It's coming on and looking good mate :)

They're ringing bells mate :)

I thought mine sat in a channel with little clamps :confused:

@Gruber just thinking. Obviously, the A frame ball joint is designed to move, but with a lot of effort you might be able to see 'unatural' movement. It'll be worth checking your trailing arm and radius arm bushes too. I know you said you've been bouncing it from inside and out, but it's...

Not easy. I would jack it up and support it on the chassis rails, so the rear axle is hanging. Take the wheels off. Put a trolley jack under the diff, inline with the axle. Jack it up a bit to take the weight off the shockers and detach either the top or bottom shocker bolts and release the...

A frame ball joint.

I haven't watched these, but they should help a lot.

I wish my brakes locked up :(

As has been said I'd check the battery is fully charged first. You could check the connection to the stop solenoid is good electrically and check you're getting 12v from the cable. If so crack a fuel pipe joint to an injector, turn it a couple of times and see if there is any fuel visible. I...

On the back of your fuel injection pump. There's a small black wire going to it with a spade connector fitting. Tricky to see, easier to follow the wire.

Stop solenoid stuck shut.

Mine is a 96 plate and the ignition has to be on and dipped beam before fog light comes on. I've got a wiring diagram at home. I can post later when I'm back if you're interested.

Take care mate. Hold on to those doors :)

I think they're good chassis, but after my issue I read of others with similar dimension differences. It sounds like you're in a good position to check one, so jobs a goodun!

I'm not surprised. A serious accident waiting to happen......like a ticking time bomb! Very scary stuff

Christ! :eek:

Another vote for doing it yourself. I did and it was a great experience. I used Richard's and the nearside tubular outrigger was 15mm out. ie distance between that outrigger and lugs on rear cross member for tub bolting was 15mm too short. Take some main dimensions off your old chassis before...

I knew you would have thought about it. Get it patented mate :cool:

Epic. :cool: I'd be very interested to hear how the heater works when you get it back on the road. What thoughts have you had about pulling more heat out of the engine? Any thoughts about it affecting it's operating temperature? I've no idea, it's just got me thinking :)

Is that plumbed in the cooling system? Nice shiny gearbox :cool:
