Right, quick update for you all. The Rangy has had a new stub axle, new fan belts new door switches and brakes re bled tonight. Last night I put the road wheels back on and took it for a drive. All good, gearbox is okay with no clunk when you lift the clutch to speak of but can be a swine getting into third and fourth. Oh and the speedo has stopped working [emoji35] can't find a problem but there is one somewhere. Checked the plug but still nothing. Suggestions would be welcome on this one. It now runs a LT230 Instead of the Borg & Warner as for some reason the B&W wouldn't separate from the old box so the disco one went in for ease, again suggestions welcome. Right road test and towing test this weekend, taking the GF to a eventing morning on Sunday. Might join the AA [emoji12]

Stu, I don't know about diesel Rangies with manual box but speedo on mine is electronic - I had to replace the speed sensor on mine, it could be that you too have an electronic speedo and the sensor has died, unfortunately as far as I am aware, you can only use an RRC speed sensor and new they are quite pricey for what they are. Anyway, I could be way off beam here but perhaps something for you to look in to. The sensor is a small box attached to the chassis rail on passenger side, if it has one I'm sure you'll find it. HTH.
 
You are spot on Kev. It was working before the box swap but not now. Might have damaged something doing the swap over. Will investigate that after pay day
 
Well it's all ready for it's first outing being a snooty Rangy. All clean, on the outside anyway, trailer on waiting to take the GF the lab and the oss to a one day event tomorrow [emoji2]

Yeah that will be moved, it needs a new bonnet but as it's competing in the RTV at the ALRC Nationals next weekend it can stay put until I make a new bracket to mount it central on the bumper

Amazing job you have done, beyond my patience:)
 
Leaving on Friday [emoji12] got to get Jack from school sorted and fed, probably leaving about 6 but I think Joules is leaving earlier
 
Me and my old man will hopefully leave by about 11.30 ish Friday. I got weds and Thursday off to finish any Last min bits because I thought I was taking the 80. May spend a day or two in that get the darn thing welded up once and for all weather permitting!!

i assume it is the cable drive one, just check the cable is in the square drive properley, other than that cable could be broke
 
The new centre console is coming along nicely. Getting used to the Plasma cutter now, just need to file the switch hole's bend the switch plate and fit
