    New or secondhand mig welder?

    Stupid question, but what's the difference between the blue and red Clarkes? Welders seem to hold their value so I'd prefer to buy new if possible and get a warranty etc but that limits the options due to budget... This one does 30-150 amps:Clarke MIG Welder (Turbo) - 151TE - Machine Mart as...

    New or secondhand mig welder?

    I'm in the same boat so tagging along for the answer :D Looking at this one: Clarke MIG 145 No-Gas/Gas MIG Welder - Machine Mart or something off feebay... The Machine Mart reviews say it is good for Land Rovers though :cool:

    2.25 diesel - oil light always on...

    So I don't want to tempt fate, but I think I've fixed it :D Well, I've found the problem - need a few bits from Halfords to fix it properly. There's a bit of a rats nest behind the dash, looks like someone had a fit with a bowl of spaghetti! Among it all is a loose negative wire which was...

    How heavy is a 2.25 diesel?

    Well the 2 ton arrived today, very pleased with the delivery - I only ordered it yesterday! In terms of quality, it seems OK for the money. The paintwork is scratched just from shipping, no big deal though as this is a tool not an ornament - I just won't leave it out in the rain :D The main...

    2.25 diesel - oil light always on...

    Cool thanks, that makes life easier. I've had a play with the electrics and I'm confused... there is only 1 wire going to the sensor, if I unplug this the light stays on. If I short the wire direct to the negative battery terminal (skipping sensor) the light stays on... surely the light should...

    How heavy is a 2.25 diesel?

    Will go for the 2 ton, s'pose it'll have a safer working limit and so be more versatile - should be able to lift the whole truck with it :p Will report back on quality for anyone else in the market :) Cheers

    How heavy is a 2.25 diesel?

    Stupid question I know, but I can't find the answer.... I'm looking to buy an engine crane and I'm not sure whether to go for the 1 ton: 1 TON FOLDING HYDRAULIC ENGINE CRANE/HOIST/LIFT | eBay Or whether to fork out the extra £30 for the 2 ton: 2 Ton Professional Folding Engine Crane /...

    How do I know which series?

    First off check here: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/showthread.php?t=56680 Then if you're still stuck post some pics. Going by the age yours will either be a IIa or a III. Main differences are the headlights, dash, windscreen hinges and sills.

    New project - stood for 31 years - 1959 S2

    yay, another build/resto thread! :nopics: Re freeing the box, it depends why it's seized, if it's just full of mud/crud a good wash will be a good place to start. If it's rusted together it's a but more involved... :)

    2.25 diesel - oil light always on...

    On a side note, the MOT runs out on Friday, but this could take a while to fix... If the truck is taxed and insured, but no MOT do I need to sorn it? It's tax exempt and I'll get nothing back on the insurance so would be easiest if I can just leave it...

    2.25 diesel - oil light always on...

    I had the sump off and cleaned the gunk out (wasn't much in it tbh), changed the oil and filter back in January this year so there shouldn't be any crud in it, will have a check though. To be honest if the sump needs to come off I might as well whip the engine out for a minor overhaul as it's a...

    2.25 diesel - oil light always on...

    Hi all, The oil light on my 2.25 diesel (3mb) won't go out... It's full of oil, to the point it usually is (H on the dipstick, anything less and the light stays on), but the light is still on... the light usually comes on with the ignition and goes off once the engine is started, the only...
