Tidied up the rear end getting rid of the plough of a towbar and rear step before laning tomorrow, and wire brushed the flakey paint and soil from the chassis and shoved some buzzweld CIO paint on the most part, recommend it great stuff! Looks a whole lot better than before, will see it...

That the one in sibbertoft? That was my first ever off roading trip in the D2, took me half an hour pressure washing the chassis rails till they finally drained clean :)

Its just a push over fit, might be worth swapping the line completely to see through type, but long as you got the length its fine so long as it stays a tight fit when you replace it and tot says may need some encouraging, I changed mine to hoses and put clamps on for easier chopping and changing :)

That's an awesome job, good Idea with the wrap that's probably saved you a lot of time took me forever! I've gotta get mine out and redo it I've scuffed it all up so much it looks naff!

Yeah you're right wouldn't take as long as Paul describes to fire, less they're totally shot which wouldn't likely be sudden

Sounds like glow plugs to me! Or similar, will be back later if someone else isn't already :)

Spent all day grinding the most of the surface rust off the front end of chassis up to where will be cut out, but only managed about half the job in that time, its come up nice so far and there's no spots that need any more attention than a coat of the chassis in one paint I ordered from...

To second @neilly 's points, couldn't recommend dynachip more along with the EGR delete and Decat, massive massive difference!

Rusty, but looks pretty solid from here! Depends on whether you can be bothered and monies involved

a tad academic then... :O

They'll be able to fix their own range rover velar with those A levels! 4 A* that's immense, do they have any sleep?

My dads mechanical knowledge extends as far as starting up a lawnmower :D

Gotta do it! My old man gave me my S3, all 200 quid of it, it'd been sat there since I was too young to know what it was, but I always wanted it, we dragged it out the hedge and now landys have taken over me life, long as they appreciate it ;) Was one of those days! :D

@harveyw97 Good to see a fellow series owner of young age! I'm not alone with these muppets :D

What a sexy interior I want it

If there is the slightest amount of air getting in there it can still run fine, very very small amounts of air won't stop it, but can stop it starting once it builds up. Check thoroughly around the pump body for any bubbling at all, often when the engine is running a tiny air leak will show up...

It was there when I bought it, but not secured, tis probably on some motorway somewhere! I keep putting off fixin the leaks /:

Adding to last post, that cost me 400 squid for 1/2 chassis, rear middle cross member, and front dumbiron job by, 1/2 chass was 300 odd, and its great quality, welds are snazzy, except the paint is s@#£ :rolleyes: Saves me a grand in my eyes! For the front all I need to do its pull off some...

:rolleyes:

@harveyw97 Most chassis will only need major work on the rear since the front usually gets a nice smothering of oil, tis what's happened to mine so I went with buying a half chassis that gets rid of the whole naff end in one go leaving only a bit of de rusting at the front to do :) Plus the...
