Hertfordshire Lanes?????

I went to Woburn recently with Jake for his birthday. He said if we were very lucky a monkey would do a poo on the car.....we were very lucky...stuff stuck like, well sh*t to a spare wheel cover!

Lol Jai, I would if I could but I think a Tiger Striped 90 is going to look pretty obvious
Lol. Hope you and Rach are good Jai - Bumped into Phil the other day and got his new number - But now cant text him - Long story. But I am sure I will bump into you at some point
Phil also told me the Pub meeting place hadnt changed (If you read this, I would've found you and slapped your ass for lying!!!) So I could've turned up to the old place. Lol. I may well pop down to one just to say hi one day now it isnt so far away

Lol, I love those guys, I dont start until Feb but do come back!
Imagine how I feel when I get out with a bucket of food in there with the monkeys, quite amusing watching them catch food Lol.
Sadly I only work with them once or twice in the season Mostly work with Lemurs, Penguins , Wallabies etc

Good luck you may find one at a local merc suplier but only if your lucky parts are normally silly prices and only available in Germany

Would help if you mentioned which engine it was for!!

OK so we've gone the whole hog and bought a MIG welder. Nothing too expensive but hopefully good enough to learn on and carry out basicrepairs on the Landy when needs be.

Now all Kai and I need to do is learn to use the damn thing. We've checked out a few sites, and taking the advice noted on these we've started practising - moving quickly from "Really Crap" to a slightly better "Slightly ****" status when examining the results.

If anyone has some really good online resources for learning this dark art, please let us know!

Cheers

Ryder

well i hope these help ryder, might be able to get a few more when i go through my college notes as im doing level 2 welding for my aprentiship.

Hi ryder

Send me a PM telling me what welder you got etc.

I am proficiant with arc and mig up to RAC roll cage stds as well as welding collage certificates. Also built a few hybrids and racers in my time.

I use tri gas mig for all normal steel welding but I have used gasless wire for landy repaires in the past. Believe it or not it can be a usefull way to go when you use low power migs.

Make sure your welds are very good before doing any landy repaires. I have seen many a rear x member ger ripped off from off road recovery due to poor welding.

If you can learn to arc weld properly, mig will be easy to pick up with just a few basic rule changes.

I could drop by some time and help you out for the price of a cuppa tea.

carpy have you tried EUROPARTS stuff for my merc is cheap from there....dave
