Nothing in the inspection manual about the reflectors exact angle etc. The lights you've got fitted are type approved so you'll be fine leaving them as they are.

Temperature switch fitted in the top hose. 36mm generic sensor adaptor with a 1/8NPT temp switch fitted. On at 95°C, off at 85. Not been out for a drive yet to get up to temp but hopefully isn't set too high.

Not if you take them off! Dings and dongs make up most of the noise on the Series anyway.

Have you considered these for recovery eyes? Recently fitted a pair to a Series bumper I'm making and much prefer this style. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124268447604?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=rSl3nfSyTMG&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=U2nMiYq4Rv-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I'm nearing the end of my build now, (separate thread but missing bits towards the end) so just playing around with finishing touches. Long story short, before I took ownership, the 109 was owned and maintained by my Great grandfather and after him by my grandfather, both using it as a recovery...

Couple of hours out and about today and good improvement. Placebo or not, the engine seems slightly smoother at idle. I can't imagine even an unbalanced fan could do that though. Temp needle stuck pretty much bang on halfway on the N, rising to just the top of of N at time before settling...

So why not order a pack of 544337? Get the thread pitch from those. Depends how much material you've got left in the chassis to re tap, might need to use an insert.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of that type of bracket... :D

Why not fit a standard hose type connector but recess it slightly but cutting a hole and making a small box behind.

I've taken the original fan off and will keep it in the back for emergencies, but will see how it is when driving around town the next few days before fitting the temp switch in the hose.

Evening all, A few photos and brief description of this job. Reason: 1. There's a noticeable difference in engine performance when cold and found if cruising at 45mph in rain/cold the coolant temp stayed very low. 2. I do go off roading and through the occasional ford, so needed a means of...

I can't be the only one thinking you're an idiot can I? I appreciate the romance of doing a big trip but you need to either buy a Landy and just get on with it, or get a girlfriend.

The bit about the cat?

@V8 90, many thanks.

Just nuts, bolts and gears. I'm sure there are places out there that would do a great job, but I'm not sure I'd rake the risk again. I'm lucky enough to have access to ramp and a full workshop, but if I'd have been paying a garage to swap gearboxes each time I'd be in a much worse place.

No, I've given up on them now. I've no confidence he would ever supply a box that's been properly refurbished so I'm just going to cut my losses and rebuild my other spare in my own time. If only I'd known that in November I could have done my own by now for half the price.

V8 90, thanks for the reply. A picture would be great if you don't mind, but I'm sure it'll be the sort of thing I'm after. I'm heading to Norfolk this weekend, need to paint the fence at my place in Pott Row so can arrange a time to pop by? I'll drop you a PM now

Movement up and down or side to side?

A bit late now but why the rush to remove the cracked screen? Not an MOT problem, could have just made do until time suited.

I was agreeing with Lordy about the original style, don't get yer knickers all twisted ;)
