One pad on each stool (for want of a better word?!)

I’ve got that bar ripped out at the moment with the pads underneath - I’ll put a picture up tomorrow. They push fit to the underside of the box beam

Those HD drive members must be good too! You would’ve thought that would’ve gone before the shaft

You were abusing that thing weren’t you 😂😂😂 How the fcuk have you managed that. They OE shafts?!

Oh and 2 on light boxes!

It’s a rubber pad for your boot floor I think but if you zoom out I can tell 👍🏻 Body mounts are 2x in engine bay, 2 x front sill, 2 rear sill, 2 rear crossmember

Test fit

Just shout if unsure mate. No pro but I’ve gutted one before and got mine in bits now. I’ll update the thread with the bits that need ticking off so it helps others also 👍🏻

Ah perfect, thanks!

This one https://yrmit.co.uk/product/rear-cross-member-floor-support-lr-discovery-1/ @K2tnt You can measure the spot welded brackets from your existing one, chop the lot out, drill the bracket spot welds out then weld them back on to your new...

You need the z piece mate

Oh that’s a winner then!!

Get what you pay for….

Hello all, First time landy owner here so apologies if i ask the obvious questions, so please go easy 🤣! Bought and collected a 1989 Defender 90 with a 200tdi engine at the weekend as a on going project! Already changed the headlight and tinted...

And because dirty grinding and drilling jobs get laborious, I finished a b pillar off. Just needs some sealer at the bottom. Lanoguard grease sandwich between the body, shims and brackets

Trying to remove the z piece at rear half intact just so I have reference for the trim clips. Time to get bracing now.

Contemplating buying 2 new rear tubs. Bloody expensive but the amount of plate and patches hurts my eyes. I’d have to strip it all back and cut back to patch more. There’s repairs required to the pillars and I also need to pull the triangle floor...

Don’t know if of interest or not, but people may find use in the routine I use for areas like chassis where rust is present but not terminal. Step one - Clean with degreaser. I use screwfix no nonsense. It’s excellent and doesn’t burn through...

Today’s work involved removing what was left of the floor. Using this as an opportunity to remove and sort the fuel sedimented which was seized up. I also ended up removing the seat clasp boxes either side as the wheel arches are rusty and will...

Always wanted a spirit r. Not a chance now 😂. Sure I had apexi power fc on something!!

Morning mate, will likely be MS I think. More to try and make it reliable and get the timing a bit more tuned in. I’ll also be looking to add a more aggressive cam, manifolds etc and hopefully I can map to suit this. Nigel - mr megasquirt...

If its the intank pump fitting the tank I think they are the same fitting too. If you have the wires in the loom you mayalso have a spare space in the fuse box for a fuse and relay? Basically, anything past the 3.9 does away with the dizzy. the...

I’ll have a look mate. I was thinking same as Phil. Your correct, 300 does just have sender but I think in tank pump is same thread as sender. Will soon find out. The loom looks identical but I’ve got a full v8 loom on way from an ES so tempted...

Cheers. Loads of reading/learning to do. @marjon mentioned trigger wheel etc which all needs to be considered. I’m not near ready to drop in engine yet but working at it each week and won’t be long until I need to look at wiring. It sounds like...

Iv been past RPI near Norwich twice this week & saw some nice classics RR outside with big 3” exhaust pipes. The SIL is running megasquirt on the forward control. This was out on the road the other week,says safer to fix than flapper/hotwire...

Yeah have to send exchange as they don’t keep them in stock now. 8-12 weeks turnaround I think she said. I’m just going to have a bottom end from them and build myself as built petrol engines before. Albeit with 4 less cylinders. Seems quite...

Happy to be advised - half the reason I log this all is to get your opinions! Tangle… yes…. We had to do a big of a trig exercise with the winch to get the disco out my gates. Loom was dangling in bay. Stupid I know. I was more concerned about...

Welding on new mounts to chassis - yrm do them I think?! It will be v8 bellhousing with upgraded TC. I could initially run Hotwire but it just seems to make sense to megasquirt from beginning? The megasquirt isn’t a drop compared to turners cost.

Well this is the damage that I caused and has tipped the decision for the vehicles heart. As per my other thread I’ve been umming and arring on to v8 or not but I’ve just bought a v8 ES auto loom. Need to pop Dave an email to confirm but my zf...

All the parts are available, but there is lots to think about. The gearbox will need the V8 belhousing and possible a different input shaft. Think it will put up with the 4.0 thor. Flywheel and clutch setups are in use on some vechile (as above...
