In which case I would be even more glad that I didn't spend £40k+ on a new one in 2024. In 26yrs time I'll be 94 so probly a fair comment from that perspective. Any 94yr old drivers on here...? :vb-confused2: :vb-sleeping: :vb-smoke...

I would be surprised if you would still be allowed to drive it in 26 years time

That explains why you wanted to change it. I find the rear drums are quite good if adjusted correctly.

Indeed it would have been, I'll get round to buying one sometime.

Axle casing must be less than a pair of good tyres? Though to be honest I haven't looked. Still got your original axle?

There is a byway which goes through a farm and leads upto Stonehenge, the woman there is a proper loon. She blocked our way once and stood there swearing and waving a big stick. She even admitted we were doing nothing wrong, eventually giving up...

Think you would be better off painting the chassis, then spray inside with a cavity wax of your choice. Some people leave the chassis bare and don't paint it at all. Certain process to follow when painting a galv chassis. I have never used...

Can you fit a D2 axle to a Ninety? Buy another axle casing.

I have a cubby box in my TD5, put a couple of wooden battens under the cubby box. Lifts it up to a better height and clears the OBD socket.

I hope so! All i have done to my engine is turned the fuel pin 2/3. I want to do one thing at a time and learn the differences as i go. The next thing will be AlliSport intercooler.

Looks good, you'll go like a rocket now!

I have often used the website to plan greenlane trips, it's handy to find the locations. Google Street View is also good, often a video can be found on YouTube also. Let us know how you get on.

Give it a rest, you know what I mean. Byways get closed far more often than normal roads, more often than not there is no signs to tell you they have been closed. I was pointing out, in a helpful way, to the OP that an out of date website isn't...

Only if its on a road. The website is out of date with regards to some byways.

Proper or improper, I always drain from the sump plug after getting the oil hot.

Maybe, my son hasn't got any silencers on his so not much weight to support.

Interesting. My son's 200tdi has no bracket at the front, just the one at the rear of the centre section and one at the tail pipe.

So meet up with another friend off the ferry And overnight down near Poole. The D4 decided not to continue so it was just me and the Hilux. So as the next stop for us both were near my home and flags again down we decided a trip round again. No...

2 separate trips out onto Salisbury plain. Met up at tidworth on the tank crossing & as the red flags were down & gates open meant I could use permissive (red flag) routes. Avoided the chalk mud pits. The D4 end box fell off and he lost the door...

Look at the tread, how are they going to work on tarmac? Off road only and I bet they have a terrible speed rating. All terrain are what you want for mixed use. BFG Mud Terrain also work OK on the road if you mostly do green lanes.

Did anyone go? Just seen a video blog thing on YouTube and it seemed very quiet indeed on Sunday. Don't know if Saturday was any busier.

Ebay, timing cover is also on Ebay.

Another website with ford listings. https://englishfords.co.uk/photo_11388916.html#photos_id=11389258

I didn't change them as I am a tight wad! https://www.jgs4x4.co.uk/discovery-2-td5-rocker-valve-cover-bolt-rubber-grommet/

No but they do have little rubber seals on the bolt "top hats"

Sorry we are talking about two different things, I can see you step bracket does have the nut and bolt fitted. Mud flap bracket didn't bolt into the out rigger, mind you maybe it should?

I have just been underneath my son's D2 making a bracket up for the side step, non of the brackets are bolted through the little hole on the out rigger. They only thing holding them on is the large nut attached to the long stud coming down on one...
