The challenge with these is that new batteries are hard to find. Still these are good value considering a sonim is 400 quid.

Joseph Lucas, probably the man most responsible for the collapse of the British motor industry. How could one man (or company) undo 100 years of successful innovation?
This was how he did it:
Lucas signed a deal with Bosch,Delco, Ducellier, Magnetti Marelli etc agreeing that they they would not compete in each other's home market. Lucas signed a deal with the only other British competitor (Smiths) that they would not compete in each other's market.
Now Lucas had a complete monopoly, if you manufactured cars or motorbikes from the late 50's onwards you could only buy from the Prince of Darkness. The export markets died along with the motor industry.

Wouldn't the last bit (rear x member & extension) be saleable?

I agree in principle that the correct fuses should be in place. Although you should bear in mind that fuses are there to protect the wiring not the bulb/motor etc.
From experience I have often found that washer motor fuses are often rated low - about 5A and that it is worth moving up a bit (7.5A). Other than that I would stick to original specs.

Why ?
please explain ?
"wouldn't work" was probably a poor choice of words. You will need a zf from a rr for the bellhousing and output to go with the jag box. Of course a compushift for the electronics and some way of reading the electronic speedo.

From my limited knowledge the ZFHP24 is a bigger and stronger electronic version of the ZFHP22. Pulling one off a jag or bmw won't work since ZF made a number of variations to suit different applications.

For the non-professional the brand does not make a lot of difference, it seems that most of the cheaper ones are the same with different stickers on. The 4x4 one I have releases very quickly so is similar to the above ones mentioned and cost about 40 pounds.

Problem solved...

Address The green caravan in that nice field you would never get planning permission on now filled with utter £$%^.
That would work.

I don't think you can run an old lr and not be willing to sort out the "lucas, prince of darkness electrics" yourself. An auto electrician is around 80 pounds per hour.
You will have two types of problem in my experience, firstly bad earth and secondly the bodges by previous owners. Not difficult to sort but very time consuming.

Just about to replace the standard radius arms with qt castor corrected which I have had for about 4 years on a couple of vehicles.
Is it worth changing them or should I sell off the (now rather rusty) qt arms?

The safest way to change a wheel with the emergency kit found in most cars is on the road.
On a busy A road with an off side flat I wouldn't hesitate to call the traffic police. The likes of ATS who replace truck tyres on the road are supposed to do this for all off side wheels, the only hassle is that they may not be able to turn up for a long time.

The unladen weight of a disco 1 is around 2100kgs which is about the capacity of a 2600kg trailer, so not much to spare there.
If your disco has a roll cage and winches you will soon be up to needing a 3000kg trailer.
There are other factors to consider apart from weight: number of axles, flatbed or sides, tilting body or ramps, length of loadspace etc.

Yup
I have a "Table Top" Diswasher, bit like a large microwave, ebay £30 and superb as a good size so not as to hog room
I have a hose connected to the inlet, and by the door, just then connect to the outside hose, and the drain hose into a bucket
Superb

Who is this person called Bige?

I just unbolt the axle end, then the chassis end, then take it off. No jacking but I do chock the wheels. Refitting is harder because the axle will need rotating to line up the bolts.
-
The bracket could be made from a length of box section welded on with a hole in the top for the pin/bush.
-
I think you will need to make some brackets for the pins on the bottom of the radiator to go in since these are welded the chassis.

These two parts aren't permanently connected (552097 and 504620), the pedal has to move a bit before one pushes the next. Worth double checking it is all put together correctly.

Not sure understand why +5" dampers and +2" turrets would be better than +3" dampers with standard turrets? Surely the articulation would be the same.

Or even easier just copy and paste the url like I just done
it automatically creates a link (in firefox anyway,not sure about microsoft etc)

DELL XT2 XFR, had mine a few months now, you can pick em up from eblag with DELL warranty, mine has 5Gb RAM, 64GB Solid State hard drive, runs Windows 7 and is my carryaround office.
Would not be without it even in this iPad world.
Great bit of kit. Never seen them below £1200 so not that cheap.

Virtually any laptop/tablet/netbook/umpc wil do the job. How much you want to spend is the first question.
I have a couple, one a military spec tablet running W2K with a 10" screen, the other a 5" ulramobilepc running windows 7. The umpc has a windscreen mount which makes life loads easier.

I cannot spot any very obvious MOT failures from the pictures, have you been to see it then? What will it fail on? Did the engine sound OK?
I suppose there might be sharp edges on the rust patches...

I think the fact that you can see the grass through the holes in the footwell would be a start...

You are right that you can unbolt the swivels to get the diff out(3rd member over there).

I reckon most of us have been there. My usual problem is all the red stuff leaking from my fingera.

True, but a used battery will not hold the charge like a new one.
