Finally fitted the Allisport full width radiator. Fitted the full intercooler a few months back so the radiator needed an upgrade too. Just need some coolant now.....

Took it for its first real drive since I fitted the Disco 200tdi. Such a difference after the 19J.

Bit of a funny story... it's been purchased by the young Neice for junior trials.
she wanted a new project & at 13 she can now drive. Few mods need to be done like a sliding seat.
Bet when it get to its new home the older nephew will want to race it as it's up to specs.

Now waiting for a phone call to arrange spanner/quality time with her.

Getting there, I found that the alternator had some bad wiring and a roll pin keeping it attached to the bracket
It's a 70A one that is not standard. All fixed and back on with correctly tensioned belts

Just done a gearbox oil and filter change - all the fixing came undone a treat apart from the filter nut. Had to use a breaker bar to get it going and in the process knocked the oil catch pan everywhere . Anyroad the job is done now and my drive has been power washed again

I also fitted the new rubber hub cap and cleaned away all the grease from the rim.
