Enough suspense. So starter has 2 terminals Solenoid has 1 and a spade. I had red white on the spade. I had battery feed and alternator on the solenoid and for some unknown stupid reason had the fuse box feed on the starter terminal.

apparently im super ****ing moron. mate just sent me a photo of his starter..... glaring omission on mine. Ill tell you after i sort it and see if it works haha

Jump lead didnt work Battery Neg direct to the block. Checked all the multi plugs a couple looked a bit shy of home. Pushed them fully home. NADA. Not even the sidelights which should work independently of the ignition system which suggests I've missed something obvious as feck. Its...

Yeah I will do. But toys were out the pram after the day. Also did a transit wishbone bush set and a wheel bearing. So it's been a sweary day More just venting haha.

My 200tdi with factory loom in the 90 which I built 4 years ago has had the engine removed for rear crank seal and block/flywheel housing gasket and a bunch of other exterior engine work. Nothing serious or invasive just tidying up stuff. I also fitted a raptor dash Today I plumbed it all up...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RDX-Side-Pod-for-K-Switches-LandRover-Defender-1983-to-2006-Dashboard-Console/390640270374 I need a new end for my dash having seen how **** mine looks against the new binicle and crashpad. i want to put switches in for my roof lights and my A bar light - but dont...

one of the easiest jobs ive done. I have a fetching grey 4 way stretch carpet over mine now. Old stuff was barely attached. Remember to use Hi temp spray adhesive.

that will just be generic as they mainly make radiator header tanks looking at their ebay page.

bloody pricy that . youd be needin g the mount at another 96 quid..... snorkle air intake would go in the end - the out let looks to be on the underside in that photo - i guess youd rotate it round to the side so it can go back to turbo.... Its just a carbon shiny copy of the real deal 200...

If you don't fit an inlet and outlet silencer it sounds like you have a jet engine. I hate it when I end up parked up in the camper next to ****s who didn't bother fitting the silencers.

I guess it also highlights how ruddy terrible the camera on my phone is......

Radiator back in and pipe work plumbed up Alternator cabling back in Starter wired up. Fuel pipes hooked back up. Still gotta do steering pipes , oil cooler pipes and the drain all fluids/service /fill all fluids. On interior I need to replace transmission tunnel and floor pans. + Fit the...

It's grim and it's raining outside My cooling system and slam panel are in the garage I opted to wire and refit the dash after changing it all into a raptor binicle and mount. What a difference looks so tidy. Highlights how rough the end panel looks and I think I need to recover the crash pad at...

Is it a Clarke ? Mines came from factory assembled wrong. Dismantled the torch and replumbed it right get through alot less gas Now

Got up early doors and did a homer on a mates sons Suzuki swift --pads disks and handbrake adjustment for its MOT fail sheet and retest. Then Put the 200tdi back in the 90 6 or 8 or 10 times. Last time I did it I swear it mated first go first offering no sweat. This time it was in and out...

Cleaned up the flywheel housing fitted a new dowty seal and block/flywheel gasket with some hylomar . Broke out the torque wrench and tightened it all up nicely. Refitted the flywheel and clutch & starter. Ready to drop it back in the bay and hook it back up how ever that's another day. Also...

Well that is factually correct but not what was going on with my motors . All the eggs were sucked prior to changing the motor. A compression test and subsequent strip down showed it to be in poor health .

T in above the air filter into the large od hose.

oh yes absolutely but just to make it clear the connector is removable. In your case just cut it in half and splice in some extra wire with some solder and heatshrink
