    PAS box problems

    I once worked in a steering box recon place, they aint difficult, but they aint for novices either. a ton for a box sounds good, next problem is getting the drop arm off its tapered spline. that CAN be a bitch... big puller time.

    PAS box problems

    It is fixable, but its a specialized job. you can by a seal kit, you need to strip the box to test the drop arm shaft bearing, renew if needed and ream to proper fit on the drop arm shaft, then clean and reassemble the box, you then adjust the drop arm engagement with the small center screw. as...

    transfer box problem

    First thought is that its stuck in diff lock, but if you have tried with the transfer lever in neutral then i'm puzzled, Did it drive? 'cos it shouldnt. so was the noise there with the vehicle stationary but the gearbox turning?. One way to try and "unfreeze" the difflock is by reversing with...

    Fried clutch, possibly ... ?

    i woder if some **** had gotten in and somehow was holding the thrust pressure onto the spring allowing the clutch to slip. it certainly sounds like slip, and strange its now gone. First indication of a clutch "getting to the end of its life" is slight slip when you put it into top. As i've said...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Thats not bad. I have a 21 yo son, student with 3pts and 3yrs experience, to add him to my Landy would put my premium up to 850, needless to say he wont be added....

    MOT FAIL.. Is it worth repairing????

    That little welder will do you fine, Sean's right though, that bottle will last no time, getting larger bottles refilled is cheap, its the bottle rental thats dear. you want CO2 or Agomix, Argomix is CO2 with 8% Argon. Also those little wire drums dont last long, buy larger ones next time you...

    MOT FAIL.. Is it worth repairing????

    you got it, yes.. only dont be afraid of cutting too much, if its rotten it needs to come out, you can make good with patches afterwards. just bolt the new sill onto the chassis and make good around it. sounds easy LOL. Yes the rear mounts are fine, you may need a boot floor panel too. how...

    MOT FAIL.. Is it worth repairing????

    My own MIG is a SIP turbo 130, its good enough and doesnt blow the house fuses, LOL but for chasis work I tend to use my arc welder whenever possible but the 130 will cope too. If I had to recomend then a 130 will do. Certainly non of my Landies have ever come apart after welding but I am a...

    MOT FAIL.. Is it worth repairing????

    OK 1mm is a it heavy, a bit thinner then, 0.5 mm Oh yeah, forgot the gas. Argon is for TIG, you need CO2 or Argomix, this is CO2 with 8% Argon added That siegen looks OK too

    MOT FAIL.. Is it worth repairing????

    Nah, get some bearmach or similar sills, new, then cut the scrap out, bolt the new sills to the chasis and see what gaps you have. Then you need to fabricate patches, you'll need some 1mm mild steel sheet and an angle grinder. there is no point in making lovely neat patches as the welding will...
