👍 nice

Ah ok cheers both, so as row loom am I right in thinking I don't need one then? so I can just wire up wing as is?

Good afternoon gents. I'm about to wire up my wings off the td5 bulkhead loom I have and it's come to my attention that I may need a resistor within the wing? Is this right? The current wing wiring is from a '89 vehicle and my new bulkhead harness is a ROW TD5 loom. I would get new wing looms...

Hi all I'm having some strange issues trying to install the aircon unit I have. Background is, I purchased a 300tdi engine together with its entire wiring loom and it's aircon unit (under dash type) so everything is from the original donor vehicle. The loom truns out to be a ROW 300tdi loom...

Cheers warrior I'll order new one now.

Silly question but what is this hole in the water pump as water is squirting out of it. I'm in the process for replacing the P gasket and pump gasket but need to know if I need a new water pump? am I missing a bung or are the seals inside gone? Cheers all for any advice.

That's great cheers, went for the kit in the end, for the cost seemed silly not too. Cheers mate.

Hi Sorry to add to an old question but I'm going to replace my timing belt on a 2000 300tdi (im guessing its a late one, as the engine came off a special order vehicle to Saudi). Question is, do i need to replace all pulleys, belt, bots, gaskets etc etc with an entire kit (STC4096L) or shall...

Thanks for all the advise, it's in and as you can see in the photos I went for the new r380 crossmember. I'll start another thread for the re build as it's been so far a massive undertaking. Not just the "all you need us an engine mate" like I thought when I bought it :-) I went for new seat box...

The two above the ones I measured? Your best bet may be to take a photo of where your looking at and circle.

Some photos of the conversion Old mounts out, you can see the old crossmember still in place Old crossmember gone Note seatbox mounts have to be cut to make room for new r380 crossmember. New one installed using existing holes from the old mounts and all painted up Hope that helps...

Are these what you are after?

Morning Gents, I'm trying to install a new 300tdi exhaust into my 130 hicap 1989 converted from a 2.5 n/a, and obviously none of the centre mounts are there. Would anyone with a 130 300tdi kindly take some photos as to what mounting brackets i need to buy or make please. I have trawled the...

Old crossmember gone, new r380 one installed, old seat box gone, engine installed last week, it went in like a dream. Thanks everyone for your advice. I have loads of photos if anyone is interested of the entire install. Just don't know where to post them.

right now i'm a bit confused. I thought if used the r380 cross member this would position the engine in the correct position within the bay thus been able to use all the correct hoses etc etc, (as the engine rad and gearbox i have came out of a 2000 110 defender) but now its been suggested...

i think as i got a complete unit with everything already in place as in hoses, rad, exhaust etc no point in modding any of that as in theory it will all just plug and pray after i have mounted it all. Ok so ill get the disco cross member, shave off the bit off the seat bracket and then bolt it...

so if im reading this right, if i choose to fit the disco cross member, it will align everything in the correct position, but id need to alter the tunnel, seat box, floor plates to accommodate it all. Whats the alternative so that i don't have to mod the tunnel, floor and seat box. really...

hi James how would i fit into proper position, i was going to use the gearbox cross member as a guide you see to try and achieve this, are you saying this is incorrect? cheers, Dave

Many thanks for your reply i got a complete unit out of a 2000 defender, engine, gearbox, rad, pipes exhaust, wiring, clocks. just need to fit into the '89 130 chassis. so if i get a r380 cross member out of a disco would that do it? (ok cut a little off the seat box mounts if i remember...

Hi everyone i have a '89 130 hicap, im planning on installing a 300tdi with r380 . It had a 2.5 na with lt77 as far as im aware, as when i got it the engine was out and engine mounts had been ground off. lt77 mounts are still there! My question is, do i need to purchase a r380 cross...
