Fitted my EVRY mod - so that's another 10-20Bhp on demand

Tried a full-fuel mod, that forces the pump to give 100% of it's capacity, but the ECU doesn't like it, and just shuts down :lol:

Rebuilt the starter motor, the contacts had gotten so worn it would take SEVERAL attempts at turning the ignition before it would actually do anything. Now it's first time, every time

And fitted these beauties:

Still got the larger injectors to fit, larger turbo to finish making adaptor plates for, decat to fit.... and no time to do any of it :lol:

You've 'repurposed' the HDC switch to make the engine hunt?

only hunts at idle - when accelerating it's a beast

As if the L Series in standard trim isn't beast enough!

Cleaned the crud from behind the front wheel arch liners on both cars, '02 that goes off road and '06 that doesn't. Did the rears a few months ago and they were just as bad.

Not directly work on the Hippo... but started the process of reclaiming it's (soon to be fitted) uprated turbo from my Rover 45

Nice!..very african safari camel trophy strapping the jerry cans to the roof ish.

Well, finally drilled all the holes in the chassis and placed the explosives. Then wired up the detonator distribution box.

Just a matter of waiting for the Beethoven exploder unit and rolling out the main electrical line.

Then its off to waitrose for some decent wine and steak for the barbie, invite a few friends around, and happy times having a press the button party!.

All are welcome to the bits and pieces (if they survive the heat of re-entry)

Oh dear, tried to fit my new replacement radiator today. LRD have sent the wrong part! The rad' is about 50mm to tall! B#*@&r.

timster66 · Apr 7, 2015

Bought and fitted set of 4 window wind deflectors
And bought a set of 16" alloys, in the process of refurbing them (satin black) and then looking to stick some all terrain tyres on them, thinking of Event ML 698s, 215/65/16

NeedleNose, like that roof rack mate, very nice!!!

NeedleNose · Apr 7, 2015

Thanks guys, thinking of extending it over the sunroof but need to find a local pipe bender.

htr · Apr 9, 2015

Finally, changed the IRD & diff oils. Ordered a replacement radiator from UK, company sent the wrong one! I can say with no doubt that the V6 rad' is taller than the 4 cyl' rad by about 55mm
