:D Cheers guys for the responses, reason why i ask is that im rebuilding my axles and wondered if it was the best way to go? but as bodey1989 says I'll overhaul the breaks. (going to get expensive) :rolleyes:

:rolleyes:Are the callipers on land rovers with solid disks (disco + defenders) the same as the ones with vented disks, or are they wider to accommodate the thicker disk? Basically could I shove a set of vented disks on my motor, which currently has solid disks?:confused:

I think is made by the Wye Valley brewery. :D [Wye Valley Brewery

My old man had his lwb transit painted by a guy with a little roller, charged only £125 the finish was bang on :D

As Griffdowg said. A 3.5 tone mini digger is right on the land rover weight limit, for any continual towing at least, I don't know how a big ol 110 with jimungus heavy duty suspension would cope but a 90 truck cab squats very low at the rear and might might not have enough poke to get off the...

I had quite the same sounding problem on my works van (merc sprinter 313 cdi), where one minute there would be power and the next it ran like c***, the only way to cure it temperately was to turn it off and start it back up. In the end it turned out to be the turbo that was at fault, wether this...

Im sure the aerial doesnt need to be earthed just plug the jack into the back of the radio and mount it where ever you want. If you got one of those posh automatic extendable jobs (ooer missus) then you've got to get a live to operate it, either from the radio or the same point that the switched...

Basically most radios have three main wires (ignore the speaker and airel wires for now) for them to work, (1) an earth (2) a fused constant live (3) a switched live taken from the ignition switch. Find these wires with use of a multimeter and you cant go far wrong. If the connector block thats...

My last defender was a truck cab, for off roading the thing was great in the visablity aspect giving an all round view. I did wish i got hold of a ivor whilliams back though. (1) for security. (2) where ever id park it, in town, the collage car park or work the landy would be used as a rubbish...

Well the outcome seems positive guys. Normally its "You cant do that it'll blow up". Ive had a squint throught the machine mart catalog today and hey presto found 10 bar safety relief valves + other componets selling seperatly in the compressor section, trying to get hold of two tanks this...

Ive got a 55L petrol workshop compressor, has anyone or know if its possible to add extra air tanks? the compressor has enough grunt at full pressure, but loses its air a little quickly. If poss i was thinking of adding a pair of lorry air tanks due to these being easiest to get hold of. I...

Through work ive rebuilt a couple of Jap Yanmar engines that go in takuchi mini diggers, in the complete gasket kit there isnt a sump gasket at all. All thats used is a thin bead of silicon and havent had problems, but i have seen a big 6 cyl DAF engine destroyed because it was rebuilt with so...

Ive been toying with the idea of rebuild in a early defender latey and thought ive seen the engine advertised in LR mags ive never givin it much notice. Its this International 2.8L HS powerstroke, basicaly its a 2.8l tdi reworked 300TDI made by the same company that makes the old 300 motor in...
