previous owner had put a new crossmember on my truck and the next bit of chassis had now rusted through, 6mth to go for MOT but dont fancy chances when towing everyday..

That is a fave for them to go. Mine is looking a bit patchy now in exactly the same place as i have had a few repairs done there. Shame tho as the rest of the chassis is A1. If work continues as it has for the alst 6 months then its going to get a galvy chassis.

ooh galvy chassis.. i can dream..-laid under the landy, its peaceful under there apart from the swearing/crying.

[skyhuck]

When they galvanize a landy chassis, how do they stop it from twisting???

[armchairarborist]

they dont.. you just buy special suspension

The angles are so far out on a landie you just don't notice it

[penfold]

putting mahoosive tyres helps as well kev.

I used to use jubilee clips around the top of the rear spring and the housing to stop them popping out. Worked a treat.

i dont really mind them dislocating as im pretty sure during normal duties of my truck i would probably get stuck somewhere if it didn't articulate as much as it does.. the problem is the not relocating correctly which i dont believe there are parts available for double sprung setups? i do worry i might lose the top inner spring seats though, maybe a cabletie to the spring would help me not lose this part?

update on my truck, just got it back from garage today with a shiny new clutch and slave cylinder for only £258.00, i dont know how he can do it that cheap.. not a rip off as i saw him do most of it:thumbup1: only problem is now the wipers are stuck switched on, pulled the fuse till i get a few mins to trace the fault..
