Another vote for combi colour here, it seems pretty durable and sprays well once thinned down, I did all my cappings, axles etc with it. Aaron do you brush or spray it? I sprayed the cappings after red-oxide primer and found that it chips very easily but it has stuck on the axle very well with...

I had a Richards one and am very pleased with it. Marslands were good but they wouldn't do any mods to the chassis prior to galvanising and it seemed silly to damage the new galv. It's a shame Richards don't do the adjustable bar along the top of the rear Xmember though. Things to consider (I...

Someone on the Defender2 forum is producing the modified boxes, IIRC it was a case of cut your current boxes and rivet in the new ones. I can't seem to find the link now but it may be worth having a search on there.

Ginge, Really sorry but I wont be able to make it tomorrow, not had a chance to change the alternator yet :( Have a good trip, hopefully I'll join you for another one. Harry

Got the green light from the ball and chain so that's all good. If I can get the alternator done tonight and move a few jobs around tomorrow, then I'll be coming. Either way I'll confirm tonight :)

That's back-up plan but I'd rather not route pipework the whole way around the engine to mate with the filter which sits between the heater and the screenwash bottle on the passenger side. More importantly I dont want to obscure vision to the drivers side and have to listen to the 'woosh'...

I'm just in the process of nailing a Southdown snorkel onto the 90. The destructions that I got from the internet say to position the wing moulding 120mm in front of the bulkhead, mark hole and cut etc but that is dead above the heater motor so won't work. Could anyone confirm whether the...

Sounds ideal, Market Harborough is 10 minutes from me :D That's really kind of you but thankfully there was a heavy parcel for me when I got back from work, just got to bolt it on and run an additional wire to cope with the increased ampage but should be good to go. What sort of time are...

Which direction will you be heading in on saturday? Just trying to work out if I can do the whole day or part of it....assuming an alternator arrives in the post tomorrow :rolleyes:

Can't comment on the Insa version but had some of the original BF versions and they were a great compromise of an AT and an MT. Also had a set of the Bronco remould version before Insa started making them and they seemed just as good, and not too noisy.

Hi Ginge, I'm sorry about the slow response but I won't be able to make Friday, my alternator has shat it's bearings and I cant get the replacement fitted until Friday night. Could be easily persuaded for sat/sun however ;)

It depends where you want to measure the boost. If you want to see the boost that the turbo produces then place it where Tim suggested. The other place is to install it is by tapping a hole in the inlet manifold. This will show the actual boost pressure that the engine receives, helping...

I guess I've missed this week, but if you are doing any next week then I'd love to tag along please?

Keith Gotts used to sell the kit to convert the bulkhead diaphragm to 300/r380 spec. It's not listed on their website anymore but may be worth ringing them. Good luck, I'm hoping to swap to an r380 from my lt77 so will be watching with interest. :D

I'm about to start covering the seat box, insides of doors etc in Flashband to help reduce the drumming from bare metal panels. There is a review on Screwfix that says if you use a hot air gun then you don't need to use the corresponding primer, is that correct? I don't want to have to pull...

There is a good thread in the Members Build section on LR4x4 about a guy that put one into his 110.

I'll have one please :D Will PM you now.

Bugger, I was hoping to take the 90 there for the first time since the rebuild...until the turbo shat it's oil seals out yesterday :( Hopefully I'll be there for the next one though

Would anyone mind grabbing a tape measure and taking a couple of measurements for me? I would like to fit the straps that stop the rear tailgate dropping down onto the towbar but not sure where the tub brackets go? Ideally the height off the floor and the distance from from the vertical lip...

I bought the flexi from a local motor factor and it was pretty cheap. The 65mm stainless tube pipe was 'acquired' from work in the form of a broken patio heater :D
