Hicap phill's latest activity

Hmmm, of course they did! Someone clearly having second thoughts, of they've told the wife and she said not a chance :D

@dag019 Just having visions of a dog in a cage on the roof rack… Ours go to sleep when out in classic runs

Correct. 4psi is the max pressure the pump can make against a dead head. It ticks away for a few seconds just before starting the engine then stops. I never hear it when the engines running. Makes bleeding the fuel system a doddle too. I fit 1/8"...

I gave up with them years ago. I use a facet 4psi pump, hole in the block capped off.

Evening all, Just a quick post to say I'm just back from a road test in the 109 since installing my 200 tdi conversion, and wow, what a difference it makes. I know that seems a bit obvious, but it's just so much more usable in every way. I...

Have you got any landrover shops near you that you can walk into & check part numbers ? Had a Quick Look & nothing found. (Only the rally car kits) What part of the country are you?

To get DVLA information register as a car park owner. You'll get details no bother.

Oh no! Mine had a couple of small bits in the same places, seems like a common place to start rusting through. For me it went from investigating why there was a circular plate screwed onto the crossmember, to cutting some holes, buying a new...

Thought I’d sand down a couple of spots to give the rear a lick of paint and uncovered a rust collection. Bugger.

Started at £4500, minimum “buy now” price allowed by eBay was £5600, someone grabbed it. They don’t know this yet but I found some more bits & pieces in the garage today I’m throwing in! I did say it came with some spares!

Traffic Circle if you don't mind. They do have them, but not very many. ;)

Morning All. :D Another scorcher for us I think. :) Might go out on the trike later. Have a great day. :D

Tis already hot out there. Fill up yer burd baffs.

Mornin Warm and sunny Watered me plants early Cleaning Freelander boot area today, get it nice for the road trip, noticed a handy 12v socket in there for me kettle :p Chinese shooting stick arrived this morning, better quality than expected :)...

...took the Mini out for a blatt round the town, no problems noticed. Will check the plugs later. Also took the trike out and did a 10 mile loop around Canvey Island in the sunshine. :D That's twice in just few days. :)

Knee a bit better then Dan? 👨‍⚕️

Dunt the pedalling hurt your legs after a couple of miles?

Yes, just a little. As long as I don't go crazy with the PUSH effort it seems to cope. :) Weird seeing as one day last week I could not walk up or down the stairs on the right leg. As the trike is e-assist I am not having to do all the work I...

The e-assist is a big help without it I doubt that the cycling would be possible. But, I do my best to keep the e-assist level low enough that I am also putting effort into the system against the resistance so that my muscles get a bit of work to...

@Matt Poiner Had a Quick Look for you. Like mine & comes with the ends to connect pipe onto

B918 vas 1985 v8 petrol

You will regret only doing a section, cut it all off & do it properly. There is more prep than welding.

The entire day, apparently 😱

Have to ask @MGT …

Been staring at rubber grommets for too long...Google is great but the amount of slop served up leaves a needle in a haystack type search. They are close enough. And cheap enough to have a punt and see. And...the brackets are still at a point...

Tbh it is no bad thing. Letting the torque spin out protects the driveline to an extent The issue with the m57 is that it makes a lot of torque very low down I have put a pneumatic centre diff lock in but I doubt I will ever use it unless I get...

Undo that nut on the top, in the middle, the bottom and canister will drop out ... Heres what a new one looks like ... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222520618352 Other sellers exist

Get a V8 110 of an 85 landrover.(if you need a reg number to order I can give you mine) . same shape as the facet(barrel type) and a lot cheaper. Mounted mine in the engine bay by the brake servo. I do forget to turn it on some days & it still...

I've seen this mysterious starting behaviour before. The Landy concerned had two bad segments on the the starter's commutator. This means a lottery when going for a fresh start, as it depends on where the motor stopped rotating the last time it...

Already done ..just putting feelers out in all directions lol
