I then started to mock up the steering system, slotted in the TD5 column and popped the box as far forward on the chassis as possible. then balanced the shaft in between to see how much it would need to be shortened. sorry its a bit blurry. but thats the first mock up. IMAG1587 by...

Oh also as you can see whipping off the wing revealed a little hole in the bulkhead so i welded that up. this was where the inner wing meets the bulkhead so a bit of a trap for dirt. IMAG1578 by darransandwich, on Flickr all patched up. IMAG1592 by darransandwich, on Flickr then...

So now the conversion is well under way so i thought i should pop some pics up. Firstly we got the landy set up in the barn.then we proceeded to remove the wing ready to start stripping. That left us with plenty of access to the steering components. IMAG1577 by darransandwich, on Flickr...

So heer are some pics of the 200tdi fititng, its a pretty well documented process although with anything there are always a few bits and bobs to get over. In honesty its not quite finished, the throttle cable is a little basic really and i want to re wire the front halfof the truck when i get...

Well basically i have owned bruice for a few years now and also been a fairly quiet member of the forum for even longerso i though it was time i did a little bit of a write up about him. I will update this will some decent pics but here is a brief description. He started his life as a series 3...

I think im ok now buddy i got one off a mate if i have any issues with this one I will let you know.

Have you checked the detent springs Chris, also i gues your the same ChrisCooke from SXOC so hi :)

Anyone?

I also have an old one kicking about in pretty good nick, where are you based?

Hi guys, im after a good condition gearbox for a series 3 88" as mine has decided to give up the ghost. Does anyone have one up for grabs? Thanks Aaron

ah good work mate ive only just got back online anyhow

I have one mate if you want it drop me a PM.

does anyone know what fitting sixes are on each end of the flexi's? i may order soem extended braided ones

Yeah they were britpart cyllinders, it may just be a conincidence that it happened on a day off off roading, ill have a good inspect and see what i can find, could be a good excuse to fit the 11 inch drums i have in my shed

I have a carpet piece over the gearstick section with a gaiter and then thick rubber mats on the floor that are fitted to the cab, you can purchase carpet lining kits for the bulkhead but its liable to get wet and hold in corrosion. people have shortened defender roof linings to fit and you can...

Yeah there was still fluid in the reservoir and all the cylinders are pretty new which is why i though maybe a flexi on fully articulation. Does anyone know if the pipes are put uder tension at full articulation if you have parabolic springs?

Right i did a bit of searching but didn't come up with too much. I went to whaddon yesterday and on the way back noticed my brake pedal had dropped and took to pumps to apply the brakes. What would be the likely cause of this. is it likely to be that i have stretched a flexi and let some air...

ill see if i can find a bow saw, still not sure how to tackle it, ill come in my landy though.

yeah ill come along, do you want me to pm you my number?

I can come along on Wednesday and lend a hand but i dont know how we can move it, if you careful you can get around the tree but we were in a group of 5 with a winch. I wouldn't want to do it on my own really.
