Wow! Not seen those before. I'll take a look at a 2286 I've in the yard tomorrow, see if I can find them on it.

im gonna say its probably a copy of the acr headers, i didnt pay much in total it was cheaper then a new exhaust manifold.

Did a little search and this popped up. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/diesel-vacuum-pump-question.350782/ So it could be correct being open. How much "suck" do you get on the line going to the servo, and does the other line "blow"? J

You've a pump driven by the belt? I don't know much about those pumps, could that be the "exhaust" for the air expelled from the tank?

Hum! Interesting, similar to the ACR headers.

Any photos?

That's good work @uytter . Well done. This is all from your photos so I'm not 100% on any of this advice but..... The valve looks like an on-off switch. An electrical isolation valve, if you wish. Keep the positive terminal of the battery set...

I share your struggle. Mine looks similar, but sufficiently different so that the standard rattle cans don't match. I'm sending a sample to paint man, asking for a match

Not my one, but was handy to use to find it!

Thanks, after quite a lot of searching finally found it! under layers of protection and dirt!

Good, batteries wired correctly. Now, your machine doesn't have standard Landrover wiring, it has lots of continental fuses, and this I can only assume lots of split out circuits on top of the Landrover loom. However there is most likely to be...

PEARLS OF WISD Clingfilm worked!

That's a really smart idea. Well done. Thank you, also, for letting us know.

Simple things first. Disconnect the batteries, leaving only the cable between them. What voltage do you get across the two batteries?

I am facing this job. What modifications did you make?

Get a multi meter. Then you can start looking for the problems. First. You do have 2 batteries, right?

Welcome!

Any photos of what you got?

Get it reconditioned? Got any photos?

Gotcha, thanks. Ive got my electric fan on the outside of the radiator which limits my options somewhat.

I think I was the one to confuse everyone. I think the blue filter container looks great blue, mine is grayish / silver on my 73 series 3 I believe and wondered if blue was an original color. As for a refurb on my oil bath air filter I'll most...

Confused. Oil filter casing was blue. Air filter, oil bath type, was black.

Yes, whipped out the thermostat before blanking. Where have you got the intercooler mounted? I've got a small one here but was just slightly too big to fit with the electric fan in place.

Series rad in the standard place. Spal fan and flat shroud between rad and engine. Similar to this, with some minor trimming. Intercooler in front of the rad with some not great brackets holding it. Both cooler hoses under the expansion bottle...

Mine is a disco timing chest, defender manifolds, Skoda fabia RS intercooler, mocol oil cooler, battery over the relay, shuffled forward. Turner head and diesel Bob high power IP. I really like it. Got some upgrades coming, though.

Did you remove the bypass thermostat thingy in the oil filter block when you blanked off the cooler?

To get DVLA information register as a car park owner. You'll get details no bother.

Gauges are unreliable in accuracy, but good for a trend. If the lower hose is cold then it's probably okay, assuming the thermostat opens. The voltage regulator in the dash needs an earth and is essential for gauge operation.

Gearbox to engine nuts are 9/16". The top two are either 9/16" or 5/8".
