I have a 10 ton and a 20 ton jack lying around.... I've decided to make a press, after using one at a garage (huge 50 ton beast). I shall be passing by the old metal shop later today, and i'll hopefully get to work this afternoon.

I haven't done any lifts personally, but it sounds to me as if it accommodates the radius arms from a discovery or older defender. My 86 90 front radius arms were probably about 5-10mm shorter than the disco ones, but only on the bracket you have the 4 bolts that go on the axle, if you see what...

Thanks, i'll look in to them ;)

What tires are you runnin? I like the looks of them...

Started painting the old leaf springs, just until i can afford some proper parabolic springs, but they are not the 1st thing on my shopping list. Got a paddock order in, everything i need to get the front and rear axles restored! Been doing some other stuff in preparation. 1 rear leaf...

Right, so my X member is a replacement unit, but i think the bent X member may have been badly corroded to have bent the way it did... it was very bad, it's a shame i didn't take a picture of it!

Once restored, my series 3 might be doing some light towing and stuff like that, but when i went to see a guy about tires, the cross member on his series 2 it was completely bent backwards because he had been doing snatching/towing around his yard. I do NOT want that happening to mine, what are...

What makes you think it's the diff? what evidence is there as to it being the diff?

Picked up an axle yesterday.... it wasn't complete, but i got some halfshafts and other various useful parts from it, final drive unit and everything. The casing is in really good condition, even though i had already painted the other one, this looks in better condition so i'm going to use that...

Is it anything similar to what i was getting here?

Well i had a very similar problem when i tried to get my series 3 diesel to start, it's most likely going to be air in the fuel lines. In my case, i kept cranking it over until it fired and cleared the air in the system, though there are ways of bleeding the system out which are a bit more...

by the looks a diesel engine, i'm assuming?

Series 2... petrol or diesel engine? would be good to know...

Thought i would carry on posting on the ORIGINAL restoration fred, instead of starting a newen all the time. Should get some parts ordered reasonably soon to make it a rolling chassis again, it's been a while since i was able to push a chassis around instead of carrying it everywhere...

Cos that's how life works with a tratter :D

Well, bollocks. :D I may have to improvise the way it was before..

well i got f6-5 stamped on the selector casing but nowt on the gearbox

I will check them...

Well i got me a mismatched pair then, when i took the selector top off, there was a copper spacer in between the 2 pieces, if it wasn't there, the selector shafts would bind between the 2 casings

Christ knows! i don't know who would be willing to pay that money for it..
