I'll try to post some pics tonight so that you can all see my particular issue.

Oh, and stilsons won't fit. There's not even enough room for mole grips. Calipers suck!!

Yup, did that, selected the correct size, then walloped it on with a 4lb limp hammer. Once seated I almost had to jump up and down on it to move it. Then all it did was take a slightly rounded bolt and turn it completely round. Stage 2 involved using the size down and really hammering the...

Nope, it's no good. Looks like a nut is going to get welded on. Bollocks! This is my first Landy, and I've replaced quite alot of kit now and this is the first nut that has come close to defeating me. I really hope the the one is ok.....

I'm planning on patching mine with 3mm all round. Mostly side Walls but will be using the same on the underside. Planning on doing it at the weekend, so I'll keep you all posted. I'll try to get piccys too!

I've not tried that yet. That's my final solution, short of stripping the whole assembly off the axle and taking to my local forge/miracle shop.

I've no problem with nuts that can't be solved with a handy angle grinder! I should have said that my issue is with bolts. They're bastards.

It's not terminal, but it definately needs surgery!!

You need to be aware though, if the nut is properly seized these irwins will round your nut off COMPLETEY. I've got a seized nut on my brake calipers and the irwin set has rounded it off totally. My problem is that I cannot get anything else onto it. Hope you have better luck!!

Tidy work that redhand. Looks to me like you've got some experience with metal work!

Looks tidy that!

I guess that as you've looked everywhere else, the only thing left is maybe the ignition switch it's self maybe faulty. I've never heard of one failing before but I might be worth a try?

They need to be red, and I've got a job lot. Yours for just £40.00!!

WLM, that goes beyond the sublime. Never have I read such twaddle!

Any probs opening the door from the inside? Could just be the linkage to the lock pully uppy thingy ( technical talk ) is slightly catching and needs adjusting. Or the mechanism is buggered. Cheap to replace though.

I got a 13"er. Not sure about me steering wheel though. ( Come on, someone had to go there!!)

I'll give it a go, looks like my most used tool is coming out of the box, brute force and ignorance!! Thanks for the advise!!

Has anyone ever seen an extractor? I can't get mine off, no matter what I try. I spoke to my local landy salvager and he reckons they've never had to use one. Advice please !

We go through a lot at the forge, but Bosch outlast anything else. Quality discs do make a difference. We got a bunch or DeWalts, thinking that they would be at least as good as Bosch right? Wrong. They suck, and are expensive.

Yeah, total madness. Welcome to the new 'Americanised' litigation society, where no-one has to take resposibilty for themselves.
