didnt..obviously...as you are right..and i knew this..



ANYWAY..bloody engine bay starting to get cramed again...was gonna be a simple build..lol!!

pic only shows a wee bit of it...

 
Yep, looks great!

Did get a bit worried when I read "bloody engine" as I thought, oh f**k whats wrong now. But phew, just a bit of clutter thats all.
 
Looks tidy enough to me in there :)

What have you done for a throttle body?

tb is the stock gems, upside down with coolent heater removed. then painted crinkle black..it is in pic but hard to see..
i cut the plenum chamber off it, made an adapter that bolts onto it (with bloody small m3 bolts and silicon and gasket).you can clearly see the adapter, it is part of rhe s pipe going to s/c inlet..

have cut out the 4.6 lr logo from plenum, that is polished now and will be a tailgate emblum...(or however you spell emblum..lol)..would have cut out the land rover logo bit too, but didnt occur to me before weighing in me scrap pooh bits..dooh
 
lpg vaporisr in (ish) nice big prins..picked up lpg tank this eve..£10.50...dont you love ebay!

power steering/hydroboost oil cooler in too..



GRIFFMAN..note bonnet louvers!



will be making bracket using tb heater bolt holes to hold it steady..see above..

oil coolers..



QUESTION...on p38 intake manifold..this little coolent pipe goes to tb heater..from tb to where??

i ask cos wondering if i ought to just bung it up, or route to rad??


question..on p38..where does autobox filler/dipstick tube mount to?? see below..thanks

The little pipe on the manifold is a hot water bleed circuit, it goes to TB heater and then to top of rad, there are 2 small pipes on rad on Efi motors, the other small pipe goes to header tank I think

Anyway with tb heat delete just connect direct to rad :)

Don't know about auto box I'm afraid

kool, thats what i had hoped..(but not having removed engine was not sure, and incorrect coolent plumbing even iddy little pipes can cause lots of problems, ie on our komatsu excavators, if the heater pipe gets blocked the engine overheats and goes pop!)
 
more..ebay tank insitu, but not mounted etc..



i do like the bmw seats..



thinking of mounting gearbox manual/sport/eco switch here..will be same as coloum switch..

..NOTE that choc block will be going now i have seen it!!

engine bay starting to get busy..




looking for this..i need the lever, its cable handbrake mechanism from disco or rrc using lt230

 
I think I have that mechanism zen

Been ages since I looked in my stores but I did have one

Might have weighed it in

Will check

All 200tdi disco used that linkage
 
thanks...its just the lever and pins i need, have the bracket, though whole thing would be just as good..

regards
