Is that leak on your wastegate actuator inlet?

Where are you measuring the pressure from then?

Cheers

Leak? Hefty split! Touched it and it fell off!

Yeah was one of the lines that runs the the bleed valve, the provent pipe had worn thru it and i hadnt noticed. Replaced all vac pipes about an hour a go just incase. Badly routed atm but ill sort it properly the weekend.

Boost pressure comes from a barb in the EGR blank. Closer to the inlet the better for a more accurate boost reading.

Long day today.

New short body double din head unit installed. This one fits much better and the unit is overall much better, android auto is a huge bonus too.

Also sorted out the dodgy wiring behind the dash. Now have an "earth bank" and a "switched live bank" to wire various things into as and when I need to. No more loose connections!

Also replaced all the hinges, which was damn lucky as 3 of them had snapped in half

I was one pot hole away from loosing a door!

Paint is pretty good however already chipped in some areas as suspected. Not sure what im doing wrong...

Installed the "Bomb Proof" hinge guards, should slow scum down should they want me old doors

pretty easy to fit but the bolts do end up being a little short I would advise buying some bolts at least 15mm longer than standard.

Got the spotlights in! Really happy with these, rather hard to actually get hold of but they are quality and damn bright. However larger than originally stated so winch fitting may be a tad difficult. May have to mod the a bar again.

Noticed the rocker gasket was leaking so thats been changed as well.

Now got to start packing for LRO (convince Shabs to build me a Duraspec Lt230

) then unpack and re pack for LRP!!

Hopefully going to give it s proper clean and polish before LRO, not been cleaned in months!!

Almost hard to believe it looked like this 2 years ago!

New halfords fridge is a perfect fit in place of the rear seats!

Basically the set up for spain, despite the size of the landy there isnt a huge amount of space! Especially when travelling with to passengers + kit for 8 days.

Leaves a little more space in the back for who ever is in the rear at the time.

Usually I stack everything on the boot lid but trying to minimize that to make loading/unloading as quick and easy as possible.

Hopefully coolbox won't fall over like on yer yootoob video

Looking good, do you not worry about cooling with the lights blocking the rad?

Cheers

Hahahahaha forgot to strap it down that time

Halfords fridge is good tho, £85, temp control, good cooling power, plus comes with both 12v socket and 240v.

Yeah still on offer then? Saw em the other week but wasn't too impressed with the internal size. Well the missus wasn't so I didn't bother looking, worth a punt for camping then?

What is the amp draw on one of them? I had a quick look on the box in Halfords, but could not see it written on them.

I suspect they sit a bit further away from grille than it looks in pics as well.
