I don't mind criticism. Usually a mate does it. But to be honest I couldn't be bothered with his moaning. But I do like having a go. Great feeling when it's done. That's why I like mi disco. Easy to work on. Just wish I had a garage. :)

:confused: Ya live and learn. :D:D Cheers for clearing that up. But my welding is more like splatter. :)

The rot is mainly on Nr side rear. Couple of tiny bits on otherside. had a good bash about as I may as well get rid of it all. Least for now.

Yea got an auto helmet. and ware a thick hat. not bothered about the odd splatter. Going to try straight air. see how that works for me. thanks.

That's mint. :D:D

Well f@@k me never thought of that. Great Idea. Sister-in-law runs a pub. I'll bell them tomorrow. Cheers. Have used 80 20 Argon mix and must admit. It's nicer feel to weld. and hardly any splatter at all. When your on your back and a splatter bit somehow manages to find it's way on your head...

Where's the Oil dripping from? Gunk the engine wash off and see if you notice where the oil is from. If from the bottom of the bell housing then my guess is yes. Rear oil seal on crank. It could just be a coincidence that your clutch is on the way out.

:D used flux. for some reason gas doesnt last too long. But I do live Nr the sea and theres hell of a breeze coming off the front. Cold aswell. So I thought flux best. As I say. Gotta start somewhere.

Car failed on welding. Thought i'd have a go myself this time. But as I knocked around the chassis. All I thought was scrap. Untill I started cutting it out and found an inch up there was least 2mm of metal so I got some 3mm plate and set too. This is my first time welding by the way. Spent a...

Ahh it's a v8. not tdi :doh:

luck you. I need welding on chassis for mine to pass. but its too cold to sort it. well done

"YOU CAN'T WELD" you soon will. But that's part of owning a Landrover. Doing all this stuff yourself. Keeping the thing on the road. Gives you a great sense of achievement and enjoyment. Then when you have sorted all the things needed to keep it on the road. You will want to take it apart and...

once off leave it off. used mine all year no problem. You will find a few people leave them off. or fit electric ones.

yea good price from a garage. happy motoring. :bounce:

clutch might be ok Mine was new when i took gearbox out so didn't replace it. But if id have took it to a garage they would have and charged me. Prob even leave it and still charge. But if you think it's on the way out or you don't know when it was changed you may as well do the lot whilst box...

Defo fork. The pedal low was the pin on its way through. same happened on mine the pin must have caught half way through. the hydraulics took up the slack so I thought problem was gone. Then all of a sudden pedal hit the floor. not to bad to do if your handy. hardest part for me was the top two...

Yea... Look out for spring spacers and hammer marks on your trailing arms. lol pics when its done please.

i know its simple but if you got pressure on clutch but not drive. has it slipped out of high range? if peddle on floor defo pin through. did mine by just moving gearbox back took 4 hours. £14 for new HD fork. better than the £600 a garage wanted to change the whole thing. rip offs. good luck

It's Tom. Like Alex8882 says Its there car. Doubt none of there cars they have on youtube would ever see the light of day again anyway. So why not let them have there fun. Yea it's sad to see these cars end up in the state they do. But These are young lads enjoying there time. Can think of a lot...

Give them a knock with hammer and old screw driver. Penetrating oil loads of it. leave for a day. they will come off. Doubt you get a grinder in there. Good socket set and a good quality ring spanner. You be laughing. Good luck.
