Oh you don't remain rent-free in my head, as all of you idiots are just a big blur to me.
One of you said something to imply that I actually remember who says what.
I just look at the comment, see how dumb it is, and then respond, while...
Actually the person asked me a question that would take 10 seconds to find on Google and I suggested that they look it up because it was a question unrelated to my question.
They wanted to know all of the gear ratios for the L322, and they also...
I am restoring my 1970 series 2b SWB from scratch and wanted to ask if I should sandblast the axle by securing the Diff rim somehow? Or to take them out completely? What are the precautions for both front and back axles. Thank you!
Now we are getting somewhere. Real issues without the "I know everything" attitude.
The lockup occurs at around 50 mph and will obviously be affected by RPM and throttle.
But a car with a trailer will have the same RPM but a higher throttle...
A while back I posted a question about what 2-pack body adhesives folks were using. Someone suggested Optima from Ebay so I sourced one.
Yesterday I broke the seal and started bonding in various patches and repair strips.
Its quite a thick...
Here is the funny thing, the biggest actual potential problem that I have so far been alerted to is the torque converter lockup.
Here is what the ZF5HP guru RRPhil said on another forum: "Some aspects of the driveline control are vehicle speed...
You need to pull that sill cover off and move the carpet cause I bet that’s a lot bigger than you think!!!
Also that’s caused from water getting between the metal sheets in the wheel arch and seeping into the body as it’s only spot welded.
I’m also just going to throw it out there that the D2 body may be better than the D1’s but it’s by no means except, I know from experience first hand. So you either get a Jap import body which would be immaculate but then what’s the point in...
This is a post-repair write up as a pay forward.
The Freelander 2 steering rack is a Ford product that has a weakness in a Teflon seal that wears out, whereupon the O-ring pops out and the piston stops working. Because of this weakness, a power...
Too ott fer me. Eye has had to take action. Curtains closed on the side the sun is shining. Earlier eye closed the windows when the temp outside were gerrin hotter than inside.
I agree with the others here that bulkhead is ok. Most of it will be spot welds and most folk even a novice can spot weld. Preparation is key, spend the money on welding clamps, angle magnets and give it a go. If you can competently break down a...
It's quite a few hours work. Anyone good will be charging £30+ per hour, so it could be pricey.
If I was doing it:
I'd start by getting it blasted, identify what's really bad.
Unpick the spot welds. Day? Jig it up, then weld. Day?
Blast...
Thanks Luke. You are correct mate with your last statement, and this is entirely down to me. We did speak about the plates when I sold my Audi, but for reasons I won’t bore you all with (Taking a job abroad the following day) I couldn’t do...
