A useful tip if using ramps is to rap a length of carpet around the bottom rung to drive onto before the ramp stopping it pushing away. I have a long reach 3 ton jack with 3 ton axle stands which gets the axle a good height off the ground.

Mine is my old CB handle, plumber by trade, An old friend suggested after I got married that my son should be Drain cock and the then wife Stop cock.

Rothenberger make quality equipment, just make sure that the torch has an adjustable flame as one version of their torch doesn't. They will take both gas bottles but as said, the mapp gas is hottest. As a plumber I have been using mapp gas for years regularly and would not bother with anything else. The torches can be used for brazing and silver solder which mine often get used for. There are also a range of nozzles available for different uses and spares if needed The biggest problem I have found with Rothenberger version is they snap by the base of the burner if dropped and hit the tip. This may be a safety point but gets expensive to replace so I currently use a cheaper brand which works just as well.

I wouldn't think it is the brake switch if they only come on with the headlights. As Steve b has just posted do the sidelights illuminate with the brake pedal? I would suspect wires melted together from the welding or no earth at the rear so the supply back feeds through both filaments to find an earth path. I would run a temporary earth to the rear to eliminate that possibility. good luck and what a great looking motor.

These pumps start under full throttle as normal, it appears yours is sticking open. A common problem, there are a number of posts on here covering it.

I thought they were there to stand on to get better access under the bonnet. 🤔

I used a hammer and dolly, then a "G" clamp with wooden blocks but mine were ally.

I'm looking forward to it, the club I am with had booked a stand last year so it was carried over for this year. I haven't been to the off road site before, but the previous show there was excellent I was told.

I have fitted Disco 1 seats in the rear of my 110 I didn't need to modify the wheel boxes. They fold forward against the front seats I made a frame to mount the original hinges to and a box section frame to act as the rear legs. The one problem I had was the door handles would foul the seat back when laying flat so I replaced the plastic handles with straps.

That was an interesting topic. Mine still works fine but little chance of finding a replacement if it goes.

They may be E marked but not for UK. if that is E8 that covers the Czech Republic which is left hand drive I believe.

Welcome to the forum, I am just over the mountain from you. What money pit do you own?

Well it will fit in a multi storey car park.

I believe if you can prove where most of the parts came from you will get an age related plate.

That looks tasty, I regret selling my XJ-S 5.3 at times what a beautiful engine silky smooth but drinks like anything.

Could it be ex military? would that explain the 2.5na, and is it the military green on the inside of the rear door?

Welcome to the forum, You can buy gasless mig welders which use a suitable wire. As for what is available in your location I am unable to help but best of lick with it.

I am unable to view that. but glad to hear all is well.

I found this site a few years ago might be of use. http://www.gtsparkplugs.com/WireSizeCalc.html

I have the Optimil Wheel boss and cover, It is a great bit of kit. I also have the docking station fitted on the dash below the wheel where the swivel lock resides when driving and the wheel goes when off. I thought it might get in the way when driving but it doesn't and the wheel is out of sight when parked up. I also have a pedal box but must get around to fitting it, I have to move the bonnet release catch first nice to know it will still work if fitted over my matting.

I've got a 3/4 drive Draper socket set I bought second hand, the ratchet was broken, I emailed Draper to enquire about getting a replacement part to repair it. I had a very nice email telling me that unfortunately the required part was out of stock but they would send me one once they had them in, About a month later it turned up in the post free of charge. Excellent service, I sent a return email thanking them. Halfords have altered the design of their breaker bars I had to get a replacement from them and the new one is a better design but it doesn't fit into my case now so I had to remould the case with a heat gun to get it to shut.

That could be used with an angled attachment if space is tight.

I have been using Erbauer for a few years and find they are value for money, their twin drill set I bought over three years ago have been abused and are still going strong. So last year when I was looking for a battery angle grinder I chose their new range and have bought a selection of their products with the new battery type. I am quite happy with them. The other thing people don't want to nick them so much. My one complaint is they don't do an impact wrench.

All too often.

Welcome to the forum. Xeng do a lock for the gear lever and transfer box lever, try Foundry 4x4.
