May be a silly question, but is the battery any good?

One of the party tricks that impresses the kids is to walk across the floor in bare feet and then show them your heat signature on the floor. Brownie points for dad!

I've seen much worse. Totally agree with b3nc123, probably time to learn a new skill. Try and find a mate with a welder who will help you out before you upset your Mrs even more by buying something else!!!!!!!

My eldest lad has just joined the Army. He's 17 today, and he's saving up for a Td5 90 when he passes his test (which the Army will very kindly pay him to do!) He will be looking for insurance later on this year/beginning of next year, so any pointers would be useful. Ta

Interesting. I had quite a lot to do with these toys when I was in the Army. We were testing one one day, and at 300m we could tell that a FV432 moving across the field had a road wheel bearing that was running hot. Good fun.

You are of course correct. However, I think 'tightened with the tips of a large pair of grips' needs a bit of help. Unfortunately I don't know the correct torque setting for the inner locknut, but I am sure you will be able to help.

Just make sure you use v. good sealant. And don't forget to keep an eye on the P gasket.

Specially as the rear calipers have a bad habit of wearing out so the pads can drop out.

I'm not sure what you're asking. The axles are standard to the model, with a few notable exceptions. So your D1 axle is the same as mine. Hope this helps.

If you look on fleabay you will almost certainly find a socket or spnner to fit. I did a few years ago. And it should be TIGHT.

+1 to all above. Also make sure front axle driveshafts are well greased in the hub. Good luck!

Plain. Unfortunately no, I'm heading down that way in Oct. Have fun.

You'll have fun doing it, you'll learn loads and save a shedload of pennies. Get decent quality replacement bits, get rid of all the rust, and it'll be as good as new!!!

If its not too bad, you might get away with filing it out with a round file, as long as the circlip will fit. But long term, you will definitely need a new propshaft

+1. For the cost, I always use a new hub seal as the old one is probably shot.

Its OK to leave the soundproofing and carpets out. As long as you've got some ear defenders!

I think I'd agree with Dr Evil. Scorpions take some beating for road use and greenlaning.
