I thought id try and share a few photos and a bit of details about , my 127 tipper. Its a 200 tdi that iv been working on for a couple of years and i started driving it again 6 months ago.its had a recon gearbox, new transfer box, replacement wings, bonnet and doors, winch, front and rear spots, raptor dash and pod, new fuel tank and brakes, recaro seats 1000 watt inverter, ndeds new tyres though. And its been painted this weekend:thumbup1:

The photo at the bottom was taken on the way home from a scout expedition in Scotland, in the space of 4 weeks I took it to Scotland, Norfolk and the peak district:thumbup1:

Hi Will, are you letting Kris Kill loose on your Defender? Don't let him lower it, like he's done to his 90! Matt

Progress being made, the windscreen is being refitted tommorow, the wheelarches and snorkel are back on and the winch goes back on tomorow:thumbup1: but I have got to take the tipper motor back to the reconditioning place again as its packed up after less than 100 tips:thumbdown:

HI WILLIAM nice job there mate well done mate mate jon

Ive put all the bits back on it after painting, had a new windscreen fitted, sorted the winch and the front and rear spots, looking good.

Then I was driving home from the barn and... someone skidded into the front of it:thumbdown:

It was a 62 reg vw estate, which is now missing a wing, headlight and bonnet, while my truck has a couple of scratches, thank god for 5mm steel bumpers:lol:

Ref your tipper problem, harrier hydraulics/flowfit did have motors and pumps on offer not long ago, just an thought it might work out more cost effective?

[william127]

Thanks ill look that up, wouldn't mind a brand new pump if im honest.

Wil, talk to KMR engineering who did my tipping body - they hold lots of spares for tippers. Matt
