    You can use pure CO2 as it shields the weld pool just fine. What it does do however is cool the weld very quickly. This means you need to use much more power to obtain the same penetration as can be achieved with a tri-mix gas. This means more splatter etc. Pure CO2 is used when combined with...

    A fantastic opportunity...

    I am going to have to jump in and say a few words after Jai has tried to sell this to me. OK the experience will be great. The off roading will be some of the best in the world. All great so far. The wages of £1000.00 per month sounds possible until you find out you WILL have to pay tax...

    Spyder. Those beasties look great! How much and are they tubeless? Ryder. Call me. Kris. If you had removed your bull bar and tow hitch you could have still got the same approach and departure angle! It would have cost literally ..... half an hour:doh: Maybe wouldnt have looked quite so...

    Ref:- Inch lift. First Let me say I think you are all talking about a 2 or 3 inch SUSPENSION lift. You can get a body lift kit which is basicly spacers to raise the bodyshell off the chassis but this has other complications such as steering and gearlevers etc. I would not recomend 3 inches...

    Ashcroft gearboxes - quality problems

    I dont see a problem with second hand parts. Most reconditioned gearboxes contain second hand parts. Only the parts that have been inspected and passed OK, are used. Exceptions will include gaskets, seal and bearings. All parts that fail inspection will be discarded. This is the reason it...

    Ashcroft gearboxes - quality problems

    I dont think I ever raced with david??? jai your box failed because the 3rd/4th syncro hub sliders/shifters became dislodged and held your 3rd/4th gear offset and partially engaged. This stopped you re engaging 4th and also put enough movment into the interlock system to stop you...

    Ref Spiderman and his comment about the original design being a problem. The only issue with the original 77 boxes was the 2nd gear synchro. And owners not changing the oil and/or using the wrong stuff. Poor servicing was the number 1 issue. You must change the oil every year or 12000 miles...

    Removable Tow hitch Build

    Cutting a rangie shassis with a 52mm bit and inadvertantly held in the trigger hold button! When it was almost through it snatched and as I was already leaning over it took me around and over in what must have looked like a perfect KungFu move! Never hold in the trigger release button!:frusty:

    Getting the most out of a 2.25 diesel

    A landy turbo D will go great guns. Until of course the front pulley falls off and damages the crank, the pistons crack and if it gets a sniff of overheating the head will crack. Other than that they are great pulling engines. If you can graft in an intercooler you can get the same power...

    Most gearboxs are now rebuilt to suffix D spec. Nothing special in itself really. Just the latest spec. Ref an earlier post you made. How else would you disingage 4wd? Might I suggest, and I mean this without prejudice or malice, please read the vehicle operations manual before using your...

    Disco basher is correct when he says to use a grinding wheel. You need to weaken the inner race enough so that a good and decent cold chisel can be used to crack the inner race. If you need to pound on it you need to grind more. DO NOT GO ANIMAL when doing this. Think of this as a...
