This.... the old 70s used to be retreads, not sure if they do retreads for passenger/lgv thesedays, they still do them for hgv, you still occasionally see the odd tread thats come adrift on the side of the motorway. oh, and apparently they do them for planes too :)

Well, seeing as no one seemed to know, I ended up with flat ones. These are crap. good job I ordered 2 sets, first time 2 sealed ok, 1 slight blow, one badly blowing. Took the 2 bad ones out again, checked and reseated, again one slight blow, toher badly (but tother way around) last attempt...

I just bought a sandwich plate, was about £10 off fleabay.

mine leaked like a git when I got it, took the roof out, loads of grit had accumulated along the front edge, washing up liquid/water for a good clean up, then some olive oil to lube the seals (dont use vasaline, it makes the seals swell)

The army carried on using the 300tdi after the TD5 came in, they had concerns over the ECU sheilding, and in feild servicing, so the ex mil ones are TD5 bodies, interior etc, but still with the 300TDI fitted. Then only exMOD proper TD5s out there were for civvy use, or some that stayed on UK bases.

found it.... D-90 FAQ - Tops: Sunroofs

The one you have lifts out, you just need a flat blade screwdriver. Open the roof to its highest, then look at the back of where the wheel is, you will see a bit of metal with a notch in it, using the screwdriver in the notch you push (IIRC) and the hinge comes apart, tilt roof up further and...

From home, possibly, but theres no limit on recovery if you're not at home, Ive had a 70 odd mile recovery a couple of years ago (not in me fender) from Brid to leeds, and a 20something this year.

or, more likly the old, you enquire, but they are away on holiday/in the army or some such guff, but if you pay the money by western union or similar they will deliver the vehicle to you.

The 300tdi can have electrikery, in the form of the EDC engine, not sure if it was ever put in the defender, but was on most, if not all auto discos. My 300 has an alarm, immobiliser was standard afaik.

which ones? , there seems to be 2 different types, both listed as for the 300tdi, one is flat, the other has a raised bulge. second, if its the bulge, which way up do they go??

awww, missed that one, simmi probably forgot to put it in gear....

Surely the point of argon is it isnt an active gas? chemically speaking it reacts with naff all, being one of the noble gases, presuming with welderficating, it prevents reaction with O2, so make all the heat go into the metal, as apposed to CO2, where a very small amount will break down to...

brake cleaner or anything similar is likely to take the silver off the back of the fitting as well.

Interesting reading there, cheers. Might get meself a little bottle of mixed for tidier welds when I need em, but tbh I bought me welder mainly for the chassis, so the bit of untidyness doesnt really matter, and its still infinatly tidier than gassless.

Im on the comittee of a local club, I get the steward to order me one in when hes doing a gas order, if your friendly with a local landlord, they will probably do the same :) Like I said refills are £11 and most companies dont do bottle deposits any more, but if they do they are usually around...
