There was a thing on the news about cat recycling Cat recycling - YouTube

A slightly oblique solution, but is it worth considering native apps for mobiles? I've done a couple of iOS mapping apps before and would happily do a LZIR one. At a push I could have a crack at an android app, but having never worked with Android before it might take me a bit longer. I'm a Java...

Have good look around, you may already have some of the mouting points you can use despite the age of the vehicle (my 1963 had what looked like factory fit mounts) Theres a good how to from Nick's landrover site: Fitting Defender Front Seatbelts to 109s ? Nick's Land Rover - Series III...

I'm crap at drawing, so I hope this makes sense. The grey rectangles are illuminated change over switches. The 3rd bulb is your worklight, or if its large enough to need a relay, then it would be the relay coil.

Same for me. my '63 109 came with very worn period static belts and what looked like origional mounting points (nuts buried in the B posts). I'm not sure about needing belts if there are mounting points. Mine passed an MOT with no passenger side belt and it was an advisory, somthing like -...

Yep, I should be there too.

My breakdown cover is with Footman James as part of my insurance. The usual stuff, but no homestart. No problem on my 50 year old 109. IIRC its costing £30 / year and I'm averaging about 1 call every year, so I'm getting my moneys worth!

Bah. Didn't type fast enough :mad:

When the engine is off the oil pressure light should be on. The engine only generates oil pressure when its turning, so when its not running there is no pressure and the light comes on. It should be on bright enough to be obvious though. If it came on when you were driving due to low oil you'd...

Taking my kids to the airport tomorrow, otherwise I'd be coming

Good luck Jai!

Welcome! Yes, I can see 3 pics of a doublecab in your profile. If you're in Chesham, then you're just down the road from me

We're all just about to tuck in to pies my mum made with beef from Preston market Horse meat sold on market stall - Business - Lancashire Evening Post so god knows what we're having Its almost certainly quadruped. Hopefully its a mammal.

Yep, should be up at the pub on wed. Might get up to roundhill for a look tomorrow. The snow is nearly all melted round here which means its going to be nice and muddy

Hooray The 109 is back on the road again. Big thanks to Jai for timely supply and delivery of a diff. Bring on the snow!!!

I live near berko, and know the lanes you are talking about, so could take you round if you want. My 109 is in the garage having suffered a minor diff explosion, but should be sorted soon and I might have some time over Easter. jcuk

Yep, was a blown diff and some damage to the diff pan which should be weldable. Something must have majorly jammed in there. I just about managed to get it moving in low range and it would only move in jerks a couple of feet at a time PM on its way...

Thanks jai. Ill bear that in mind and wait until they take a look at it. Hopefully it'll be something simple they can sort out.

Cheers, I'm at home now. It was only down in Tring, so my Mrs came an picked me up. I called the recovery people and they're going to take it to the old dairy garage tomorrow. I went back down to put a note and warning triangle on it and it absolutely stinks of EP90, so defiantly something...

:( Bollox The 109 has just broken down again. It started making a strange noise coming home on the A41 at what sounded like wheel speed. Coming down the off ramp there was a bang and a sound like bolts in a blender. Its got drive, but its struggling to move and making a right old racket when...
