I have test run engines mounted to nothing just hanging suspended form a crane. So mounted to the chassis and then Using the crane to take the weight and keep level will Be no problem at all.

I have just got the cheap britpart ones in mine and they have lasted me no problem Probabaly coming up 10 years and have just fitted again with my rebuild after the fire. I fitted the cheap one on the reasoning they were easy enough to replace if...

I think you need all new wires running from the relay if you want to use a td5 switch. The current switch wires cannot be used as they are on the positive side of the circuit and just need permanently connecting. the relay earth needs running...

I think the above is correct, if you remove the bolt and the cable I believe the "nut" just slots through the lever and can be removed but is likely to be stiff and seized in place. It is probably easier to remove the whole arm as the little...

I have just bought FRC3132 front stub axles and am trying to work out what oil seal and bush it requires. The parts diagrams I have (below) do not have matching part numbers for the stub axle I am using so I am not sure if the oil seal for the...

Many thanks as long as it fits I will have those from you. I will contact goodwinch. I will also do some more research as I have vague memories from rebuilding my first one that there is a groove for a circlip on the end of the motor that makes...

I saw this, messaged the bloke and was going to put an offer in for buying this. I got put off as it looked like it had had new tyres, seats and a quick spray job to look nice, soley for the purpose of selling. Could be wrong but that's the vibe...

That is a heavy equipment/tractor paint job. Remove nothing and paint the lot one colour.

I would potentially be interested depending on price. Does the bow motor fit a husky I know little else does as they are fairy unique. I am struggling to find a standard roller failed to fit (I know you can get the Ali ones from good winch). And...

You might find the information on here: LINK has all the wiring colours and connectors detailed.

I am fairly sure if memory serves that the td5 switches are all a switched earth which the 300tdi is not so it would need some more advanced wiring than just swapping the switches over and connecting the wires the same way they are currently. It...

I have done a couple of them by beating them out with a large hammer but it is hard work. to refit you then just use some long high tensile bolts to pull it all back into place and then beat with a large hammer again. With the easy availability...

Yes but they also regularly upgrade to three or four link suspension for their beam axles which is the same setup as the old style land rover had as standard! Three link front and four link rear since the introduction of the range rover.

As the title. I am looking for a winch bumper to suit a husky winch (not the same as other winches). Preferably as close I. Design to this one fitted to my 110 as possible.

Followed this video and the 12v winch does turn in both directions but does not sound exactly happy. But now I know it does try. I will strip the gearboxes and inspect and lubricate properly. I have done this before when I fitted the husky to the...

Having just picked up a pair of husky winches for a bargain price (both were listed as spares or repair) I need reminding how to test the motors please. I am currently not bothered about the solenoids etc that came with them as need to start more...

My apologies, that is my inability to read correctly! I wouldn't dream of doing any wire brushing on steel components by hand, that sounds far too much like hard work. I always use and angle grinder with wire wheels on so that is not a problem...

many thanks for confirming, there are lots of brake claipers paints available but I was struggling to find any detail on if they were straight to metal or not, i know the stove paint I used last time was but was not sure about the actual caliper...

I am Once again rebuilding brake calipers, this time for the station wagons. I have both front and rears to do. I know you can buy shiny gloss caliper paint both for brushing and in rattle cans, but ideally I can find a Matt or satin black. But I...

Now that I do agree with, was looking for some pictures recently for reference to try and work out how something (I forget what now) mounted on the back end and all I got was useless pictures of new ones. Either googles algorithm is prioritising...

You're not mean to just newcomers @dag019 ... :)

I am looking for one the same as on m y 110 to fit a husky so it is my own fault for liking the awkward winch!

If you do a warks day out let me know as that will be right on my door step and similarly i used to do some of the local ones regularly but have been for years so not familiar with the status anymore.

At least you noticed the jest in my comments regarding the newer ones and the superior nature of the older ones, unlike the last question regarding the new defender where I made similar comments and was accused of being mean to newcomers by the OP!

That would be my advise as well, if you cannot get the steering column to lock back into place after adjusting that sounds like a dealer problem to me. It is what you get for having such upmarket and modern functions on your land rover. There was...

Less holes the better ?

I agree with the above, I think you want to be removing the windows from the roof, they leak enough already without adding more places. I am currently looking for a solid 110 roof to get rid of the alpine windows and sunroof from the station wagon!

What oem dash switches are you using, for what vehicle? From memory the td5 style switches are a switched earth so need wiring differently to a normal toggle switch. I use toggles in my 110, but remember needing to use a twin relay setup for my...

Many thanks for the pictures, unfortunately at Newbury this year there was not the large piles of hubs I have seen in previous years so I did not have much to look at and compare to. there were lots of complete axles in trailers, and a few series...

Over the years the number of landys in the carpark has decreased significantly. I remember going when I first bought the 110 and you could spend an hour or so wandering around the carpark looking at the different vehicles because 90% were land...
