Finally got it up to my shed. Now the fun begins, Not sure where to start first.

As it stands, £200-500 really, but nobody is likely to accept that. The chassis and engine are worth money on their own, but obviously require work to get into individual bits. As a rule, parts will often add up to more than an entire vehicle. A...

2 x 3k 🤣 🤣

300tdi auto N reg onwards were edc engines, pre N reg they had normal throttle cables/injection pumps, EDC autos are slow beyond belief, though when chipped they will beat a std manual td5 hands down. Rover V8s are just crap, and if they are not...

Add a grand and there’s a clean one for sale on here. You’ll struggle at 2k unless you find someone who doesn’t know that they’re getting a bit rare. If they don’t know it’s getting rare, then they don’t know D1s and more importantly the rust...

Where are you based? Did you buy the above? If your not miles away I’m happy to come and help you break back if it one weekend

No!!!

Stripped down the LT230, and everything other than the intermediate gear is in tip top shape, none of the gear fragments got into any of the bearings which is amazing tbh - good job this happened within a mile of home. Here are the fragments...

Cabin is smart as now! A reminder of where it was!

Bulkhead back in with bottom half carpeted on cab side with the leftovers from lining.

Got the suspension section welded in then stopped and moved onto my other D1 as thought I’d left my drill at home. Turned out to be in back of truck whole time 😂 I think, I’ve just fuel tank strap bracket left to do on chassis. Also, been...

Twas merely a bulb

The little signal light in the instrument cluster now isn’t showing when I indicate. I can hear the clicker! Sounds like we got an iffy earth.

Thankyou for all the replies all those last comments made us feel better! It's going into a local garage tomorrow 🤞 but we definitely want to learn more basics ourselves and this forum is so helpful! 😊

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...

Finally, got some gas and new gloves. The welding supplies shop I use is sooo helpful and really good blokes. I said my earth was too tired and in the way so he made me a nice thick one up with a new clamp. Annoyingly, I assumed it would be a...

Bit more tidying up. This was rusty and flaking everywhere. I meant to only clean up where my fuse box earths but ended up taking the lot back to metal. Epoxy primered then only had half a can of black left so used some caliper paint

Go get it then @kevstar

She does look clean from outside! Manual? you want to add pics of boot floor, arches, inner wings, body mounts, rear crossmember, pillar bottoms etc to get one of us to get our wallet out mate 👍🏻

The 'power to the injector pump' actually goes to a solenoid/switch that opens when the ignition is turned on (and 12V is supplied) and closes (cutting off the fuel to the pump) when the ignition is turned off and 12V is removed. It's what stops...

The small pipe is fuel leak off pipe to the pump. I sent you a pm but basically you need to check for fuel going to lift pump, going to filter, going to injection pump. It needs continuous 12v at stop solenoid to let fuel through. When you are...

I’m sure defenders got this also. Don’t ask me where the one is for my resto. It’s in a really safe place that even I’m not allowed to know

Under the panel under your steering wheel there’s satellite fuse box. Should be labelled on the back of the panel mate. Got a little box strapped to it called your MFU which controls courtesy light timings etc

Great detective work!!! 👍🏻

Hi all, I was able to solve the problem with my EDC TDI it was the satellite 2 fuse 3 it was so corroded and only receiving 3V, after some cleaning, it is now running. Thanks all!

Don’t know why this has just come up for me but I’ll put all my edc stuff for sale on here shortly when I go through the shed as I’ve got the injectors, pump etc 👍🏻 PM me if of interest and I’ll let you know when I list it 👍🏻

Sorry for your loss. Lovely that you have something to remember him by. Restoration is a massive process, full of triumph, pain, cuts and dust. Have a look at Steve’s thread in the projects section - he’s been restoring one last few years. If...

Welcome to the Landyzone. Worth keeping it original, as you can put your own stamp on it and remember your dad fondly. Have a chat with the Series section for best advice on approaching repairs and spares. Local clubs are worth a shout for help...

Sorry for your loss. We understand it’s not just a car but part of the family. Plenty of help and advice available in the Series section. Welcome to LandyZone

Excellent purchase. Just stuck them in
