Looking good.

Neat! Who's is the bob tailed Range Rover?

Don't think he'll be using the overdrive much.

That's lookin' good, Nigel.

Monday morning with a mate, Bob, we collected a trailer and went up to move my caravan. All went well. Trailer loaded with what I was taking home and caravan lowered to ground and moved to an empty pitch. Then it started. Came to drive back to where we'd left the trailer and no clutch. Bonnet up and a small leak was spotted in the pipe running to slave cylinder. My local Land Rover specialists wife kindly came up with a pipe he removed from another vehicle, along with brake fluid. We bled and bled and bled it, all to no avail. 6-30 pm we decided to go home and Sarah, who had kindly stayed with us took us. Tuesday morning collected a slave cylinder and along with more fluid, Bob and I returned in his Range Rover, to do what should have been an hours job. No matter what we did we could not get a pedal. 2-45pm, hungry and getting p****d off decided to tow the Disco back. Bob not to happy with only a rope. So I suggested I drive it back. Selecting low box, 2nd then starting engine off we went. 30-35mph managing to get 3rd now and then, down the A74 and A7. Not to popular with those coming up behind us. Negotiating, traffic lights, roundabouts and the rush hour traffic around the outskirts of Carlisle, we reached the garage, 30 miles and an hour and a half later. This morning, calling in garage on way to collect trailer in borrowed Disco, I was informed it looks like the clutch release bearing has failed. The leak in the pipe had thrown us of track.

Or one of those things you take your cat to the vets in.

Great collection, Dave and welcome to MoM.

Ouch! What do you get for your money, Mark?.

Very nice. Did you get 4 jaw and face plate as well, plus tools?

That's very nice. Year, engine size etc please.

Aye! Join the queue.

By 'eck lad, that's mucky.

Now that has potential Koen. Converted to rear wheel drive and an engine in place of batteries.

No progress due to being unable to locate replacement trans main bearings. Could have maybe got second hand from the states, but cost for something unknown put me off. Other matters have put it back as well. I can get metric bearings of a slightly different size off the shelf. So in a couple of weeks time, I will get the cases bored out to take the metric OD and will sleeve the diff casings to take the bearing ID. Been rather frustrating but Hey Ho!

I don't doubt it with Nigel next door. Be interesting to see what transpires.

Translated into English, does that mean the body will cover the wheels?

With a metal pipe of any type, vibration could be a problem. Rubber fuel pipe would be best. You could run it through another tube for protection. Ie the corrugated type electricians use.

I know it would be free advertising, but would a place for info of this kind be a bad idea? Not just for Kohlers, but any place people have found parts for their machines, implements etc. Just a thought as info like this can be lost in the depths of the forum.

IMO it's cheap.

That's a good price Ian. Pity I'm not nearer and have room for it.

Swan neck going on top of that frame? Bit old for dollies isn't he?

You can't attach an artic trailer to THAT! Looking good though. And twin exhaust? Well what can I say?

Wish I still had my 441 BSA, Bantam Bushman and 500 pre unit Tribsa special. Also the other 40 or so bikes I've owned.

Mmmm! Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee.

That's a good idea, Johnathan. Just don't tell the wife.
