There are a few on eBay Just looked again and they are plastic!

Bargain, fantastic rimfire! I'm liking the sound of these auctions, I bet some real gems turn up

The citori were made as an affordable alternative to the b25. The market demanded it at the time, the 325 took over from the citori and was slightly lighter.

Forgot to say the back will be solid because the handbreak works off the rear prop!!

That's only showing the backlash in the drive train, they all do that. You need to take them off to get a better idea.

No worries, hopefully you find the problem! Search for " landrover tool box videos " on YouTube really clear descriptive explanation

It will come clear when you are under there. Just treat it like a good woman, pay attention to detail and caress all over!!! I know what you mean about the back door, there is a roundabout here with rumble strips approaching it. Shakes the hell out of mine. I had to do the same to the catch, a swing away wheel carrier is on the shopping list. Hopefully that will lighten the door so I don't have to keep adjusting it To a certain degree they are all a bit unrefined, learn to love it for the agricultural vehicle it is. It's worlds apart from your disco especially if you still have air bags. Really miss my discovery but it didn't make me smile like the fender!

I'll give you that one, Yorkshire tea is pretty good here with our hard water! If taking the front prop off sorts it there are a few things to check, first the uj's. Hold the prop firm and wiggle the flange side to side and back to front, feeling for movement. Only slight movement will cause more of a vibration, if they are sloppy they will clunk. Next the flange on the diff, there will be backlash in this so turn it prob 1/4 turn either way till firm then feel for movement or worn bearings. I have heard of pumas with far to much backlash causing a clunk. If that's the case the diff needs a fettle Next is transfer box, same as the diff, looking for a loose flange or output bearing. You might experience backlash again, this will be rotational movement, a worn bearing will feel a up and down movement, sky and floor so to speak! Then a crow bar and give the gearbox and engine mounts a good wiggle, and all the bushes you can find! Give them some grief if something has worn it will soon be apparent. Repeat for the rear, DONT FORGET the nuts on the handbrake drum!! From experience of driving pumas the gear box from new are a bit clunky. Given yours has a remap and by the look of the add ons possibly a younger driver maybe it's been driven without sympathy. I find to get a smooth drive you have to be a little slower on the clutch and gear changes, it's just the nature of the beast!! Mine has had a map and it can feel a bit harsh, I have let a few people drive it that normally drive cars and my head was like a s@@t on a stick I had a new one booked at landrover and on the test drive even the sales bloke commented how clunky the box felt.

Get out on some boggy fields you will soon learn what it's for!!! There are some really good military videos on YouTube explaining it and the situations it's used. A worth while watch. If you like shiney new tools there is a proper tool for the prop, it makes it an absolute doddle. Take a look on the evil bay Stick kettle on, I'll show you lot how to make a proper cup!!! Given the colour of ditchmans tea in his air rifle thread it would be a lesson well learned!!

And the top?? Do the midnight bin run, balaclava firmly in position and take advantage of the streets wheelie bins!!!!

Lock the diff!! Keep it in high box just push it over to the passengers side!! Make sure you have 2 decent 9/16 ring spanners so you don't round the bolts! You don't need to drive far. If you were closer I would have helped, bit of a road trip for me!!!

Yep that's the quickest easiest way, remove front drive in diff lock. That will then eliminate either the front or back axel and prop. If you do the rear make sure the nuts are on the handbreak drum!! It could get expensive otherwise When the prop is off check the uj's for any movement and I mean any!! I have seen on some that have been replaced the bores on the prop were butchered so a new part would never solve the problem.

Look for a led they run cool!!

If I was you I would be taking each prop off and driving it to see! I chased a clunk in mine for ages, kept checking the props in situ and couldn't find any play. As soon as I took them off I found a small amount of play in the uj's and output bearing on the transfer box. It was only small and couldn't really feel it all bolted up and on the ground. A set of uj's and a bearing job sorted!! I had a auto disco 2 that clunked too, the garages couldn't find anything! Removed the props on that and found it straight away

That's not a shed that's a cover up for a dungeon!!!! Ask Sarah

Is that the remains of "fat Sarah's " denim hot pants?

The drivers side vent doesn't do anything on a rhd vehicle anyway!! It all adds to the overall effect, they look quite good against the puma bonnet

I found without the accelerator it needed to be left some time to work. I also had a bit of the rust staining you mention. I use a nylon brush with the acc and patch out, run it through and it starts to get soapy. Leave it 20 mins or a cuppa then clean out. Works a treat for me

I like a good fondle in the shop...........

Fantastic air rifle. I picked a bit of a project hw77 up the other day and was amazed at how well it shot. I shall be watching with interest to see how it turns out!

This is all good to read! Got a call tonight, my gun is ready for collection. It's very handy they are only a stones throw away from me

If you haven't got the tool which looks like a big pair of pliers a g clamp and ball bearing will do just as well!! the punch method is really only any good if the head of the rivet is on a solid surface, that's why squeezing it together in situ will give a much tighter hold!

Instead of ply couldn't you get one of those plastic chopping boards from the pound shop? No painting needed and 100% waterproof? Just a suggestion

So who is the lucky new owner?

Jl? That's rather nice
