I did the same thing when the same happened to my crank, not as bad as the OP but I just cleaned it up as best as I could and then assembled everything with bearing lock to prevent it moving! Was still going strong 150k later and is the engine that is going to get rebuilt after the fire. I may...

The heating duct end fan shaped piece is different as well, but a new top, new vent covers and new duct end fan shaped piece would be all the part you need to swap them over, you just then need to make up a way to mount it to the bulkhead. Or do as I did for a temporary measure and just use the...

Make ure you post lots of photos. I would agree with the above that it depends on the finish you want to achieve and what your expectations are. there have been some very competent member make some very nice dash pieces from wood on here so I am sure the roof lining is also possible. But for me...

I will say I am probably the same as I do it when I do an oil change so the engine is not cold for that!

They regularly come up second hand, although not cheap, That is where i got mine when i converted my hardtop to a station wagon.

As long as it is within spec and you are changing regularly to the interval (either time or mileage) I am of the opinion brand does not matter and everything else is just a sales technique!

I also recovered the original but I used the original covering rather than replacing and just removed it and reglues it into place. I second the need for a good quality glue. that is what makes it!

Unfortunately they are different. The later models (certainly 300tdi, not sure about 200tdi) had wider vent apertures so the screw spacing is different. and the screw pacing on the bulkhead id what determines which one you need. I had this issue when i swapped to a 300tdi bulkhead!

Am I in the minority where by I do not bother priming or prefilling the filter and never have? There is enough fuel left in the system to start the engine and leave it idling, once idling it will very quickly fill and bleed itself. May occasionally splutter but never enough to die and a minute...

I had a similar issue with my station wagon body (LINK) where the gap had increased. I did ratchet strap it pull it back together but that only took it so far and then needed to space the latched out as well. Although I wasn't happy with it at the time it has been like it ever since and has not...

yes but they will also leave a set of holes in my currently perfect bumper if I Change my mind in the future.

That was a Facebook advert in on of the Land Rover groups but in true Facebook fashion I now cannot find it for the life of me! So unfortunalty I do not know.

Bare galv is Definitly the way to go but the question is whether to fit the bumperettes or leave the bumper as it is. Another the same colour adding weight to the argument that it looks good!

Where did my poll go :vb-headbang: As it has disappeared answers below please rather on the poll that is no longer there!

I have been toying with the idea of fitting the military style front bumperette to my series for a long time. I came across this picture on Facebook market place which is the same colour as mine and it has reignited the question, if I did fit I would be looking at the bare galv finish the same...

It may be a good solvent to Keep things clean but it has very little lubrication properties which is another key thing the diesel fuel does in the injector pump. Hence my use of two stroke oil.

I ran a 60:40 veg oil:diesel mix for years just straight into the tank. But when I was doing that I would get through a fuel filter every 2k miles and a lift pump every 8k miles. I would every so often run a tank of straight diesel with a heavy dose of two stroke oil/atf to preserve the...

Maybe a new lift pump as well, Start cheap and easy before moving to more expensive things

I would be happy with that. If you PM your address I will get a quote for postage.

As is mine, Something grabbed from the scrap pile and butchered to just about fit!
