Jim Did that and tightened it as you said, Think ill get the engine running for a few hours at revs prior to fitting the gear box

Removed the seat box and floor and lifted the lot out from the top and replace the Exhaust with one from Stevie Parker. The Hardest bit was watching my son crawling underneath to reach all those awkward bolts :)

Hi, For what its worth here is my story. Bought an Ex MOD 90 that had a 2.5 NA in the front, Stripped out the old lump and bolted and welded in a 300 TdI from a 95 discovery to the LT77 2 years ago Did not upgrade the exhaust! Had to replace the gear box as when i was taking up...
