Poor lad not having a good time at the moment (n)

I doubt you'll find someone willing to sell you any, as use of chemicals within agriculture is stringently regulated. Basically, the health and safety aspect of sprays has been drummed in to farmers so much that no one would risk putting a foot wrong. However, the 'weed killer' we use is exactly...

Still looking, not found anything yet!

Rapid Electronics are another good one for mail order electrical components, very good service. I would refuse to spend more than £5 fixing this, it's only a micro switch. Maplin are a bit more expensive but you're more likely to have a local one.

Local place is £240 pw for a new 531-70. Don't know how that pays! Same place charges £220 a week for a £4000 trailer (n)

That's what I was thinking of, just a bit heavy and cumbersome.

Until I increased the size of pipe, yes, there were some tense moments wondering whether I'd end up with a big mess :LOL: Better with a bigger pipe, but I'll probably improve the design and find some sort of container designed to take pressure, as the concept of it is great, much more convenient...

I use a 25l drum fitted with a tyre valve and a pipe. Put tyre inflator on the valve and oil comes out of the pipe (y)

New-ish Bateman RB-35?

I'm not saying it isn't that, but the stop solenoid is far less susceptible to being affected by interference while cranking, compared with a crank position sensor. Is the sensor anywhere near the starter motor or do the wires pass near each other?

If this were the explanation then surely putting the jump pack on would provide enough extra juice for it to work properly?

Yes, if a fault code is triggered then it is stored. However, things like this can often cause problems without the system realising there's a fault.

Didn't think so, always worth trying the simple stuff first. Not as simple as that, diagnostics doesn't always find the problem with an error code, quite often a case of trawling through live data and comparing it known acceptable values.

As above, with Land Rovers, it's often the CPS not giving a correct signal whilst current is being supplied to the starter motor. See if you can read the live data from the CPS whilst cranking, using diagnostics, then compare it to the data whilst the engine is running. I'd put my money on that...

I had a pair relined for just under £50, was quoted around £120 for new ones.

Pick up hitch hook (y)

Yes would certainly be interested depending on price and confirming fitment! Has the guy paid for it?

Yes, one of the last without ad blue.

New Holland T6080. Something like that step box would be ideal, was thinking of making one hence wanting pictures, didn't realise something was available off the shelf. What sort of money did that cost?

Can people post pictures of either in cab or external (not using the front linkage) storage solutions they've knocked up? Just looking for some inspiration if anyone can help!
