92a

Mike from “Brittanica restorations” has done YouTube videos of changing the o ring and I’m sure people on here have managed it in situ too ?

Pictures?

I have taken the plunge and got the newer plastic type ( series 111) steering wheel, The horn push button fitted ok and the indicator cancelling ring did too , I had to clear the holes for the screws and for the cable to pass through, I will keep the original one as a good spare

Hi , does anyone know if the series 11a and 111 steering wheels are the same? I realise that the 111 has a blank not a horn button and I’m not thinking of the earlier one with metal spokes , I have one of the old ones that “melt” when it is wet and have been offered a later plastic one that I would like to use, Thanks

I’m also very impressed, I would love to be able to things that myself

Stainless steel would be great 👍🏼

If anyone wants to start making ones like Simon made, I will be first in the queue, I gave an EGR blanking plate to an engineer friend but he just tapped it at 45 degrees and it looks awful 😢

Yep , still happy with it, just bought one of Vulcan Bomber’s ones for my other 200tdi powered Land Rovers

Defender mods and travels did a good YouTube video about this, “Defender disc handbrake product review - a flawed design? How to make it work properly” also tells you how to get the (JCB) pads for under a tenner

Steve Parker does a kit for this , it is expensive but worth a look at , if only to get some ideas 💡 for a neat solution? just Google SPCK224A,

I was also surprised how hot the air gets once compressed by the turbo, boost is about 0.8 bar , the boost is nearer 20 psi on my 200tdi and the pipe to the intercooler gets up to 150 degrees on the same run but always has a lower maximum EGT ( standard pump reconditioned by CJ Diesels )

300tdi Defender 90 , I have a sensor tapped into the EGR blanking plate , that reading was after a 70mph run up the M25 slip road at J8 for Reigate, a long steady climb, I replaced the injection pump recently and it had been opened up by the previous owner ( on this forum too ) The other reading is the temperature in the pipe going to the intercooler

I took this yesterday, and was wondering what the maximum “recommended” temperature was

Look for “Britannica restorations” on YouTube he’s just done exactly this in one of his videos?
