Line isn't pressurised. As the name implies, it vents tank vapours to prevent the tank from pressurising and allows air in to prevent it collapsing as it empties. You can replace it with a rubber/plastic/silicone hose of suitable bore to make a tight fit at the tank connection. I also fitted a...

I haven't been to the doc for a few years. They still seem to have a mask policy in place at my local health centre. He kept it on all the way from there to his house. I guess some people like wearing them.

That's his house a few yards down the road. Almost made it...

This wasn't quite as much fun. Needed a tractor to get me out. I was giving my local doctor a lift home. Shetland NHS have initiated a "resilience plan" and have enlisted the help of the Land Rover Club members to transport medical staff to and from work where required in remote areas.

Shetland has had quite a bit of snow in the last couple of days so I've been out playing in it.

Does the main fuse box have earths to body/chassis/engine? Not familiar with D1 but my old D2 gave me problems with the fuse box/body earth.

There's a trim under the engine?

Unless you're building a trayback/pickup/flatbed. In that case just remove all that unnecessary bodywork.

I have some observations about your clutch and brake lines from my own experience of building Project Disco. Feel free to take or leave them. Brake lines: I deleted the body/chassis flexi hoses and ran the rear brake lines all the way along the top of the chassis rail direct to the ABS block...

Well, I've done the modulator bypass and been for a good thrash and what a difference! It's a completely different animal. Since I finished the rebuild it's always been a bit hesitant when you floor it with occasional lumpiness in the power delivery, which I had always attributed to the turbo...

Ah. Is that installed in the cab permanently somewhere or just there for diagnostic purposes?

Problem solved? Ah, it would seem not. Driving the wife to work this morning I suffered abrupt power loss again. On getting home I did a code read and sure enough, I have an overboost code again, 20-02. It would seem I maybe had more than one problem. I've been doing a few google searches and...

What's that fitting on top of the intake manifold just aft of the EGR delete? Never seen that before.

I chucked it in the back of the Disco I took it off. That was taken away today by it's new owner. I'm sure I have one tucked away somewhere from my old Defender. I'll have to see if I can find it and see what sort of state it's in. Probably similar as the Defender had similar astronomical...

It's a strange one. It was perfectly free when I fitted it but now there are 3 places where it sticks fast. Also, there is a lot of axial play in the spindle so it's probably fubar.

Just thought I'd update this topic and throw out another question. Long story short: the wastegate lever was very sticky and I was unable to free it up so I've taken the turbo off and fitted the original turbo back on. Problem solved. However, I changed the original turbo because it was very...

Spent most of the day wrestling with the exhausts on both cars only to find I can't really use anything from either car from the downpipe backwards. So I've had to bite the bullet and order a new centre section and back box. I'll have to give the wife a lift to work and collect her again every...

The exhaust started blowing and rattling during the week so I needed to take a look at that before carrying on with the other stuff. It's rusted through on the hanger on the entry to the back box. So for now I've cut the back box out and will have a look at the spares car tomorrow to see what's...

When I built my flatbed I had a ton of unused connectors that I just cut off and taped up. I've had no problems.

Whatever you feel comfortable with.
