I have driven down to and around Morocco twice which includes the 1500miles trip to Algeciras to get the ferry. I did this in my 200tdi 110, so yours will be far more comfortable at motorway speeds than mine was as a starting point. I would follow the advice of the above who are more...

You would be amazed what a lick of paint can do. The drivers wing I fitted during my rebuild after the fire (original melted) was very much a farmers wing and I knocked the dents out as best as I could and then painted it and fitted. It look worse in the pictures than in reality, is definitely...

I have done a few wings, It depends on the finish you are going for as to if it is worth the effort. In a show room truck then it is not work the effort as unless you have some serious skills, you will be riveting back together all the spotwelds you have drilled out. it also depends how far you...

Are you talking about the box, mounted to the chassis, or the pump mounted to the engine? Either way @Anaconda advice of being fairly logical when you look at is is correct. For both you start by removing the pipe work. For the pump, it is then remove the belts, and unbolt the pump from the...

Depends what generation, I thought they liked to split in half where the water runs down between the cab and the bed and rusts the chassis away at that point :eek:

This one ^^ If it is a discovery tdi in a pre tdi “defender” the. The gauge will read in the red hot at normal operating temperature. You used to Get conversion sender to match to the gauge as suggested above from Steve Parker’s. I am sure someone else will be making them as well. If not it’s...

Even if it is a non structural one it will Still leave the bolt Holes in body work. Things like that once fitted are best left fitted as they take a huge amount of work to remove and put back original otherwise. Also if it is a proper to the chassis job it potentially needs a lot of body work...

Potentially, Throw up some photos of what you have fitted currently and people will be able to comment on if i looks the same as a standard 300tdi version. I have just had the issue with brake calliper gallery seals. For a defender land rover only list the complete calliper part number, but for...

I think you should be fine with any 300tdi intercooler, I believe they are all the same. However I am not an expert in correct, I am more along the lines of what works, I have an aftermarket 300tdi intercooler fitted to my 200tdi engine. The only difference is the orientation of the pipes coming...

LINK try this one, is just a link to Gloucestershire rights of way online map which does not seem to show them as anything hence assuming they were UCR which fits with @jamesDiscoTD5 's comments Some of them you can streetview the length of and that seems to fit with what I would expect from a...

This is the article I was looking at: LINK Looking on google and the Gloucestershire council rights of way map (LINK) I think these are unclassified country roads. Nothing listed on the rights of way for map anything and some of them you can street view. With life getting in the way it has...

I will try that. But I might be beyond that as the new seals only Worked for about a month and the. It leaked worse than before I changed them. It can’t make things worse. And at the current rate will be out he system in 1000miles!

I have found an article from a motorcycle magazine with a set of track near bourton on the water. So will have a look at those as are local enough to me to pop down for a couple Of hours. But also happier with further south nothing is set yet. Just in the very beginning stages.

The above form @Anaconda was my experience of glass and trailwise a few years ago so let my membership lapse. Everything on trailwise there seemed to be a good 5-10 years out of date so stopped renewing. Has this now changed and and people are active on there updating routes and comments etc? I...

I did that with an old one I had and it now leaks worse than before hence looking for a replacement. it works well enough, runs a total loss hydraulic system :rolleyes:

Where did you purchase your good steering box from? I am still in need of a replacement. I have a spare on the bench to exchange so vehicle would not be off the road in my case.

I used neoprene tape when I rebuilt the heater box. quick question for this application what do you want non-setting? would silicone gasket not do the same job and not bee much more difficult to remove in the future should it be needed?

Have prices come down or is the one linked above a real bargain? When I was looking before I went to Morocco roof tents even second hand were over £1k so I went with a drop down tent instead that clips to the roof rack and then sits on the floor (so no poles) as that as a more civilised price

Which as mentioned above is what I used on mine when I had the same happen.

Well tomorrow’s task is to clean it all up and see what I can spot. And also rummage through my spares as I may have a spare neck in the shed.
