Great progress Tim, you may have seen the post about my oil leak, my advice is do it now before the rebuild is complete. A word of warning from experts, make sure the clutch plate is in the correct way😄 when reassembling.

Nope, just buying oil in bulk.

A good seven hours supported by my glamorous assistant Miktdish. Engine out, rear crank seal changed, engine refitted ancillaries fitted, just the radiator and air filter and grille tomorrow morning, then hopefully no more oil leaks.

3hours of reversing the build in preparation to remove the engine to replace the rear crank seal. who needs another project when you havre this to do😄

Thanks Mick, but it all works just the graphics are difficult/ impossible to see. what I thought was a flickering oil pressure light was the brake fluid level!! Topped up the fluid and all good. still hissing oil from the crank seal, going to bite the bullet on that, then I can dodo mat the...

Update, cleaned the contacts and replaced the handbrake switch, now it works!!

My warning light screen in the the instrument binnacle is so worn you cannot determine what the lamp refers to. Does anyone in the UK provide a replacement screen / overlay rather than an expensive replacement of the complete assembly?

I left mine “au natural”

Well, I have a new fresh MoT, Road Tax and insurance. finally drove the car I’ve owned for 4 years. There are still things to do however, it’s a Land Rover so no surprise. Miktdish, time for that bacon roll.

I didn’t have a problem with the exhaust routing, maybe it’s on wrong😄. I did have to buy new brackets but that was due to the poor quality of the original car. Just back from a few days Nessie watching so, hopefully I can make progress in the following few weeks, then I get a free bacon roll...

Great to see you are back in the garage. Looking forward to the next post.

Thanks Mik, the garage is only a mile away and they will do the MoT too. Once done I'm taking you up own the bacon roll.

Thanks, they do look a bit cruddy given the car is 30 years old.

Windscreen fitted, I read on here and a couple of other forums of issues with aftermarket windscreen seals, and the suggestion to use the genuine OEM seal. At £156 each that was not an option so, despite having a new screen I elected to fit the old one just to practice the install with an...

I have a 200TDi and finishing the rebuild. There was no wire from the handbrake switch when it was dismantled for the rebuild. I have added a wire from the switch to the plug in the engine bay (White & Yellow Wire) and I have continuity from the switch to the connector on the circuit board on...

Been a little busy, and frustrate. All the lights are in and working. The headlights are new Wipac halogen as LED too expensive at the moment, all the others front and rear are LED. New wolf style wheels with new Davanti Terratoura tyres, I was going to leave them off until the end but needed a...

Question to the collective wise ones. I want to add a headliner to the rear of my 90 van and want to know if the rear section of a 110 would fit? From what I can see this rear section doesn’t have the alpine windows which is a bonus as I don’t want to add alpine windows. The reason is that I...

Got a good few hours on the build today. Fitted the rear screen, set out everything on the bench mindful not to fit the glass the wrong way round. DumDum on the frame all good stood back to admire my work… and despite my planning the glass was in the wrong way. Feeling like a right muppet I...

Big day today, my landy started first time after 4 years!! i added an inline filter for the diesel just in case there was debris in the fuel tank, cranked a few times it over with the fuel solenoid disconnected. Got the exhaust to fit and investigate why the clutch is working like an on / off...

Thanks guys
