So your supplier sent an alternator with no pully?

For a 65ish year old bulkhead that is not at all bad. Door pillars have been done before as those are series 3 type. Better because they have clips for the wing bolts not captive [ usually for ever ]nuts, different but can not be seen once the wing is on. They can be replaced again. Foot well...

When it comes to value of older landy's a lot depends on the condition of the chassis and bulkhead, at least it does to those who know them. I presume IOM has MOT's ? Can history be checked?

Given you had the wrong pins then the pads may well be wrong as well.

Good luck sorting the issue.

Hi John, Probably not the best place to ask here as we are mostly owners of the original Defender and previous models on this forum. JLR should have given the D300 another name as it has very little in common the old model and having the same name causes confusion. Cheers from another John.

Bearings and bush's yes. Chrome repair another matter although minor pitting by filling with an epoxy resin and will last if done right. [well prepared clean surface.]

Only one pic of internals.

Water level sensor is a good mod. Head Gasket leaks usually result in pressure in the cooling system but can go other ways

Do see no reason why disc has to be removed. I learned how to do it using what was had at the time. A Land Rover Book manual and a spring scale of the fishing type.

If swivel pre load is out then thars your problem. Note that the 3-4 kg pull recommended above is with the large ball housing seal removed. It is just a trial and error job swapping shims until set right. Each time the pin bolts have to be done up tight. I bend the brake pipe bracket out the...

See the black arrow head symbols in @Dorset_dumpling's diagram above ? They are the earth points and will be on the body, chassis or engine near the item they are earthing.

The hole where the exhaust gas comes out or air goes in from manifold.

The leak to the exhaust is likely only to get worse over time. As a short term repair [ months] you could put in some rad sealant, like Kseal [other makes available] Advertised as permanent repair but in my experience that is not so and will give up eventually. Be careful as 300's are not...

Just out of interest @D1Nut but where does the name "welsh plug" for what we call "core plug" come from. Cheers.
