Back home from a very enjoyable weekend organised by Gav and Co. Few ( quite a lot actually) of bush pinstripes on the 100 now but it did perform well on a standard setup with no rear diff lock. Roll on the next one.

Firstly I'd establish it wasn't an earth problem by connecting a jump lead from the negative terminal to the block. Then I'd establish there was a current to the small wire which energises the solenoid when the key is turned to the start position. This will be a start to the diagnosis. When I...

No Felix, the 100 is my trusty tow rig. The engine came from a 100 I bought very cheap but with FSH, done 180K. I supplied it with the whole front end and gearbox loom. This isn't a project for the faint hearted but the guy does M57/M606/8HP conversions all the time so I reckon it will be a...

It's on it's way. On it's way finally to have it's upgrade/conversion. FTE engine, bigger turbo and intercooler and 8HP gearbox. Should hopefully be done in a month. Should make it better on the road when towing the Metalian trailer and better off road when green laning.

It would seem so TP. However my go to wheel refurbisher is a guy trading as Alloy-D. He is north of Sheffield and very well regarded, His number is 07508 699384. Hope this helps.

Very useful thanks Andy

Have you noticed any difference in the way they feel as opposed to the BFG's? The factory manual for the 250 states the wheel nut torque is 96 lb/ft, same size nuts.

Yep ordered 3 aerosols and an extended probe earlier today, don't know what colour is coming. Doesn't matter as it will be inside the chassis and not seen.

Is there any particular one? I've nearly got the underside all painted and am looking for the inside of the chassis to be treated.

It cost me £650 to have the rear diff rebuilt inc parts. This was for bearings, oil seal and crush washer. The CW&P were perfect and it has lost that " electric motor" whine it had. I removed it myself and took it to the garage, had it done and collected. I guess it would be similar in the same...

I got mine from Lodge tyres but they did have to order them in.

Have you tried Nayab Akbar on FB? he seems to sell top quality rust free LandCruiser panels and has a very good reputation. Good solid front 90 wings seem to be like gold dust in the UK.

As is said TP, UV damage plus a bit of Kerb rash. As is mentioned a few , including myself really rate the Yokohama Geolander GO15's. I have them on the Collie ( replacing BFG AT3's) on the Hilux ( replacing Cooper AT's) and they both seem to be a nicer drive. Although I've always been a BFG fan...
