Well. I brought a pipe flaring kit today. 20 quid from machine mart. So I done my brake lines on the disco. Got to say I enjoyed doing it. Once I got the hang of setting the pipe right in the clamp. Manual said 0.5mm sticking out. Found good results if flush for female end and 1.0mm for male end. Don't know why I didn't buy one sooner. So much easier. So that the land rover now back on the road. Can carry on working properly now.

Now you have changed them write it on them or make up a service sheet so you know when they will need changing again. Do the oil while your there. Good maintainance reflects in good operation.

I use gardenkits way. Metal plates with rubber gaskets. And an old sealed up carb ground down.
-
Don't know hy you didn't bring it down with you last week mike. Could have gone over it. Some good info on this thread.

Ok. The comp test can tell you if anything top or bottom is worn. Do a test cold. Then add a tablespoon of oil into cylinder and test again. If it goes right up then worn cylinder area. If stays the same worn valves. The rear brakes are adjustable on a thread. This can be done easily but best to remove and inspect them first. They could just be seized off. Same with the front. The front have seals like all brakes and these can go brittle with non use. Best to strip them and look. Should be easy to replace the parts.

Get it on a pallet.

I'm glad you said about dropping the saw to start. A big no no on assessments but needs must. I have really hurt my shoulder trying to start a 088 before. Hurts like hell and made me chinch for a few days picking timber up. A quick drop is the answer on older saws. Unless there is a 6 foot bar on the end of it. Then no drop, just hold onto the starter and let gravity do the work

:lol: I did just do your name mr bullman. Is there something your not telling us :lol::lol: Believe its a company called bullman leather..... According to the image info

That's just what your groundie said. :001_tt2::lol:

Ok so images for my name comes up with my Facebook pic. Not too bad I guess. But the other image disturbed me a tiny bit.
-
Why is access becoming an issue.... Just remove the engine and do it on a bench. It's not like your removing a gearbox on a car aswell.

:thumbup: SPUD

Well if you want to go there I will give you a run with the 200cc saw against anything you want exept a pto driven band saw.

Ok. How about a 088. V your crusty I mean husky....
-
No problem. Keep us posted. I'm intrigued now.

Well worst is the rings have seized. But as it was turning over they havnt. Maybe. So my guess would be the gaskets gone and releasing water into the cylinders. The black smoke could be oil from where the gasket has gone. Has it lost any oil? This could be the killer. As he engine was turning over my guess is gasket. A quick comp test will verify it. And difference between two cylinders means its gone. Once you have found the low comp cylinder repeat the test but with a table spoon of oil down it. Will create a seal around the rings. If the comp goes up drastically means the rings are worn. If no increase the problem is with the head. This could be gasket or valves. But with the overheating I would go with gasket. But the most important thing is to fond out what caused the problem in the first place. Wy did it get that hot? Was there a failure elsewhere. Like the rad or fan?
-
Got nothing to lose by stripping it down and having a look. Do you have a comp tester for Diesel engines? Would be an easy fix if the gaskets gone. Could be just that. Or the head has warped with the heat.
-
You need to be a bit more specific in the area. How far your willing to travel etc. Sorry I can't help too far away. Good luck.
-
Got to say I'm not sure if I was disappointed when reading this thread. :lol: Good going on getting some free flights.

Don't think anyone on here who has used f r jones will even take notice of his post. We all know how good they are at what they do so who cares. As for having an issue with a dealer take it up with them NOT us....... Chain brake. Yes use it if I ever have to move more than a foot, unless snedding up timber and the bar is on the other side of tree..... Keep doing what you are doing and you will have no issues when you take you assessments with it. Don't climb so can't say about up a tree. But would seem common sense to use it, if only when you are moving around the tree.... Sorry Andy you beat me to it..
-
Dive in and don't me scared. Any dealer should have the gasket you need. Just work through it in a methodical order.
-
Well of your looking to sell the kit............ I've ordered the right pipes tonight. Just be a few days for delivery. Bit fun driving home with little brakes. The amount of times I've done pipes and thought to myself that I should really just need to order the kit. Save on waiting for postage... But just never seem to do it.

ever had one of those jobs and weeks you could dlelete

I know the feeling. But my week seems to be from last Friday to this Friday. All because of a land rover discovery that just won't behave itself and let me fix it. I would leave the next tree for someone else. Not worth the hassle by the sounds of it. -
Sorted the land rover out. Well sort of. Fitted bearings and all good. But in my haste of ordering the parts I ordered the wrong brake pipes. They were for a disco 2, the disco 1 has a male at one end and a female at the other. And I havnt got a pipe end forming tool. So had to do a bit of pokery with the old connection, it has worked sort of bit does allow air back in. So I have brakes (sort of) The right ones are on order. Unless someone close to me has the tools to form the end of the pipe???

The lack one goes to the coil normally. The blue has me confused. Normally its earth colours. And that just goes to an earth point on the machine.
