First time in a while posting up on here with some much needed maintenance. started off checking over the valve gaps and adjusting to 0.20mm and replacing the rocker gasket Also cleaned up the intercooler flushed it out with petrol and used a hose to wash out the fins which were clogged with...

Yeah I was thinking the same tbh but they have held up a few overgrown green lanes and pay and play days!

I never made any but I did end up buying these (link below) just for the reason it was an easy option and it fits perfect, I have no close up pictures but you can kind of see it on post #13 and 14 dude...

Thanks for all your replies but I think after reading all your comments and suggestions I'm not going to bother as I just don't have the space/ time so I think I'll just save up in the future and buy a better condition one to save the hassle

Is welding hard? haha I have some idea but don't think I'd trust myself I've got a MIG welder but think its broken anyway

Not a lot changed recently thinking of selling it soon to fund a defender project but if that falls apart I have a few ideas for the disco.

I did start pricing bits up last night for most of the replacement parts and that came to £340 for bulkhead/xmember/both footwells/bumper and a few rubber seals. I have no clue in welding I know a few people who could for me but they want £50/£60 per hour for welding or I could teach myself and...

It's a 300tdi registered in 1995, it's been left in a field for years and the interior is buggered and has a birds nest in it haha, I can get some pictures up tonight when I'm back home.

I have been offered a Defender 110 with 113,000 miles for a cheap price of £1500 has a few faults and was wondering what you guys thought? I've always wanted a Defender and a project would be quite nice as I've never restored a car before but just wanted to see if you guys think I should or just...

Well so far this weekend I did 60 miles to £20 which is only 16mpg and I'm sure I should be getting more, I did have the evry mod but didn't like it so I'm tempted to do the same and fit a manual pump to see if I get better mpg

Got my rear brakes all sorted last week was a bit of a job to say the least, I never knew how involved it was compared to standard car so bit of a learning curve there haha, also fitted my new bumper/steering guard and snorkel.

Haven't posted in a while but been thoroughly enjoying the disco going to canewdon offroad club, but a bit of a downside the brakes were getting low and on my way to work spat out a brake pad so I've had to leave it on site until its fixed :( and tonight picked up a sump/steering guard for a...

It's finally ready for its MOT this week and then off roading on Sunday :D

Right so today was rather productive, got my CB radio fitted(just need to wire up the aerial) and as I have an automatic with EDC I did the EVRY mod that people go on about as I don't have a boost pin to modify and it was puffing some black smoke when I revved it up on the drive, got the last...

Rock sliders are fitted, just got a bulb/wiring to fix and then two copper rear brake lines to replace then fit the front extended brake hoses, and the rear trailing arm bushes and then finally ready for it's MOT!

Cheers man! Went and picked up the tyres and rims today to get them fitted at work and finally got to take a look at my rock sliders! Then attempted to fit the rims and tyres in the back of the golf and succeeded!

Sounds like a good plan you've got there, I'll be keeping an eye seeing how you get on :)

Very small update but all the welding is finally done, tyres are on order, extended brake lines fitted and had custom rock sliders made by a local company. Will hopefully get some photos by the weekend :) Only photo I got of the rock sliders being made:

Yeah I've seen discos being broken for bits/scrapped as people can't be bothered to save them, but I don't mind as getting all the welding done for a reasonable price

My beast of a lightbar turned up today :D 52" 300w Will attempt to make some custom gutter brackets this weekend and maybe test it
