Looks good… Not read the whole thread but saw you had spun a 1/2 shaft. Now if the end was wheel end no need to split the diff. Rotate the diff to check damage

@SimonBrown Look at the Glynn Lewis site he has the ones you can grease. But your shopping list will grow when you start looking at his kit. Nice mod is the drop arm which takes a track rod,quicker to change

Would razzle be better?

Do you have to use a plate to bring the socket out the hole so you can open it?

If I had a bit of time I would have nipped down on the Motobike. As you would not let the landrover in

Pressure wise on a TDI is done by the high pressure pump on the engine. On the early v8 110 (SU carbs) they ran a facet pump by the trailing arm body mount. Max pressure 6psi but tank outlets were on the side of metal tanks

Just a thought.. Does a TDI have the correct plug? They use the same tank etc and also low pressure. Will have a return as well. If it does not have the internal pump you could just put a small electric pump on it,in line .

I put earth straps on a roof rack to the whole body. Works well

Standard cb uses 4watts of power,I have a box that puts out 200watts(used to do a lot of cb use) The thunder pole whip is long so up the rear of the motor is the safest place. Are you just using the cb to communicate on lanes?

Change the transfer box to a 1.4. These are common and would help the pull away. You may loose 1st or not use it much Simple remove,replace to see if it helps

Depending on the range you require.. I have a small antenna on the drivers wing by the wind screen. Only put it there as most of the branches are in the passenger side. Have seen some on the front bumper Mounted to the mirror arms Rear mount by the reflectors,piece of flat plate. And I do...

Ooo some cheap tyres may be appearing soon… Are they smaller than a 7.50? (I Run this size) I run a 1.22 transfer box & no hassle. Just can’t tow heavy trailers unless in low box to start. Think the disco box is diffent geared & used to run 205s not sure what the biggest they used

I normally get.. Can you tow my caravan it’s only got to go round the corner…nope I need £50 just to attach it to the landy & 1 of you has to get in the passenger seat.(these jobs are never simple) Can you move some cows/sheep/ bales of hay… Payment is normally some of the above Will always...

Fill 1/2 full to the seam.. squeeze the bottom pipe from the rad to make sure the water moves. After a big drive check level when cools & then keep an eye on it. Any excess will have been pushed out the cap & down that little pipe below it(just incase you wonder what the puddle of water is)...

Connect the jumper to the main feed to the starter,missing out the solinoid this should turn the starter. If that works it’s the solinoid that need pulling apart & freeing up. Chances are something has seized together after the swim.
