Sump off cleaned, primed sanded and painted. Water pump looks and spins as new so cleaned it up along with the timing case and rocker cover, oh how I do like a bit of bling

Lazy day in the office, despite being pebble dashed in old engine oil, oh ye! Forgot that I hadn’t drained the oil out of the engine before taking the flipping sump off. Despise knocking the sump with the 13mm socket before starting it bloody...

Much jealousy of the grey miracles

An unintentional 275. Never Mind 😵‍💫

You don't have a Defender though, maybe the early seats are different in some way?

Story of my aircon life that is

Here are some pics of where I've got to. There's a picture of one (of 2) metal tab, which I don't think is going to help me much....

Defender 90, 1986 200TDi Hi all Thought I'd spend the evening fitting new Britpart seat covers to my Defender 90 seats. Watched the video and got stuck in, only to quickly realise that the guy in the video has not got the same seats as I have...

Found a groupon offer for aircon recharge at ats. £43 summit. System empty, which I knew, now nice and cold again but it won't last unless the leak that nobody can find has fixed it self.

The oil cooler went on mine a few years ago too. I don't think it's one of the coolers though as it really doesn't appear like there is any oil in the coolant. My slight worry is combustion stuff obviously. There is a dark residue in the bottom...

@doriz I normally find landrovers here But this was on https://m.facebook.com/groups/138796726689167/

Sorry mate first pics passenger side as good as my 09

Appears to be all drivers side removed passenger side trim, cill all good outer and inner, when all along underside with a dolly hammer in fact as good as they get, brakes pipes seem ok so far but once jacked up can see better but to be honest...

The tractor runs I do tend to be about 10mph. Which on my super is low third so works ok. But is a little fast for the friends fordson standard. A B275 is acceptable because it is not grey!

Don’t know 🤔 Always presumed they meant a bmw engine in an early FL2 6 cyl Volvo is more ME :vb-banana: liked the 5 cyl ones also

They did use a 6cyl Volvo engine in the FL2, unless that's what you mean lar? 🤔 Ah, So, the bmw m47 was in fl1 as a 2.0d🫵

Mate has a Super Major, it’s too fast for the tratter run.

International b275

The 2.2 td4 in the FL2 was a timing belt👍

Mmmm, bmw? Sd4 or the td4 in the fl1.. 🤔

I’ve seen a couple need new chains before 100,000. Didn’t know the block was in the FL2, but was always told get the earlier bmw diesel if I go Freelander. Big IF

Have a look at YouTube, there will be a video for it.

The 1.5hdi is a camshaft link chain thrower, they've now reverted back to a thicker oil and chain😩 I've got the 2.0hdi in my volvo/Ford focus based car. So far 210.000mls on it and it goes like stink tuned to 170bhp🫣 I think the handling comes...

Had a check of the drivers side strut mounts and main nut to see if they are the source of the annoying knock I have still present. all were tight as can be so I'm definitely suspecting the top mount/bearing. I also discovered some contamination...

Yip the old PSA group. Ford/Citroën/peugeo club, for the diesel any way 👍

Yes PSA put in loads of things. Think they originate from France

Have a trawl around local garage workshops asking for wipers they've replaced. Then set up some sacrificial wiper blade 'artwork' to draw then away from your car.

They are the ones with the sh*tty chains aren’t they? Don’t like being driven hard. Like mik said is it DW10 or DW12?

The fl2 was a citroen 2.2 hdi👍
