I would leave pump on for now , if you rotate crank until all the timing marks line up ,then you can insert the locking tool in pump then release the tensioner wheel to remove belt , then you can unbolt pistons and push them out top of block with...

I ended up grinding the bolt heads off, there was about 5mm bolt to get hold of with mole grips and surprisingly they came out easy.

Cheers Dag, I will have a gander at bolt on bits. I personally am not a fan of the clear either, original or smoked are my preferred choice.

It Passed, only 1 advisory , it has an oil leak.......dont they all

You can never have enough projects.. It’s just finding the time to do them all..

Cheers Phil - he did ask. I will wait and give him first refusal as I know he’s into a project

@Russell 1 Will this motor be good for you??

I use UNF/UNC and metric pitch gauges as well as micrometer to ascertain thread types along with a ZEUS book most useful could also none a bsf

Is it a Boss, very nice indeed.

I should have left a gap between 'every' and 'one' there perhaps! 😁

All the rear lights on the landrover are LEDs Don’t get smoked ones. Just get standard type.

Keep the rectangular fog lights, looks better on an older defender in my opinion. I got my RDX ones from bolt on bits on ebay. They definitely do the clear lenses (I am also not a fan of them, keep it original looking) so there may well be...

The dowel issue is when you remove the cylinder head (he only removed the rocker cover) and Is also a subject of debate as to if to change so be cautious. You need to search for a Land Rover manual online loads of free 1s out there for download...

I fitted Rdx kit as well. Changed the side repeater to TD5 style( they do a fitting adapter) Needed the Rdx dash tell tale light for the system to work Also change the rear fog & reverse light to the normal rectangle style from britpart. These...

When she finds out how much you’re spending on it… 😬

Don’t dig a pit… to easy for the mrs to make you disappear

Dig a pit - or install a Four post lift 😱

I've reluctantly started to give Leylandi series 3, some protection today. Last weekend I used a wire brush on a drill and white spirit to remove old waxoyl then jetwashed. I used Jenolite rust converter and 2 coats of Buzzweld chassis in one...

The first thing I did was take the little steering wheel off and put a proper one on, I then fitted the steering wheel lock and pedal lock. The next thing I did was take it for a drive I then ordered a fuel pressure regulator repair kit as it was...

Check voltage at horn end. If that does not work check the fuses. Check both sides of the fuse as to check all good And what landrover do you have? What makes you think it’s the switch?

No relay on the horn. Check connections on the horn as the vibrate & break off. Check voltage at horn & work to the switch

Buy these. That’s for a 90 mind and not sure if yours is a 110 or other. Edit…just seen your post sayings it’s a 90 😏

Good luck with the sale. At least you still have 1 project on the go & people can see the motors are looked after

From what I remember, the tools for security bolts are easily available and therefore in my opinion no better than the originals. The original hinges on mine are Torx type, I filled them with epoxy resin putty, If I ever need to take them off it...

Secure that bonnet as well.. Etch widows,headlights & any panel that will be easily removed. May sound overkill but if they see them marked will hinder selling parts Enjoy the motor,don’t forget to wave to other landrovers

Sew a deeper lining into your pockets and cancel all weekend events for the foreseeable future! :p Full and comprehensive service, replacing all consumables. Give yourself peace of mind and a decent datum to start with. Enjoy.

Change the title to sold … No threads get removed

Tube out rigger might have a few years left. Chassis, if that is the worst then with time, effort, money you could probably slow the process. Fuel tank cradle is bolt on so not so important. Realistically all of our chassis are rusting away...

Sold...please remove mods

You could get in touch with the military vehicle trust. They're officially recognised by the DVLA as vehicle inspectors and can get you the registration. Costs about £200 for non members.
