Well, after a few Years in the wilderness I’ve returned to LandRover ownership - this time it’s a 2010 Discovery 4 HSE, like I don’t have enough grief in my life!
It has some, errrm, issues to address - AC is fubar, brakes are interesting, the...
Cut it off and bash the new one in and weld it on, if you have the one with the reduced tube size.
I would support the tub with a jack and piece of wood when removing the bolts.
Don't weld galvanised metal as its bad for you.
As reported elsewhere the mini has been all tuned up on a rolling road. :)
Horrendously expensive (£562) but the results seem to be good. It really does go well now.
What did he find wrong?
1. Incorrect coil (he reports that it had a "points"...
Oh oh, I decided to reseal the LT230, whipped off the sump to find this:
I guess the bits I found in the R380 are just incidental...
Will need to strip it down to see if any other bits in the box are nadgered...
Have you measure the gap(door opening)
On both sides of the motor?
Have you measured the doors?
This will tell how much you need to make the drivers side larger

This has been in a collection for decades and has never been on the road in that time.
The speedo is showing less than 100 miles. It is in amazing condition and surely the best available.
It's had an MOT although it's...
Yes I agree , I intend to use a 12v linear push pull solenoid , these can be of various power and speed rating , hence asking if anyone had used one , I will be producing a bracket for it and I'm sure it will take a couple of solenoids to get the...
Apologies for the delay. Grommet hole is for the wiper spindle. The bolt is the rivnut to prevent the motor turning.
If you require any more or specific measurements let me know as I have the blank door atm.
Believe it or not I have only a couple on the phone. You will have to wait for some others when I get them off the camera.
Just the two of us today, a first timer came along in a 200tdi 90, said he enjoyed the day and would come along again...
The B pillar lower sections were not in great shape:
The spot welds make a nice popping sound when the fail. It did feel brutal and running the slitting wheel that close to good bodywork did raise the stakes. The wooden wedge idea came from...
Don't touch the boost on the Turbo, the way the VGT works need a lot of setting up to get right and the 300tdi really doesnt need more than 15psi.
Altering the fuel screw will give you an immediate effect,
Unscrew it by 1/2 a turn and see what...
Earning its keep today, yanking out some bushes. Ready for some block paving because obviously I need more parking 🤣
Made short work of it, low range pulled them out just over tick over
I never went more than 16psi.300tdi ran a large charge cooler instead of intercooler.
Keep fiddling but you could get to a point where things get very hot quickly.
That’s a lot of parts now installed and unknowns rectified. I’ve record of the cambelt being done - previous owner seemed to keep ontop of it so I’m content with that.
Cooling didn’t seem bad - my temp sender is in the stat housing so think it...
