i meant discokids vehicle
Ha ha, sorry James.i meant discokids vehicle
yes seems right, earlier vehicles had both sides split after the valveHa ha, sorry James.
Do you think my schematic diagram is correct then?
That's interesting Gatso. However, my plastic wheel arches are very thin. I think they are just a cover for the sound insulation. They have been on the vehicle since I bought it ten years ago as well as a set of steel arches. My original steel arches were pretty shot, so I bought some newer second hand ones and I'm just fitting the old plastic arches inside those as wasyour inner front arch liner problem could be that you are trying to fit both plastic and galv together ,,,you should only use either plastic or steel .plastic has replaced the steel liners on later fenders regards gatso
Chuck some Fertan in it.
Looks stunning mate. really does. I'd be chuffed with that
Paint looks awesome, red/white, love it as a lr colour scheme. Some times I think I should just stump up and pay a professional.
Ok, Aaron here are some pics.
I haven't bothered with the dismantling pics or refurbishing the axles. Man handled the chassis out of the garage and sat it on the axles to day, so here are the pics as promised when I got to this stage.
Not sure about the red suspension parts and steering rods Could be a bit bling for me.
Had the front shocks on, but took them off. Couldn't compress the bushes enough at the top to get the nuts on. Can someone tell me of I have the washers back on in the right order. The fitting instructions are worse than useless.
Got the bar finished. See picture - spent all day yesterday from 9am until 7pm knackered.
Got around to sticking some bits back on the Landy today. No washers for the anti-roll bar joints. I'm sure it had some when I took them off. Typically the pictures I took don't quite show clearly and the picture in the manual is too small. The joint didn't come with a washer, just a castellated nut and a split pin. Should there be washers where I've put arrows.
Offered up the gear box cross member and it seems way wide. The local Landy specialist, where I bought it, did say you often had to hammer them in.
What about the galv on the chassis? Is this usual? It's a Richards chassis.
Thanks for the jacking tip, then. I wouldn't have thought of that. a - because I wouldn't have thought the rails would jack out easily and b - because I would be worried about damaging my new chassis
Yeah, I've had a few things not fit. Fortunately, the new bulkhead fitted perfectly.Nothing ever fits on a LR. I had a new 300tdi chassis and then went to fit a new bulkhead to it... had to jack the bulkhead apart at the pillars to get it to slide over the mountings on the outriggers.
Cheers, discomania. Nothing fully tightened up yet underneath. Will sort washers out. You've gone back a bit, reading those posts!
