Another one for Irwins .

So a bit more catching up today , doors up next . Earlier you saw how I repaired them so now to paint and new skins , first job primer the skin side of the frames and the vents , then the new skins , mastic supplied by SP landrovers where I had the skins from was smeared all over the frame...

Thank you all very much , I shall definitely finish it so no worry there I tend to get very involved and forget about other things in life , but the irony is it’s all I can do at the minute because of the lockdown hahahahaha .

Hi all , haven't updated this for a while lost interest in it but lots has been done and a load due to lockdown so I'll be updating over the next week or so , so here goes . First up was finished off putting the engine bits on , got the auto gearbox oil cooler pipework sorted and all fitted...

Unfortunately I can’t say for the standard intercooler as I fitted the full width one when I rebuilt the truck and ended up measuring the temperatures in a discussion on another forum , if you fancy a read here’s a link . https://forums.lr4x4.com/topic/104474-intercoolers-and-other-bits/#comments

If you want to spend that sort of money you can go for a front mounted full width Ali sport one , I’ve got one fitted to my 110 200tdi , I did some testing with thermocouples on the inlet and outlet temps the drop in temp was quite large .

Check eBay for the controls they come up pretty regular .

Wouldn’t like to say , it could go either way last ages or pack up in a week . There is a second alternative replace it with a carling switch or similar wouldn’t have to worry again , it’s what I’m planning when I get round to it after I’ve done the head light wiring upgrade Xmas .

Hi all , I recently brought an eberspacher from eBay and this came with it , it’s a PRO LATCH R latching relay https://sterling-power.com/products/latching-relay-control-pro-latch-r?variant=882713759 link here , I was going to fit a ctek battery split charge system , but was wondering if this...

Thank you , it’s going to be more of a daily driver but you just have to get them muddy don’t you :D .

It's been a while since my last post family parties and the need for a rest also working Saturdays have got in the way and once you start to enjoy relaxing it's hard to get your get up and go working again , still need to take some pics of the finished oil cooler forgot about that its been that...

If the base ( underside ) is still solid they’re pretty easy to repair if you can weld they tend to go on the ends and the chassis in between the end plates , I’ve got a build thread in the members vehicles section Ian’s 90 rebuild there’s some pics of what I did in that and if you need any help...

I’m presuming you mean the a frame cross member, If I remember correctly from a few other threads you can’t buy that particular part anywhere and most people repaired it which is what I did on my 110 and my 90 or fabricated there own I’ve never seen one for sale but it’s been a while so someone...

So a bit further forward , didn't get as much done as I would have liked over the last 4 days but enjoyed the break from work , so a package of shiny new silicone hoses arrived , and picked up a bargain off ebay of a brand new set of Dewalt extreme cobalt drill bits for £45 , these are the...

When I repaired the chassis on this I took that to work and had it done , I had had it blasted before repairing and the chap on the plant said they had had to rub it over with sanding blocks in places as there was still specks of paint on it . I was going to have the bulkhead galved but when I...

Thank you , I am a fabricator/welder by trade but my dad taught me to weld about 30 years ago in the garden shed , I’d lost my job and he came home one day with a bucket of scrap and said if you can learn to weld in 2 weeks there’s a job at our place going and I’ve been doing it ever since ...

Thank you , so today decided to finish off the welding on the door frames but first up welded the fixing tab back on to one of the seats , Next up the driver's side door , and a few new shiny bits , so cut out the top rusty bits , and welded in the shiny new bits , next cut out...

Thank you.

Thank you all . Yes did think the d1 unit looked a bit big , also looked at the puma ones , have also looked at the electric element route but have read in a few threads that they draw a hell of a lot of power . Now thinking of reworking the defender heater box , rerouting the ducting to make it...
