I oiled everything up when I built mine and fired it straight up. Alot say to let the oil pressure build up however mine had oil in the bores from fitting the rings and fired straight up. It fires straight up still then the light goes out

Plus it was your 90 which made me want one with side windows ect lol @Marmaduke

You make a fair point but the garden won't take many more nor will the Mrs lol. Will be nice to see how a road going 90 acts instead of my off roader which is horrendous lol

Nothing wrong with the 200in it however I'm going to put a 300 in it, I'll buy a rotten disco and strip what I need off it. Already have the seat box and tunnel ect so a disco is all I really need to get it going. I know the disco 200tdi engine like the back of my hand because I have one in my...

Beautiful build mate you have some real nice kit on that now

Sell all the landys n get a cj drop a 300"tdi in it then you have your jeep with land rovers unreliability. Sortes

Sell the kids keep all the land rovers

I use self tapping bolts for th. For pans and tunnel. Mega quick on a drill then

Defo need tunnel out makes it alot easier

I manage to pick a long stick r380 box for 65 quid so future plans for the daily run bout truck is to pull out the defender 200tdi engine and lt77 and stick in a 300 from a disco with this box. The 200 runs sweet but I fancy the r380 and at that price I couldn't resist as well as I got hold of...

Nothing factory about them

Lever forward to go into low box, trundel along in second gear and if you are on anything slippery ie we grass you'll be fine to push the little lever over to the left. As most have said a little momentum helps alot as well as mud terrain tires.

Sounds like you got done. I got exactly the same with mine and I still have it. You'll soon have it how you want it. It's a steep learning curve

I like the 300 however it's pretty much a 200.... Td5 is so much more modern than them both and not too hard to work on.

Stick the disco tranny in and fix the other

If drop another transfer box in it and repair the current one at leisure

Way too much. Could hit td5 for that money and still simple enough to work on yourself. No matter what you get eventually it'll need welding ect

I'm sure that's how I did mine. The problem with things like this is time passes and then you can't remember where you got the part from a few years ago or is that just me?

Hopefully nothing too serious. It's just its way of saying welcome back to the world of tratters

nothing more satisfying when she first fires up
