As the title says, only way to stop the engine is to remove the wire to the pump solenoid. I have noticed that if you touch the spade to the terminal on the solenoid it has a slight spark even with the ignition off. Things I have tried: Removing wires from ignition barrel - still runs removed...

I've already had em off and used a load of flexible silicone sealant. Hopefully they'll seal better when they've been used a bit

Ok people, while you were all having fun at LZ event, we were working really 'ard on this damn truck. It now runs and is really LOUD :D Here's some of what we've done for you old folk that don't follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/DefenderProject if you're feeling modern :D Custom...

Ahh looks like you've had a great time guys. Gutted I couldn't make it this year. :( Stupid discovery build ha

Nice, might have to get one before the next event :D

Hi all, REALLY need a dipstick for the 3.9 V8 engine, let me know! Cheers

Provided we get the fuel lines and a spark we should have it running this weekend :) I/we have done this truck entirely at weekends as i work 100 miles away monday-friday :( :(

:D

Fairly bare right now, switch panel in the centre, pedal box is there etc but waiting to have floor modified because the seats don't fit :( disco floors are very narrow!

Within the next 6 weeks I hope we've got a race in Italy :D Was supposed to be ready in 2 weeks for one in France but we had issues and got let down. Bring on Italy!

I'm not going to give a specific value but lets just say enough to buy a brand new car, and no I don't mean a Fiat Panda! Just want it done!!!

Thanks guys. Finally getting towards the end. But wow this is one difficult build. I could have never imagined it would have cost this much in time or money and its still not over.

Right everyone here is an update! I also see some of you have had issues with some of the images. This has affected me also so don't know what is happening there. Hopefully you can see these! But for reliable, up to date build details with extra content - follow us on Facebook...

I can't seem to find it either in there. Its like a piece that keeps the lock in the door. Orange in colour from what I recall.

Anyone have a part number or link for the plastic ends that go on the door lock barrels? Went to change the locks and the little end piece broke so cant put the lock back in. Cant find anything about them anywhere! Cheers

I have one in my 90 (though a 200tdi) t-piece as said, I actually replaced the clock in the instrument cluster with the boost gauge as they are the same size :)

Looks good! Have a look at how my build is coming along now ;)

Rolled out of the workshop this weekend to have the shocks mounted and some final wiring done! She's starting to look good!

Hi all, almost got the rebuilt V8 ready to rumble. Just need a few things. Friend managed to lose the dipstick so will need a new one? Any idea of part number? Also need belts for this pre serp engine. Seem to have difficulty finding those too. So anyone know part numbers for belts for PAS...
