Everything has to be dismantled to move parts from the old to the new Land Rover.

I found a strange device digging in electrics.

It looks like an electric thermostat and it is connected with a box for heating. What is it?





There are two relays and a probe that is inserted into the box with the radiator.

Impressed with your work - good to see you doing this and saving a Disco!

Exceptional.

So have you modified the loom to your custom specification?

Yes, Webato and Parrot installed. I did not move ABS unit. In the place of this unit on the right side I installed Parrot and Webasto electronic..

How are you getting on with this? Excellent work, if you put your mind to something and get on with it it's amazing what you can achieve.

I'm not finished yet, I have to replace chassis. So first old one needs to be washed:



Old body has been removed and scrapped.



Engine and gearbox out, everything prepared to put body on this chassis.

Excellent work mate. Can't begin to imagine what hell you went through with the wiring. The pics don't show the swearing.

Well done.

Why is this man still a 'junior' member? After this thread I should think 'Demi-god' was more appropriate...
