Do they use resistors then?? Asking for knowlage

Packaging off the new belt & no name.. unusual for me. Will have a look through some spares in the shed(Thursday night)

V8 it is then :p. J

What the hell possessed you to move to a place like that, weather not bad enough for you in the UK? lol

I reckon so! Funnily enough I ran the Webasto today. If it's cold enough you can run it while driving to help keep the cabin warm. I think (fingers crossed) that our sub-zero temps are on the way out now. Other than Wednesday all the daytime...

Fair enough, small fire it is then .

Webasto do block heaters for to get the water warm/hot.not found anything that would do for oil though. Think if you warmed the water it would flow through rad & does TD5 has the oil cooler fitted into the rad? Also fit a night heater into the...

We do that on the ice roads, but on a big rig you can idle it up. Not so with a Td5 (although an object of the correct weight on the go pedal would work. I've also seen home made adjustable 'cruise controls' made with G clamps ;)

Yes you can on the steering box. Either take wheel off and repostion Rotate/Move the steering arm off the lower steering tube Or undo the 2 ujs & reposition steering wheel in correct place(think 1 of the UJs has a wide locating spline,so spin &...

Yes! Previous owner started it and it made me chuckle so I continued. She’s still being used daily!!! Current observations ideas are: Think my leaks gone since doing rocker cover and cyclone Steering wheel still needs straightening - I’m...

Pig was meant to be a pig. I bloody love this car though 😂 best 2k I ever spent (the hole in the pocket after purchase doesn’t count - that’s just disco tax)

Are you going to use both side and the passenger side when you run out of space?

Had to be very careful not to clean my service history off!!

They’re not meant to leak, but honestly, that is perfectly normal for a Defender! You’ll soon learn not to park on expensive-looking driveways.

When you fill a fliud (other than engine) in a land rover its called a fill/level plug and there is usually an oil stain around said plug, because you fill until it dribbles out. Post some more pics of it underneath. I dont know what you paid...

If the column is tight on the steering box and the steering wheel can be turned without the drop arm moving then the play is in the box (obviously). There is a correct way to adjust the steering box. You could have changed just the ujs and not...

If you loosen that nut inside your circle you can then adjust that bolt to free up or tighten

Well, fitted earth cable from block to battery at the weekend and so far all seems well. Many thanks for everyone's advice

Thanks, no steering at the moment , will need to move the front wheels around by hand to steer it out the building then same again when It gets to my yard.

New cutting disk to the rescue.

£1k has always been the going rate. (15 on fleabay at the moment)

Someone will remind me what you can fit instead ... summat out of an old BL van I think ...

New hoses, and while I’m there if I’m paying for delivery anyway may as well get a few “bits” 😂

I Probabaly could do but currently with a little one, speed and ease are worth paying for as time is very limited. By buying the Steve Parker mount everything should just be an easy bolt in job.

Rude not to celebrate todays progress with a beer ! Or better still 2 beers ! Cheers everyone

Having a look at trail wise and found it a bit helpful. Some lanes I had looked on the OS map have TRO/VRO or advise to only go 1 way. Yes some of this info goes back a few years,so a sites is only as good as the info supplied Still route...

Done. It’s the spare wheel from the rear carrier so was able to “go at it”

You needed a new radiator anyway .... and a larger intercooler, the frame repainting and new rubbers 👍

The Key is to think outside the box a little Try these

Have you tried to get the wheel to move at all , just to break the rust bond ...
