Bringing this up to date is the last of the pictures. I did sort of fall at the last fence with this. The Bulkhead was a great fit and it all went back together as well as it was before. Problem started with fitting the bonnet which was now touching the wing at the osr??!! I did have the...

Hello all Having just replaced the Bulkhead on My 97 Defender 300 TDI I though I would post up the original here. As far as I can tell it has not been patched or repaired (can't see any signs of repairs) It is as the pictures show It would need 2 complete footboxes and the join at the top of...

Well it's back on the road and, sadly it looks the same as it did before I started.... However I do feel much more confident about next months MOT. Now that I'm allowed. Ido have some Rusty Tat to sell on, so check out the for sale section..... More soon

Day 12...... It'a a grind this. Would be great if it were just `re-assembly is the reverse of dis-assembly' but of course it isn't. Every bit that came off has to be examined, assessed, replaced or worse still dismantled, de-rusted, Painted and re-assembled then fitted. This is why I did it...

Are you using a gearbox oil with Graphite additives?? I ask, as I usually stay away from super low anti-friction additives, as they don't do the Synchros any favours. Not a Criticism, just a curious Lad.... If it was the Transfer box you were talking about then please ignore me. I'll send my...

I had a Quick look on eBay and https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313619776666?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=MPeFTQetTc-&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=eF-57JFnS1m&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY is close

I found that one in the World's Dustbin (Ebay) I was pleasantly surprised with it, but it is a tight squeeze.

I am Slowly fitting parts back on. I need to get the bulkhead /windscreen surround panel joint finalised with new blocks, then I can trial fit the doors to check the alignment, once that is done I can tighten up all the mountings, remove the doors and put the dash/wiring harness together, along...

The Glow plugs are a stand alone option on this Landy. They're not connected to anything, so that's the wire issue sorted thanks Guys. Think it's been like this since I got it, one of it's more endearing features is that it starts on the first turn cold without heater plugs, like all good 300tdi...

Thanks Man. I'll check that in the morning, someone has been at the wiring on this at the rear and down the camshaft side of the engine

Day 3 I have Broken my Landy Good news is that it's time to put it together... I have found a Broken Wire though it's Black/Yellow, heavy Gauge and appears to have been a ring terminal - Some kind of Earth ?? Any Help gratefully recieved. The only thing it is close to in the loom is...

Day 2 Less fun, reasonable progress. Just got to take the steering lock off and remove the column and clutch pipe. After that I need to remove the sills and main bolts and it should be ready to remove. I need to order a few bits as well, then clean up and refurb a few bits, and so on and...

Started Yesterday 10am-5pm trying to pace myself... That was the easy bit I suppose, a lot of prep had been done freeing off bolts etc... More Soon

Nightmare trying to dodge the showers, but it's done. It turned out better than expected. I could have filled some of the marks, but once you start that, there's no end and It still won't look right when finished. Going to start it next week Wish me Luck....

Well it was forecast for Ok weather today, so I got up and got on with it. I went over the whole Bulkhead with a Scotchbrite and it was amazing the amount of Grey dust it produced. Got it all etched and left for a couple hours to dry. Used Stonechip on the higher impact front and lower front...

It is a proper mordant solution T Wash I am using, there is a slight colour change when you apply it, but it does not go black, however the surface goes from a glossy waxy feeling to a thousand grit wet n dry feeling, which proves the surface has been etched. I found when I used it on my new...

It came from SP panels. It looks good but there was a fair bit of excess Galv to be cleaned out, especially on the square holes. After T wash the surface feels matt, so it has etched the surface, but only a little colour change.

Been Busy Working on the Renault Gearbox, on to final assembly and working out a gear linkage. Everything to the left of the bearing plate is a 1960's design, everything to the right and the guts is a 1970's design. One of a few different hybrids I make. Today this arrived Spent a soul...

When I'm not Fighting with the Landy, I'm usually found meddling with old Rear Engined Renaults. This is what you might call my Speciality What you see here is a 4 speed Renault 8 case, Actually a Spanish FASA Renault A110 case which has been opened out to take all the internals from a Mk1...
