Compressor for ac is chirping. I’m pretty sure that’s the route anyway. Obviously changed the serp belt and main pulley for that anyway. I’m going to try and fix the AC. It works on the dash so hopefully wiring is ok but nothing happens when it’s on and I’m 90% sure that’s the chirp. Part...

I’m going to go scenic but it’ll probably be **** weather anyway!

Did you plastigauge or measure journal/ big end tolerance to ensure you didn’t need above standard?

With the arrival of pig, you may think I’ve forgotten about premium. I’ve not. I’ve been cracking on with details and have also been doing sanding and masking which is boring anyway. I have re-veneered and tru oiled the walnut optional extras and the grey interior is actually being re coloured a...

Taking her on first long trip tomorrow. Regional rescue be ready! I’ve got a coat, coffee a bag of tools, fluids and a length of wire at the ready. Fingers crossed she makes me proud

Island are sh!t hot - rarely go elsewhere. I even managed to get an oem CV from them which is harder than it sounds!!

Mine were really useful on my defender. I also only had wingtops. Believe they were rivnutted with countersunk bolts which was a nice finish. Were excellent for tying down roof rack. At the rear I could just stand on tyres but some get a cute little ladder 😂. I am considering chequer for my d1...

👌 yeah it’ll probably be hiccuping and all sorts of there is already oil in the plug. I actually opened my ecu up very carefully and cleaned it out. I think I got a Bosch FPR. While ago now. Fuel pump will make some noise if going but mine didn’t give much warning.

Excellent. Look forward to watching this. Don’t think you’ll go wrong with turners. What’s the screen on centre of dash? Looks like one of the old wagon rear view screens. Quite a few options for your Egt/coolant etc. on my 300tdi I have a Range Rover cap and level that sets off alarm if...

Think I may be better off just going m10 again as should be enough room. Means I have to oversize the manifold bolt hole and gasket though!

From one shot thread onto another! Egr blank now installed with a modified stub axle bolt. I wanted everything clean as possible to track the oil leaks. As I was doing egr I decided to swap over my intake to one I already had cleaned up. Yup, went to undo the bolt and it wasn’t tight at all...

Don’t wanna go through that again! On the plus, my existing tap wasn’t cutting it (pun intended). I ordered a set of m10 from eBay with not much faith. They weren’t dead cheap but weren’t expensive. Success

Satisfying job that. Much better

Don’t blame you mate! Feel free to let your creative side flow and make me some custom light guards for my d1 or even something different to go on the rear door chequer to recoup the costs 😂. What’s next on the jobs once the issue is out the way? Did the Landy write you a Christmas list? My mrs...

Impressed with it. I think I might get their centre console trim thing now after seeing their stuffs good quality

I mounted spare wheel earlier. I’ve got fairly chunky tyres but nothing daft. The wheel tucks up to tailgate much closer and is a way better fit!

Haven’t got it out yet, snapped one stud extractor so I’ve left it soaking for a while. All I was doing was removing egr crap and that happens. It’s definitely been coking her up.

Looks well made and has big bolts welded in rather than studs that rely on a little tack of weld!

Shame to cover the new one up!!
