  1. £250 for an early TD5 one - with most of the dash included. I couldn't afford to have it galvanised at the time so covered it in waxoyl.
  2. I recently got one from John Craddocks; it was spot on.
  3. Why not just your heater out? That said, I'm thinking of fitting a heated front screen and seats - I'm getting old!!!
  4. I might have the 110 they used for the test!!
  5. Can you let us know the exact cost as this could well be my preferred option.
  6. Is that £3k all fitted or just the motor? If you need a quick turn around then £3k might be worth it. However, if you have the time and resources buy the short and do the work yourself.
  7. We had the same when the wife stripped the wiring out and forgot to label any of it. However, once you start to plug the blocks together it will, in the main, all come clear. Then it's out with the volt meter.........good luck.
  8. I saw an article in a landy mag a few months ago that stated that the original CSW was on a 100 chassis - it had a shortened rear end.
  9. My temp gauge also says that the engine is too hot. However, having bought a infra-red themo gun I've established that the temp is actually between 82 - 90. Have you checked the earths from the back of the clocks?
  10. If you're intent on insulating why bother stripping the hammerite off? At least you know that it is well protected and if you use spray on evo stick glue it bonds well with the hammerite. I used the aluminium bubble insulation stuff from B&Q.
  11. I was faced with a similar dilemma - in the end we got a set (fronts and middles) TD5 doors that were shop soiled from Craddocks for £700. We transplanted all the parts from the old to the new ones, and still managed to sell the old ones for £90!!!! Have a look on fleabay and try to pick up a set that you can repair.
  12. That's great - so I only need the front hubs. Also: callipers calliper brackets
  13. Many thanks - I won't be bidding on a set of disco axles then....
  14. Are disco stub axles and calliper brackets the same as defender ones? I've seen a disco rear axle with discs and was wondering if I could transplant the relevant parts. Bearing in mind mine is a 110 csw.
  15. Never seen a warning light panel like that before - where is it from?
  16. Check the wiring as it could well be a poor earth.
  17. Do I still need the spacers if I buy those brackets - if so why?
  18. I'm watching this with interest - I'd like to go the factory route but don't want to spend much money. Due to the latter, I've only got the disks and pads so far. Therefore I need: Brake calipers Caliper brackets 200tdi Stub axles and??????? lots of advice!
