rust rust rust. This one just looks like it's been living life by some salt water. I personally think this is too much rust for the money, it looks like it's been painted over.. you'll be spending another 6-9k to get it on a new chassis etc dependant on how bad it is. For that type of money...

Get a turbo shop to rebuild it, they will be able to throw a aftermarket actuator on also

Just look the other way, no issues ;)

plugs from the bulkhead in the right plugs?!

what reading do you have at the lights?

Yeah exactly what i'm thinking of doing.. straight out with the engine.. are you taking the radiator out at this point?

Where abouts in Germany?

That’s the issue with the bell housing hitting the bulkhead in this case with the short version it seems not possible. It’s been on the ramp

Last time i checked engine has to come out to change the clutch this way because of the shaft and area of the box hitting the bulkhead.. Anyone remember doing this ?

Sell it. I have the same problem on my 70 plate DS. 800£ for 2 parking sensors. 1200£ for rear pads and discs. 3 gearbox faults. can buy them at auction for like 5-6k these days.. DS are a waste of money.

Yes i know.. the whiskey thing should've been higher up.. but it was rusted away.. new arches this weekend new whiskey fuel only new rear 90 badge

maybe a bad earth, do you have 12v at battery? keep following it back - battery - switch - follow to plugs

there's more fun in unbolting it all yourself.. honestly with the amount of diagrams there are.. don't be afraid you'll be able to put it back together pretty easy with workshop manuals such as lrworkshop.com

hilarious... i did mine last night!

I got a quote for a bosch one.. £400.. LOL Spent £95 on a britpart one last night, will arrive tomorrow. Comes with same warranty as hella etc so we will see..

Any recommendations for top tier brand starter motor? Looking like a tight squeeze with the LT77 and the 300tdi pushed back a bit :(.

Looks good, not bad welds for the stick welder for those angles!

fuel leak off pipes are very common also

MOT passed today. Defender is now home after 6 weeks away with my sh*ting myself wondering if it's been stolen.
