    What is the world coming to?

    As a (now ex) BT engineer, years ago when fibre broadband had just been launched, I arranged for the job to instal our connection to be issued to me as there would be no one else at home. I did fantastic job! :thumbup::laughing-rolling:

    Really?

    Does the estimate include uprating of brakes, suspension and the rest of the transmission? A standard LS3 puts out around 430bhp with similar torque figures, way too much for standard 80 running gear IMO, plus if they've never done an 80 before they're bound to hit unforeseen problems and...

    Help! - Mangled Locking Wheel Nut. Any Tips?

    When I removed mine with the nut welding method, I shielded the alloy wheel with a piece of thin wall tubing just big enough to fit in the nut well, then made a good job of the weld. I suspect the localised intense heat of the welding process helped a lot here.

    Help! - Mangled Locking Wheel Nut. Any Tips?

    The knackered locking nut has a revolving collar round the outside which spins so I doubt these would work even if they were big enough.

    Help! - Mangled Locking Wheel Nut. Any Tips?

    I had those locknuts on my LR Discovery and they were shite. I ended up doing as suggested above and welded a nut on the end which worked.

    No movement in 2wd only grinding noise but movement in 4wd 2019 76 series

    Yes, thinking about it, if the problems only in 2wd it must be the drive to the rear and not the front that's the issue.

    Does it have free wheeling hubs? If it has it could possibly be one of those that has failed.

    What a Dirty Slapper!

    She's obviously flattened some grass in her time:thumbup: No reason why she shouldn't have plenty left in the tank though. Nothing wrong with a "good old'un":icon-biggrin:

    Axle / Diff Breather and Hub Seals

    I extended all my breathers high enough to not bother with the valves. If I end up in water deep enough to swamp the breathers I've got far more important things to worry about!:laughing-rolling:

    Insurance - Add Additional Vehicle vs Take Out New Policy?

    There's so many factors that will affect this. I've done this with bikes but not cars and found prices vary massively from company to company and vehicle to vehicle. When I bought another new bike in 2020 I added it onto an existing policy for way less than the cost of a new policy but when I'd...

    Instrument cluster check lights

    The air bag light is there! :laughing-rolling:It comes on on first key turn. If you turn the key back to "accessory" position and back to ign on it does not light. You have to turn the key back fully then back on. Curiously, the centre diff lock light does not come on (to the left of the front...
