    Thread size on radiator oil cooler

    i tried a 1/2" bsp socket on it today and it went on but the pitch is wrong - so at a guess it's 1/2" something

    Lego Land Rover

    well i think you were right 1st time if you look at the overhang it's as long as the wheel and thats about 4 bricks???

    Lego Land Rover

    look forward to it:) also if i was being picky with the 109 rear overhang you have gone 2 bricks - have you tried to do it 3 bricks long? i would think that would look more in proportion to the full size one? how much in bricks does it cost you to make one of these?

    How much should I offer?

    have you got any pics? what is it swb or lwb

    How much should I offer?

    got any photos? chances are he won't want to sell anyway offer £50 - purchase price is insignificant compared to what you'll spend if its a restoration :)

    Stood for 20 yrs - 109 series 3 resto thread.

    no pics but fitted the new 200tdi exhaust manifold - the turbo still won't fit in place but it's easier to adapt it than the 300 manifold also managed to bleed the clutch - nice and heavy just how it should be got the fuel tank ready for fitting but i don't have a return pipe - how do others...
