40 litres ! Hell, thats double mine LOL ! G

I use starret, with the little teeth (not the big + small teeth). Can get them for decent prices on ebay. G

Try driving with your cap off to see ?

Morning, At the last LRS challenge i stripped a R+P (standard landrover 3.54). The diff centre did not appear to be damaged. I had to go trialing the next weekend, so i thought i'd quickly rebuild the diff with a new R+P...but....when i bolted the crownwheel on the diff pretty much locked up. My first thought was that i'd trapped something in the sun/plantry gears - but i hadn't. It basically turned out that the flange cap was bent (# 020406), and as i was tightening the crownwheel bolts it was "squeezing" all the gears together. This is an RD56. I rebuilt the diff using parts from another spare ARB and went playing for the day. Can anyone advise a quick easy fix ? D4x4 don't have the part in stock (12 week delay) and it's £75. Could a p38 4 pin diff be stripped and made to fit with some fettling in the lathe ? I'll be redoing my diffs when i get home as i've now got a pair of pegged housings and 4.11 r+p . Cheers Gordon

As above, it's easy enough to do it in the vehicle. Don't forget to change the hydraulic lifters when you do the cam. G

If he's going to be using it whilst working on his landrover, it'll be oiled for life I've got a steel bench, very useful

Nice one Neil

Screwfix are amazing on price !

Errr...how else are you supposed to fit them

in the last two weeks i've not rolled and i played with the modifieds trialing on sunday

Thank you.

Will keep an eye on ebay. I've just been looking up tre's on the net, a lot of them list them as 11/16 x 16 UNF. But a lot of people talking on forums talk about 11/16 x 16 UNS. Can anyone tell me the difference please ? Cheers Gordon

For future reference, i see paddocks are now selling baily morris props at damn good prices G

Thanks. I always had it in my head they were 11/16 unF. I'll have to find some taps now.... G

Why not put a defender 1.4 ratio transfer box onto yours instead of the 1.2 ? Will help you for towing. G

Not new, but try http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/kdlandrovers/ He has a lot of stuff available

They were talking about it a bit recently on pirate : http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=989880

I think that's 10 nice trucks though

At work we've got a long curtain that runs around on a rail. It's plasticcy / pvc or something like that. Been there for years and hasn't died from cutting torch / griding / welding sparks. G

Morning, As a hobby i seem to bend steering arms either that or my winch man is blind I'm sick of buying them, so since my recent aquisition (colchester student) i'm going to make some instead. What tube / bar am i best off using ? I have space for 38mm to fit in the lathe. Cheers Gordon

From looking at the pictures (as i've not got a white plug), could you not get a normal trailer socket (or 2) and fiddle around with it by swapping pins to get it too fit ? - It looks like the middle pin is the difference.

Or from a newer 90. I.e. 300tdi onwards.

This was the reason our day finished :

I have a video of you on the special stage, i'll put it onto youtube. Gordon

Cheers guys. We managed 9 punches in the first hour... then walked the rest ! Haven't even looked at the truck today, it's currently sulking in 2wd ! Nice site G
