    Jgs 4x4

    I've bought a few things off them with no probs, I've done a bit to my 90 though so always check the parts regardless of what the site says. I've not had to return anything though, I know companies change once a refund is mentioned

    They look good, any idea what makes the military spec winch military spec? I looks the same but it's black? Lol

    It was cold as I'd only started it to test the snorkel. It might take more to stop it if it was warmed up but if your snorkel is sealed properly blocking the top will stop the engine no matter what. Not sure about using a bag but cardboard worked great - it's all about getting a good seal

    I took the washer bottle and heater matrix out then it was a really easy job, just silicon it up and stick it on there. If you don't remove them it's a right fiddle and you might not get the best seal. I sealed most of it up off the vehicle to be sure it was done right, you have to strip...

    If it's sealed right it'll stop in a couple of seconds, in the vid I posted you can hear the vacuum that's been formed when I pull the cardboard off. If there's no air the engine will stop. I have heard about turbo failure and runaway engines but if you've done it right and it is sealed the...

    Doh! That is the cam belt cover plug. The bell housing / flywheel plug is here, or rather it should be. The plug is sitting in my dash at the mo but it goes in the hole in the centre of this pic:

    A dash cam for less than £12

    It's things like this that makes you think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrozaB9trZg&list=UUROJIoyGaB0TJ-7jecKkomQ What if I'd been driving like the Audi? Could have been a really bad day and I'd hope the camera would have helped if anything happened. I waved the bike through by the way, I...

    A dash cam for less than £12

    That looks like the same camera I've had for about 18 months now, it's been spot on and has caught some interesting driving. You can alter it to 15 minute recording segments which makes it a lot easier when editing things later (green lane stuff). It records well in the dark too.

    That might be a good idea; the standard 200Tdi inlet system has quite a few joints and none of them are even close to being sealed as standard. Make sure you seal up the 'one way' valves at the bottom of the air filter box and the bottom of the section that connects to the wing (I fitted a...

    I used black silicon to seal all the joints on the air inlet and made an O ring for the air filter housing. Is your engine breather pipe still connected into the air box?

    The first link contains the timing case kit so you wouldn't need the second one. I fitted one of these kits a couple of weeks ago and decided it was best to also get a 4 into 1 manifold, that way I only had one pipe going to the top of my snorkel

    Chris, I could keep these for a bit if you want them? I'm sure we can sort transport at some point. I could meet you half way or something, I could even deliver them for a drum of veg oil!

    You've got to wander what you'll find next! Can't see it doing much good demist wise as the air won't reach the windscreen

    Managed to keep control when under pressure

    I was just saying yesterday how nice it is to have a vehicle that you can actually work on without a fault finder. I dropped some parts of at my Dads yesterday and the Defender was loosing power on the way there. After checking the floor mat hadn't slipped forward (as low tech as it gets!) I...
