that def sound like a better idea. thanks guys

in that case i think i will repair the one i have got and weld the gearbox cross member just behind it for extra strength. I'll have a look tomorrow and if it doesnt look feasable I will just have to bite the bullet and fork out the cash.

I think i'll just weld in the gearbox x-member in its place considering it costs less than a third of the price and im probably gonna smash it again sometime.

hmmm... paddocks don't seem to sell it. Is this the part im after from craddocks? Part Details thanks guys

cheers for the reply. Its seems I have ordered the wrong part and need a bell-housing x-member.

This seems like a silly question to ask, but is my series 3 swb supposed to have 2 gearbox x-members? About a foot in front of the gearbox cross member on my landy is another x-member that looks slightly different. I damaged this off-roading and have bought a newgearbox cross member and have...

Id like to do santa pod, but unsure if my landy will be ready in time. I'll have to confirm on the day.

sounds nice, but most people in the real world have to work for a living!

I wasn't asleep! I was being driven in comfort like an improtant person. I saw the blue disco go past as you were meandering your way along in the slow lane. I fell asleep after that though! :D

Thats very philosophical...............:hippie:

I obviouisly know its steel.....but i wasn't sure what grade. (although after re-reading my 1st post it does say what metal :crazy:) Mild steel is the answer I was looing for. Thanks 90truckcab. Ive never heard of the paper mushy trick. Im gonna have to try that one. Dont worry yourself mad hat...

I need to to a bit of chassis repairing. Ive read that 2-3 mm metal is good to patch the chassis, but what type of metal do I need? Thanks.

Hopefully I will have my landy well by the bank holiday then. I have managed to source a replacement diff and will get a new gear box x member for my mate to weld next week.

When you talk about the santa pod weekend, I presume there are some lanes around there?

No problem mate. Thanks for looking.
