Ok.It lost oil pressure and I had to keep going, towing a trailer. It didn't do it any favours
Don’t know any around here.
Don’t forget disco engines fit, just change the manifold & gearbox back plate

Ah.
200's are getting harder to find for sensible money now, gone are the days of the £200 Disco1's and proper Defender motors are getting silly

Well that’s even easier.
So you say you lost oil pressure…. As said compression test and see what it is.
Now if you lost too much pressure you would/could have ate the turbo due to lack of oil.you would have heard this as the engine screams it’s last breath….
investigate first… then panic

It runs, it just sounds like a lot of jangly nuts and bolts being smacked around at 750 rpm!!!

I finished repairing my dumb irons today. It was a home fabrication jobbie where I used 3" box section and 80x40x3.5mm rectangular box section.
It's been a bit tricky at times but I think I have made a good enough job for 2 or 3 years until I consider a chassis change.

Your chassis legs looked like mine do…

Finally got a finish I can accept on the door skins, and test hung the near side door.
Bloomin doors.

I've spent more time on my doors than anything else on the landy... They still don't shut right
good luck !

The bulkhead and door were like this when I started so frankly, it’s all a bonus.I've spent more time on my doors than anything else on the landy... They still don't shut right

Have you got a thread showing the work you have done to your doors and bulkhead? It looks like some serious work has been done there.
