I need to pick your brains ,remember when I came down with my transfer box ?.
You said I would alway use a RR transfer box with the viscous coupling if I was off roading remember ?. I have been doing some green lanes , and the penny droped .

Good evening Martin hows it hanging?. You got time to talk. Happy new year.

They are sad , do you have gas in that part of the country?. I am pretty sure you have electricery. Powermatic do a nice indiect fired fan heater. You can get a heater that runs on waste oil ,or do you run your car on that?.

Think my poll has been binned! Cannot find it, never mind.

Dont let that stupid Vivnap tosser wind you up James. You obviously have more knowledge on Landyzone than the rest of us put together.

Hi James - where are you based amigo? Im looking for someone to setup my new freelander diff correctly, she wines at 75mph. It is the newer TVK000180 type but im sure its the cause of all my transmission noise. IRD has been diagnosed as ok, vcu is brand new with Landrover cariier bearings. Cheers. Im in Norfolk by the way - thanks for your input on my threads also!

Hi James, I need to weld some plates to the chassis of the 90. What thickness of sheet metal do I need to buy? I have a gassless mig if that matters. Thanks

thanks for your help dude top man

thank you earlier for talking me through things on the phone, really appreciate it. Ive primed what you said but my battery has gone flat now and im thinking this may be my problem, got the battery on charge now and hoping it starts in the morning. Ive looked on the net and its the right size but only have a 570 cca and ive seen some were they are 1000, do you think it may be the battery?
