Hodge replied to markieg31's topic in General chat
I had an original life proof case, well I've had 3 as I kept sending them back under warranty, the headphone lead kept going wrong and the case kept splitting, not what I expect fr something that cost loads. I now have the otter box for the I phone 5 and its the best case I've had. Sent from Outerspace. -

Mine gets hammered Pete, but she keeps going, I pay more than most for repairs as I take to a landrover dealer, this is down to how quick they get me in and out and I get a defender or disco when mine is in. Sent from Outerspace.

That's why I have the crew can mate, I can get the seat back and I fitted a smaller steering wheel so it ain't that bad. Mine don't leak too bad and as far as breakin down its more like wear and tear, gearbox went at 62,000 but its pulling to capacity most of the time, suspension went, and braks wear quicker because of pullin 3.5 tonne. At the end of the day I'm happy with mine as it is perfect for my set up. Sent from Outerspace.

I don't agree, I have the perfect Arb truck for ME. My 130 crew cab tipper does everything I need. I have a winch on it, chip box,tool box, roof rack and 4wd. Sent from Outerspace.

Simple. Landy if you need 4x4 or cab star if you don't need 4x4. Sent from Outerspace.

The ignition switch where you put the key could be dodgy, on the first position it switches on the fuel pump and second position should put the light on then third it should engage starter. I had it on mine and it was a bad connection on the back. Take out the 4 screws and have a look, you could take the wires off and short out the connection to see if it turns the starter.

I have just had a Worcester Bosch boiler fitted along with Magna clean, it has a 7 year guarantee so that's a good sign. The boiler we got rid of was a glow worm and was 7 years old, we had loads of problems with it in that time and when it leaked all over the attic out plumber recommended to replace rather than repair as the repair was gonna be around £600. Everybody I have talked to recommends Worcester boilers so I think for the price you would be getting a good deal. Sent from Outerspace.

Thanks Jon, I will look into it, its not something I am gonna rush into but I really fancy it. Sent from Outerspace.

I have just been looking on a landy forum and if I get an engine then a plug and play ECU and wiring harness is under 3k. So I would need to get an engine and box. It would be awesome. Sent from Outerspace.

I want one in mine John, it has been done, won't be cheap, I read of someone who does the conversion with a brand new engine and box but its 30k Sent from Outerspace.

I have a 130 td5 tipper which I to a tracked chipper with, I fitted a tune it box and took it off as it was crap. The problem with chipping TD5 is you can burn out the air mass meter, this is because the the chip or re map tells it that there is more air passing it to give more fuel and this causes them to burn out. I like mine as standard it pulls fine, it could be better when full of chip but chipping ain't the answer, get a TDV6 fitted with an auto box. Sent from Outerspace.

You sound way to cheap mate, £500 to cut a 300m hedge for 2 men taking 2 days and a keep?? You wouldn't make anything on that surely? Unless you got the mwep for free and you didn't make anything. Sent from Outerspace.
