Hi, Just a word of warning with respect to the fitting of bodies to Unimog (excepting u100 to u140 & u300 to u500 & U####TG witch use strait/flat chassis rails/tops) don’t let anyone fit any body using a method that they would use with ANY other truck chassis, body’s MUST be mounted in accordance with the Unimog principal witch is 3 point or double 3 point mountings dependent on chassis length, the reasoning for this is because the chassis is designed to flex considerably & every other major component (cab, engine, gearbox, etc) is 3 point mounted so it offer NO resistance to the chassis twisting along its full length, the same is true of the X frames that body’s mount to on short/medium length chassis or the double 3 point on the longer chassis allow full chassis twisting without imparting ANY of the twisting forces into the body its self If a body is fitted in a “normal” manner as per a truck a few things can/will happen, the body will crack up/fatigue due to the large amount of twist imparted into it, the body to chassis mounts will be ripped off behind the cab, tipping rams can be bent, any lockers/cabinets built into the body will tear away & doors will jam shut etc & the same is true for drop sides etc, in other cases permanent twist can be introduced into body’s, finally if the body is very ridged so doesn’t twist the chassis can snap just forward of the front body mount! This video on youtube is in reference to the u3000, U4000 & u5000 UHN’s witch are basically the old MBU/SBU (u1000 to u2450l38 6x6) with newer engines & electronics/ESP/etc but are the same in respect to chassis & other fundamentals of operation. (from 1:22 onward shows this) [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHhMzCtAx0M[/ame] As another e.g. to unimog chassis twisting the attached image is my u1600 from the rear, you will note the cab and the body are twisted in opposite directions moderately but by no means at there maximum extents.

if you have paper copy’s & you only wish to amend 1 page then that’s a lot less typing if you can scan the rest. or find a download of a file recovery program, normally when something is deleted it is just removed from the MBR on each drive but the data is still on the HDD just the link is removed, so the sooner you find a file recovery program the easer it will be to recover the lost files before they are written over. normally files can be recovered after 2 write-overs with free programs but its better if this doesn’t take place, don’t run scandisk or defrag! (paid for programs its >5 write-overs) if you have another PC use that one to find a file recovery program (most good ones have 30 day trials ect) if you turn off the PC with the lost files on it will minimise chances of write-overs of the files, then once you have file recovery program turn it on and load it up. if you only have 1 PC then don’t load any programs on to that PC & minimise its use until you have a file recovery program & found the files. http://www.undelete.com/file-recovery.asp http://www.diskeeper.com/downloads/downloads-r.asp Undelete 5 Home Edition Overview

scan the A4 paper to images on your PC, you can then just print it out each time you need it or look in your recycle bin

£6.25 last time at a PW with official ticket for legal purposes. In your area the PW are registered with the LA/council & there is a fixed maximum price they can charge.

if 2400rpm engine then the PTO speed will be 2400rpm engine / 2.32 gear ratio = ~1034.5rpm @ the PTO

If you are surveying trees near water or on the waterline in lakes & reservoirs of the midlands, then a powerboat is a chocolate teapot and is not suitable for the job besides being total overkill! A small inflatable rib like an Avon ranger with a short shaft 10hp outboard motor would be much more suitable and quite fast once on the plane, they have a shallower draft so you will get a lot closer to the shore with the motor down, and if you rise the motor you can use 2 ores to get the final bit to land, a rib with 2 men + kit in will draw <4” of water with the engine up & when on the plane at speed <8” & they are much more manoeuvrable at any speed.

the gear ratios of the 540 & 1000 rpm PTO's (424, 425, 427, 435, 437) (u1000 to u2450L37 6x6) are 540rpm = 4.08:1 1000rpm = 2.32:1 thus 540rpm PTO = 2203rpm engine 1000rpm PTO = 2320rpm engine 540rpm on the 1000rpm PTO = 1252.8rpm engine.

most of the cost of fuel is TAX thus hitting the oil companies is not the way, it needs to be the government that gets hit, as oil gets more expensive then fuel has to go up but at the same time it goes up the tax should go down so the government get a fixed pence per L rather than a % per L, so in essence the tax portion of fuel dose not rise as oil price rises thus pump prices. (other than the VAT eliment of the tax)

I paid £4750 with VAT in 1990 when it was 5 years old (ex NRA) I sold it in Jan for £800 to a friend who needed one with the proviso I have 1st refusal if he sells it @ £800 I did I because I hadn’t used it on-road for 18 months, I know I could have got a lot more for it but that was not the point. you should be able to get ~£1500 to £1750 for yours, it just depends if someone is looking at the time.

