If you get a gas welder you can get (large) gas bottles from Beer Gas Cymru who are based in North Wales . They do Argon and C02 (what I use cos it's cheap) and they're supposedly cheaper than BOC for Argon.

Sprayed the front wheels black. Not brilliant but a damn sight better than the chipped silver they were.

Think they're the same. It might be worthwhile looking on Ashcroft Tramsmissions website as they've got lots of info about gearboxes and transfer boxes

Thanks, I've managed to get hold of one and done the drivers seat, but I definately want to do the passenger seat as well as that looks bad. Just let me know when you've done your seats out and we can sort something out.

I fitted a set like these. LAND ROVER +2" LIFT SPRING SPACERS KIT DEFENDER FRONT | eBay The picture shows them upside down. The two small holes showing are where the spacer is bolted to the axle. The top plate is solid with three holes, larger middle for the bottom of the shock to be bolted...

No.. take the cowl off the steering column. The switch has tabs at the top and bottom that need to be "squeezed" (can't think of a more appropriate word) in and it'll then slide out.

Yeah... but the postage would be a lot more :)

Hi I'm after the foam only, don't need the seat frame or base cover. Mine is completely fubarred from my not inconsiderable weight getting in and out. Postage to Aberystwyth please. Thanks Rich

Wasn't the ball joint.. The nut holding the drop arm to the steering box needed tightening

Took it for a MOT.. Failed on steering box drop arm loose and rear anti roll bar drop link worn.. Fixed them and took it back for re-test 1hr later.. Passed with 2 advisories. Great day :D

Fitted rear bumper. Took ages to sort out bumper indicators, earth wire had perished. Gave the engine bay a quick power wash ready for MOT in the morning.

Finished the last of the welding. Replaced the rear interior (even put on the rear door card, 1st time in 8 months). Fixed the rear wash/wipe.

Hi You could try here, I've been told the foods good (but I haven't tried it myself) Black Lion Hotel, Accommodation, Strata Florida Abbey , Ceredigion, West Wales, Bed and Breakfast, Walking in west Wales, hotel in Ceredigion

Yes the plugs to the stalk. If you look on the inside of the panel that you've taken off to check the fuses there's a diagram of what fuse does what. I'll check in the morning to confirm if you want as it's cold, dark and ****ing down here at the moment.

Before you change the wiper stalk take the steering column shroud off and check the electrical connecting block. Mine was brittle, slightly roasted and causing a short.

Bump... Still looking...

Stripped the rear wiper motor down as it was really grinding everytime I turned it on. Cleaned out 18 years of crap from it. Still sounds a bit rough but it's a lot quieter.

Finally finished fitting the rear crossmember. Only the C post to do now and the welder can go away for a few months.

It's in the heater housing unit. It's a dash completely out job I'm afraid.

Stripped the rear interior out, taken the rear bumper off and straightend the mounting on the chassis. Removed rear crossmember bolts and mounts ready to put new crossmember on tomorrow. Lots of welding to do.
