battery wouldn't be a big as you think would have to be mounted on a belt but a lithium ion about the size of half a brick would last a good hour on full power....

Stripped my leaky hub down today using the exploded diagrams, and laid it all out in order and tidily (very unlike me LOL)

and found the probable cause:

Brand new but been in there a while without use. New Adjustable Panard Rod arrived:

And Brian popped over to play:

So ordered new seals and will rebuild later in the week, along with some other goodies on order

Dan whats wrong with you? you will never fix it if your that organised.. your supposed to scatter the bits around and spend hours pacing about looking for the bit you put down somewhere lol.

panhard looks good !

Hopefully will finish mine off this weekend, just waiting for the cranked trailing arms to turn up.

Refurbed my A Frame







also fitted the winch battery and started wiring it in




I just need to fit the trailing arms, get the bottom nut on the shocks (what an arse with poly bushes lol) and attached the prop and I should be good to go

The way i see it, the more organised it is, the more time i have to sit down and drink tea

Mmmmm if I had the money and space

Landrover 101 Forward Control RHD 24V with overdrive | eBay

And you think youre 110s cold, draughty and noisy lol

New goodies arrived today, although im not sure if one bit will fit, Gwyn twisted my arm but i might have to send it back:






We have Sumo steering bars with greasable trackrod ends, the new thicker, better built version of the Twin alternator mount with belt to suit, and the rear steering bar protection box, which i dont think is the bit thatll fit due to my castor corrected swivels....

I had the same problem with my diff guard, had to make a spacer to fit the steering rod.

I suppose time will tell when it all gets bolted on....

If anyone is over towards Banbury (OX15) I have a bumper that I need bringing back.
I had organised a courier but bumpers are prohibited items ???????

I will be in Oxfordshire a few days next week.

Will it fit in my Skoda considering I will have a full boot.

That would be great if it'll fit? it's the bumper from: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f62/defender-201989.html

Don't tell the courier it's a bumper, only reason they are prohibited is because modern bumpers crack to easy, just say its an impact bar or something, I sent my old disco one out via courier no problem

My last one went with a courier as a "steel garden object - non fragile".
