Good tip from clutchdust not a lot of extra work to get the transfer box off seperately,a bit awkward but not too heavy. The main box itself is actually quite light. Piece of wee wee with two people, although i do have the benefit of a fully equipped HGV workshop. Clutch cattled but fortunately...

Gotta take the box out as the clutch has died a death, the motor is up on a column lift at the moment. I appreciate it's going to be heavy but is it possible for two people to lift it out, i have a transmission jack but frankly its pants. Any advice or weightlifters most appreciated.

Don't know it's by passed. Before i reconnect it i was wondering if this is a common bodge, it might leak or have a crack somewhere and let air in.

Just discovered my sediment bowl has been by passed, anyone know if this done to cure some other problem?

I have noticed that "camp" and "freelander" have been mentioned several times. Answers on a postcard!

Ah Belize, once got the choice of 4 months in Belize or 4 months in the Falklands. Hell of a hard decision!

Redone the calculation taking into account the gradient and using mud to work out the rolling resistance now comes out at 29.3t of effort.

Same as you my cheat sheet is in the workshop. I'll do it sometime tomorrow, think there might even be a figure for snow when doing rolling resistance.

Lenny never mentioned a slope, will do the calculation tomorrow allowing for a gradient just to see.

The Institute of Vehicle Recovery has a way of devising the effort required to winch a vehicle in different circumstances. Using this method a 44t vehicle on a flat, smooth road with no damaged wheels would require 1.76 ton to move it. Providing of course it has enough air to release the brakes.

I wear the trousers in my house, and i iron them as well!

my husband had this sent to my email - wot does this say about him or - - wot does this sAY ABOUT YOU - Sad ****er

Top man, a winch cable in the right hands can be the most wonderful thing ever. Take care of it, cherish it and love it. Not only will it get you out of the s**t you can make a few bob out of it. Have a look at my AVATAR (what does that stand for) and guess the capabilities of the winches i used...

Slag me off if i'm wrong but many manufacturers (?) fit the same loom to different specifications of the same vehicle. Working on the basis it is better to waste a bit of wire than to manufacture x amount of different looms>
