Sorry to bother you but i'm looking for some info on how you hand painted. I have paint from PaintMan and brought Hamlton Prefection paint brushes. I paint in garage. i load the brush sparingly but find the coverage very small. i reload brush, but, as i blend into the previously paint its all...

Nice job, did you thin the pait down first or use straight out the tin?

I would like to see that too. especially the underground heating - very interested in knowing more about this please.

Thanks for all the input - apparently its a wire, pre existing from the 2.5 n/a & TD era that went to Glow Plug 4 from the ignition to hold on to warm up. but mine has the Glow Plug Heater Relay (PRC6913). So infact Nobber you were spot on with your findings of "brown/red is glow plug/ignition...

So, i'm wondering if it fits to the glow plug post. This is also the same stud that the Yellow/Black (If i remember correctly) wire fits to from the Glow Plug Heater Relay (PRC6913)?

No workshop manual just the Haynes one. which is 1986-1991 or 1991-1994. mine is a genuine defender 200tdi @ 1991 so could be an overlapping.

Thanks for the quick reply - I took about 300 photos of the strip down but cant find any that show this cable. I was assuming that because it was mainly Brown it was live??

Help please on identifying a wire. I am in my 2nd year of rebuilding a 200tdi 90 and have a spare wire :( I have a thickish Brown (with Red tracer) coming out of the loom about 3 inch from where the loom comes through the bulkhead into the engine bay. It has a eye termination on the end of the...

Well the bi-yearly update:

Just a quick update. Managed to get the Rear Tub from down the side of the house and into the garage. The seat belt areas were non existance and had to be plated. The 3 cross bar supports i have had to weld up. Tub is just sitting high and rearwards whilst other items need doing.

Ok... the 12 monthly update by the look of things lol. Not much happened as 2 weeks after tha last post the son got diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes - He had just turned 7. He was in a very bad way and got rushed in to hospital and stayed there for a while - and they tell us its a good...

Dont laugh - my very first attempts at welding?

Think it was due a new chassis????

Sent the bulk head away for shot blasting and came back holey!

Ok then, been slacking on the update front so let me catch up. Got the engine out just before xmas and split it. It needs a new clutch. MORE MONEY AHHHH!

Ok then just a small update. works slow and run out of money so will be slower.lol

Saccy - are you saying that you have the same as me (springs seem to sit forward and at an angle?) even with the engine in? James - Thanks, will stop worrying its all wrong now. Cheers

Ok, If you seen the other thread you will see I have started to build the chassis up. But... 2 things I'm unsure about, the pictures will show what I mean. 1 - My whole front axle seems to be tipping forward. 2 - The spring seats on the axle seem to be too far forward causing the springs to...

Well the chassis' here

Is it still for sale?
