    Problems with Richard's Chassis

    They look like they're in the right position in the chassis but appear to be kind of angled backwards when you eye them up.

    Problems with Richard's Chassis

    I had the same problem with mine, both outriggers were too far back (15 & 20mm) Easier to make packers and get on with it than trying to return. Picked mine up from their place, spoke to Alistair, he took me round the workshop where they were doing chassis swaps and shown me some of the...

    Shuttle valve mod question

    Hi all, i'm going to do "option B" mod on my shuttle valve, i was wondering is it worth using an econoseal type connector for this or just solder directly to the yellow/green wire from the ABS pump, also is 1mm wire suitable or do i need something thicker? Thanks in advance, Neil.

    SOLD.

    Selling this hippo, bought it middle of May just to mess about on our smallholding, not getting any use though. Mileage is genuine, as can be checked on M.O.T history. When i got this it needed a fuel tank, got one from scrappers, but off a later vehicle, only to find upon fitting that the...

    A Frame towing

    You can get some A frames (the solomatic one springs to mind) that have a system that operate the service brakes on the towed vehicle (to comply with the over 750kg trailer law) but I believe in the event of recovery of a breakdown you can legally tow the car to a garage or other place to...

    A Frame towing

    As far as I know, the towed vehicle must be less than 75% of the weight of the towing vehicle. The towed vehicle can only be towed for recovery (be broken down, not difficult for a landy) & therefore must be road legal, insured, taxed, mot'd etc. (If applicable) Assuming your A frame is the...

    Is this good value?

    1 negative and 1 neutral feedback for refurbing and fitting engines. Rest of feedback selling watches and tat (from what I can see) I wouldn't bother.

    Penny Trick Problems...

    +1 for the belt and tensioner (but make sure you get the dayco ones) I found island 4x4 to be the best price for the tensioner (ERR4708G). Also have you considered the water pump for the noise?

    Did I buy a stolen landy?

    ^^^^ as nobber says, and if it's obviously been done after production it may look dodgy. I swapped my chassis for a galv one & kept the old dumbiron with the number stamped on (for proof of destruction) but it's just about legible. I presume you do have the vin plates on the brake pedal box and...

    1993 Defender 110 - insurance

    I've got my 90 covered with nfu, no mechanical modifications, but rear seats fitted (in a hardtop) about £250 per year iirc. Is yours actually a csw? I couldn't get cover with the mainstream insurers for mine.

    1993 Defender 90

    I've never had a range rover, but is that rear axle correct? Nearside damper looks ok, but why is offside behind the axle? EDIT, just looked on t'interweb and seen about it on another forum, why would they design it like that?

    Replacement chassis recommended garages

    I did mine outside, took me about 3 months (it was winter, so short days) doing it at weekends (weather dependent) and a few days off work. Just bought a cheap focus to run about in. Didn't do a full on resto ,but replaced what made sense to while everything was stripped down.

    Fuel tank question

    Thanks for all the replies, I've got this sorted now. Got a tank off a facelifted 3 door. While the tank is physically the same, i had to swap the fuel sender over. The pipes are all different and had to be made to fit.

    Automec brake pipe kit

    I got an automec kit when I rebuilt mine, had to swap 2 ends on front flexis and make another pipe cos one from master cylinder to prv was too short.
