Remove the nut put a bit of emery on a flat surface and give it a quick rub is the way I've done it in the past

The main problem was the trailer draw bar was bent don't know what they'd had on there but it was heavy!! were the draw bar was...

Ashcroft used to get there boxes from whitehouse!! Mine managed 750 miles before being rebuilt again ( I dealt direct with whitehouse for the rebuild) in all honesty wouldn't bother with another series box would try and fit something a bit stronger!

Sorted!!!! Found to be an air leak well done all those who suggested!! I have removed the coolant device from the underside of the throttle and the bolts that hold it on go through into the manifold, sounds obvious now sat here typing but was pulling my hair out!!

Spend a week sleeping in my Land Rover every year and have done for some time An 80" is big enough for anyone I am 6 foot 3 and fit just fine! Does help if you have good weather as it's quite cramped trying to do everything inside,

If anyone is interested there are a pair of disco 2 axles on midland rover owners club facebook for £200 (not mine and nothing to do with me)

What's one of them?? To be honest it would be the chassis end that was more of a concern to me but don't suppose it would be terrible to do

Must admit we are planning to try the disco 2 rear end and if it proves to hang us up a lot we will retrofit the a frame, as you say it's a lot of work I would rather not do but if we have to we will! Would be really interested to see any short cuts!

I've got one of them transfer boxes I think they come off the 3 speed Range Rover boxes? If anyone wants it make me an offer, Yep will be at Sewell tomorrow haven't trialled in a while so prob be a nice high score!! If your planning on building a Trialer I'd give yourself at least a year...

Yep Borg Warner, only worry is disco 2 rear suspension but if it causes a problem I'm sure we can modify move on and adapt!!

Hi hope you don't mind me asking but what have you used to make your spats (tyre covers)?? My dad and I are currently building a Trialer and are getting to the point where we need to start thinking about this problem, we have also used disco 2 axles so big spats are a must!

Ok having read a bit further I realise nobody is going to post up grid references and things like that! personally I am a responsible user of the lanes and like the fact that you guys don't give out this information to any fool so they can go and rip up the country side. can anyone recommend...
