Bit far away! Is it definitely for a 110 double cab?

Located SW in Wiltshire. Looking for a 110 Double Cab Ifor Williams canopy — is anyone selling one? Frustratingly, about ten cm shorter than the 90 one — if I can’t find one, I’ll buy a 90 one and cut it down. Thanks G

Replaced the whole prop. I’ll try and upload a video of the noise.

Symptoms: Metallic clicking / rattle that occurred sporadically, was speed related. Not related to the direction the wheels were pointing. Often only happened under load. It got progressively worse over time. Issue: Inspected the front prop and found excessive wear in the CVs. Problem now...

It’s one of those jobs that once done once could be done in a tenth of the time!

There are plenty of good videos online that describe how to remove the door card and replace the actuator & lots of discussion about how to release temperamental locking mechanisms [I've linked the two that I found most useful below]. Sadly, mine had failed in the closed position and I couldn't...

Have you considered buying a load of good quality automotive wire in various colours; a slack handful of relays, a modern blade fuse box and a 12v indicator flasher can and making your own loom from scratch. You won’t have to worry about matching new to old, nonsense multi pin connectors, can...

In August I purchased a D3 with 170k on the clock. It has the usual gremlins; intermittent airbag and suspension warning light, the OSR door doesn’t open and the hand brake fuse has been pulled—mechanically it’s sound and it was a bargain. I drove it for a couple of months and then purchased a...

I am also keen - anyone around on the bank holiday?

Steering is very clunky. Maybe it’s wobbling around in the hole ;) Now to see if Richards will make me a S3 chassis with no battery tray but with the cotton reels to receive a P38 steering box!

Just searched for it on the bay. Very kind. Thanks mate. I assume the drop arm on a P38 is compatible with a series track rod?

Do you think it’s off a P38 then? Looks like it has a standard S3 track rod...

Really good to know. Thanks.

When I put the new chassis on the 300tdi I pulled apart the PS pump and cut the blades off the turbine, doing away with PS. Since driving the S3 with PS I think I will keep it! Very useful picture though - thanks! Very keen to identify my steering box, fairly sure that it is off a Defender...

Clear on battery tray - thanks mate. It’ll have to go though because of the steering box. Open to cutting if necessary but in an ideal world I manage to get it made with the modification done. What gearbox x member have you got?
