Well it took a tad long than I was thinking but she’s done and on the road now. The IVA was nowhere near as bad as I’d thought. Failed the first time on a few bits but passed the week after. It got issued a new ViN and ended up on a Q plate, I’d have like to keep its original plate. But such is...

Cheers , there is a tee there just the leg looks like it has a plug in it. I’ll connect it up. Thanks again

No it’s a 200tdi so hasn’t got one

Few updates and pick your brains. Biuld is coming on. Slow going but I altered the winch bumper that I’ve had on her for years. The body need a 50mm body lift to give more clearance for the other transfer box. So the was a gap from the bump top to the grill. And I had to extend the width...

Thanks for heads up lads. It was just a bit air in the end. On the top copper pipe from the front callipers where they join the flexi pipes. Air was trapped there on both side.

Yes front callipers are the two pipe ones. There’s plenty fluid comes out when you bleed it. But still no peddle when it’s nipped up. All I can think is it’s a faulty master cylinder

It’s odd. It was like that before I started the build on the old motor. I just assumed it was the flexi’s etc. Pedal goes right to the floor. I’ve pressure bleed it. And bleed it with the pedal to and no difference. I’ll blank the back two callipers off just to rule that out

I’m on with the brakes on my build. There’s literally not pedal. All new calipers ,brake pipes and flexi pipes. And I can not get a pedal. So got a seal kit for the original master cylinder. But it was still the same. So got a new master cylinder (britpart) and it’s still exactly the same...

I’m on fitting the wings up before I paint them. I thought I’d have ago at making extended wheel arches rather than bolt on ones. I’m intending the change the discos category from M1 to N1 llight goods. The rules for the IVA are different for N1. M1 the arch has to cover the tyre. N1 it has to...

I was thinking that. But I think I read somewhere just to put them on one end. I was thinking also about putting a rose joint on the axle end and a Johnny joint on the chassis end. But I had a look about and there wasn’t much on a setup like that

Well I’ve sorted the last prop out. Got a 1480 series yoke and shortened the stock disco rear. Tacked it up in place using a DTI and mag mount. Seams ok but might get it balanced yet. I’ve still got some nee trailing arms to make. Im going to use bushes on the axle side and Johnny joints on...

I bought one of ones of eBay. Listed as fitting 200tdi. But it didn’t. They must be a 300 fit. The veins were a different shape and hit the housing by quite a bit really. I ended up marking it up with blue , and put it in the lathe and turned it out Then the oil return was a different fitting...

Yes they nip up tight on the ball and the carrier moves freely around that. These are m22 ones from McGill motorsport I bought the spacers for them on the axle to pack them out. They aren’t expensive. And I turned some to suit the existing mounts where the A frame would go

Ch Cheers

Hi folks. My build is coming along. Slow at times but I’m blaming that on the pub being open again. I rebuild the engine, Box and transfer box. And it’s back in and running now. Came up with a plan to use a newage 1:1 transfer box to get the drive to the back axle. Wasn’t sure at first. But then...

A Ah yes. You star I remember now. I wouldn’t have slept tonight. Thanks

Hi all I’m on with a build and have been rebuilding the engine discovery 200 tdi. And box. Lt77 s suffix H. Needed room before I strip transfer box. so I’ve bolted them up and put the in the chassis. But. when I’ve been tidying up I’ve found a part ☹️☹️ I can’t remember at all where it’s off...

That’s good to hear. I’m hoping mine will be the same

Yes I’ve ordered them. I wish I had known about turners in the first place.
