Pics when it happens!Booked it in for a chassis replacement.
Gone for a Marslands galvanised one.
It groaned and popped off - 2min job! Fab gadget….One of those worked on my four spoke which hadn't been taken off in years and was very seized.
Lots of release spray beforehand and tighten the bolts on each side slowly and evenly until seated flush then slowly tighten the big bolt. Mine groaned as I tightened it and looked like it might bend the bar but then it suddenly released.
I cleaned the threads and smeared some grease on before replacing the wheel; the securing nut should be tight, doesn't have to be hernia tight.
couldn't find Defender 200tdi intercooler pipes so bought new from JLR Heratage (or whoever)
top intercooler metal pipe & fuel return pipe from 200tdi type filter to fuel tank, the engine I have is from a lwb and we have a Ninety - so the fuel pipe is a touch long
it's only money

Think big brown to livethe Ninety has no glowplug relay & relies on a 'half' position on the ignition switch, I'm liking poshness so wanted a timed glowplug circuit and remembered something from the murky past about a D1 200tdi glowplug relay & underbonnet loom someware in the garage
took a few days thinking & diggin but found the bastard
now to decipher the loom diagrams for the 4 smaller wires (6 pin relay) then decide on where it'll live underbonnet etc.
more faffin to follow.

Think big brown to live
Yellow/black glow plugs
Red/white ignition switch
Black earth
1 of the others will light the glow plug light.
what colour are we left with?
The pigeon ended up in several parts and the roof of the Landy was a mess!
I can’t use the term I’d like to or I’d be banned!Picasso or Pollock styled?

Looking good.Yay - new indicator switch fitted, can now signal to all comers - pedestrians, horses, toads, martians, cyclists, whatever….
Strapped the repainted A Bar back on with some better driving lamps to spot Zeppelins with….

Decided against tackling the bulkhead?Timing case and water pump in place. Lots of RTV as the surfaces are rough.... Yes I should have cleaned everything but life is too short lol
