Doubt very much its a smart one and it won't be stop/start just because of the vehicle year (2007). Leisure batteries are sealed, they may have a tiny vent but they don't vent like batteries used to. Just get a std voltage sensing relay, big fuses (50amp) and big cables and follow the...

Torque converters do self destruct and turn themselves into lots of bits of sheet metal so they would sound tinny. They fatigue if worked hard and this one is quite old so its a possible. Box has to come out to get to it, the outer is bolted to a plate on the flywheel and the inner is on the...

I fear you have done more that either the Police or Trading Standards. Its obvious they are avoiding tax and any number of other regs by constant name changes. Wouldn't surprise me if one or more directors are barred from running companies, anther reason to keep changing. Makes it very hard...

I prefer the set up with the drop-plate and angle braces forward to the chassis rails

Brazing, You can also sweat small copper patches on. If i were mine I'd have a go. My rear diff cover has been repair in the past, probably in the 1970's when the Army had it, they have brazed a big tear in the cover, probably in-situe. Its still working 40 + years on.

I too think its electrical, but you have to look in odd places sometimes.

We are in a time of change and there will be a lot of politicians across the pollical spectrum looking to get kudos from being "green" or even "more green". Vehicle mods that defeat emissions (particulate and co2) and economy are a soft target. Very hard to argue against and a strong case...

Solar goes to solar charge controller - a cheap one, it works fine. This is connected to the leisure battery. On a sunny day the relay does click back and forth but the solar is charging at about 1/2 to1amp and the relay is good to 50a.

Only if its web enabled.

Could there be a mechanical fault that means the starter is getting an extra load. I mean that its out line, the ring gear, the mounting flange or are the number of teeth right. Its a long shot and I'd personally be spending my time on the earths and cable ends, but I have a had starter...

Agreed, now an MOT fail plus at the recent fatal accident inquest in Plymouth the coroner went into detail on the "illegal modifications" to the exhaust even thought they were not causal to the accident. I suspect this line of argument will be used by insurers to reject claims. They may not...

I charge of the mains with a split charge. The split charge relay behaves like it would with the alternator and switches between the batteries. In practice this means a short (ie 1 or 2 hours) charge doesn't work with both batteries connected as it could be spending half that time on the...

I have door mirrors and one OS wing mirror that flips out for towing. Door mirrors are 10x more use than the wing mirror,

Squirt oil round it, then get a hide mallet and keep tapping it down gently, it will gradually come out more.

Its also of its time. The steering columns / box and drop arm is a very traditional set up you would see on many vehicles from the 30 onwards. There is always a rod going forwards, often to an arm on the O/S front hub, but this gives a lot of bump steer so LR put the relay into get a long...

Very interesting, is that the dual diaphragm servo? Don't suppose you know the servo part number? thanks

So its went exactly the way all "simple" jobs on a Series go and ended with success. Result!

But not delivery. Perhaps because they know it won't be needed?

Agreed, I had a feeling I was wrong. But my point remains, imagine if this was a Mk3 Cortina that looked like a Mk4 and had a Mk4 vin fixed on with rivets and the reg age matched the Mk4. Yes I know its a unibody, but we wouldn't look at it twice, we all know its a ringer. But because its a...

!/2" is a good as a done, you are nearly home and dry.
