Should have taken the turbo off and fitted it as a 20di like me.....once fully warm and on a run 40+png. Looks so much more tidy under the bonnet and in keeping. And its plenty fast enough for a cart sprung landrover.

Check the head and manifold faces for flatness....you using a new gasket?

If you go to far....you will know....the engine will be knocky underload....retarded pump timing usually gives lots of blue smoke on idle and slower rpm when cold along with a mis fire......or if very retarded all the time. Make sure you scribe a line before starting so you can go back if it...

Tyres should not contact the body before bump stop do there job. Not sure how much experience you have with old land rovers..but even with paras....you have to slow right down over these bloody road humps or the back end with take off. Are your shocks in good order and not to soft? Nick.

Can take a lot of juggling.....and verring the angle between box/engine.... Yes suppose you could fit the plate back to front...no idea if the pressure plate bolts would go fully home if you did....the plate is marked front. I have an old gearbox 1st motion shaft for aligning but with eye you...

I got a set of old LWB 109 rims....more offset than defender rims so to me look better. I fit 205x16s on them....tubeless..been on well over 20years.
