Don't touch the boost on the Turbo, the way the VGT works need a lot of setting up to get right and the 300tdi really doesnt need more than 15psi. Altering the fuel screw will give you an immediate effect, Unscrew it by 1/2 a turn and see what...

Earning its keep today, yanking out some bushes. Ready for some block paving because obviously I need more parking 🤣 Made short work of it, low range pulled them out just over tick over

True, but I've currently got lower temps at the moment, so there's going to be some wriggle room......

I never went more than 16psi.300tdi ran a large charge cooler instead of intercooler. Keep fiddling but you could get to a point where things get very hot quickly.

37xx in the end, after labour, most expensive thing was new side steps

So basically £3800, is that all in with vat, parts and labour? That doesn't seem to bad, considerably more if you had gone for a new chassis.

Not LED! Fixed - the earth wire was cracked in the loom and causing the issue.

@dag019 has saved the day and is going to come and take it :)

That’s a lot of parts now installed and unknowns rectified. I’ve record of the cambelt being done - previous owner seemed to keep ontop of it so I’m content with that. Cooling didn’t seem bad - my temp sender is in the stat housing so think it...

I’d buy a lottery ticket if I were you!😉

I did think that this morning! Yeah would double up as a quick BBQ/Firepit! Maybe ill make a lil adapter to sit in the top

Doubles up as a pizza oven and a kebab grill ontop?

Decided to make this today. Straps onto the spare wheel a ratchet strap. Plenty on holes for straps/bungees plus some hooks for wrapping/hanging recovery strops Even did a little matching basket for stuff and things.

I went to war with that pump housing. When I say the bolt was seized in the housing I mean the bolt was near enough welded to the whole. Thread was fine but I spent a good couple hours wrestling with it. I actually ended up cutting it to get the...

A few rear body replacement YRM panels turned up today. They were supposed to arrive Thursday but Fedex seemed to think finding the actual delivery address just too much trouble. The seat belt and B post lowers both needed attention. So the...

Try your local Land Rover club or the green lane association (GLASS). They will have a local rep and organise green laning days. If it’s off roading you want, a pay and play site is the best bet unless you join a club and go with other members...

To be fair to them, it’s not just for Landies, and about 50% of what the Landy stalls were selling needed to be weighed in! 😂 I have a small list of parts to find each time, but I also go just for a jolly. My top find today (and probably...

I would say that was an original cock up, but I bet it would be an issue going into the USA.

Plenty of modern crap still with leaf springs on the rear axle. Series of all models are pretty crap, 90/110/defenders also crap, though people seem to get really upset when you say that, so it is always worth a mention every now and then!

Another good day. The price has gone up quite considerably. It was £7 on the gate two years ago and it is now £12.50!🙄 It was a bigger sale than the autumn one. There were a lot more stalls selling junk and non-Landy things, unless you plan on...

The difference in rotor arms were the ways the metal tabs were held on. Crap ones could not cope with heat & would pop up on the top

Blue were always the best. The centre electrode(which runs on the dizzy arm) also stronger. Later ones seem to break down. Never silicone the cap to keep the water out this appears to break the caps down quicker

Engine Oil and filter, air filter change plus new rear brake pads fitted today. Then it got it's yearly oil bath, sprayed oil and diesel underneath and into as many nooks that I could find. I now look like a Junk yard dog.. covered in oil, but...

`Not very helpfully, I had changed the plugs from used Champs N9YC to new ones to new NGK BPR6ES. Still the same misfire, but a new distributor and rotor has now sorted it. The 3.9 is running beautifully on NGKs but it did on Champs too before...

Its done !!! And Im also done in ! 12 hrs in the man cave, 1lt of etch primer, 2 lts of high build primer, 3 sheets or 80 120 and 400 grit block sanding pads and two bottles of Proper Job IPA and the tub is finally ready for top coat.

MM 4x4 organised it, they had it for a few days, ordered the bits, then took back last Monday

Thankfully my welder guy has a lot of experience with soldering, so I'll get him to do the repair properly. It did give me the opportunity to take the rad out and give it a proper flush.

All sorted now. I ended up only replacing about 10" as the rest of the pipe was in good condition, just the bit where i spun the nut into got damaged 🤣 I plan on getting the body off later in the year so i will do a full job then. Thanks all...
