MHillyard Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Currently a steady very light rain. Only heard it rain once in the night and that was fairly light and lasted 10-15 minutes unless I slept through it all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanter Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Stopped now but grey and claggy bit of a breeze so hopefully will dry more as the day goes on it's soft and it doesn't want any more wet really Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHillyard Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 It has been raining a fair bit you could say.... Just a bit of thunder and lightning mixed in there too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Got here this evening rained stopped thankfully allowing the 9 x9 to go up. Not very happy as the Shorland bust the rear axle 75 miles from destination :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover8FFR Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Oh no Clive. That's not a good arrival. Do you have a plan? Half shaft or Diff which went? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Wayne there was snap sound from the off side. Happened crossing a main road changing up into second. Was a bit worried getting on site in torrential rain in a 4x2. Tried jacking on wood but kept sinking. OS is the shorter shaft which figures. Trouble is this axle is ENV which is rare these days. Going to see Philip on Dunsfold stall to see what he has back at base. He's about my only hope. Nice and sunny now everything drying out :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Johns Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Sorry to hear Clive, its a bit ironic, but years ago had lots of new ENV half shafts, no demand any more for them then so they got used as crowbars, ground anchors etc and eventually thrown in the scrap Edited July 14, 2014 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Nick thanks for that. Philip hopes to have one here on Wednesday. Tootallmike was very supportive in helping me this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryH57 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Clive, out of interest what does ENV stand for regarding half shafts. Are yours so very different from a normal Series Land Rover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Interesting - can't find much about them, other than this found on the U.S. EATON corporation website: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 ISTR that ENV axles were offered as an option at one time on civilian Landrovers - they were a heavier duty axle than LR's standard offering, hence their use on forward controls and some (most?) military LRs.

.303fan Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Some six cylinder 109's had them, one tonne the most to pull the 9.00x16 wheels. well, i am at the show, i got my welding gear from the 1960's and got the parts i think i need to do the electric repairs. ps, i got my pliers to crimp on terminal ends on 50mm2 cable... If someone needs to use it , Give a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 The 1Ton chassis was introduced in 1968. Mine was built on a 1965 2A merely with a 4 cylinder unlike the 1Ton with a 6 clinder. My chassis is reinforced and a forerunner of the later chassis. The ENV axles were considered stronger. Yes I know mine has failed. But gritineye Bernard diagnosed that the bearings have failed thus overloading the haft shaft at the splines. So Philip Dunsfold hopes to have a new shaft and bearings up here tomorrow. I'm very grateful to the many for their help and advice. Particularly Philip and Tootallmike. Maybe be this time tomorrow I'll have a 4x4 again. In the meantime I'm still available with full range electrical novelties and test equipment to do my bit to help those with ignition problems.

Sean N Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Clive, out of interest what does ENV stand for regarding half shafts. Are yours so very different from a normal Series Land Rover? Company founded 1910 in Willesden making aeroplane components, ended up making axles and transmissions for commercial vehicles with factories also in Manchester and County Durham. I've never seen it referred to as anything but E.N.V. so no idea if it stands for anything - perhaps the founders' initials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fesm_ndt Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 About 30ft away from a very tall Dutch erection with two corner reflectors and a Dutch flag in H Jones field I saw a lot of tall blokes but I think this is Clive's "Dutch Erection" [ATTACH=CONFIG]94487[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]94488[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Warm again today but requires special measures. This is the only thing that works for me Sorry don't know why phone has turned it. I am for the moment upright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Well the rain reduced the hay fever somewhat which made life much more pleasant. In postscript to my disaster I would like to thank a number of people. TootallMike & his chum for removing my drive flanges & identifying the failed shaft. Gritineye for spotting a small piece of metal debris within the end cap. The worry was that this debris may have been part of the casing for the roller bearings, so new bearings were ordered. Philip of Dunsfold was superb in getting a bearing kit & half shaft sent up from his stores that arrived the next day. Truly a remarkable service at a modest price considering the current market cost & an on site delivery. Some dealers might have been able to tempted to exploit my predicament, but Philip was as always genuinely helpful. Richard Moyes camped next to me pressed on with the repair & with help from Colin Voss effected the replacement of the half shaft. Not easy because the diff end of shaft cannot be pulled through as it is too wide. So the shaft have to be exchanged from the other end as it were. The bearings were found to be in good condition. Examination of the washer tab showed that not only had it been used before, but the debris had come from a folded over piece that had failed. Allowing the hub nuts to start to undo, which I assume was the straw that broke the camel's back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
