[Soloby Rob]

JC it said had original paper work.

How is your recon doing got it running or you still walking

But the home reconditioned motor doesn't mean the noob knew what the were doing anyone can create a paper file on a
motor

im not talking bout the engines you have contact for im talking bout the ammount of twots there are selling **** as reconditioned units

and my recon is almost there but im now back into the crank case just as a matter of curiousity more than anything as to what state the oil pump is in
BTW instead of forking out £60 plus VAT to the likes of paddocks or craddocks for a new bronze bush bearing for me skew gear ive actually bought a bleddy great chunk of the stuff in billet form and machined meself a fekkin good new one with a babbit liner ( propper oldskool ) and fitted that
for less than £15 ( coz money is fekkin scarce at the moment )

so yes im still on shank's pony

as for anyone creating a paper file on an engine fair enough but if i ever sell one as reconditioned ill have the fotos to back them up

you do need to be careful with ex mod recons ,as a lot were badly done , theres no warrenty come back with mod contracts at that time anyhow ,if they fit it and its poor it just goes round to be redone ,mod contracts could be a gravy train

 

[johnny curt 1]

yep and at this moment im belted right down going through absolutely evrything on this engine coz i heared how sweet it ran last time as appose to the time before with the knackered valves and tappets and what they cost me

i dont want anything to #### up all that cash and time for the want of a worn out bush , bearing , gear etc coz i know the first thing i ask myself is why the feck didnt i check it when i had the bugger appart

and besides the twot that sold me the landy from the infamous online flea market told me it was a reconditioned engine wich i fell for and look where im up to with it now

theres not a soddin thing on that engine i dont know about

 

[jai_landrover]

their gearboxes were exceptionally ****e!! I had an LT77 labelled military recon leaked almost as quick as I put the oil in.

Pull the knife out of me back pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[jai_landrover]

As JM says many MOD contracts were just numpties rebuilding things fitting parts or not fitting parts and charging the MOD for the privilage then sending back a part thats been cleaned up and not alot else. if it works thats usually good enough for the average squaddie.

 

[jamesmartin]

thats why were i worked were able to break in to mod work ,as they needed lt85s that were 100% for the armoured lrs in ni,theyd had quite a few fail at the wrong time

 

[jai_landrover]

I will NEVER buy a mil recon gearbox again thats for sure.
