Variable geometry turbo. Basically acts like a small turbo at low rpm. Then vanes open at higher rpm and acts like a larger turbo.

Goodies from Empire, ITG filter :D

Get the britpart sachets. They have a plastic spout make filling 10x easier. Those flexi plastic ones just make a mess! Top tip - drop em in some warm water for 10mins, help the grease flow.

Totally. I have power, I've been in 90s and 110s with similar but less weight and it's alot. It's a need not a want.

Thanks you :D I know right. Time certainly has flown! More than GBH, death according to the Fire Brigade, also why this one has an internal cage as well. Little bit extra. Defenders just have no structure to them, I'd never own another without at least a front roll hoop.

Just realised it's been about a year! Can't believe how much I got done in a year, considering last time it took almost 5 😅 It's still not finished but is a Land Rover ever finished 😂 Still though very happy with how it's looking. Definitely been a therapeutic process.

Sliders designed, cut and fabricated by myself all fitted. Not the easiest thing to fit alone! Still need a little tweaking to get the fit bang on but they fit, first time so I'm happy! Got some stainless treadplates to sit on top, break up the bulky design a little. Will be painted bronze...

Ive always liked the white pop! So far likeing the BFGs, certainly not worth the price tag if I where to buy again id get Falkens or Toyos. Though the BFs came to me with less than 200miles on them for less than £500 so cant complain!

Evos are on! They do look lovely! Just need to clean the flanges 😅 and some tyre black 😎😎 The "HD" Wheel nuts i had left over dont fit the Evos well so ordered some standard gloss black ones

Oooo calm down 🤣 ill get more drawer pics when then finished and installed properly. Nooo kwik fit are not fitting these. Local garage have the honour and have done some good work recently! They are off road wheels so just like my Bowlers will be used as intended!

So prettty 🥰🥰🥰

Agreed. Or download mafless software, be done with the dicky expensive sensor

It will.be because of old school mapping which is basically set injectors to max and away you go. I would suggest speaking to Empire Tuning and having it redone from scratch. However if it is still very smokey with a standard map I would suggest - clean the MAP sensor with contact cleaner -...

Cleaner than the last pic 😂 also 100miles since service and not a drop of oil from the rocker. Nicely sealed 😁 What I did notice is quite a lot of play in the steering UJs which would hopefully explain the wandering sensation. Luckily have one at work 😅 suppose it pays to panic order large...

https://www.empiretuning.co.uk/nanocom-software-download/ You need a Nanocom to reflash. Who mapped the car? Looks like it needs redoing. In a pinch find the smoke sticker, top left corner bulkhead in the engine bay. Its black and silver. Remove that. Unplug the map sensor & temp sensor...

I dont mind the turbo noise at all! This just isnt a pleasant noise, super high pitched. So got an ITG on order :)

Standard 300tdi filter. Its definitely from the airbox not the snorkel, much louder when the vents open.

Head onto Empire Tunings website, they have a portal to download original map files. However if correctly tuned it should pass Mots without issue

Haha if only! Service was definitely needed! The smokeyness has fallen massively, engines quieter. Only downside is the design of the 300tdi air filter is causing and awful high pitched noise.... Sounds almost like a warped manifold 👀 Its not didnt do it with the old filter 😅

Another incredibly busy day in the heat!! Full service, 2k early but off too Scotland soon so thought I would do it before hand. Ran out of my usual oil and Oppie oils had sale so went for Fusch, came highly recommended. £42 for 10L Forgive the state of the engine bay ive since cleaned it 😂...
