Before trainers were invented, it was a gym shoe, for those who remember them. 🤣 But that was in Avon or Zummerset, or Glowwwcestershire!!

Put the boards on top. Less stress on the metal work. If you done the angle iron method bet you would catch your legs on them unless you remove these after use.

😨 15 year old battery is going some!, when you checked the earth straps does that mean you removed them wire brushed terminals clean including where they mount on chassis / engine and you have done same with positive connections , battery...

It’s a dap for a trainer in Wiltshire

Donno. Got a parts manual? Google the part number and you'll get the thread and dimensions.

Hmmm. How would you tell if the chassis was still OK? Not that you'd be bothered on selling it, if you are a dyed-in-the-wool scrote. This has got me thinking. If the running gear is still OK, i.e. bushes etc, tyres, shocks it MAY be an...

Cheers guys! Really appreciate all the help. Will have a look round.

Hi all quick question, What are the sizes of the following: Nuts to mount the gearbox to the engine? The two top bolts which mount the flywheel housing to the engine? Running a late 2a petrol. thanks in advance!

So hot at the moment got some weeding done

Cheers buddy, yeh i've seen them. But not had any luck finding the one thats got both male and female connections. Only seen either single female or double female. Could i simply replace this connector with a double female and replace the single...

Dee yee nae hev Wickes north of the border? Bet there is a Scots equivalent.

Wots wix ??

I've had another look at the pics and agree it doesn't actually look disastrously bad. electrical bits under the dash seem to have only had smoke on them, which shouldn't hurt, much! There is a company that offers kits you can convert a Disco...

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

No, he's thinking about Dan's version :cool:

I think you should buy a couple of these ... https://www.budget-fire.co.uk/product/5kg-co2-fire-extinguisher https://www.screwfix.com/c/safety-workwear/fire-extinguishers/cat850454?fireextinguishertype=co2 Or if (like me), there is no...

Went to Wix this morning to collect me noo lawn sprinkler. Not had any rain for a while and ground is getting parched. Also got some noo 5mm and 6mm HSS drill bits as the ones I have been using for the last couple of decades are now scrap.

Assuming the Nanocom is reading the ECU correctly, then surely "right side airbag" is the one in side of the seat back ? Hence the connector under the seat, not the steering wheel clockspring..

Seeing as the thread is 10.5 years old, I think you are not wrong :D The Pilgrims post could win the oldest post resurection of the week award too ...

Yea I’ve decided I’m probably just going to remove anything on value off the body that is salvageable, get rid of the body check over the chassis backend that the fire was at and rear axle. If all seems ok then I’ll just wheel the chassis, engine...

They are called Lucas connectors ... eBay is your friend (other sellers are out there) ... https://www.ebay.co.uk/shop/lucas-connectors?_nkw=lucas+connectors

https://www.autosparks.co.uk/land-rover-defender-90-110-chassis-wiring-harness-442 Maybe they have something you can use.

Clean connectors with electrical cleaner with before coupling back together. When I had it it was the connector behind panel below steering wheel . 4 screws to remove panel, yellow wires are SRS, pull connector apart spray refit

The internal box sections of the tub (wheel arches) are pretty robust and would support planks running across the car. You could sit on them, lie on them etc and probably carry a few hundred kilo's if the planks/boards were robust enough. I...

I reckon they might have found one or given up by now.

Eyup guys. First time posting here so hopefully doing it right... had to disconnect the wiring loom to pull through chassis rail for a xmember repair. Disconnected the ground/earth connections for the gearbox and found theyre pretty knackered...

I arrived back in the UK today so will start to get the RR sorted and up for sale or at least one of them. Flew from Brisbane to Bankock with Singapore Airlines and then flew up to Chang Ria the next day with Air Asia and spent a couple of day...

Don't know if this would be any use as I think you are probably on the right needle now. And I apologise for having told you the needle for an MG Metro, altho TBH none of us knew it wasn't an MG engine...

Hi @Wagon Loon , thanks for your reply. The channel seems to fit vertically at the rear end of the sliding window. See image below. They way it was previously fitted seems to be incorrect as it would not seal correctly.

I think we are beginning to say the same thing now. Weaken the mixture a bit, and or change the plugs. If the engine really is a standard as it seem to be, now, I'd go with weaken ing the mix a tad to begin with. OK, this is for bikes, but a...
