Painted the rims today. Also tried to replace the stupid Lucas diff switch. What a piece of cheap junk. Still doesn’t work and now I have two broken switches. Bah.

starting to fill the 'ole...

it starts, runs and drives foreward / reverse so thats a win?





also....

F'kin Landrovah.

engine in BUT why the differences between 2.5D Ninety & 200tdi?

bought (@ great expense!) a genuine LR 200tdi fuel return pipe (from IP to tank), fits the IP BUT different thread on the tank:mad::mad::mad:

W-Anchor.

the 200tdi engine loom plugs into the 2.5d Ninety's main loom, no dice with the alternator / charge light on dashboard (was previously tested when running the engine on the floor:rolleyes:)

turbo heatshield 'touches' the bonnet (military jobbie with strengtheners for spare-wheel if that matters?) - sorta wondered about this and looked for one @ Newbury but....

theres more, like fitting pas....

but thats another rant;)

I see you now have power steering ;)
 
YUP:cool:

one-hand light steering now:D

opposed to two-handed struggling:eek:

but I'm struggling to fit the metal pipework neatly across the front crossmember - whatever I do looks messy & I dont want them rubbinhg or fracturing:(

On mine there’s two W shaped clips, one each side, that clamp the two metal pipes to the back of the front x-member. It would be part 13 in this diagram.

Rich. (fighting ocd or stupidity with Offender pas pipework:D:D:D)
If you want I can take pictures of the factory routing tomorrow. I’m pretty sure the larger pipe is on the top.

Down nothing to it again….(did do some work on the S1 today though)
Drove it for 40 miles,emptied the back of rubbish at the tip. Mrs then drive it home.

looked through a catalogue at a rear winch set up…. Then realised I have some brackets in the way:mad:. Back to the drawing board.
