Honestly I don’t know, I’d had thought you’d pay back what they paid you for the write off so you’d be at net zero. Not sure as first write off tbh. I don’t want to test it then find out I can’t buy it back and i’m a lot worse off. No the...

No problem. He’s not made his mind up what engine is going in but if it’s the diesel then yeah I’ll message you. 👍

Thanks mate ended up picking up a fairly cheap supposed runner however if the engine does come available please give me a shout I think I'll start hoarding them so I can be that smug git that goes "well I've got one for sale but they are pretty...

Can you take the insurance value and buy the wreck off them? Then at least you can salvage what is worthwhile. Are you sure the chassis is fecked? I can't help but think it'd take a heck of a lot of heat to do that. whatever, best of luck...

Helluva loss but at least you and any of your family weren’t hurt. That would have been a disaster. Hope you get sorted out there.

Cheers, I’ll be better when I’m sat in a working disco 2 TD5 LOL! Yea I’m good and the family, only was car and garage stuff so very lucky really. I do have contents insurance for the house so I’m thinking they will cover the stuff lost but...

It is fully insured, comp too but the cash value they’ll pay is around 2.2k and I obviously can’t strip a lot of anything off that has had all the new parts, front axle for example. That’s if they’ll actually cover it and not put it under...

Absolute Agony, hope you feel better soon, have to try and find some positives out of this at the end of the day it can be replaced you can’t. There may be more salvageable parts other than just the front end. House insurance might cover other...

Hi all, I’ve seen an old blog regarding the same subject matter but thought I’d raise this for my old girl. My truck is a 90 TD with original J Series engine. The fuel filter is situated on the driver side on the front bulkhead in the engine...

OK, I'm going to dare to say it. Isn't insurance involved?

Sorry for your loss😞 Thankfully it did not spread to the house! Kev

Well todays the day that I’ve been waiting 6mths for …. Its painting time …. Few minor adjustments with the mixing ratio and Ive got the hang of this Selamix 5-1-20%

Thought I’d add to the ‘range’… 😉

Hobsons have one new one in stock.

Man I feel for you. :(:(:(:(:(:(

Is that a filter in the brake reservoir or has it been filled with tomato soup? 😃

I appreciate the comments @pscan.eu and @Alibro I will be keeping this in mind for the future for sure, however, I was already planning to use custom brake lines for this vehicle (it is not a daily driver or even remotely close to such) so the...

If the motor runs, but doesn't unlock there's probably stripped gears inside. Most P38 latches suffer failing microswitches, but the motors do fail - mainly the brushes. I have repaired some of mine. There's about 6 or 7 screws holding...

Anyone else got this channel fitted? Maybe @Wagon Loon you have this? Once I get this right I’ll get the installation finished. Meanwhile I fitted the grab rail, as I was fed up tripping over it 😊

Been a bit slow progress of late as I’ve been on holiday. Been desperate to make some decent progress, so ploughed on with the other rear side windows. Got all the lower and upper channels fitted, windows cleaned of old overspray and gunk and...
