My son turns 17, so I have some time left for that! 😉

Your not wrong. The first scrapper I bought for my own is now my sons 🤷🤣😜

No comment.

I love that color! Well, I managed to plug the trailer socket. Aparently it s too much to ask for normed cables, e.g. for standardized 13 pin sockets, to adhere to a color scheme. At least the pin usage is common between providers... Anyway...

Not mine but a beautiful 1990 300tdi in for a front wheel bearing. The wheel is literally ready to fall off👌😎👍

Maybe some earth issue at the coil, previousoy, there was some weird transistor ignition, and I tried to reconnect everything the way it was ehen that was removed by my mechanic. But then even that was not original, and now the fuel pump is...

Yep, including a new earth main between starter and chassis. Most likely I mixed up some wires somewhere. Has to wait until this afternoon, back to work it is... And I mean a paid day job...

Re your starting problems, is the engine and starter physically connected electrically to the chassis and battery negative?

The fuel injection pumps have way to much pressure. An alternative would be a Red Top Focet pump. Those are inline so, I have one in the engine bay on a 3.5 carb RRC. Works great. Not sure if that setup works on a Disco 1, it should so, as the...

So, tied everything up. Connected the 13-pin trailer plug, but didn't put the left tail light back in in the dark. My dad is staying until tomorrow, he's the wood person, so he'll put the camping stuff back in the trunk (place for the spare tire...

Today way better: The indicator lights, fog light, front and tail lights, warning flasher, they all work. Indocator lights were tricky, the frint right hand one had weird wiring issues... Luckily, I had some spares! The tailgate wiring is now...

True that! Found some heat-protective tubing that is also used as a general wiring protection. And it is much cheaper! We'll see tomorrow, if I ge to the point of testing and the test is successfull! Fingers crossed, because I found a set of...

Forget th3e metal tube, use plastic, much safer in the case of wires chaffing.

Remind me again, cats sleep. A lot! Turned out that picking up where you left before a three week vacation, and a night drive back home, is a bad idea. The horn is installed (bolt one), the diff switch retainer around the gear lever is installed...

Whatever I do today, I have professional help!

Only works until the big parcels reveal small items! I did tell her that I can use the parts I don't need when I'm finally done. Which actually is the plan, so if someone needs a RRC steering column, let me know!

No. No i haven't. Would you have any idea whereabouts it might be? I searched for the fuse box a while ago and failed to find that! Oddly enough when i was holding the ignition key in crank position to feel if the battery terminals were getting...

It did this a couple times since Christmas so i bought a new starter motor. After having to change the clutch slave cylinder flexi hose on the Saturday, and then having the slave cylinder fail the next day, i got a new one and fitted it the...

Apparently, almost all the stuff I ordered beforw and during our summer vacation, ehich is ending tomorrow unfortunately, has been delivered. My catsitting dad was so kind to also take delivery for that. He just told me that it looks like...

Legality aside, yes. J

the s1 belongs to my dad.. whats his is mine and whats mine's my own, right?

Of course 😉

Presumably you do a lot of off-roading and trailer it with your Series 1 Landy?

Bypassing an egr with a dpf fitted is not a good idea, i think. I have the 4.4 tdv8 with dpf deleted. Of course i don't drive that on the road because that's dangerous and illegal. I don't know but presume the dpf has had a sister delete but I'm...

As promised before and after piccies

If you can find a replacement axle you'll be fine. Parts for Salisbury axles are available. And there are great tutorials on YouTube. Britannia restorations, Mike, Covers a full rebuild.

My dearest wife paid for the RR to have new roof lining fitted today. Picks to follow tomorrow. Looks 100% better now. :banana: :banana:

Let.me explain the whole story: the guy that sold me included this diff in the deal, because he was planning to remove the welded diff. I plan to Change to this "regular" diff because I wont BE doing any hardcore OffRoad, so i do not feel the...

This is a reasonable thing to do, keep it road safe and pass MOT, do the the necessary work as it comes up. Might end up with a bunch of stuff to be done at once so. But yeah, those nut and bolt restorations trnd to never be finished, cost a lot...

I honestly think this is the best piece of advice I have ever read or heard anywhere, and I wish id had someone say that to me when I was in my early 20's. It's what I've done with my 90 for the past 10 years, and what I should have done with my...
