You can get a rubber or leather "boot" to cover the swivel housings however most think that they just hold water and grit and are more trouble than they are worth. I had some on an S111 a few years ago but the motor was nicked before I had chance to make a judgement. I've not had them on any...

According to my chart the recommended maximum torque applied to an M12 class 12.9 bolt should be 130Nm lubricated or 165Nm dry. For class 4.8 bolts those figure drop to 40/50Nm which is an enormous difference. Is it possible that the original UNF bolts were high tensile, the equivalent of class...

This is very true and somewhat indefensible however most of us that have ridden motor bikes for 40 years develop an unbelievable prescience and 6th sense that makes for survival under the difficult circumstances that is motoring today whatever vehicle we are driving. I remember a quite a few...

Having been a biker before a driver I can sympathise, it pi$$es me off when I see just how stupid, myopic a$$wipes in cars drive around completely oblivious to everything outside there air conditioned, airbagged, computerised tin boxes. How's this for an idea, you have to pass your test on...

+1 I drive my 'fender in the same way, I did nearly 40 yeas on motorbikes and survived so there must be something worthwhile in that advice.

I too find that people give my old defender, with all the bits of heavy duty ironmongery fastened to it a wide berth. White vans, buses, little old ladies in Korean hatchbacks they all seem to avoid being in close proximity, I could get a complex!! Or as I said to the lady in the car park...

I have helicoiled expensive Porsche callipers under instruction from the boss. Personally I wouldn't do it to my own vehicle. 'fender callipers are so cheap, just buy a new one. While you're at it do both would be my advice.

I did mine a couple of months ago. New discs, pads, rebuilt callipers with new pistons and seals to all 4 wheels. Examined and repacked wheel bearings and replaced all the brake pipes. Finished off with rebuilding the master cylinder. It's all very doable and straight foreword. The only real...

I think you are talking about the lock stops. The idea is you adjust the bolt in and out so when it touches the swivel housing Bolt on full lock nothing else touches, on mine its the tyres that are the limiting factor. Obviously the further out they are adjusted the poorer full lock will be.

Barnsley might be a bit further away than the others mentioned but Metal Magic have a pretty good reputation Metal Magic Alloy Wheel Refurb in Barnsley

I remember years ago a full(?) a oxygen cylinder was charged to the 240 tonne electric arc furnace where I worked. It made a hell of a bang and quite a mess, fortunately no one was hurt. Procedures were changed to ensure it never happened again, no whole cylinders were allowed in the charge...

I've got one of those blue socket jobbies on the wall of my garage with a dedicated 20 amp breaker, no problems using mine on full power. I use a big caravan extension lean so there are no problems with voltage drop if I'm working at some distance from the socket.

After owning a Clarke minimig 100e for about 20 years I bought a Clarke 151en. The 100 amp model was not really up to chassis welding without careful weld prep. The 150amp unit is more than enough. Of course you can spend a lot more money and get a "better" machine but for home use and sticking...

I'll have one of the big propane ones if it's any help, they make good air receivers.

Its a drain hole, when wading it should be fitted with the correct wading plug, when not wading it should be open to the atmosphere to allow any oil etc to drain.

So is this the RRC that's been parked up in Huddersfield Land Rover Centres showroom for the last few years, they have always claimed theirs was chassis #001 I'm sure it's got the same reg' no'

I understand that this is what we are being told, so how come Merc' can sell the GWagon and Jeep can sell the Wrangler both have similar profile and build issues. As for emissions the current Defender has the latest transit engine there is no reason why it can't have the next generation engines...

Land Rover, the last bastion of the old style British car industry. They build poor quality cars, sell them at inflated prices and give appalling after sales service. Jaguar seem to have sorted this under TATA's ownership why not Land Rover.

I don't think Britpart deal direct, they are a supplier to the trade and will therefore negotiate prices individually with the dealers/
