Aint drainpipe too brittle ??

Aye up and welcome. Spent the first 25 years of my life in Stoke well Fenton and Longton until I escaped on an A & H Davey wagon 15 yr ago. You'll learn alot here but expect the **** to be ripped whilst you learn :0

Something like this ?? http://www.youtube.com/v/5zx3qKX_Pno? Would **** it if this happened

Seen this in real life and **** me is it ever ugly... Chavvy looking piece of crap hiding what could be a smart motor underneath all the blingy crap.

Actually fitted new balljoints allround using the kit for the drop arm. The others are sound but the drop arm just keeps popping the bottom cap out and spilling the cup etc on the floor. Happens when going from full lock to full lock which I do every day seeing it has the turning circle of a bus.

I know this has probably been asked a million times before but for some reason I just can't find the answer. Been up since 2 this morning and me brain is aching. Need to buy a new drop arm (preferably with balljoint included) as mine is now tired and keeps popping the bottom cap and circlip...

Finally it's time for an update. Where we left off was me, drive covered in rust that was once steel, chassis looking like something found on the sunken titanic, my arse twitching at the road ahead. I had no welding skills at all and the nearest thing I have done that comes even close to...

Dead easy in fact so much so that I even managed to do it. I defo couldn't have done it without one of these :- Halfords | Halfords Advanced Professional Impact Driver and Bits I took the door panels off first then closed the doors, Removed top hinge using brute force with impact driver...

Got some updates on this soon. It's amazing what you can do with a grinder, wire brushes, flap discs, reciprocating saws, mig welders, several ****ed up attempts and blutack.

@ Sypher Good advice thanks and I will take heed of what you have said. I have arc welded before through my work and completed basic training and most importantly I have now gained an eagerness to have a go. My old mans got 42 yrs welding experience but due to health and safety being next to...

Cheers for that bud, got an angle grinder and have started to thoroughly clean the chassis with wire wheels. No further rot found anwhere else, bonus. Rear crossmember was a bit tatty but defo not shot, cleaned it last week back to bare metal then filled the couple of small holes it had, red...

Well after the initial horror of finding chassis from hell I must now try and make a silk purse out of a sows ear. The rest of the chassis is really pretty sturdy , been all over it and beat the **** out of it with a hammer and everything sounds like it should with no extra holes or corrosion...

Just so happens my mates missus is a VOSA inpector, you reckon it worth asking her advice ? Jesus looking at the chassis it looks like the whole back end has sat in the dead sea for a month, how the hell could it ever have got a ticket. Only went around knocking it with a grinder spanner and...

Well this is interesting :- VOSA Website MOT History Date of test: 03/07/2009 Certificate issued (Pass) Odometer reading: 106,417 Miles Test number: 823********** Test station name: MID CORNWALL CLASS VII Test station number: 1ALN46 Test station telephone number...

Northbourne bud, near Bournemouth Airport in fact if I am lucky a plane may land on it. Got a fun day tomorrow for the Fire/Police/Ambulance services so tied up most of the day though.

Seems my blunt instrument wasn't blunt enough/heavy enough.

So thats it then I am fooked. Friggin balls ache thats going to be, I sure as hell aint got 3 - 4 grand spare to put a new chassis on it. What to do know is the question, get my local landy wizard to take a look and confirm the death of my landy or SORN it and start saving and working nuts...

Ok so my MOT's due and I thought I would take a look underneath and see if there was anything obvious that needed doing. Chassis looked a bit ****ty so thought what the hell just go round a give it a tap to remove any loose crap. **** me thats where everything turned to ****. Take a look at...

Thanks for clearing that up, bit by bit I am learning the way of landy and even how to use the search function :eek: Don't suppose you know what type of oil I fill it with ? Edit - A little more digging around and I found that it uses the same oil as the transfer box , so answered that...

Ok went to Ikea in Southampton to get a cheap bed for my 2 yr old daughter, sale on and only a tenner so worth the aggro. Anyway I never knew but my Landy decided to drop the oil outta what I think is the PTO or summat. Pic of thingy with leak now plugged, copper/brass washer had split...
