What way do people find is the best way to clean Lego in bulk? I've recently purchased a set from Ebay. Obviously I could clean parts individually, but being quite a big technic set, thats a bit long winded. Any suggestions? Thanks

So I went for 42097 to go on the back of my low loader. What do you think? 42097 is great little set, really enjoyed the build. I've also just managed to get a second hand 42054 Claas for £110, which I think is a bargain.

I've gone for 42097. Will see what it looks like. I did ideally want 42054, but can't justify the money on a second hand kit at the moment.

Hi all. I have recently completed this monster. Made from 42098 using instructions from rebrickable. I highly recommend this build, its really good fun. I am now looking for something that will sit nicely on the back of it, but don't want spend 100s of pounds. I have been looking at cranes. Either 42108 or 42097. Does anyone have any experience with any of these? Are they any good? Also if anyone can tell me the length of the body of 42108 (excluding the arm), that would be appreciated. Along with any other recommendations. Many thanks

@brickless_kiwi how much?

Hi all, for some reason it won't let me post this in Buy & sell section. I am looking for 42054 Claas Xerion 5000. They seem to be pretty hard to come by. Does anyone have one for sale? Preferably in the uk. Many thanks.

Hi all, I am looking to rebuild Car transporter 42098 into C model (MOC-34722) heavy duty truck & trailer from rebrickable. Question to anybody who has done this. Does the blue car require dismantling as well, or can I build this using the parts from just the actual transporter. Thought I'd ask before I started pulling it apart. Thanks

So finally in the process of building the LR. All was going well until I put the wheels on to test it before assembling the body. Low and behold its cracking when going forward in Hi and low range and the engine doesn't work. I've checked and double checked all the gearing as I was assembling it. Ive removed and refitted the UJ's multiple times in different positions, following guides and videos online. Ive checked the diff is fitted the correct way, which it is. I know this is only a static model for me, but its the principle of it. Its becoming quite frustrating and you really expect something that cost so much money to work correctly.

Thanks for all the pointers. I will pay attention to the details when building. It is going to be a display model so If it does crack, its not the end of the world. Just wanted to make sure I eliminate any potential issue before its fully assembled. @agrof that B model does look awesome. Will have to give that a go at some point

Thank you @leafan, I will ask there.

Hi all, just joined. Hope you are all keeping well. I have recently taken delivery of 42110 Land Rover defender. Really looking forward to getting started on it. I have heard a few horror stories about the gearbox cracking and engine not working. Something to do with the UJ alignment? Is this something people are doing wrong or are the instructions incorrct or unclear? Any advice/pointer welcome. Thanks
