Hi Karl, see you next week

I'll try to post some pics of it in situ when I get truck back later this week, its just been in to have an intercooler fitted:banana-wrench:

Build quality is spot on, its almost a piece of engineering artwork to put under the bonnet, the ebay photo's don't really do it justice. All the mountings are correct & welds are all flawless. And if it gets damaged in any offroad "incidents" :doh:you stand a fighting chance of getting it...

Anybody had any experience of wiring in a Husky 8 winch into an 80 series 24v diesel, will the standard alternator & battery set up cope with the high ampage supply these winches need, 400 amps on full load :shock: . Something to do with the inefficient but ultra reliable worm drive gearbox ??

Try ebay.com (American site) there's some hand built alloy rads, 40% larger capacity than standard, high quality item from Thailand, bought one last year, had it shipped direct from Thailand to the UK and it arrived within ten days cost £225 inc import tax and shipping. Bargain, same item from...

Hi all, I know this subject has probably been covered many times but cant seem to find the right thread. I'm currently building a 24v 80 manual diesel and concidering fitting oversize tyres, but could do with some advice on what mods are needed. The LC is mainly a road going tow truck although...

Thanks for all the expriences & opinions Simon

Hi, anybody fitted the Milner polybushes ? they seem to be less than half the price of the genuine polybush kit, but how do they compare ?

Sorry phone number is 07831 426909

Its grey leather, the only signs of wear is outer band round the drivers seat which is pvc anyway. All the leather good and free of any cracking. Not sure if I'm suposed to put ebay links on but here goes http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400432197294?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649...

Thanks for the tips so far. Found the Aussie offroad80s site & joined but cant seem to find that subject at all Simon

Hi all I have a 1995 24v diesel manual 80 with a very rotten body shell, but brilliant engine & box & have just aquired a mint 1995 24v petrol/lpg auto with a knackered gearbox. The plan is to remove engine & box from the diesel & transplant them into the mint one. Other than the obvious...

1995 80 series manual diesel All ignition lights remain lit with engine running, although the only thing thats at fault is the alternator not charging the batteries, oil pessure is ok, as is the coolant level & brake fluid. Very occasionly the lights will go out, but as soon as the engine is...
