How far from Wragby are you?

Doh. Just seen answer

Interested. Where are you.

Whats the coverage like on the Raptor paint and what did you apply it with? Thinking of using it on my bumper, roll bar, side skirts and possibly axles.

I would love to but the budget doesn't stretch that far :) Also when I sell the existing axle (it's perfectly serviceable and has just passed an MOT although it could do with one wheel bearing/tightening up the existing one) I'm going to then do the same for the rear axle....... Then I'm...

I've just found this thread again whilst looking to find what sized tyre I put on my landy as I need to order a spare :) The issues were all fixed by the bush kit, RTC steering damper and correct tyre pressures. It's great now.

Thanks. The "new" casing doesn't have a diff on it so it's just the current diff. I'll probably take the diff off the disco and clean it up then use that on the new axle so that I can drop the current axle off as a complete unit i.e. disconnect front prop, brake line, suspension at top...

Is there any quick way to know how many splines the front axle shafts will have? Just looking at the price of new ones rather than taking the old ones from the scrap disco. What part numbers?

Yes, I'm seen that. Thanks.

I've got that :-) Will that work well on the suspension castings too i.e. Hockey sticks

I also need to find the right paint to paint the axle casing etc. Spray Hammerite?

Personal recommendations on tools are always good. I'd be interested to see. I borrowed one off my neighbour recently to do a pipe for my daughter's car.

To be honest I wouldn't expect them NOT to break. I will be replacing all the copper brake pipes as a matter of course. The tools only cost about £30 to make the pipes yourself and the kit comes with some ends and pipe. I'm going to replace the flex pipe with a 2" longer new one as well due...

The standard axle is better than the Salisbury for a road car though as far as I am aware and that is more than the total cost of building the axle up with the better brakes and I will have either a spare or one to sell at the end.

Have you still got the steering box?

Well to celebrate my landy passing it's MOT I've decided to build a new front axle. My swivel housings are very lightly pitted in a few places, my discs have a little rust right at the edge and there is a dent in the diff bowl. Nothing that would fail the MOT and the axle would still be good...

An alternative way to check the wire is to undo the screw, pull out the switch and disconnect the wire from the switch. Now touch the wire against the ground point and the interior light should come on. If it does then basically it is something to do with the switch or it's installation.

Several things.... Test the door switch wire: Connect your multimeter so that one of the cables is touching a good earth such as the handbrake bracket and switch the multimeter to diode test/or resistance. now to test the multimeter touch the other cable against a good know other ground such...

Have you seen the section on relays in my tutorial? Relays are very useful devices and can be used for all manner of logic circuits too :) If say you wanted a lights left on alarm you could do it like this....... Take your live from the side light circuit and the ground from the door negative...

I have fixed so many faults by remote control it comes as a knack...... My suggestion would be to make your own ground point. If you are possibly adding a few items then a grounding block is a good idea...
