Nice tutorial here from yrm https://yrmit.co.uk/workshops/land-rover-defender-90-series-swb-rear-tub-floor-assembly/ I bonded mine originally to a new floor while off the vehicle , gives you better access to both sides

I like the space available with the di and also keeping to a more original look so I kept a smaller battery and air filter under bonnet, the 200 starts first turn with 10 secs heater plugs so a 65amp battery will do it, also I had a second fuel...

Anything catching on prop as you driving , does it increase with revs or speed

Did you get any air out during bleeding, Have you checked heater plugs working and stop solenoid if it has one

Welcome did you cut new seats where injector/washers seal

What is the heat out of cabin vents like, have you got a series 3 sender to match the S3 gauge Could take the thermostat out , was it in right way

Welcome. Top hose should be hotter than the bottom hose, it shows the rad is working. Do you have a fan, is the heater core blocked, air lock maybe. Is it actually getting hot or is it just the temp gauge telling you it's hot?

Britain's finest REME camouflaged my door seals, twice.

Hi all so far so good 🤞🤞🤞👍👍👍

I have test run engines mounted to nothing just hanging suspended form a crane. So mounted to the chassis and then Using the crane to take the weight and keep level will Be no problem at all.

Engines usually sit on the sump when on the ground so we’ll strong enough to be used with mountings, some 3/4 ply or short plank with jack or axle stand if clearance ok underneath would be fine

It also has to engage properly at the speedo end

Been to two post offices in last week to get mine tax exempt , both said they can’t find historic tax on the screen, after about 5mins exasperated I said I know why it’s not working ….. it’s because the post office computer systems are not very...

I had a gear missing before too. A bolt came out inside the gearbox, it came out when draining the oil. The bolt tightens a clamp inside, its been so long at least that's what I think happened in my case. I could look up the proper name tomorrow...

Was a quick paint job even the door seals were painted!

There was just a hair of space behind what was the cone. I was able to take a solid measure, it matched Wikipedia's entry. I'll report back when machinist is done. (lathe I assume) Edit: 04-12-24, I have run out of freetime, pinion is still at...

You have not yet removed the old inner race, it is where the race sits you have to measure. If it is as I think the case that the race spun and friction welded itself to the shaft there will be "fit" issues. This may have removed some of the...

Think the bearing race be really hard need a good bit in lathe , nice if he had a machine to grind it off

Might have been mentioned before! Still odd that it would make it stall though, hope it's fixed.

All the Britpart lift pumps we have fitted leak through the thread for the inlet and outlet pipes, I wrap the threads in ptfe tape (rightly or wrongly)

Hi everyone first of all i want to thank everyone who has been helping me out with my problem I have finally found the problem 🙄I replaced all of the pipe work still had air coming in from some where. I put a small rap of ptfe tape on the inlet...
