What have you done on your 90/110/130 today?

[congo181]

Painted the rims today. Also tried to replace the stupid Lucas diff switch. What a piece of cheap junk. Still doesn’t work and now I have two broken switches. Bah.

 

[Zed.]

struggled with gearbox-tunnel & floor plate screws / bolts / fucknosewhats then jetwashed the gearbox & bellhousing (also most of the seatbox & dashboard) ready for the engine swap tomorrow...

200tdi here we go...



Rich.

 

[congo181]

Windscreen success. Took two of us three hours but the original 34 year old laminated tinted screen is back in!

200tdi here we go...Rich.

empty space....

starting to fill the 'ole...

it starts, runs and drives foreward / reverse so thats a win?





also....

F'kin Landrovah.

engine in BUT why the differences between 2.5D Ninety & 200tdi?

bought (@ great expense!) a genuine LR 200tdi fuel return pipe (from IP to tank), fits the IP BUT different thread on the tank

W-Anchor.

the 200tdi engine loom plugs into the 2.5d Ninety's main loom, no dice with the alternator / charge light on dashboard (was previously tested when running the engine on the floor)

turbo heatshield 'touches' the bonnet (military jobbie with strengtheners for spare-wheel if that matters?) - sorta wondered about this and looked for one @ Newbury but....

theres more, like fitting pas....

but thats another rant

Rich.

I see you now have power steering

I see you now have power steering

YUP

one-hand light steering now

opposed to two-handed struggling

but I'm struggling to fit the metal pipework neatly across the front crossmember - whatever I do looks messy & I dont want them rubbinhg or fracturing

On mine there’s two W shaped clips, one each side, that clamp the two metal pipes to the back of the front x-member. It would be part 13 in this diagram.

Thankyou for this, sorta what I was expecting (guessing mostly)

I've been searching google for photo's but most are from the front

Just new disks now

 

[slomofo]

Just new disks now

Four weeks of standing and they’re looking a bit tatty - bit poor for 2yr old rotors….

Few trips up and down the Fosse Way will sort the rust out - either that or I’ll be in a hedge

Thankyou again

unfortunately (for me?) it seems that.....

the routing I've found is opposite

Rich. (fighting ocd or stupidity with Offender pas pipework)

If you want I can take pictures of the factory routing tomorrow. I’m pretty sure the larger pipe is on the top.

If you could that would be seriously helpfull

I've been trawling build-threads but havn't seen (in itself a bit of Luck?) anything concrete

Down nothing to it again….(did do some work on the S1 today though)
Drove it for 40 miles,emptied the back of rubbish at the tip. Mrs then drive it home.

looked through a catalogue at a rear winch set up…. Then realised I have some brackets in the way. Back to the drawing board.

Got my insurance renewal for the 90. It’s gone down by £16 on last year. Shopped around and nothing to really match it. That’s a whole £16 more to spend on the Landy!
