1 done
2 you may have to get mone made or modife the two hoses to fit
3 swap to the range rover ones no problem
4 to the heater box does not matter which way round either
5 5/16" or 8mm copper is fine and the same on the return
6 no but you can buy the nas spec cables for the speedo and transducer
7 use the original hand barke unit if it is a lt230 t box or the range rover one if it is the viscous unit

Out of ineterest, what tunnel are you going to use?
My V8 auto has the original tunnel cover, the pain is that you cannot get carpets etc for it.
If you can fit a different one then it is worthwile doing so - if you do, please let me know - I'll change mine.
I have no idea if you can use a different one though.
There is nothing wrong with your work mate, very nice indeed.

what exhaust down pipe are you using? I've fitted the cats on mine and ive noticed that where the loom gos into the chassis is right up against the cat on the drivers side, so i'm either going to have to get a different exhaust or try and move the loom some how.
how did you get on with yours did you get it running?im nearly there on mine ive got all the seat box back in and have a good mate that will be doing the electrics this friday .main couple bits ive got to do if the powersteering pipes as needs modifying,and need a mocal oil cooler for the auto box as i dont want to use the bog brush one

Its only a suggestion Malc, but I would avoid putting the ECU in the battery box, Only because its a dark, damp, lonely place, containing a plastic box full of acid. Rover always kept it in the passenger compartment (RR under seat, Disco by your toes) and I'm sure they have their reasons for this.
I managed to pull enough loom through the big hole I drilled by the fusebox, and running the loom along the edge of the tunnel and across the seatbox, to mount the ecu on the bulkhead between the seats.
Nice and warm and dry, and out of harms way.
I keep meaning to put up some pictures of mine but I'm away from home at the minute and have no pics in the laptop.
Good luck, Dave.
