  1. Lmfao its deffo green just now it has been blue at somepoint judgeing by the flakey paint though. I never thought of tcut on it being proberely origenaly painted with a paintbrush an roller To be honest I was just gonna repaint it to tidy it up the beds a bit rough too pannel wise its tidy enough just the paints not been prepped very well by the look of it never washed it in two years so maybe ill run it through the jet wash when its built back up ?
  2. Hey guys what color would you say my series is? I think its bronze green and cream. Either way its well faded but thought id throw it out there and see what you boys think
  3. I dunno tbh it seems to have a good bite pulling away but its anyones guess without a rev counter really Im Livingston outside edinburgh. Got the top of a 200tdi fuel pump which appears to be a bosche ve style aswell so just need some way to attach the vac line into the inlet and hopefully im in business. Another small goal today got a ifor williams canopy relativley cheap for it gonna take it to a vw show next month and camp in the back
  4. Good shout never thought of that I got my brother out to help when he got in from work. The pedal on the floor the arm on the fuel pump hits the limit. It does look like its adjustable so I dunno if its maybe been moved at somepoint. Put that on the to be researched list on the white board haha I have however found the pipe thats missing and it is indeed snapped clean off the fuel pump and the inlet manifolds snapped the same yay So now searching for a fuel pump top plate with the magic pipe attached. Chucked a couple pics in incase yous are interested ?
  5. No rev counter as its the s3 dash but I was planning on running a few extra gauges as its just the speedo that appears to function aswell. Is there a easy way to add one?
  6. I had looked at the throttle as it isnt 100 percent at the bulkhead. (the sleeve is not attached properly to the bulkhead) The cable its self is a custom job its a long ball type thats been welded captive into the pedal. ive not anyone free to work it so I can observe its function but it is tight at both ends. Ill try get somone to help today. Air pipe wise im not useing a intercooler atm so theres not much to see however after a ton of reading on the isuzu forum I think there should be a vac line to the fuel pump which there isnt so im awaiting confirmation to see if its a unusual fuel pump of if its been bodged. Fuel line wise theres nothing ovbiously kinked so im assumeing thats fine. The tank was drained 6 months ago when the engine reinstalled and first fired. I remember it being like varnish so I may need to clean the pump and injectors out. It had a new filter at the time and has had new diesel then and before test run. Tires are 7.50 x 16 all services semperit brand. They look pretty normal as landy steels go. Whats the oe size as I realise this will have some effect on gearing. Sorry for the mammoth post
  7. Right guys ive tried it in L N and H in L you get a ton of power but no speed N theres no drive at all and H ive had 30 out it but its fairly flat. I think is the issue is power related I didnt know what the box should should do its loud inside but I dont think its running out of gear Cheers for the input guys
  8. Recintly got my series running after what seems like forever off the road. So first impressions wow its loud inside ive never driven a series or defender before so I didnt know what to expect nothing bad sounding just loud. Its a 4 on the floor box in it and is supriseingly dry inside. Its however not perfect... Shocker I know lol Its capible of a blistering 25/30mph atm which dosent seem right. As im new to the classic game ive read the bulkhead plates and I was using it on the road in H and ive tryed pushing the yellow nob and theres to be no change Ive been reading in the isuzu forums about the engine and I think theres a vac pipe missing from the fuel pump thats causeing the poor performance. I guess this is hello and be prepaired for alot of questions hahahah
  9. Whiteboards are awsome I realise i have too many projects and am not well enough organised. But bang a few dozen tasks to do one there and you start appreciateing the fact that you are getting stuff done. Warm, dry, radio, mate, good tools and a chance to use whatever your plugging away at will make a difference.
  10. Yeah i have man the best way to describe it is the actual linkage brtween the stick and the pear shaped tab on the transfer box has too much play and isnt engageing drive properly again ive got a short video of the movment on the linkage to give yous a idea as i reckon it knackered bushes on it. Ive just rolled under and managed to knock it back into gear properly and its drives perfect agAin. Ive also compaired the defender linkage and its miles different from the one on the disco. Right for some reason photo buckets not likeing my video but ill try and figure it out when i get in. Is it comon for these to wear out? Cheers ebo
  11. My low ratio on 31s is a bit fast but honestly it goes most places with ease in hi drive
  12. This explains alot im onto full speed only and hot air when it wants (crusing @60) soon as you slow down it gets cold again. Im guessing the thermostat jammed open but im due buying one
  13. Hey guys my disco struggels to disengage from difflock to normal drive leaving me with the clunking on full lock. I was looking at a mates spare tbox from a 300tdi defender and it seems to have a pivot point thats bolted to the side of the caseing that allows propper movment of the difflock gearstick. Now he donated the linkage to me and i cant find the bolt holes on my 300tdi. Will they deffo be there or do you think this is a defender only thing? Cheers ebo
  14. Im likeing this as well did you buy them?
  15. Thanks for the input boys ive got my mate looking out for a 200 rad. Im from just outside edinburgh in scotland so cooling shouldnt be too much of a issue ill just need something to hold water lmao. Itll mainly be used for short road journeys / towing with a few days a year spent up the bing so shouldnt ever be under too much load. You guys got alot of experience with the isuzus? I bought it to replace my 300tdi discovery I cant wait to actualy drive it as its been getting bits n bobs done for the last three months
  16. Hey guys ive been trying to find out whats best to use in place of the rad out my monster. S2 chasseys s3 body and isuzu lump mated to i assume landy gearbox. To be honest it looks like it was someones prodject and it came into my mates work to be crushed and i bought it back its a galvy body and chasseys and the isuzu lumps knackered. So basically repaired the lump but the rads totaly shot and im needing a replacment. Any help or suggeations would be greatly appreciated
