To put this in easy terms, you need to check the voltage with a meter when there are a few revs on, say 1500 not at idle, you should have something between 13.6v and 14.4v. If you've got that then the alternator seems OK. now check the viscosity of the battery to see if you have a dead cell...

first of all decide what gear you need for the land ahead of you, do you need low gear, or low gear with the centre diff locked ? (mud, rocky steps when loss of traction will probably occure etc) Slow the vehicle down to WALKING pace (you need the vehicle to be moving very slowly) slip the main...

It'll be the hub oil seals. remove the brake caliper & disc etc. then remove the hub & bearings, then remove the stub axle and renew the inner seal, fit new gaskets when you put it all together, clean & regrease the bearings, fit a new oil seal in the hub and tighten up as per Mr Haynes manual...

Frank Pickles for me, just loves modified ones.

I have all 3, hi-lift, good wide trolley jack, and airbag jack. i always tend to use the trolley jack. It's not your Halfrauds £20 special, but one of these Sealey Trolley Jack Premier 2tonne Low Entry Super Rocket Lift - 2000LEQ - Trolley Jacks - Sealey Power Tools - DIY and Tools from...

They do this type of stop when there's a reasonable chance of finding something. (6/49 isn't bad!) ANPR only checks the numberplate not the vehicle. A vehicle that was using someone else's reg number on the same colour/type of vehicle just wouldn't show, but a check of chassis number/altering...

The Hippo, in the way that it wallows over things, and likes to play in the mud.

I haven't really used it since properly for any distance as it's part of the preparation for our trip to France with MUDPLUG Mudplug's Greenlaning Adventures this weekend, with over 800 miles each way, it should prove better on fuel. it certainly feels better on the bits of running around that...

To put a Landy into Difflock, the vehicle needs to be moving in a reasonably straight line at about walking pace. My 90 (manual) will go in if forwards or reverse, but the Auto Disco will only go in if going forwards. So when tackling anything where you might loose traction, select low and...

Have you seen the one where Tommy recovers the Defender out of a mud hole? don't forget to duck as the shackle comes flying at you!! set of knuckle-draggers!

If you'd taken off the rocker cover, it would have been much easier. also, you took out the injectors, but you've no idea if they was any good before putting them back in with new washers. If you didn't want to pay to have them checked, you could have pulled the pipes back a little just enough...

Adjust what?? An SWR meter is just that, a meter, ie a measuring devise, it doesn't adjust anything, and should not be left in the system once no longer being used.

not required, it's the Faraday (spelling?) effect, ie the proximity of the *ground plane* that counts. Obviously a earth at the aeriel isn't going to cause problems, it can only do good, but it's not essential like is being made out, providing the coax connectors are soldered on correctly...

Obviously if you're replacing the washers, you'll have to remove the injectors. First undo the leakoff pipe that is connected to all of them and move it out of the way, don't pull the banjo's out of it, their washers should stay on. Then undo all the injector pipes from the injectors, and pull...

It's nothing to do with grounding! do you scrape the paint off the roof when you put a mag mount on? no, course you don't! So long as the outer part of the coax connects to the aeriel mount correctly, and to the CB correctly, it'll be grounded OK. It's down to the propagation of the aeriel in...

A springer type aeriel mounted on the front wing will give you problems with SWR. Due to amount of "load" (ie the amount of actual metal of the aeriel = the spring part) being sheilded with the bodywork. A better aeriel would be to have the "spring" ie the extra coils, near to the top. I had...

Just take a wheel off and have a look-see.

A bit of a tip for when you're SWR'ing, short aeriels will only work if they're in the roof of a vehicle, anything else and you'll have problems SWR'ing them. If it's a new aeriel, tape a short piece of wire to the tip of it, therefore extending it, then cut 1/4" off at a time until the SWR...

If you're getting interference, try powering the CB straight from the battery instead of picking up a "live" from behind the dash. for a topic that explains how to solder up the connectors, see here;.... Difflock :: View topic - CB radio help

Nothing wrong with a Landy, but you do need to know what you're doing before playing with the sticks.
