If the column is tight on the steering box and the steering wheel can be turned without the drop arm moving then the play is in the box (obviously). There is a correct way to adjust the steering box. You could have changed just the ujs and not...

If you loosen that nut inside your circle you can then adjust that bolt to free up or tighten

Well, fitted earth cable from block to battery at the weekend and so far all seems well. Many thanks for everyone's advice

Thanks, no steering at the moment , will need to move the front wheels around by hand to steer it out the building then same again when It gets to my yard.

New cutting disk to the rescue.

£1k has always been the going rate. (15 on fleabay at the moment)

Someone will remind me what you can fit instead ... summat out of an old BL van I think ...

New hoses, and while I’m there if I’m paying for delivery anyway may as well get a few “bits” 😂

I Probabaly could do but currently with a little one, speed and ease are worth paying for as time is very limited. By buying the Steve Parker mount everything should just be an easy bolt in job.

Rude not to celebrate todays progress with a beer ! Or better still 2 beers ! Cheers everyone

Having a look at trail wise and found it a bit helpful. Some lanes I had looked on the OS map have TRO/VRO or advise to only go 1 way. Yes some of this info goes back a few years,so a sites is only as good as the info supplied Still route...

Done. It’s the spare wheel from the rear carrier so was able to “go at it”

You needed a new radiator anyway .... and a larger intercooler, the frame repainting and new rubbers 👍

The Key is to think outside the box a little Try these

Have you tried to get the wheel to move at all , just to break the rust bond ...

One down One to go And then never again 🤯 And that's with the tools and soapy water 🤣

Could you not get the engine mounts from the doner motor & add flat metal to bolt these on? Measure from the gearbox mounts forward to see where these need mounting. Iv always done my chopping this way.

Bit of an update to this, my 110 (red) now as a station wagon is perfuming flawlessly as expected. I still prefer the hard top body but this is the sacrifices you make by having children. There has been more times that I have had to use the...

Ah OK, have you tested continuity for earth between the battery negative and the components earth supplies and component bodies?

A friend spent a fair amount on some new wheels for his Mustang, while the insurance company were happy to cover them they would only payout for original spec wheels. In reality the original spec wheels would probably be more expensive with...

I'm sorry I didn't read your full post iv no idea about your hardships as I turn on my heated seats, steering wheel and climate control when I feel a slight chill.

I've seen the videos of Russians in Yakutsk, Siberia dealing with the cold with their vehicles and it's a hell of a faff. Some even leave the cars parked up and running 24/7.

That's the problem, you're effectively dealing with a computer nowadays and not a person. l had a long discussion with AF about the side steps on my 2005 Defender, the girl just didn't know what they were. When the policy came through it stated...

I have a 3.5 EFI & employed a remote amp from PS that failed after a month. Not impressed by the company's insistence in replacing the item rather than agreeing to a refund. I did some research & purchased a Lucas (yes I know ..) which exhibited...

That’s for a tool roll mate. Bit rough but it works. Base plate on mine sat behind the passenger seat but I use a bottle jack instead of the original one, bit safer I thought.

Had its new windscreen other day so it leaks again 😂

Prolly a panel that heats up and then the earth touches and makes the circuit again ... Usual Landy thing, check, clean and re-secure the earths ...

Nope but it's not the original bolt that's in, it's a newer one I fitted. I'll take it out and check it though. My hub seals are still good, it's just the pinion seal

Did you replace the bolt? Mine was blocked not the pipe Also it blew out from the hub seals

Been doing little stuff while I’ve not had a chance to get gas. Also been doing bits on pig. So much corrosion was on rear quarter. I dug it all out, then epoxy primered, then filler, then etched the bare stuff then dolphin glaze. Stripped rear...
