I fitted this today i think it can be used as a reasonable deterent, although that was not its sole purpose. To start a landy you need to supply the diesel pump with electric for the stop solenoid and and stick a screw driver across the starter to start it up. Well by fitting a cut off...

Fitted a cut off switch in the battery box

Fitting a cut off switch today

Flooring all back in one piece I have come across another problem, The coolant gauge doesn't read correctly using the daihatsu sender in the head. The landrover one is completely different to the threads in the head and the thermostat housing.

Thanks mate, only a few things left to do now. Wire up the cooling fan, Change all the fluids & filters, Replace the cambelt, Make a panel to cover where i chopped out on the N/s footwell :)

Cooling fan now in place

No not yet, cant wait to try it out, i've only driven the landrover once since i bought it 3 years ago, and that was with the old engine in it.

Sure did!

Rebuilt front end after fitting intercooler. :D

Intercooler mounted correctly with rubber bobbins Pipe runs completed to engine. (I'm going to put another joint in one to allow for engine twist.) Front panel reinstated with horn and bonnet pull connected up. Bash plate and bumper refitted. Grill in place! (Looking good with the...

You can get them on ebay £130, i picked this up second hand but unused for £60. the intercooler is all for show and no go really. lol

Immense! It will be a better than when it left Solihull to begin with! How much has it cost to this stage? Looks great.

Fitted a massive pointless intercooler :)

Intercooler in place, i had to refit the radiator closer to the engine in order to fit the intercooler in front.

More pics of fitting the intercooler. Finished fitting the radiator Drill two holes in the wing for the pipe outlets. test fitting the silicone reducers, (I'm using 3">2" 90 degree silicone reducers. 3 inch is too large really but i had a deal on the intercooler) Test fitting the...

Nice motor! how much did that set you back?

Made some more progress today. Fitted the complete exhaust system I bought a massive intercooler to fit, so i decided to move the radator backwards, the easiest way was to swap the top rad mountings round, which places the rad back the thickness of itself. That was easy enough, then i...
