Have not touched anything for a couple of weeks dur to a Family Crisis, but finally got my Drivers door just about right tonight, so will go ahead and get the rest of the bolts round the sides and along windscreen in and nipped up. ready for the next stage, not sure what the next stage is yet but will decide as I go along.
In the mean time I've Unintentionally got myself another Project and member of my team up the Garage.

Looks good. Those PAS pipes should be clipped to the front chassis crossmember at the solid section, if they hang loose like that they’ll vibrate and fracture over time.

Yes Mate One of them fits, the other I need to take somewhere to get it extended, had to extend most of the hoses and pipes to fit this Conversion.

Thanks Mate been on nearly 2 years+1 for looking good - well done for your time and effort - looking forward to see some more progress
now, hoping to get it done for Summer
I see you have a compression coupler on your oil cooler pipe, might I be so bold as to ask why?

It's a Disco 300tdi conversion mate, the engine sits about 6 inches further back so most pipes and hoses have to be made longer.
Oh I see, it's just I had to use one a few weeks back due to the randomness of Land Rover parts and numbers lolz the oil thermostat housing has two types but with the same part number and the cooler pipes have two different ends that go into the radiator, proper ball ache, mine is a cut and shut pipe to marry the fittings

I was going to take my Origional pipes to a local hydrolics place to get extended, but a mate had these ones already done so bought them.Oh I see, it's just I had to use one a few weeks back due to the randomness of Land Rover parts and numbers lolz the oil thermostat housing has two types but with the same part number and the cooler pipes have two different ends that go into the radiator, proper ball ache, mine is a cut and shut pipe to marry the fittings
I am likely to end up doing an oil cooler conversion in the future to delete it out of the radiator and I'll get HypeHose to make me up new pipes.
I did see these.
I can make the pipes how ever I want to suit my needs.

We got a bit more done these last couple of weeks. when I say We theres only me and the Dog, but all she does is keep a look out for rats then sit in front of the fire all day.
Anyway got my power steering pipes altered to fit now they are fixed along the front crossmember. finally got Rad lowered to fit, most of pipe work lengthened to make fit for this conversion. Fitted new sills. Gonna start fitting heater and water bottles when I figure out exactly where they go. Need to see some pics of other 300tdi conversions.

Just a little Update, Finally got engine running after a few problems, from my other posts, but solved them one by one with help frim Members on here as always, couldn't do this without them.
Just need Air filter housing and washer bottle now to finish engine bay off, then finding best place to put them on this Conversion. Even took it out for a ride yesterday, glad I didn't film Reversing back in as I knocked my sons Bike over , good job he wasn't there to see it
Mate brought me a front grill, something I never had so fitted that too, looking the part now.

Hope Everyone is Safe and Well
Got a bit more time now due to having no work, and no money but getting on with what Ive got. Been doing a bit work on the inside, sound proofing stuff, its called Hydrocel not sure if it will work but looks good.
Started carpet in the Cab, not very neat but its not show truck,
Got a Nice Grill and Headlight surrounds given today. LRX Should look nice when fitted.
