Thanks all. Would be happier with 100ah 800cca but with having the others handy that will fit it just seems a no brainier. The 1000’s in an old tractor on its last legs that needs a good old caw to get it going the other two were bought in spring, one to use in an old combine and one as a spare...

The 1000cca is a 642 and the 950cca ones are 019. (Thought they were 020’s) Just been out checking them and think the 642 going to be a bit tight for height. Others are only about 190mm so better than one that came out. Sure I tried an 020 before too but iirc it was a good bit longer and a pita...

After many years faithful service my battery has finally died. It is a 110ah 800cca and always started first kick. Was going to stick a spare tractor one in it but just checking if there could be any problems. The ones I have are both 130ah one with 1000cca and the other 950cca. Used tractor...

Not sure if you still have anything left but I’d take your LEDs if still available. As above re messaging you btw.

Yup, Mr Dewalt wheeched them out with surprisingly little bother. :D:D

Thanks for that. Worried though that I can turn the shaft when its pushed right in. Will leave it in one piece for now and just renew the shaft to see how that goes. Unless of course anyone has any other advice to give on the subject.

Hi all. Today my rear n/s halfshaft decided it would like to leave. Fortunately caught it before it went. Question is how could it leave? Shaft appears complete and seen worse splines. Currently trying to get into diff but being foiled by 3 bolts at moment. Next question, what am I likely to...

The whine is increasing so time to get a new one before it finally dies. (Likely on a busy A road, in the country, on a blind corner at rush hour!!} Which make to go for? Which manufacturer? Is Denso worth £100 over Lucas? Suggestions and advice gratefully received. Thanks.

Thanks Mick. Had 5 litres in my head as a likely one.

Anyone got any rough idea how much paint to paint a 110sw? Also, if overcoating with same colour will I be ok with a good sand then couple of overcoats? Thanks guys.

Life used to be simple……….or maybe it was me. Anyways had a 7.50 x 16 tyre in shed so needing it for my trailer. Easy, phone up local farm supplier and get a couple of tubes. Oooh no, not that easy now is it? Do I want TR13, a TR15, aTR6 TR7 etc. Well I had a TR7 at one point but it was only...

Thanks for that. Going to give it a go then. :)

Woohoo. Got it now. This kind. (stole photo from the Bay):eek:

Hi all My defender has a set of genuine Landy spotlights on it, like the ones in the pic. Before I butcher them can anyone tell me if they come part to change the bulbs in them? Thanks. B***ocks Cant get pics to upload. They’re the Land Rover 8” ones with plastic grids on them. Thanks.

As it says in the title. My landy 110sw sv had lovely sv genuine landy spots with white grill as part of the original build. Drove into garage and forgot the weight bench. Using my skill and judgment I put the front bar straight into the light. Anyone help? Would take 1 or a pair. Thanks.

Thanks Bud. Was thinking along solenoid lines but worth a check first.

Any ideas please. My 2000 td5 always started first turn. Never failed me in 5 years. However, twice now I've arrive at my destination, gone tod restart soon after and nothing!! All lights on, fuel pump running, so power there, turn key.....nothing, no click, just nothing except the red engine...

Would jump at them but too far away.

Thanks for all the comments guys. Very helpful and some interesting thoughts. Great shout on the headshields, need the reading glasses magnification lenses. What a difference they make. R-tech was a surprise, don't know why other than that I had a digital inverter arc welder at one point. It...

Old age and its accompanied aches, pains, failing eyesight etc etc. are sadly catching up despite my belief that I’m still in my early thirties and sometimes barely 18. As a result I’ve sold off the gas gear and ditched the aged (and crap) arc welder thinking, “I’m not really needing these...
