This is perfect advice!! Your chassis may be clean on outside but if it’s dirty on the inside on the weld area you will end up with fireworks down your sleeves and weld contamination. This may end up with you chopping out a tad more than you wanted to but worth it and necessary. EDIT - replied...

How you getting on? Dippybud is referring to the end of sill to bottom of wheel arch tie in panel, it’s a bit t of a fiddle to make. Froggats sell them. I was jammy and picked two up second hand that never got used. You tie them in at bottom of arch then weld the circle to the side of the mount...

Tried being so gentle and one of the long pump bolts still snapped in the housing. Nearly lost my sh1t then remembered I had a spare that’s in much better nick. Swapping over to the silicone hoses I have, proflow pump, waxstat, Nissen rad. Hope to get her to that magical 300k without opening her...

Cheers. Cooler etc as per list all on interest too mate

I’m interested in the top half of it I.e. all the gearbox gear if you could send some pictures. Could you also give a location of where you are? Thanks

I’ve all dewalt and did consider it but I literally only use for my vehicle UJs!

Ordered a tidy looking old wanner off eBay. Thank you 👍🏻

That’s a toy 😂

The silver line one I got is rubbish. I don’t want another bit of tat. Can’t warrant a fancy leccy one. Happy with manual but want one that’s not a flimsy POS. Thanks

Will all installs require a CPS installing somewhere? I know MS worked from a trigger wheel…

You’ll know far more than I - I’ve still got lots of research to do. Last car I had with a dizzy was a good 10 years ago and that was jap and very reliable. I’m putting a v8 into a 300tdi disco. I do have a v8 loom but I wanted something easy and updated. The yanks seem to love the sniper on...

I’ve done a bit of research on this of recent. I was going to go megasquirt but am now leaning towards either Holley sniper 2 or fitech for my build. I don’t want to be messing about with maps etc. I just want something that self learns and had it’s own intelligence. Have a look at those mate...

It is yes 👍🏻. Interested in a vnt when I do a freshen up but think she’d need the injectors and pump doing first as on 245k 😂

What are standard tdi internals and the Bosch pump pairing good for John? Assume they’ll run 1.5 bar all day? We obviously have to keep Egt etc in check.

Always have to hunt out ‘g’ parts and even then it’s sometimes hard to find certain bits or they’re ridiculous money if they’re G. Thankfully, Land Rover parts are a lot cheaper than jap or premium German. But, do they break more so it evens out anyway? 😂
