MOT Passed! 0 Advisories 😆

Also definitely needs a cut and polish!

Week later aircon is still ice cold! 😄 so very happy with my choice to DIY. Then noticed the water drain pipe for the AC is well, missing. So its just dripping into the footwell, easy fix tho! MOT tomorrow so few pre MOT checks, nothing...

So changed the seals on the AC Condenser as I know they where not great. Followed the instructions on the kit and hey presto, 10mins later ice cold AC. Colder infact than ive ever had! I expect thats down to the much larger Condenser though...

Fingers crossed , wont be long and hopefully well get some decent weather

It has a gauge that measures the pressure, I also have a bottle of 134a. Friend of mine has been using the ACPro kits for years never had an issue. My AC hasnt been gassed in a couple years but has had a new condenser, compressor is known to...

As the weather is warming up I thought id look at getting the AC Regassed. As everything the price has gone up, £90 now, was £50 last year! So Halfords. AC Pro kit, leak seal & AC cleaner for less than £100 does 3 cars. So much better value and...

So quick look over to check the suspension has all settled... It was fine on Sunday i swear 🤣 Sadly my favourite company GORE no longer trade and Pioneer4x4 have a silly lead time. So in a very unlike me move OEM it is. £147 later...

Busy boy! Need to do my rear calipers and discs at some point soon but not very soon 🤣

Nothing tricky about it, though could be worth getting a new slave cylinder if you havnt recently. Be very careful not to pull the pushrod out.

Its an easy job to do both master and slave. Dont mess about with seals the units are cheap just replace them. I fitted the stainless braided pioneer hose when i did myne last year. Prime the master / lines open nip up and bleed. makes a bit of a...

Son is 25, probably a bit old for volcano projects.

Some comparison pics Exact same springs and dampers. CSW DCPU Standard CSW

Forgot I did these! Stainless door threshes, designed, cut and folded by yours truly. If anyone would like a set more than happy to do a run, be cheaper than anyone else online. Can even provide fixings. 2mm brushed stainless, secured with...

This is LZ, I'm impressed every time someone manages to post in the right section 🤣

Busy day. Dampers, springs, turrets, retainers, spring clamps all fitted! When shockingly 😅 smoothly. All done in about 6 hours. Serviced it as well. Shock turrets drawn, laser cut, CNC bent and Mig welded by me :D Also fitted the RRC...

Ok. Not had a compressor overheat message at all like you normally would. Wonder if its one of the airlines split somewhere. Also if there was a leak would the whole thing sit flat or would that explain why the front was always at ride heigh...

Tbf didnt know I could do that! One thing to check though. Thank you! Ill have a look! Cheers

Ok. Thing is I changed the front bags, didnt have an issue. Dad sent it to a local garage for the rears, once replaced it didn't level off. For clarification the compressor isnt running constantly. It fills the bags after a couple mins then...

Its my dads RR currently not with it, but will be tomorrow. Last I saw it, it was fully deflated but would raise to normal height when started. Cant hear any leaks and the compressor doesnt keep running after its inflated. Which is what made...

Front bags replaced a couple years ago and inflate properly, not leaking afaik. Rear bags replaced last year. After replacing always sat back on its ass but would always inflate when the cars started. Now it is says "fault do not exceed 30mph"...

Tbf hadnt noticed the diff plug but it does look lower so.will look again tomorrow 😅 It is a little wider and sticks out a little further and more of a dome shape rather than the pressed one from LR. So I expect it will actually hold a little...

Interested as to why the diff fill/level plug is lower? (or seems) Nice work though, I enjoy your updates keep em coming :). J

I thought that. Even looked to see if was welded upside down. Think as it’s wider than standard,oil must get thrown round more

You do know how to make a man go moist........... :vb-drink: bet you got a sunburn now! I dont want to give anything away but i have seen the final drawings for this project....

Think some military axles had thicker pans and heavy trussing but rather rare. Thanks 😊 Partly for my own records partly as a thank you to the community. Spending countless hours reading threads in the past trying to find solutions to odd...

Mega exciting pics here 😅😅 Old pans off. Axles begun cleaning. Forgot a few pics but the HD weld on pan isnt quite as straight forward as its made out to be! Given the original is circular and the new is a sort of hexagon shape, tricky to...

DIY Diff Pan arrived from Gwyn! Welded up, cleaned off. Ready for the axle case which arrived today!

🤣🤣 moving soon anyway 😅

Ive also found myself a TD5 axle tube for not alot of money. So instead of painfully trying to remove the 9 rounded and rusted bolts off my swivels. Im going to build up a new axle! Gywn lewis HD Diff pan + making my own trusses because why...
