  1. Give Stephen a ring see what he can do! seen everything from £300000 motor homes to camera and satelite trucks and ambulances ! he will know what is possible Ride & Leveling Systems 01449 710102
  2. Well just bought my last batch another £10 in the fund and so worthwhile !
  3. That really is a piece of junk isn't it hell a rabbid beaver on acid could chip better than that ! really how can anyone expect to be happy with something like that ?
  4. ha ha ha Percy the plaster cast ! lol thats the guy form the unit over the yard from us there are a few more ! He was on some impressive drugs broke his elbow and dislocated it on a motorcross bike ! and another guy rode into him he had tred shaped bruises up his back !
  5. Thought it was about time i put a vid up of the one in my avatar working
  6. one word HALFRAUDS ! bloody useless ! must say wandering round and winding them up is generally amusing !
  7. if the cable is frayed it stops it releasing compleatly and t hat with landrovers build intolerences they tend to grab seen it on a couple of 300tdis
  8. Owww F1 mmmmmm dribble dribble !!!! What years ? i just love the 80 era turbod cars 1300hp from a 1.5 litre engine now thats some engineering
  9. Jon is the rear output seal leaking ? if its grabing maybe contaminated but i would still have a look at the cable ends
  10. Why thank you sir ! For my sins i have always had Landrovers around and as my taught trade is Ag fitter operater and general workshop dweller and if its got an engine im sure to like it its mostly second nature and if i dont know it i will try and find out and there is no better way of finding out than by trying it !
  11. should do just as the guys have said make sure you get the same specs eg shaft diameters and lengths and mounts
  12. not bad loads had about 8 trips like this !
  13. yes i know way put up more for those who dont click on links :P
  14. cheers both rebuilt on Richards Chassis and our own modifications on the way
  15. Seen several where the pump has been "tweeked" badly ! we always recommend the fitting of An EGT gauge to measure the exhaust temperature as this is the deciding factor on the max fueling and boost fueling setting !
  16. the Esab units are great thats what we run the miller sets are good too ! murex not bad ours will run from a 13 amp plug Re the gas there are a couple of firms doing rent free bottles you basically buy the bottle at a discount and they refill them !
  17. For a good AC TIG machine you would be looking for around £1500 but to be truly versatile you would want to have a water cooled torch set up and a foot pedal control as said due to the aluminiums capability of carrying the heat from the weld you need more current than on steel but to be able to get it right you really want to be able to vary it to where the foot pedal comes in ans too cope with the heat at the torch the water cooling. Mig welding aluminium is straight forward but again the kit is more specialised as the Filler wire is so soft you need a different liner int he torch and different feed rolls ! better still and the way we do it with ours is a "pull" torch it has a feed roll and motor int he torch end so it pulls the filler wire along the torch rather than relying on the machines feed rolls to push the soft filler wire to the tip of the torch! We weld with both TIG and MIG on aluminium, stainless and mild steel ! When welding aluminium you need to use Pure Argon gas and the parts to be welded need to be spotlessly clean and the oxide layer to be removed otherwise poor welds are likely. Also you need to know what the parent Aluminium composition is two main types either Magnesium alloy or Silicone alloy you need to know to know which rods to use ! Also preheating helps on some welds and welding older aluminium can be fun ! just spent a day welding up the gearbox casing on an Audi TT quatro that had a couple of inch long cracks in it but due to the absorption of oil into the metal and the cracks it took almost a day to drive the oil out of the weld areas and to get a decent weld.
  18. I'm not scientific in my approach I just lob some in when I fill up!
  19. Back in 2003 when the first recent lot was washed off the decks in the English Channel I was working in Lydd on a far we cleared from rye harbour to almost dun genesis lol we got 5 or 6 twelve tonne grain trailer loads off the beach ! Most of the new builds were made from it round the sheds we left itin the rain for a few weeks ! You should declare tithe salvage company's if its cargo and they then decide if it has value etc most write it off due to contamination
