Hicap phill's latest activity

The Sleeved casing and a big box of goodies is due to arrive from Ashcroft's tomorrow. I have removed all the bearings from their various locations and cleaned up all the bits. I called in a favour and got the casings blasted, as I'm going to...

Everythings been pretty good for a while! Except when I fitted new wiper blades, turned them on and got stuck... Now the wipers are rather weak, so that only means one thing... Wiper overhaul 😥 one job i rather dread.... In the mean time...

That patch has covered the drain hole. Check the other side. It could be repaired & start saving for a chassis

Doubt you fried it but you could have jammed it in gear. Try putting it in gear say 3rd high with ignition off and rock the truck back and fore. Given it's a Landy you may need a couple of mates to help do this.

Throw up some pictures as it may help. I am not familiar with the new gearboxes. But the older ones had a couple of small earth cables for the difflock switch’s etc. and also has reverse switch wiring as well.

Because they were thraped my good man to keep up with the scoobies and rs louts😜

So warning light is on with ign on but engine not running? Then when you start the engine the warning light stays on? Sure the warning light wire is on the correct terminal? pic of the back of the alt might help someone pinpoint your issue.

A quick fix is a couple of Jubilee clips around top spring coil and seat housing.

Iv had an early RR where the oil has gone back up the speedo cable. Have a check… unless you have the later transducer driven speedo

I don't know your car, but on Volvo's it was the sort of ratchet mechanism that advanced the counter getting gummed up that stopped it working. A wash out with contact cleaner followed by a little clock oil sometimes fixed the problem.

Is the trip reading still working?

Based on my own experience ('87 3.5efi) failure of the odometer is a prelude to the speedo itself developing a very 'wavy' needle, which will result in MOT failure when the time comes. I've attempted to have mine repaired but the specialist was...

Riveted on with a bead of sikaflex

I think you will find they are thicker walled than 1mm. 1mm walled nylon pipe is a real bastard for kinking.

A 7.50 x 16 should have a 7.50” side wall and 7.50” section width. In practice many will be a bit taller esp if a mud terrain.

Interesting re the company changes and the timings fit with my order falling apart. But agree always pleasant and good to deal with and yes, have called the new mobile number on numerous occasions. Will try again next week and will report back if...

Hey all! Can’t believe after five years we’ve managed to join the dots on this! Absolutely fantastic to see it! Thanks so much for posting. It means a huge amount… Delighted it’s with a good home. I’d been trying to keep a track through the...

Drove past some of them mongs with a slurry tanker…it was empty but I cracked the valve open jus to let a bit of cow bum vapour out on my way past…I got the cants 🤣

Rolling coal… cyclist love that

Don’t know… these are just stamped as 7.50x16 If I get chance will measure these later

Who’s nicked the badges?

Not quite, but that line of thinking triggered a memory! They go under the centre tub capping - the one on the bulkhead - and rivets through the top capping hold them on. So thank you...jigsaw puzzle piece solved.

Sorry these are 7.50x16. Standard rims etc

Even good off road… Not had any problems on road or bad wear Yes I do off road with these

To be fair i'm impressed that you can hear the tyre noise above all the other noise that your 110 creates. Great line (above) from @300bhp/ton :)

Thankfully it was just being stubborn, some sharp rocking and it separated, thanks all!

Look at your fuse box, looks to me as if there are some random red and blue wires hanging around in there. You have red and blue going to your window motor. Until you have a test light then it might be best just to leave it all alone before you...

Had to remove the front radius arm to do some welding, yes more, so changed the bushes while I was there. While I was there I decided it would be a good idea to cut my thumb, burn my hand and arm and blob a bit of weld in my ear, oh well it got...

Can you put a fuel push joiner into the tank? And straight onto fuel pump pipe.
