I have been tempted, but tbh I'm not quite sure what to do ha! Where do i cut to leave the bolt shanks intact.

I have got a pair of replacement heavy duty flanges ready to go on. And Bolts too of course :cool2:

I'd get a thin cutting disc and cut the lugs off that the bolts go through. Then grind away the lugs on the outside of the bolt shanks so you can split the remains of the lugs off. Trying not to dig into the hub, of course, so it doesn't leak in future. Then you might be able to knock the middle bit of the flange loose. It's obviously not stuck to the hub too badly because all your oil is getting out.
 
if you've fitted a winch I'd use the bearmach HD springs on the front, don't need lifted ones then just standard height but plus 50lbs or go heavier if you want

It already has a two inch sus lift, but the chap at the landy place that did my tires recommended that the front just needed lifting no more than that to level it out - spacers just seemed the cheapest option for now - but will prob upgrade my springs at a later date - Cheers Doc!
 
rear of the vehicle will always be higher than the front, heavier rated springs to account for 1/2t to 3/4t payload plus towing
 
Took off the front prop cos the UJ was about to explode. Has never seen a drop of grease in its life from the looks of it and the cups just do not wanna come out
 
Ruined my new rad.....was fitting the bottom oil cooler union and stripped a thread :( didn't notice the pipe had twisted slightly and sent it off course!


So I've had to fit the only spare oil cooler I have which is a mocal 16 row thing then do a Heath Robinson style bracket! On the plus side my bonnet still shuts and it didn't leak under load

I've lost track, so you're going to have to mention which Land-Rover you're talking about! :p
 
Went on a little shopping spree!

Leather Gearstick/Handbrake Gaiter
Fatmat Sound Deadening
Rubber Mat Edge/Corner Protectors
New Rubber Bulkhead Mat
HD Velcro to hold the rubber down flat

Yes leather. Its high quality, tough and wipe clean!

Stripping out the front cab next week for a deep clean, touch up, paint (check for rust :) ) and sound proofing.

That's the 200tdi 109


However the exhaust on the series one is sorted :eek: well I say sorted.....I really mean it's just running straight off the headers and ten I angled some bits of pipe towards the floor
And yes there's a video. Just let me get inside and sort out a link
