Update so far

Yes I respect you view that's your option. My personal opinion is it should have never been called defender cause it not. 85 ecus 85 someone been smoking something body on frame is still used by Toyota. This is the new pc correct landrover pretender it no dought will be nice to drive fast go...

The thing is they will never make a car like the defender again well not landrover but 85 ecus someones having a ****ing laught. You ever tried to connect to the ecu to failed 10 times then it connects image 85. I wonder does it have a transfer box? Or is it something like the freelander 2? Has...

I think alot of young guys think this electronics is a set forward. In a car that's meant to go anywhere it a liability. Just take a look at a td5 discovery if it immobiliser take a turn you need x amount of readers to fix it. That's 1 ECU all those 85 will be networked together. It would be a...

Yes. Like electric tanks I'll just buy a tractor with a road gear

I go jimmy too but cant pull weight that the only thing

We I just seen Richard hammond give a tour of the off road super computer that's what they are calling it I calling it a box of ****ing tricks. The 110 looks very similar to my wifes freelander 2. I will nail my flag to the mast. That's not a defender try floating that down a river inside full...

I recon that's coming from the transmission brake. If the springs have snaped allowing the shoes to touch the drum and run metal to metal. The nock is the shoe jumping up and down. That's my best guess. I had that with a Mercedes once the handbrake/footbrake springs had snaped. Making a noise...

Yes I can get any steel 3mm no problem I was thinking of using that. Thanks guys for all that . I am going to print that and check against my old chassis. That's a million for that oh weathering steel is that not for they arty guys you dont paint that it get some fancy protection from rusting...

Thanks that's excellent

Thanks

Yes I know. The section your showing is doubled up it at the front where it narrows to85mm wide. I am going to put in 10mm plate in both side of the plates on the side. I know that over the top but I got a 3m length of 100 mm x 10mm lying at the back of the garage so might as well us it. I not...

I built the house extension and made the garage as big as I could because the house is on a hill it meant that i could have the garage ceiling about 13 ft high its 5. Something meters wide and six long. It's more a small workshop but its inside your house so when you start cutting with a saw...

Thanks

No it not u channels they start at 6mm thick. It 2mm bent plate and Iam cutting out 4 plates not 2. Please dont tell me how to suck eggs. Why is it not just a case of cutting out plates?? That exactly what rc do. I've got the laser cutter file. The only difference is I am cutting it by hand.

It's a steel frame! If there are bits that 10mm thick guess what I'll do. It for me! I dont think if I made it with 10mm plate . It wont be eu type approved who approves these chassis your on about?

Yes ok crumple zones there was no such thing in 1989. I showed you inside the rail. There is no risk what ever inside I will copy

Yup total agree but the money I had put by for the chassis the wife spent on the house. So it was either fix or make a new one so since I took it off its make a new one
