Evening,
I’ve gone and got another Land Rover! This time I have the space, a daily and a decent base. I’m just missing the time!
I saw Rich had a D1 for sale and we chatted for a while and I finally collected at the weekend.
4 hours back without missing a beat. There’s a few gremlins, there’s rust to sort (not too dramatic in d1 terms), there’s things like headliners and sunroofs but the chassis seems very good and it’s an honest truck. Paints also rough but no bother. Best of all, it’s full leather ES model.
It drives well, much better than the defender I had that was worth 15k more
I thought I’d get a log going and do things 1 step at a time this time, learning from my last builds and d1 failure.
First job was switch cleaning so that I could move the seat into correct position. De-gunked, lick of spray and a glued on bottom catch from another spare trim piece and one sided sorted.
Cam belt kit ordered as we couldn’t find recent record of it. Loads of service history with the truck mind.
The plan is to send off a manual pump and my old mech injectors to diesel bob then de-edc it. Although the edc seems to be working really nicely at the moment!
