Hicap phill's latest activity

Well i picked up the new slave cylinder on Thursday on the way to work. Decided to fit it yesterday. It went in alright and the number of threads in the hose hole must be the same as it tightened up with the cylinder being perfectly lined up with...

And change the star screws to Allen heads. Easier to tighten by the side of the road

New 1.6mm ali inner wing liners cut to shape and ready to be panel bonded and rivited over the original wings to give a smooth as new finish to the inside of the tub, also bonded 2mm sheet to the original floor here it is with some weight on it...

Progress! .... Well, maybe, maybe not, will have a few more runs to see. Despite me having timed the life out of the thing it has still been giving me trouble when I am trying to accelerate from modest speeds (e.g. 30MPH) if there is any "load"...

Out for a drive. Found the handbarake was set too good and was dragging for a bit. Stopped & re set the cable all good now.

100% that. I was pleasantly suprised when my D44 bumper came and it was exactly as it was when I boughy my old one. Excellent quality

Today’s tinkering

Remove the 2 screws & replace the O ring… Yep I know how much diesel they loose as it’s happened to me. (Think I turned the o ring over to get me home) Nothing will fall out

Welding has gone crap with most of the suppliers. Thickness of metal has gone thinner. Most plastics are the same. Nothing built to cope with a few years of abuse

Appreciate the input but I assume youre fairly new to the forum and my threads 😅 Ive had a my fair share of Allisport some is ok some is very good. Personally been through 4 intercoolers, 1 header tank and 2 top hoses and a currently a manifold...

Make sure it’s a plastic 1. The old paper ones don’t last long

For Rad Muff read feed sack ;)

Popffff series 1 no heater,door seals,etc You lot have too many luxuries (As for the 90 heater,rad muff for the winter months warms things up faster)

Haha if only mate. Haven’t even got the engine out. It’s coming out this weekend… it’s completely seized so I’ll be interested to see what’s what.

They machine shop only has a diesel bath these days, the corrosive chemicals are mostly banned or too expensive to manage, I have ended up doing it mechanically with long brushes, about 80% done so far

Never ends does it! Finally been enjoying the 110 again, parked up and my mate said "whats all that red stuff coming out the bottom" FFS 😡 Not another coolant leak!! Quick check and the expansion cap was loose and had become soft and...

💩💩

Pics would be of the unimpressed passenger waiting for something to let go ;)

Pics of you driving like a hooligan and wheel spinning in the Landy!

You poor lost soul! Or how did you manage to find yourself? Or whats it like being the only one missing?

Il post more tomorrow as very busy at work lol

Must be engine related as they do not appear rusty. I knew all that leaking oil was for a purpose 🤣

What part of America are you in Chris ? Do you know where the diff lock lever is on the LT230 (transfer box) ? Have you removed the lever and used a spanner to turn it on and off ? Are the wires connected to the diff lock switch (green and...

Here you go, a quick couple I managed. Oh yes, the roof needs painting too. Pete

The new earth cable arrived in the post today from Devon 4x4. It was a large and quite heavy parcel for a small item, but this was due to the large catalogue that they posted with the cable! I fitted it but the chassis earth didn’t have any...

It has always had E5 (never E10) and I recently added Castrol Valvesaver at the last top-up which is a Lead Replacement and Octane improver. Today I pulled the timing "All in" at 4,200 RPM back by 2 or 3 degrees to about 30° BTDC. I am going out...

Took the bulb out of the dash.. cured! Will get a earth leakage cable

Excellent!! 1 down, 24,393 to go :D

If it's detonating under load then timing is borderline and/or fuel RON is low Treat it to some super and retard the ignition a smidge
