    Buying Britpart over the counter!

    Yeah i did, but couldn't find anyone who stocked the parts without having to order them - so slightly different. Thats whats the forums for right sharing Knowledge. Agreed both are boring and similar though - kieth Gott in Alton have the parts stocked on the shelf - so I think I'm sorted.

    Buying Britpart over the counter!

    They 100% do a standard height lift set. Google it. I am after 4 x gas dampers and 4 x coils for a 110. The Britpart kit is about £200 but Kieth Gott in Hampshire have just offered me a terrafirma setup for £220.

    Britpart Suspension Kit Tomorrow!

    Hi all, Happy New year! I am in the UK back from Kenya for Christmas - flying back on Sunday and have just got a call from my partner saying after a trip to the mechanic (with out telling me! Sneaky!) the prognosis is new shocks and springs all round. The prices here are a whole lot...

    huffi's slooow rebuild

    WoooooHooooo shes not overheating anymore *touch wood*. Water problem was due to me not tightening one of the pipes (woops) but even after that was fixed still over heating. After a lot or trial and error. It turns out that over a certain RPM the fan stops increasing in speed/slows and thus the...

    My New Project - 1991 Defender 110 200Tdi

    So jealous, nearly finished my project and bought it as a pile of SH*t! You shouldnt need new doors if you can do a bit of welding. Save you a couple on hundred quid that way. Good luck.

    huffi's slooow rebuild

    Well - I went out in the light this morning to check the coolant level, seemed ok, a little low but nothing drastic, turn the engine on chugged away fine. Removed the water pipe leaving the head - NO WATER! So I imagine my recently checked water pump has given out? I only drove about 5 miles...

    huffi's slooow rebuild

    Well I had a new head put in last weekend, so new head gasket also. So that cant be the problem. Leak possibly, and water pump has been checked and apparently is working fine. Bit of a ball ache after the money it cost to have the head replaced still not to be working!

    huffi's slooow rebuild

    Oh I know what you mean, I have had that off today while pouring into the expansion tank. I'll have a good feel of the rad tomorrow then once its been running, I just presumed it was air because of the noise it was making and then the sudden drop from full to almost empty - sounded like...

    huffi's slooow rebuild

    not checked if the rad is hot all over, but I had it serviced/cleaned a week ago and its meant to be fine. Its a 300tdi yeah. Sorry if im being an idiot but what do you mean by ' just filling with bung on thermostat housing out is enough' What bung?!!

    huffi's slooow rebuild

    Little Update... did the hill trick and also bled the rad again. Seemed to have removed all the air. BUT I just drove home from the pub (5 min drive max) - the last bit of my road is a bit dogey so I put my footdown as theres been a few car jackings recently. I get home and switch the engine off...

    huffi's slooow rebuild

    Will do the fan test now. Have also got a new gauge/sensor. And yesterday I jacked the car up and bled her, defiantly a few air bubbles leaving that where not there before, drove about 60k with no overheating, but that was tested with my finger in the coolant as the old gauge was not working...

    huffi's slooow rebuild

    So I have fitted another recon head, and shes running fine, but HOT! The temp gaguge stays below cold for the first 10 mins of driving then pops to about 60% then (after any little hill) goes to about 85% on the gauge. I am going to replace the gauge today and see if that makes a difference -...

    Mechanic looked at it today and said its warped or bent or something and that we cant skim it as its been done before. Bit too deep in the engine for me to understanding, meeting him in 20 mins to get a better understanding! Dr. Evil do you know who - I forget theres a classified - I'll have...
