Managed to fit the snail and left wing. Started fixing the battery tray and air filter carrier before the rain arrived.

Another summer passed and still Noel is going nowhere. Such a busy year. In July I started to overhaul the snail heater The heater matrix box was nice and quick The snail however was a pig and my time was required for other things But eventually, this afternoon, I finished reassembly!

Looks better than Noel on arrival!

Restoration Will be 5 figures And that's just parts 😭 We do it for the love of land rovers. Not for profit. Was looking at a basket case rescue in the summer. Shell, engine and logbook. Then common sense got in the way and I remembered Noel was still waiting to be completed 🤣

Stick with yrm. Quality company making quality parts.

I've managed to get a new old stock from P A Blanchard. So hopefully it's of good quality 😃

Out of interest, what is the life expectancy of a britpart replica?

Think you might be in the wrong sub forum. Discos are way too modern for us series owners🤣👍

Found this very useful. And now I know what the springs do😀

I think so 👍 I just wanted a loom than was not a fire hazard 🤣

Re reading the blurb, braiding is an option, not as standard.

Definitely not braided, I'd say wrapped in tape. As for connections, they don't feel cheap and nasty, but as far as their origin of manufacturing?

Give me 5 and I'll get some photos

I see where you are coming from, but I always look at it from the viewpoint of can I make it as well for the same money or less? Plus you are paying for the convenience factor. I'm also guessing they are using experienced operatives who these days are in short supply for this type of skill and...

Got the full all singing all dancing loom from auto sparks. Still trying to find time to fit it. Seems a quality product for a fair price. Put it this way, it would cost me triple in time and money to make it myself. My only complaint is that the wires are not labelled. Colour coding is fine, if...

So, I've taken the motor apart. I don't suppose anyone knows where the two big springs go?🙄 I can see that I need to replace a brush spring 👍

So c'mon, did you get your wee beastie running again?🙂

I'll give it a try.

Thank you. I'm trying to test the resistor before I reassemble the casing. I've still got to buy a new motor as the old one is kaput 😕 Well, I've tried it on a 12v supply and it doesn't move!

Hopefully reassembly commencing today. Just a thought, how does one test the resistor without a volt meter? J rig a bulb and see if one wire makes it shine brighter than the other? TIA👍
