    P976 YHG - Stolen: Police Aware

    Sorry to hear this, location, time it was last seen and time it was "missing" would be a help.....

    Drive Flange

    Axle kept in situ by a piece of old broom handle And that's it, an easy and satisfying job. There's still 'frost' on the axle! Thanks again to @rob1miles who planted the seed of the idea.....

    Drive Flange

    Put the stubs in the freezer overnight And made myself a "Land Tool" (Patent Pending), there's a good heavy, hammer beating circle welded to the top

    Drive Flange

    Ordered these from LR Direct Popped 2 in the oven for an hour or so at 150°, don't know what gas mark that is!

    Drive Flange

    Meant to update earlier but better late than never..... Axle is held loosely in the vice to support the land from underneath. Hit with a chisel being careful to avoid the small lip at the base of the stub axle And voila, it's easy enough to prise off after that

    Swivel Ball Kits

    Yep, that's the answer. Steering Arm at the top is the early set-up and Steering Arm at the bottom, as mine has, is the later version. thanks Border.....

    Swivel Ball Kits

    Hi all, need to replace the 'balls' on my '79 88" project. Haven't dismantled them yet so wondering do I need to order DA3169 (Early) or DA3181 (Late) and how can I tell the difference. Thanks.....

    Spring Colour.....

    It took me a bit of effort to order too, I tried a couple of different routes. I'll check emails to see how I finally got through.

    Spring Colour.....

    No, not flowers and stuff, trying a dry fit of a set of GB Springs and looking to repair the paint job on the clips/clasps. There was brown sticky tape securing them in transit and the paint just came away when I unpacked them. Anybody know what shade of blue they, rattlecan would be preferable...

    Hub Seal

    Thanks Tot, I was watching a You Tube and he pressed it home, only by hand, but well in. I was thinking it didn't look right.....

    Hub Seal

    Hi folks, fitting the Hub Oil Seal RTC3510, how far in should it go? I have it just below lip but should I press it further 'till it's against the bearing? Thanks.....

    Tank Repair

    I'm hoping to go Tdi, I have all the Turbo bits and got a 300 intercooler, but this is a learning curve for me so I'll adapt as I go along. As to the winch, I'm missing the Drive Dog and the 'guide' that fits to the crossmember so I'll, no doubt, be in touch with you again.....

    Tank Repair

    That's an interesting thread Steve, I'll have a further think about the GRP approach. I also have a 200 to fit so I'll read through your 'steps' over the weekend. AND I also have a winch to install.....

    Tank Repair

    It looks dirty and grimy inside Lord, I haven't attempted to flush it out yet but I'll check how bad it actually is, a sealer might work.....

    Tank Repair

    I like the copper idea Rob, I have an old hot water cylinder that might do the trick. I'll do a sample patch and see how it goes. Maybe get the holes near the drain brazed.....

    Tank Repair

    Yep, it's a couple of pin holes near the drain and the other 'uglier' ones to the back. I'll give it a good wire brushing to make sure I've located all the bad spots.....

    Tank Repair

    Yep, mine's 88" too. I was reading across a number of 'forums' that some tanks are a nightmare to fit. So Britpart are to be avoided, I'll steer clear of them. Thanks.....
