Don't they stay in the outbox until they are read by the recipient?

Yes, I thought it was a problem as well until I found that out. They will stay in your outbox until the receptient reads it. So you can delete it or edit it etc.

Hey you fella's
Stick to the thread, this is about Nissan diffs into Disco's I believe.

Sorry Cloggy, didn't realise it was your thread....

Have you guys started the rear diff yet? How do you get on for things like handbrake cables etc? Is the Nissan diff disc or drum?

Cheers
Matt.

The rear is in. LR's have handbrakes on the back of the transfer. Nissan copied this, which is a good thing. nissans are disc.

Nice one so that's one less thing to have to worry about re cables. Will you need to make new hardlines up to reach the calipers?

Yeah where are the pics :-)

Good work.

Matt.

Has it changed the angle of the top A arm much?
I guess this is now sitting right on top of the diff housing seeing this is now in the middle of the axle.
Did you cut the ball joint mount of the Rover axle and reuse this?

It has probably returned the a frame angle to stock by putting it on top. Yes, we cut the rover housing and put it on top.

The last parts always the hardest to finish off

... but we're still waiting :shock:

my trucks getting the headers repaired, they had to re-machine them to take (BAD) buckle out of them, I'll have to do a bit more regular maintenence to check the bolts don't keep coming loose on the heads, the guy said they'll keep loosening because of the way they're constructed ?

I take it you don't know james then?! Believe me, you don't want your son to be anything like him!

Tu on the other hand is a nice boy, James should have been put in a sack and dropped off the bridge at birth, or maybe he was, it would explain a lot :lol:
