The flying lead off the back is the positive, and would have been connected to the solenoid which is essentially a giant switch between that cable and the cable to the battery. The motor earths through the casing onto the block. You could put an earth jump lead to the motor bolt/casing but it...

The top bottom bracket can be fitted using the existing mounts. It is only the reel Itself that you need to find a way of mounting. On my hardtop I mounted this to some 10mm angle iron that was bolted to the original position on the rear bulkhead tha the static belt used. But this not an option...

That one. The ring terminal going into the starter itself will spin the engine over if you put a jump Lead onto from the battery. I would favour bump starting if it was not a 19j. My 200tdi takes so little to start that I can get it loving smiley, jump into the cab, put it in gear and drop the...

Storage at all is not cheap. that is how I have justified leasing the field I now have, the cost to store the two things in it elsewhere means that after three months the field has paid for itself and the other 9 months I have a free storage and field to run the dog around in.

@Hicap phill will probably be able to help. However bear in mind that any hicap that has has been used is likely to have a fairly battered rear tub (no judgment of @HiCapphills land rover intended!)

I agree with the above and to be honest even if you buy a new one rather than rebuilding your current ones (which I am currently doing) I would still fit stainless piston before fitting. If they are new you dont need to do anything else just remove the old piston and slot the new one in.

Or you will find out what it is worth and not sell it. I like watching the vehicles trying to be sold that get put up as a classified a couple of times and dont sell, then an auction that doesn't sell and reaches half the classified price a couple of time, and then disappear. The auctions tend...

yep, that is the same with the major, original book spec is S.A.E. 30 H.D in engine, gearbox, and rear end (also the hydraulics on a major). Although there is a school of thought to use modern multi grade oils as you can still get HD30 I run that.

I don’t like keeping count. It makes keeping the vehicle even less justifiable than it already is! I have all the paperwork and could add incoming wanted to. But I feel the actual Figure would make me sick!

Cannot agree more with the above! I bought the boomslang kit and was very unimpressed. I then Set about modifying it to run direct from the battery and for the relays to be in a sensible position and then gave up and stripped it for parts. With what I paid to half modify it I could have custom...

Fairly sure the 1600 in the mga takes 20/50 as well. Interestingly the tractor which should fit that description is straight 30wt.

I will watch this with interest as I also have a 5mb all be it diesel and I run 20/50 in mine.

That was my first through as well. If that is the case you can build up the switch contacts with solder so they make contact again as a temporary fix while you wait for the new part to arrive.

These are the diagrams I have in my parts manual. I would assume a 200tdi is the same as the 2.5. As most changes came in with the 300tdi.

Yes but they are also the people who spend more time cleaning it than using it.
