    Brake pipe fittings?

    Yes it's the one iv got. Got it from eBay. If you get one. I'd make sure the one you get has the stop bolt for the pipe length. If you're always doing brake pipes you can judge it. But I usually go years between so it's helpful having the length set first.

    Underseal and rust prevention

    Iv started using epoxy primer. Have been using it like a sealer. You clean up the metal and remove as much rust as possible. The you can spray or brush it on. I then use a zinc phosphate primer followed by chassis black or an enamel paint.

    Should I be worried?

    Don't worry about it. Let her drive. If it breaks down its broken down. My wife uses mine when her 2015 golf is broken. She does 2 hours of driving a day with country lanes and motorway. Normally take the insa turbos off it for her tho. They call her Vera and play the sound track when she's...

    Starter Motors

    Was 3 years ago. Was in the same box as this one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153903735272 They don't say bosch on them now tho. Maybe I just got lucky tho It came with a bosch spec sheet l. I'd probably still go for this one tho. Could still be a rebranded one. Sorry chaps.

    How to top up transfer box without a pump

    Either a small litre bottle with the flexible top. Or a sports drink bottle will work well. I carry one full of oil for when I go away if incase I need a top up. Iv got a little sealey bottle with a pump on the top for in the garage. Works well. Tho only have it as it was a Christmas present.

    Broken shock absorber do I change all?

    Normally you replace the shock absorbers in pairs. If the springs are OK id leave them. If your vehicle is old you could replace the lot. You can get new take off springs and shocks for under £200. If you just replace the shocks I recommend Armstrong. They're very good quality and sensibly...

    Battery problem Good Battery Supplier?

    Tayna are great. Iv had my NUMAX battery in for 10 years. Check your charging voltage aswell to make sure its not under or over charging. 4 years isn't very long for a battery. Tho cheap one can only last that long. If you charge your battery is it alright then for awhile? I find with short...

    Galvanised ‘paint’.

    Iv used the zinc primer from toolstation and screw fix. It's weldable aswell. Still in place on parts of my galvanised chassis 10 years later. I had to change the mounts and rad mounts. I use it mainly on the inside of sections I'm welding. It's really cheap. If you didn't like it after a while...

    Winch - it’s not working

    With the cheaper winches you need to run them once a month. You could have any problems from a stuck solenoid to rusted brushes. Buy a cover for your winch for when you're not using it. If you look on YouTube you'll find lots of winch videos. They're very straightforward. My father bought 2...

    Rear Lights

    Tho double check the screw holes line up with the lenses. This would be my preferred way as you're not drilling the tub. Tho it's not really a problem redrilling the tub as it'll be behind the lights anyway.
