Compared to what alternative pickups? L200 in your price range is junk, isuzu of that age you’d likely hate. A Land Rover of any guise is expensive to maintain and it sucks you in to doing upgrades, tweaks and niggles. They are big 4x4s with...

Gotta remember these were high end vehicles despite being cheap now. I’ve had very few premium vehicles that have had much change left after a grand in maintenance. A d2 with a good chassis wouldn’t cost the earth to maintain? 15p with good...

That’s a lot of parts now installed and unknowns rectified. I’ve record of the cambelt being done - previous owner seemed to keep ontop of it so I’m content with that. Cooling didn’t seem bad - my temp sender is in the stat housing so think it...

She looks mean mate 😎 Did you just drill into the D44 bumper for your spotlight mounts? I’ve got some safaris than I want to install. Ideally wanted to put on the foam A bar but don’t want to drill into that.

I did think that this morning! Yeah would double up as a quick BBQ/Firepit! Maybe ill make a lil adapter to sit in the top

One of my disco 1s will need a new windscreen in order to pass MOT. Has a nice crack along the bottom and looks like someone’s fired a .22 at the drivers face. Can anyone recommend a service close to Southampton please?

Decided to make this today. Straps onto the spare wheel a ratchet strap. Plenty on holes for straps/bungees plus some hooks for wrapping/hanging recovery strops Even did a little matching basket for stuff and things.

Doubles up as a pizza oven and a kebab grill ontop?

I went to war with that pump housing. When I say the bolt was seized in the housing I mean the bolt was near enough welded to the whole. Thread was fine but I spent a good couple hours wrestling with it. I actually ended up cutting it to get the...

I pull the chain and use a spatula to load the gun, I've got a big tub of grease, with no centre piece..

Does the spatula clean up well in the dishwasher ?

And as I found the first time I made a pipe, remember to slide on the unions before making the second flare 🤪

Cheers Brian. So basically suction it in using that bottom chain plunger bit?

Normally the Wanners fill up by pushing over the center hole in the pot of grease, a bit messy but works. pull the chain and lock it then fIll.

I have a brand new pick-up. It’s excellent. I specced it exactly how I wanted. It doesn’t put a foot wrong. I don’t speed in it at all really - pointless. I then drive my disco 300tdi. Quite long in the tooth. The disco you concentrate more, you...

This^^. I am in exactly the same position and could not have put it better myself. 200tdi 110 has been my daily drive since I was 18, I do about 30k miles a year, and the wife's car just feels terrible to drive. they are perfectly capable of...

It turned up. Don’t make em like they used to comes to mind. Does anyone know if I can drop a mini cartridge straight in? I’ve only standard size her but would like to order some that fit this trigger wanner. Ta

This is perfect advice!! Your chassis may be clean on outside but if it’s dirty on the inside on the weld area you will end up with fireworks down your sleeves and weld contamination. This may end up with you chopping out a tad more than you...

How you getting on? Dippybud is referring to the end of sill to bottom of wheel arch tie in panel, it’s a bit t of a fiddle to make. Froggats sell them. I was jammy and picked two up second hand that never got used. You tie them in at bottom of...

Tried being so gentle and one of the long pump bolts still snapped in the housing. Nearly lost my sh1t then remembered I had a spare that’s in much better nick. Swapping over to the silicone hoses I have, proflow pump, waxstat, Nissen rad. Hope...

Cheers. Cooler etc as per list all on interest too mate

Initial photos, as you can see its in a stack of parts hence the photos. I can get more if required. The transfer box and transfer shifter is not included. Located on the isle of wight but as said i can stick on a pallet. The last pallet i sent...

I’m interested in the top half of it I.e. all the gearbox gear if you could send some pictures. Could you also give a location of where you are? Thanks

I’ve all dewalt and did consider it but I literally only use for my vehicle UJs!

Chuck it in the bin and start again, I spent an age recovering my 90 headlining and reinforcing the bit by the alpine windows, this has now sagged again!

Ordered a tidy looking old wanner off eBay. Thank you 👍🏻

That’s a toy 😂

As said silverline is rubbish, I would pop into machine mart and ask their advice How are you loading the grease gun? The grease gun ends from machine mart are actually very good, and are what I use at work on the milwaukee.

Anything silverline is pish, grease guns are the worse things even invented I bloody hate them & I use them every week. I loose the plot with them & launch them to fk, now get the lads to grease all my machines. Probably better with an old wanner...
