The sticks will foul on the dash/heater matrix.

Hi everyone, Ive recentley bought a galvanised puma/tdci bulkhead for my project. I’m planning on fitting a puma/tdci dash. I would like to retain the heater matrix in the puma dash so i have a manual r380 gearbox out of a discovery. I’m interested in what others have done to ‘tidy up’ the...

Thanks again james, you are a wealth of knowledge and an asset to the forum!

Lt77 to r380

What would it involve?

Are the gear selectors on lt77 and r380 interchangeble on the discovery boxes?

Pictures added.

NOW SOLD an lt85 gearbox with bellhousing, mounts, hi-lo lever +linkage. Untested, so selling as a donor/core deposit box Was going to put in my 90 but found a genuine r380 v8. £200 collection only, anglesey. Thanks mike.

Ive used stainless rvnuts quite a few times using this tool, Make sure you get the type with the ‘splined’ sides fir extra grip because they can spin!

Which carrier do you guys use with 35-12.5-15 wheels?

My bulkhead is a 200tdi one, and it isnt bad at all. I’m after a puma/tdci one because i want to install a puma/tdci dash + i dont want the vents/flaps. (I am a welder with over 20 years experience) i would rather use a tdci bulkhead than modify the 200tdi one.

I’m after a 2.2 tdci bulkhead if anyone has a defender their breaking

Everything was together in booklet you get in the glovebox. I found it now though.

It had a 200tdi in it. I sold it quite a few months ago now though.

Unfortunately there is very little left. I’m just glad i have the v5 that has my name on it for putting the engine into my 90

Hi, I was bored and decided to decoded my vin number recently, looking at the vin number, the R states 110 24v Anyone else ever come across this? Its a 3.9 auto jap import 5 door SALLJRMM3TA******

Well, the v5 that i ‘lost’ has made an appearence at last. I’ll get it filled in and sent to the dvla asap.

can anyone give me more information on why there were two different bulkheads for the puma defenders. I assume that one is for the 2.2 and the other is for the 2.4. Plus does anyone have the part numbers for each. Searched the internet but doesn’t give a diffinitive answer on which is which. Thanks

LOL!! bit dodgy filling up with fuel after a bit of a run!

I’m going to ceramic coat my manifolds i think. The outside diameter of the pipes are 48mm
