As a sort of update I emailed the Glass Chairman who via the local rep, has passed the video and as much info as possible to the relevant authorities.
What comes of it, if anything, I do not know.
Check to see if the manifold gaskets are the same…
If they are different look at the pictures to see the difference & indicates the model with the larger ports.
Ok, the transfer box seals hadn't been done so I would take that with a pinch of salt.
Have a look at the cambelt housing front cover and see if that's been off recently.
Cambelt only really becomes a problem if it snaps, most likely you will be...
Could not agree more. I have had the conversation with friends that I don't know what came first the land rover or the things I do in my free time, but they compliment each other, and if I had a normal plastic car with carpets, within 6 months...
Few things I spotted…
Move the spill rail return away from the throttle cable
Where is the pipe from top of fuel pump(where the star boost pin adjuster is) ?
Always an awkward repair but more so when you’ve got to ensure it doesn’t knock out your lining up across the rest of the repairs.
Test fitting is a must. Takes longer but I don’t want to find I’m out on my boot floor which would then knock on to...
One of the rear crossmembers had seen the metal moth generate fresh air where steel should be.
Tonight's task was to fill it in with a small patch:
And weld it back in.
Only got access to arc at the moment and that can be a bit fierce on...
Removed the bed system
Fixed(pop rivit) a bar back onto the tail gate
Installed the new spare wheel brackets to get the tyre off the floor.
Off to shops for nuts/bolts/washers. Replace stocks
And when the mrs won’t hold your nuts ;) use a...
Do these big trips same time every year as the friend comes over from Germany just for lanes & overlanding.
As for local stuff…. I think August may be the next trip.
Can you let me know if you plan anything else in near future? I’m keen to do a bit in pig. Apart from private land that day I had a go in yours is last time I went. Years ago now. Time flies
Nope….
Nothing will fit. Dash to wide
Doors wrong shape
Seatbase… does the motor still have the tank under the seat?
Now do you want photos of a series 1 interior?
Update….
3good days of lanes. We decided not to do strata as lots of bikes out on the Taffy Dakar.
They warned us 1 normal lane had a landrover off the edge & rolled down the bank & been there a few days. We was able to miss the section...
@landielover2a
Here a few photos of the front brackets needed to mount the 2B cab.
This does have a new chassis(inspected by dvsa)
It has power steering(adaption done to chassis when built)
And it never ends... the brake check light was constantly illuminated...
Both wires had corroded/snapped off the level switch that sits in the clutch/brake fluid reservoir... had to unpick the connector and solder the wires back on.
The rear floor had enough metal moth holes to think pulling the floor up and replacing it was a good idea:
Its not a job to be rushed. I think there were 66 spot welds and I lost count with the steel rivets, some of which were easy to access...
Mine needed an adjustment this week. 3 clicks as normal and parked on the hill. 10 mins later it rolled back 5 foot into the Hilux behind me….centre double locking nuts had vibrated loose green laning. May change this to a single nylock instead
In which case I would Definitly contact autosparks (LINK) they have standard on the shelf but can also do “custom” so should be able to get what you need.
