Thank you.

So bit more done ordered some ali off ebay 3mm cut to size and shaped them myself to make some floor plates , then assembled the rad frame and installed that , it's not fully tightened down yet as got a few other little jobs to do but I wanted to check fitment of the gearbox oil cooler ...

So as we've caught up things will slow down a bit now and I won't have to try and remember what I've done so here goes , so new exhaust and a larger intercooler and new rad were ordered . Exhaust was brought from Regis exhausts on ebay , he was a very helpful chap laying them out to check...

Yes here’s the inside ( cap removed) it appears to link the wires of the same colour , I would say a main wire from the fuse box then links a few things to it .

Yes it’s a header got one on mine .

My wiring loom is out of my project on the shed floor , it’s a 300tdi 90 , so I’ll have a look for you but I think it’s a header .

I was always led to believe from reading a few chassis swap threads on various forums, that when you’ve fitted a new chassis you can take the paper work to a garage (legit one ) and they can then stamp your chassis number onto the new one and then your supposed to cut it out the old chassis...

No you haven’t missed em mate , don’t think I’ve put them up hahaha . So plan is to make it more efficient and better at heating and demisting , instead of the hot air running along the inside of the dash the plan is to rework it so the pipes go from the heater box to the dash vents so no...

Thank you all , so apart from a few minor bits this post brings us up to date . So as you all may remember I'm fitting a auto out of a Disco and the only solution that I know of for a center console to fit the shifter and such into a Defender is the one from Ashcroft's , and although it's very...

So on to some more fab work and modding , first up is the wiper my view is it's pants so after watching project Binky on youtube were they modded a mini's wiper system which is the same as a Defender's , I got to thinking and talking with a few other peoples on another forum and set about trying...

Thank you A1203 , unfortunately I haven't only the one above . I got the machine shop to do it while they where washing and checking the block over as it wasn't costing me any more , just a thought did you replace the piston rings ? If so did you put them in the correct orientation ? as I think...

I used this this video There’s also one from the same bloke showing you how to make the jig This will explain how to do it better than I can , there’s also a few other videos on YouTube explaining how to do it . Don’t know if it will make any difference, will have to wait and see .

Thank you.

Hi John , thank you yes it is very involved , the YRM panels are very good I made my own just to see if it was possible and because I like making work for myself :D . I looked at buying a new tub and to be honest all the ones I saw had corrosion in the same places as mine or were a lot of money...

http://www.expeditionlandrover.info/Lucaswirecode.htm. Try this to identify the wires , although some colours did change through the years also bear in mind that if it’s been hacked about as bad as you say the PO might have used any old wire , hope this helps .

I’ve just repaired the tub on my rebuild made the panels myself and moved the tank to the rear there’s pictures in my rebuild thread In the members vehicles section, Ian’s 90 300tdi rebuild , if you have a look and have any questions I’d be happy to help if I can . cheers Ian

Hi all , next installment is the re assembly , so first up fuel lines fitted , next up tub re-fitted , access hole for fuel sender was in the right place , that was a relief . then a new chassis loom was made and fitted . Next was the bulkhead . next the steering was installed Next...
