haha make sure you got the "recovery" part in with the deal

Right, i may or may not be there. The wheel bearing change has done fook all, still a horrid grating noise when turning left and the brakes are more or less not there. bollix!

lol, i will check my insurance.

Do we know what time people are meeting at?

As far as Freelander recovery points go, The front one is a single bolt on affair so i MAY be able to fit something after market on before Saturday if i can find something that fits. The rear one is a weld on job just like a normal car and there are two more on the rear axl, Best not get too stuck!

firstly - its sunday mate, dont go turning up on saturday!

i have a jate ring spare if you want it - so if you take out one of the front points i will throw my jate ring on

regarding the rear - if you cant get anything solid on we will just have to go easy on the recovery side, you should be ok

ask people round your way what time they are meeting. i will be driving up from south wales on the sunday morning, so i will be there for 9 - 10ish if all goes smoothly

Take whole steering box to local ingineering place then and get it pressed off.

don't go grinding or cutting the old one off thats just not cricket and may end up destroying your box

Wouldn't Kev's press help? If he is around he may be able to help.

You're just no fun any more

looking to get a complete box, as the one fitted has play on the shaft bearing and is leaking like a cockermouth river.

i would rather change it now rather than mess around with the drop arm/box twice when it fails in a months time.

I may have a box coming no leaks will need a drop arm, 4 bolt I think Jai

are we all meeting at 9am then?

I'll be there at about 10. I'm out Saturday night so won't be up too early.

yea going to be around 10 for me also, given i will be driving from south wales

Have fun tomorrow guys. Didn't manage to get the landy fixed today, one chuffing bolt wont come undone! All i have left to do is get the bugger off and fill with one shot do it up, put brake caliper back on bleed brakes and jobs a goodun.
