The point being the engine inherited with the sad old 109 was leaking oil out of every orifice, in fact the engine bay looked like the drilling floor on an oil rig. No wonder there isn’t any sign of rust. Compounded by the fan blowing liquid oil...

The rebuild has started. HV and LV junction boxes removed Dumped in a box I was never happy with the previous design that kinda evolved as I learned more about what I needed. I had LV components in the HV JB which is an obvious no no, and...

I wouldn't mind so much but the charging timer was only installed a couple of months ago. :( At least it helps me remember how I installed everything in the first place. I spent a few hours rebuilding the HV junction box so it's almost complete...

Just a thought .. AC isn't efficient in a car unless the window are kept closed, so are you going to benefit from it in a rag-top LR ?

Wow, I really like the blue. I thought maybe it was to match the engine color or the body color. I'm really going to think about the finish produce...be traditional or more creative. Thanks to all

I had a tin of yellow left from painting a tractor PTO bar. So mine is yellow.

Me too :D You'd need a ramp unless it was a dog on a rope and you could just sling it in ....

Hugs to @DanClarke & family.

Hmmm, of course they did! Someone clearly having second thoughts, of they've told the wife and she said not a chance :D

@dag019 Just having visions of a dog in a cage on the roof rack… Ours go to sleep when out in classic runs

Correct. 4psi is the max pressure the pump can make against a dead head. It ticks away for a few seconds just before starting the engine then stops. I never hear it when the engines running. Makes bleeding the fuel system a doddle too. I fit 1/8"...

I gave up with them years ago. I use a facet 4psi pump, hole in the block capped off.

Evening all, Just a quick post to say I'm just back from a road test in the 109 since installing my 200 tdi conversion, and wow, what a difference it makes. I know that seems a bit obvious, but it's just so much more usable in every way. I...

Have you got any landrover shops near you that you can walk into & check part numbers ? Had a Quick Look & nothing found. (Only the rally car kits) What part of the country are you?

To get DVLA information register as a car park owner. You'll get details no bother.

Oh no! Mine had a couple of small bits in the same places, seems like a common place to start rusting through. For me it went from investigating why there was a circular plate screwed onto the crossmember, to cutting some holes, buying a new...

Thought I’d sand down a couple of spots to give the rear a lick of paint and uncovered a rust collection. Bugger.

Started at £4500, minimum “buy now” price allowed by eBay was £5600, someone grabbed it. They don’t know this yet but I found some more bits & pieces in the garage today I’m throwing in! I did say it came with some spares!

Traffic Circle if you don't mind. They do have them, but not very many. ;)

Morning All. :D Another scorcher for us I think. :) Might go out on the trike later. Have a great day. :D

Tis already hot out there. Fill up yer burd baffs.

Mornin Warm and sunny Watered me plants early Cleaning Freelander boot area today, get it nice for the road trip, noticed a handy 12v socket in there for me kettle :p Chinese shooting stick arrived this morning, better quality than expected :)...

...took the Mini out for a blatt round the town, no problems noticed. Will check the plugs later. Also took the trike out and did a 10 mile loop around Canvey Island in the sunshine. :D That's twice in just few days. :)

Knee a bit better then Dan? 👨‍⚕️

Dunt the pedalling hurt your legs after a couple of miles?

Yes, just a little. As long as I don't go crazy with the PUSH effort it seems to cope. :) Weird seeing as one day last week I could not walk up or down the stairs on the right leg. As the trike is e-assist I am not having to do all the work I...

The e-assist is a big help without it I doubt that the cycling would be possible. But, I do my best to keep the e-assist level low enough that I am also putting effort into the system against the resistance so that my muscles get a bit of work to...

@Matt Poiner Had a Quick Look for you. Like mine & comes with the ends to connect pipe onto

You will regret only doing a section, cut it all off & do it properly. There is more prep than welding.
