    Overland related kit

    A few bits I no longer need. I have a Maggiolina Mattress with cover, medium width (135cm?) will fit all maggy's but not the new airtops. The foam has a few cracks in it as it is probably nearly 10 years old. Still in 1 piece though and not lumpy, still usable. £30 collected...

    Defender 90 110 130 various parts and accessories

    I wish you had said JOB LOT at the start before I sifted through deciding what I wanted! :( Would be interested in #13 if you split and its not a generic halfrauds one. G

    I think we had one once to. But it was lambing season so she was a little stroppy. G

    how do i get underseal off

    yer but waxoil can still trap moisture and rot your chassis. I used a couple of wire wheels on a drill and angle grinder along with a chisel, paint scraper. It was still original underseal on my 1996 D90 so not too bad. but it took a lot longer to do than I expected. I took 2 weeks off...

    Booger's Bolivian Safari

    I was going to say you kept it quiet for a long time! and also wondering why you would ship out for one small piece of road :D I often wonder if what you are doing is the best thing. Building your own overland vehicle is nice an all but it does cost $$$$$$$ of which you could...

    Nordkapp, how many days drive?

    Nige, We are planning on 10 days once on the other side so 14 days in all give or take. 14 days will be tight and wont allow for any issues which may come up (Weather/breakdowns/road closures etc) and it will be a straight up and back affair. Also consider the lack of light in the day, driving...

    size of bushes.

    I would double check with the supplier but off the top of my head you would only need the earlier kit (to suit your front axle) as the width of the radius arms changed which may or may not affect the bushes. The A frame and trailing arms should all be the same along with the trailing arm and...

    Cable / Amps

    You want a higher rated cable than 25-30amps. You may also find it blows 25a fuses as it wont be 23a constant. I would fuse at 30a and wire 40a. but maybe some people see that as overkill? G

    PANIC ! Need someone to fit rear axle oil seal

    As a start have you removed the diff filler plug to see how much EP90 is in there? The diff on the rear axle is in the middle and your looking for the square plug fixed to the pan as you look at the vehicle from behind. A 1/2" ratchet (with extension) will fit in there, undo it all the way and...

    your all legends! Thanks guys. I may actually be in with a chance now :) Stanage is good. Driven it twice now. Don't feel the need to do it again though. First time we went up it and the second down as it had a voluntary TRO on it. That whole trip was darkened by the attitudes of walkers...