My recently sold old 1985 lr90 which was lovingly built from the ground up my myself after it was written-off in 95

It looks a bit like a knackers wagon, just needs a winch on the top of the front bullhead of the body

throw the pup in the water & leave the ball/stick on the bank

if you got your original paper licence from between mid 1988 and early 1991 and it has no C1+E GTW listed on it or category restriction for C1+E with respect to GTW of the combination or the E element, don’t send you licence to the DVLA, as in 98 the DVLA will have put category restriction 107 (GTW 8250kg) on there computer so if/when you send your licence it will get put on your licence, drivers from this period had up to 1992 to clime 12000kg GTW grandfather rights however the DVLA never told anyone of this by letter, so if you do fit in the above 1988 - 1991 category you will need to contact the DVLA & demand they remove the CR107 from there computer witch they illegally placed on it to give you at lest your 12000kg right. in the EU at the time the GTW for C1+E was 17500kg, (7500kg truck + 10000kg trailer - single axel or twin axel close coupled [>1m axel spread]) i am part way threw doing the above my self, doh

you should remember the price in the USA for a US citizens will be + state and federal tax also it says £419.99 (inc vat) at http://www.worldofpower.co.uk/Garden-and-Outdoor/Chainsaws-and-Wood-Cutting/Petrol-Chainsaws/Professional/sc1212/p1646.aspx The above product comes with these FREE items...

Eat a bagel with poppy seeds on and you will stand a good chance of failing an employment drug test a few hours later (opiates traces) the same is true of tablets witch contain traces of codeine, take some “non drowsy” cough mix and amphetamine traces may be found the same may be true of some boiled sweets found in some 24h ration packs! Sit in a room of friends who smoke dope but don’t yourself it will still be in your blood and will show up, handle quite a lot of cash do you? Then you will probably have swab traces on your fingerer tips of cocaine, have someone take a sample of your blood but if they use an alcohol based streret to wipe you skin it can give you a blood alcohol level when there was non in the first place (one UK police force had to throw out a load of drink drive cases & had years of cases appealed for this)

2266kg ?

Well working back from the rear callipers to the master cylinder at things that could cause a problem with braking force. 1: incorrect or pore quality brake pads that are for a to hot an environment or are just to hard/wrong compound (have always found mintex to be good value and work well with Land Rover‘s) 2: a seized piston in each rear calliper (no asymmetric braking force?) 3: damaged flexi hose for the rear axel (internal damage acting like a 1-way valve at #psi aplication) 4: faulty G-valve (fitted on the rear brake line, looks like a 1-way valve mounted horizontally in the rear brake line near chassis rail mid point, it works off inertial forces and regulates pressure to the rear brakes vs. them, normally fitted to some civilian 90‘s and quite a lot of military 90/110 ware towing trailers is common, being a 130 it will have come via LRSV’s with towing trailers in mind and drastic unloaded/loaded weight change?) 5: C-valve, check valve for circuit protection - low pressure warning device. 6: master cylinder has centre seals failed, so on brake application pressure is leaking across from the rear brake portion to the front brake portion causing equalisation but no external leek or fluid loss is seen as the outer seals are ok.

no, all that putting the transfer box into neutral dose is just disconnects the drive from the main gearbox so power from the engine doesn’t reach the centre diff so PTO can be used, but you could put it in neutral if you wanted yes, drive each axel onto the roller brake tester, place the main gearbox in neutral & realise the clutch peddle BUT DON’T PUT THE HANDBRAKE ON! and when instructed press the brake peddle, in essence do as you would do when testing the rear axel of a RWD car but do it for both axel on the Land Rover also do both axels twice, once forwards and once in reverse. is it a disk or drum rear axel?

yes 90/110/130 are permanent 4x4, but they have a centre diff, they are also designed to be put on MoT roller brake testers 1 axel at a time with the centre diff unlocked, if you look in the big thick LR workshop manual it says that, all my 90/110 have gone on roller brake testers, if i also recall (got rid of my last land rover) it says the same thing on the warning plate fixed on the fuse box cover just in front of the gear sticks. the exception the above with Land Rover products are the one’s witch don’t have a manually locked centre diff but are permanent 4x4, like some RR/disco or some of the retro fit v8/auto box in 90/110/130

don’t clamp the pipes, you will rupture the inner rubber hose witch will part brake off in time and will stop the brakes releasing as it will act like a 1-way valve. a swing gauge if its 3.5t it should be on the rolling road/brake tester. how steep was the hill in deg? as overrun brakes don’t work in reverse so will pull you down hill, e.g on a 22.5deg hill 25% of the mass of the vehicle is pulling you down hill or on an 11.25deg hill 12.5% of the mass is pulling down hill.

it could be the F:R bias valve &/or the check valve that is fulty. someone may have put e.g. 90 bias valve on it in the past?

about ~40000kg to ~50000kg, its for towing with my Unimog other Unimog or other stuck things off-road were a towing poll is not practical or long enough or ware i need to generate a bit of KE. also I am feed up with carrying my wire ropes!

thanks, will give them a try

no I haven’t tried any of the arb related places as it would not be normal for them to have it in stock I would have thought, so the chance of having some short off-cuts or reel ends from orders is slight.
