You can have a week off in Easter ….

Morning Checking in with the family. Hope you are well and loving the changes to the weather. My brain cell is getting more fried as the weeks go by. But the few days off recharge it quickly. Be safe & happy.

Dam… that salesman was giving me duff info then when I was buying some big tools. I do have a halfruads box but they don’t cover ratchets either. Sockets are a straight swap with the trainee cashiers

Don’t forget they have a lifetime warranty on draper as well ;)

Size of a can of coke but silver normally. Some are by the fuel tank (drivers side chassis rail) I have seen some in the engine bay on the bulkhead

You sure it said snap on??

Have you checked all the screws holding the body together? Mine came a bit loose & ran crap as let a bit of air in as well. Check stop solenoid is tight in the body as well. If all are tight get a gasket set & rebuild

Bit of flat steel accross the rim & bolt it down. Unsure what size the bolt

Nice early windscreen hinges…

I have a family member like this. She takes the challenge of building LR products but then does not sell them. The kids when they were young loved the fun, now they have their own kids heaters & comfy cars win every time This also has disk brakes fitted. Also disk handbrake

@lynall been ages since Iv played with the pumps…. Is the stop solenoid a plunge or lift to stop? If it’s removed can you either lift/press down for the motor/pump to run? Thanks

Mine was a V8 loom and has a relay,if I remove it fuel solinoid does not work. If you have 1 and it’s slightly faulty it may stop start the solenoid. And I do not have a mechanical lift pump. Mines electric. Even if this is not turned on some how it still pulls fuel through & runs sweet.

I would think if the belts out it would not run? Extra smoke & not rev 1 tooth out. As it’s intermittent could you get a 12v to the solinoid to rule that normal cable out? Does yours have a starter relay ?(behind fuse board)

Normally they allow fuel/air back to the tank when turned offf. With the engine running they should be fine. remove the cotton outer on the spill pipes & look for cracks.

How much slack in the throttle cable? Could the idle screw moved? Crap diesel,when was the last fill up? Crap in filter(could be water related as cold mornings causing dew in tank)

Never notice any changes with the mounts on 3.5/3.9 If you purchasing a new galv chassis they should know.

Unsure if the 5th gear from a v8 is different. I just swap transfer boxes

Some places get the chassis cooked first in a big oven to crack the paint. Then dip to clean them. Once done the galv process is done. Where you getting the chassis galvanised?

Have you looked to see if they have put a jubilee clip on to hold the spring in place ? As for isolator ring they are just rubber rings to stop vibrations. Only other tip is to use a jack under tow hitch,axle stand under oposite side,remove the wheel(side without the axle stand) and let it...
