Thanks, 17 now :) last exam is a week today so after that I'll be able to start driving lessons :D and finish this off. Might start looking out for another project :p
 
Engine mounts arrived today, and what a difference they make!

Just connected the battery and tried to turn the key- dead just the clicking relay. I hope this is just a flat battery and it's now on charge so I'll report back later, either with a video of it running or I won't report back because I'll be trying to solve the problem. Wish me luck.
 
Got it started at last. Turns out it wasnt the flat battery but the earth for the starter solenoid relay wasn't connected. Too late to post the video tonight but there seems to be a major problem with the transfer box :/

i found the dash earth.. it turns out is is in the same place as a 300,200,etc right of brake servo :doh:

missed it due to a load of paint ;)

i thought your xfer and gearbox were new.. you did fill with oil didn't you :D
 
The gearbox was an ashcroft but the transfer box has been done by me. All the bearings have been changed, diff gears, crosspin, input gear and intermediate shaft. I followed the manual to the letter and took loads of pictures so I'm quite sure its all gone back together the way it came out.
 
if youve got the wrong input it will feel a little notchy as you turn box over, put it in diff lock g/box in neutral and turn hand brake drum
 
another common issue is putting a too long a bolt in the front g/box to t/box securing bolts, it catches intermediate gear or can do
 
I think you have just saved me a whole load of pain. When putting the box on I wasn't sure about lengths of bolts so I'll try taking the bolt out at the bottom which I think should probably be a stud and try running it again :)
 
All finished for exams!

Got a new jack, and what a difference it makes:
