Thanks AI.

Thanks Dag, I guess I need to torque everything up and test.

Hi AI, this is what I'm battling to establish, it's very loose in general on all angles I am not confident torqing up the housing at all.

Hi Dag, I've taken off the slave cylinder, had a play around with the pin which is for the moment still fixed to the fork and taken pics of the pin, pulled fully out and inserted. Does this look right in terms of what is left protruding? The nuts on the bell housing are not torqued yet so if...

Hi Dag, excellent help many thanks. The rod is passing fully inside the housing, i.e. it is not protruding nearly enough to be pushed. It does sound like my rod is too short. I will have a play around with set of long nose pliers tonight. Thanks

Hi AI, the engine and gearbox slotted in perfectly to the new (MAER) chassis.

Hi Dag, referring to the push rod from the slave cylinder it is passing right inside the housing and not working the fork. If there are differences between defender and discovery this could be the issue, I'm not sure if there is a way to possibly change the pin if so without splitting the...

Hi All, some pics of progress. Fitted new clutch today (Valeo) and have encountered what seems to be an issue. Engine is a Defender 200 TDI, mated to an LT77 transmission which was fitted previously to a Discovery 200TDI which I scrapped. The pin which depresses the clutch fork is passing...

Hi All, Looking at fitting polyurethane bush kit to a 90 rebuild. I'm fitting Discovery 1 axles to a new Defender 200 TDI MAER chassis. Will the Discovery 1 kit in the link below be suitable or do I need to buy a Defender bush kit (if they are different)...

Thanks All, advice much appreciated. Will get some pics up shortly. Truck now fully disassembled and new chassis getting delivered over next few days and will commence the build. Thoughts so far, an enjoyable experience, they really are hobbyist vehicles and I've been surprised in that not all...

Hi All, Does anyone have experience of repairing the inner wing panels that attach to the inside of the headlight panels? Mine are rotten and it seems from what I can see that you cannot purchase these without buying a complete wing assembly. Appreciate any advice anyone can give on purchasing...

Great, thanks.

Excellent thank you dag019.

Where on this thread am I ignoring the advice of others as you state? What do you find strange? If I wanted advice on welding I would ask for it but I do not require this hence I have not asked for it. I work with upwards of 70 ton of welding in my vocation on far more complex stricter than a...

Thanks v8250 I have indeed already created a project plan for the restoration.

Thanks V8250, I have indeed created a project pl Thats great Dag019, great feedback.

I sure have V8250. I have direct access to engineering and fabrication through my vocation. Thanks

Thanks again FP. Any advice on a single source company for all of the rubber seals, screws, fittings, brake lines etc? I figure it will prove easier to just place an order with one company for these items, rather than have multiple orders with a myriad of companies. I've been advised to shop...

Yes, covered in initial post.

I'm not doing the restoration for "investment", I'm doing it because I fancied restoring a Land Rover I found abandoned. Not sure if you know, but we we live in an age of £200k Land Rover restorations and there is nothing that the companies that charge this amount of money for those...
