Paddocks get them delivered to themselfs then dropped off on their Yard unloaded with their fork lift truck then carried 3 at a time I think into their warehouse then as they are sold they fork lift them onto the Customers / Currier's vehicle, my guess is they have dropped it somewhere between it being unloaded in their yard on arrival from marslands and it being loaded up onto the Curriers truck destin to be delivered to you, so it's Paddocks fault. Personally if it was me and lived in the U.K. I would drive there and speak to someone, I understand with emails and phone calls they seem a bit layed back but when speaking to them face to face they are totally different bend over backwards for you and really do pull strings, but that's me as I hate phones

Yeah I will just loosely tie them to stuff in the engine bay

Fitted the accelerator cable this morning before I started making some room in the garage for the stove, test drove it and its seems ok just need to gable tie it back as I have run out od cable ties but i will sort it on Monday

Just made some space in the garage for where the stove is going when I get it tomorrow as I have two choices as to where its going but bother area's are pretty close to each other so I have made enough room to cover both area's, can't wait now

Got given the day off today so as I had nowt to do I decided to go on eBay and order 20 Hotties heat logs for £20 ready for when I get the stove up and running. what ever you do don't google Hotties as you will get burnt

The engine has been in and running for about just over 4 months now and when I had the engine on the bench before hand for another month or two that is when I checked it so the first chance I get I will re- check it but pretty certain there was none to little movement back and forth and none up and down

The guy did show me the conversion stuff a flat tank about 2'-3' square probably would fit between the chassis rails and some pipe work, there was a T piece screwed into the turbo that I would need to remove and fit the fitting from the other engine used instead, the shaft in the turbo feels ok with very little back and fourth movement and no up and down movement hence why I was thinking it was a turbo problem but tbh I don't no anything about turbo's

Hi guys During last summer I bought a Disco 200tdi engine from a Land Rover breaker and fitted it into my 90 the engine it's self was fully rebuilt a few years ago and came out of a Discovery rally car, never here'd of such a thing but assume he ment a comp safari truck, anyway the Disco 200tdi that the engine came from was fitted with a gas conversion assumably LPG but not sure but since I fitted the engine I have had the FIP and injectors recon'd and the engine runs ok but feels slightly under powered through the gears than the Def 200tdi engine this engine has replaced but I know the Def engine's FIP had been tweaked to the max, with the FIP on the Disco engine being still under warranty I don't want to mess with it and tweak it and as far as I no the FIP has been set to top end power and just wondering if the Turbo could be at fault rather than the FIP, the reason I am thinking this is if the engine has had LPG or what ever running through it could the gas Damage the turbo over time, what do you think

1, Fit the later type flat roof 2, Get a pair of glass van sides fitted 3, Fit a pair of forward facing rear seats 4, Fit the new bulkhead we bought a while back 5, And in between all this get the 2a done

I know it's not the same type of Machine but my son has just bought a carpet cleaning machine and whilst shopping for this Machine he showed me one on eBay that is sat in a frame on rollers and is designed for loading it into a van. the way it was made the back of the frame was angled to lift the back of the machine over the edge of the van floor the back is on rollers aswell so once the back of the machine is rolled over the edge you then roll it in the landy. as you are a welder could you not make something like that to help get it in the van. or a small winch and ramps is another idea. hope this helps

Ha ha that's what is on it now

Its days like this I wish I had my stove in the garage, stuff to do and too cold to do it

Well I was going to do it today but its just too cold outside as everything is Iced over and I can't get the 90 in the garage with the 2a being in there so it will have to wait till my new Crystal clear headlights arrive and if the weather is better I will fit the both then

With the oil seal make sure you buy one with the oil seal fitting tool stops the inside lip flipping over the crank when fitting the housing back on with the seal fitted to the housing

Fitting it tomorrow weather permitting

Happy New Year everyone hope you all have a great, I'm in work tomorrow worst luck

When I get it I will use smokeless logs as I just don't have anywhere to store natural logs

I just keep to the PCL ones mainly as we used these when I was in the forklift game and the spannering game back in the 70's and they seem still to be very common, the only thing I don't like is that some of them leak but I would amagine they all will eventually no matter what make

Just ordered it now cheers

Mite be worth checking all the main earths chassis to battery, chassis to engine, chassis to gearbox just mite need a good clean up

Are right ok will get it ordered now, cheers

Hi guys Long story, recently I replaced my seized up accelorator cable 2.5TD ( Disco 200TDI ) when it went stiff I was pretty close to Land Ranger ( Middlewhich ) so I removed the cable and walked over to them and bought a new cable, now when I showed them mine all there cables inc 2.5TD / Def 200 / Disco 200 was all longer than the one I had all the same fittings either end so I bought the shortest one but when I came to fit it the cable although too long was too short where the adjuster goes through the bracket and the end of the cable fits the FIP so had to cobble something up to get me home 30 miles away so I need to fit another accelorator cable and not sure which one I need, the 90 had a Def 200 in it by PO and I have since fitted a Disco 200 but used the original cable that was fitted when I bought the 90. Any idea's please

Hi guys I got a Beige coloured T shirt with Land Rover Defender 90 on it a plain green T shirt with the Land Rover emblem on it. what did everyone else get this year

A few pic's of the rear of the garage outside which is where I want the flue to go

And this is the second place I was thinking of putting it as its in the corner, again the shelving will need to go or moved altogether aswell as everything on the floor, what do you think
