yes i know stu,when it had mot and knowing it needed so much work i wanted to run the tax off it before i ripped it to bits
looks a lot better now stu what you think?

[LEWI007]

My uncle is messing around with a similar transit to this at the minute, i told him get the turbo diesel engine and make it into a Transit RS Turbo lol with the stickers and everything...

[blue_peg_16v]

[Rickyb]

i love these trucks apart from the rot but other than that there brill, youve just got to watch the weight on them as there a tad heavy.

iits like converting a mk1 nova to a mk2 it shouldnt be done,there arent many mk3 transits left on the road now

[blue_peg_16v]

[Andy]

[davidfox280585]

yes si admit rich the power steering box was a damn good find for £30 to say ive watchedd the boxes alone make £300 on evilbay

cheers andy, its had some use already and proving reliable minus an hiccup with the winch cable snagging now sorted

[blue_peg_16v]

That cable is a fecking liability lol

[Andy]

Cables scare me,make sure you have a cut off! them bastads carry on pulling if theyre feeling that way out!

i just aquired a proper red cut off switch, foc so will fit this into the main feed wire and it has remote winch so im pretty sure it will definately need it in

[Andy]

I had a remote on mine also but they can and DO fail,whatever the age of them.Happened on my smiley,fukking cable were like a guitar string lol

[davidfox280585]

it is on the to do list but will be one of the first jobs

[Andy]

Thats ok then lol
Also,theres nothing that got me angrier when the cable started to fray and i touched it with no gloves on.That feels epic in this kind of cold we have had,make sure you try it at least once lol lol

[Lewis.]

nice truck that :) tidiest MK3 i've ever seen. is it all solid underneath?

It's also worth having an isolator for the winch inside the cab, as there are cnuts out there who'll spool the cable out, over the cab roof and onto the front crossmember, then bridge the terminals on the solenoid box and... well, you can imagine the result :eek: Was a fairly common occurence when I was on the Land Rover forums.

its solid now,not pretty in some but solid,
they cant get near it as its fitted with a perimeter arming as its fitted with a clifford arrow 3 alarm
if you put 1 foot on the bed it starts chirping or look through the window it chirps aswell to warn people off,
the alarm i got give from a friend so threw it in why not!

even better then :) suppose it's easier to mess with when stuck on the front of a LR.
how does the perimeter thingy work btw? always wondered that
