank?

If you run a dedicated 12v to your radio which doesn't touch any other circuits you won't blow the fuse.
Suggest a 3A fuse would be suitable.
-
These 240v tubular heaters start at £25 and are IP64 rated - bit easier to mount neatly behind the seats. I bought one last winter but it is still in the box somewhere.

It might be a revival but nothing has changed.
JC - nice bit of history even if you haven't mentioned your own participation in most of these publications!

i have a compressor 150ltr 2h.p 7.5a .and i hava a genarator cassoline 5.5h.p 230v 3A on normal plugs 3 PLUGS SINGLE PHASE + 1 PLUG 3 PHASE but the compressor isn`t working when i plug it on a normal plug of the genrator. the compressor is 230v and i`m scared to plug it on the big plug of the generator because it has 400v 16a what can i do pls?
The compressor definitely will not work on a 3A supply since it is drawing 7.5A! If the 3 phase supply has a neutral then then you could tap 230v between one phase and neutral but this will create a (very) unbalanced load and will overheat the alternator.
In simple terms - You have a 3 phase generator, very useful if you need it, for example for a 3 phase lathe. It is no use to you. Sell it on ebay and buy a single phase generator.

Didn't the Discovery make it Canada? If so there should be plenty of them in the breakers yards.
Incidentally the mondeo went by a different name in North Amercia - Wiki says Ford Contour or Mystique. Worth a look.

You could consider electroplating them, have a look http://www.frost.co.uk/automotive-electroplating/brilliant-nickel-module-5-litres.html . More expensive than paint but looks very professional, no good for long things though.
-
Try to remember that it is still a Concept car (look it up if you do not know what that is), not even a prototype. The finnished product could look quite different.
The only flaw is that the LRX concept vehicle gave birth to the evoque, they look very similar. (if you can bear to look at it long enough to make the comparison)

On the cooling front I have somewhere a custom made radiator to fit a series with double thick core..

Plastic resin, probably phenol based. Same as snooker balls.

Don't let a 4x4 is born confuse you. It is an entertainment programme not a bible.
Apart from anything else he bought all his suspension components from a now defunct supplier of substandard parts.

Shade 9 is recommended. Still can't see much.

Home Delivery Network (ex Littlewoods) now known as Yodel since they bought DHL domestic now has over 35% of the "business to consumer market". You won't be able to get away from them...

I would have thought that Australia, with it's fierce independence streak, would have been able to resist this rush to mediocrity.
Perhaps it is time to educate, organize and lobby, perhaps the mining companies would be a starting point? If they are limited in what they can drive it may have a competitive disadvantage?
Or try and get a SVA/IVA type exception in the legislation?
Sorry for the rant, but this sort of nonsense really upsets me, do you know that the EU are starting down the road to ban motorbikes? Because they are unsafe.
