Online too. Their catalogue has the rating of the wires and usual uses, so you can't go far wrong. Very nice battery distribution box, but I found this one on fleabay - from a freeloader - Seems to be sealed, but don't know yet as it's in the post.

There are two types of hardboard. The standard stuff B&Q sell is no better than thick cardboard which is light brown. The better stuff is a very dark brown and is oiled hardboard. It is stiffer and resists water. Personally, I'm going to be using it on the doors, using standard push fittings...

Very nice soft focus on this ebay sale ;) landrover series 2a 1958 swb (tax exempt) - eBay, Land Rover, Car Parts, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 24-Sep-07 16:30:26 BST) Been in the same family for 20 years, and is nearly finished ! Got a way to go in the cab tho - like a steering wheel...

Sorry to be a numpty on this one - Was it only military Landy's that had their axles and driveshafts painted red, or did they all have this at some point? What did/ did not get painted (U bolts and springs no?), and what was the point? Was it originally covered in black waxoyl - so you...

Have just done halogen conversion on mine :) Well worth the effort/ expence ( Well Ebay actually, so not that bad at all) I'd concentrate on the necessary stuff first though. Replace switch. Track wiring is ok from behind the grille. There will be a connector where the lighting supply splits...

I remember LROI doing a piece on fitting a heated screen to a defender (or was it LRM?)- check out their back issues, or Email for a copy of that issue (Only £3 ish) I think they cut out the old screen carefully with a knife, and with 2 people lifted it out. Then lubricated the new seal...

Intermittent wipers ( when you want them to be, rather than when they feel like it) For the circiut - look at UaShem.com | Automotive | Intermittent wiper controller And use a lucas 3 position rotary switch instead of your original 2. Lots of other small circuits like parking sensors...

Try slackening your engine oil sump plug a bit and see what comes out. If it's water, you've got to take it's head off. - Knackered head gasket would cause pressurisation of the crankcase, and if the output seal is worn, it'll shove the oil through that into your clutch housing by the...

A stuck cupholder! - An I thought I had problems with the flintmobile.:p

Does Waxoyl affect rubber components in any way? I had my suspicions on a couple of pipe ends, which, after using new pipe, the ends began to crack. Also, how best to get behind the front air vent seals on the bulkhead, as I note this seems to be a rot spot. Tried going in from the hinge...

I' ve had stuff hot zinc sprayed, and is ideal for heavy lumps. We used it on wiches for fishing boats and the loading cranes. Once the rust has been grit blasted off(rather severely), the hot zinc powder is melted as it's sprayed. We also do it with nickel now for building up the wear pads on...

Sorry, this is an "on demand" system, using little over atmospheric pressures. No compression or refrigeration required. The current developments and patents seem to be concentrating on one cryogenic tank for Hydrogen vehicles using stored liquified gas, yet this would involve very dangerous...

Post a WANTED thing on fleabay - worked for me. So many people going topless, there are bound to be a few sides knocking about. I got two sides from a 90 with side windows for £30 from ebay but was actually somone local which was great. It may be easier just to replace the whole side, or buy...

Hi, I'm going down the Prima TDi route too. Just need to weld and finish machine the adaptor plate. It uses the Bosch injector pump, and is ideal for veg. Will also take various intercooler options too. There is talk that using a petrol flywneel is better than the sherpa, but I've made my...

That is horrendous ! I can feel a full letter of complaint with photos comming up. I would not expect any vehicle taken to a main dealership to come back worse than it went in! The motor industry is just about (like when?) to tighten up on training, as I've been looking into it recently...

Sorry, Have to disagree with you on that one. Energy can be stored in materials, Usually by putting that energy into a material, and making it into a material of a higher energy state. e.g. infra red added to iron, causes the iron to become hot. This is an unnatural state, so will radiate ir...

:D :D You could try, But since you can legally get your "fuel" off the streets for free, and leave a cleaner environment behind you, I think it's worth a try at least. - Provided you don't blow yourself up and get covered in caustic soda in the process (Also a reason for the large area...

The point is that Aluminium cans take a huge ammount of energy to convert the bauxite to aluminium in the first place (Alcan has it's own hydroelectric plant for this purpose), the energy of which is locked up in the metal. WE can (by simple reactions) reverse this process and benefit from that...

The brackets I've seen are long steel extensions that fit onto the original corner fixing points, but are also rivitted onto the seatbox to keep them tidy. So I suppose that's a continuous connection of steel to the chassis rails? Check out Exmoor trim's site as they now have a good fitting...

Anything Aluminium actually (including pistons and alloy cylinder blocks if you don't scrub it enough - hence the large space. Experiment #1 Fill pint glass half full of water. Spoon 1 tblspoon Caustic soda into glass and mix. Add 1 pie dish or Al foil. Wait 1 minute. See any bubbles...
