Got a 3.5 EFI with an autobox and Borg Warner transfer box, all with 36k genuine miles on the clock
May end up having to carb the bugger though!
Seller didn't include the MAF :doh: and theres none on ebay, sellers going to try and find it for next week though, if not it'll be carb time

I saw a dark stain on the tarmac spreading underneath and crawled under with a torch to see if I could see where it was coming from. Gearboxes? No. Fuel pipes? No. Bellhousing? Sump? No. Then I realised that it was rainwater from the light drizzle that had just started. Droplets were creeping along the edge of the bulkhead outrigger and dropping off in the middle. That was a mystery easily solved. I'd not seen it do that before, and I'm very attentive to stains forming underneath.

Bought some new (old) original land rover bulkhead rubber mats.
Ripped off the crazy land rover open cell foam! Seriously what a stupid idea, all it does is soak up water and sit there rusting away the bulkhead.
So all thats gone and replaced with some nice super dense closed cell foam which will not soak up water.
Going to be put back in with some of that heavy duty velcro keep it neat and easy to remove if needed.

Started stripping the paint off the spare door frames. got one half done & decided it's simpler to take em for shotblasting. Dropping em off in the morning. Got a bulkhead to strip but that'll be done with paintstripper & sander.
This is stage 1 in a complete rebuild of front doors & bulkhead.

Call from the garage..beast ready to pick up. Damage...new cv joint, new hd drive flanges and two new front brake pads... £270
fitted my rear shock droppers today and found more holes behind the original shock mount oh well add it to my list of welding for my week off.
now I have the shocks dropped 2" am I at less risk of breaking them if I get some articulation as I have a 2" lift by springs and front +5 shocks but just saving the moolah to get the +5 rear shocks and I have purposely stayed clear of off roading to avoid breaking the standard rear shocks but I'm thinking I should be ok with the droppers as they are now in their normal position

Found some coolant when I removed plug number 4 to check colour
Strange thing is I've not lost any coolant.........and the engine seems to be running cooler now that I've put a proper exhaust on
