Dead good to hear her running mate puts ya mind at rest that the rest of the Money to be spent is worthwhile!!

smog:
ermmmmmmm will look for the solinoid over the weekend, to wire it ermmmmmm giz a couple days for me to find the wiring diagram i used (will scan n upload it). if not git the switches and i will come across n sort it, can only go wrong once or twice :lol: besides how much can a few dozen fuses cost :roll:
Throat is good now kinda, just need more sunshine and less cold and maybe i could get some wor done on the landrovers.
timberdog:
Well underside of Lightweight is seal up good and proper now thank god!!
Started to clean areas off with Angle Grinder to weld up etc ..
I have a slight problem has anyone got any good ideas for getting off Rusted on wheel nuts as they have been on that long i bet they have seized on!!
I have soaked in WD40 and gave they a ood bang on each one to try to free up thread etc..
Only thing i can think of is to get some heat on then nuts..Trouble is i can only get my hands on a Small blow torch can??

If it were driveable i would suggest going to a tyre place and ask them to loosen them all.
Banging with hammer, heating and soaking in WD40 you already tried so thats screwed, try an extension on the wheel brace (6ft scaffold tube) if nothing else it will either break them or slacken them.
Thing is you need them off regardless so essentially whats the worst you have to do ? replace a few bolts ?
:lol: when you need another axle giz a shout :lol:

As suggested, hexagonal impact socket, on a 3/4 drive is better, lean like hell on the scaff bar and get some to thump the back of the socket with at least a 2 pound lump hammer
Or like I used to do sit on the bar and hit it, be prepared to land on your backside while still sitting on the bar though :shock:
