Thanks mate, wasn't too difficult really :)

Again not a Land Rover, but will be used in Land Rover shows :D Pretty much finished the stove, will make a grill and pan for it so I can cook food on it soon :D My welding was a bit better today as well :p

:hysterically_laughi enough said

^ What he said, I also think later ones have smoother edges and earlier ones are sharper edges, and they rust like there's no tomorrow :p

Can't imagine why :scratching_chin: :p

Yet another post for my signature :D Every forum needs a Dr evil :p

I'm not one to talk, but that made me laugh :D

You making a bumper ye? It can be a bit awkward but get it right and your rewarded with a tidy and very strong weld, I still need plenty of practice myself :D

Your a star, thanks very much :)

Nothing on the Defender, but made some decent progress on my camping stove :D A bit of flap disc action, and tack welding. Want to arc weld it when I get a bit more time :)

Ah right, so do the 'missing' splines go 180○ to each other? Or does it not make a difference? This wasn't even in the genuine land rover service book, thanks for the reply jm :D

Hi all With my old 200tdi in the shed being rebuilt, my dad and I noticed after changing the oil pump that the drive shaft that goes from the pump to the helical gear and the to the brake vacuum pump has one spline 'missing' on both the shaft and the female spline on the vacuum pump drive...

I'll take the majority vote as a Puma :D Now I have some idea what door cards to get, not sure I can be arsed putting electric windows on them though :rolleyes: Thanks all

Prepared my injector pump + injectors to be sent off for renewal when I find a Bosch specialist, anybody have any idea roughly how much it could cost for renewal?

Hi all I got a pair of like new doors from the Spring adventure and I'm now wondering if they're Puma age or TD5? I've attached a few pictures, just wondering if anyone knows any tell tale signs indicating what they are? I've tried my 200tdi door cards on them and they had a few differences...

Pressure washed the 200tdi block, fitted the new main shell bearings and the crankshaft, just waiting for a new oil pump and new piston/rings to come and the bottom end of the engine can be finished :D

Used it to winch out a willow tree that had grown horizontally, made very light work of it :D

Dropped a few of my mates off so they could go out on the ****, love the looks I get when I drive through town :D

After giving up with my foam rooflining, I had another go today, and have kind of sorted the problem and it involved 3 strips of mahogany :D will get some pictures tomorrow if weather is good :)

+1 TD5's are great until they go tits up :rolleyes: Not denying that that you haven't had problems, but my dads had several that there has been a problem with a fuel injector wiring harness, very trivial, but has bricked the engine, but then I've also heard of them still running with a bad...
