Is the core a standard replacement or a hybrid ?
-
No moving parts so should be ok.

Browsing pics on the net, they appear to vary in height by at least 10mm between one discovery and another !!!!!!!
Typical LR QC or lack there of.
-
Are you talking about the square ones or round ones for the bolts ?, on know the rear square pads near the fuel tank were adjustable on an RRC but not on the D1 and mine dont reach the body anymore.
-
What model turbo is it ?, most of the VNT's from VW or BMW need to have the actuator replaced with one that works on pressure and not vacuum.
-
Get the head hardness/ crack tested and if it passes then skimmed and valve heights set.

If i had the cash, did it in 93/94 in a DAF truck but would love to do it in a landy.

This is the pinion shaft - notice no shaft wear, but the inside of the throwout bearing sleeve / pivot fork arm is completely rooted.
I have a feeling this box has been rebuilt more than once, and this wear may be from a previously failed pinion shaft bearing or a failed spigot bush in another flywheel.
Dodgy as all buggery this is, so I can tell you the R380's getting a teardown as well as the LT230.
btw CW, this R380 came form a '92 2 door rossignol disco1 v8. perhaps this is why the output shaft differs to your TD5??
92 disco would have been an LT77 from the factory not R380.

In North America all the V8 Discovery 1s had the rubber coupling.
Same in AUS, i swapped mine to a uni shaft after the 3rd coupling shredded.

With my fat clumpy fingers ???? an angle grinder of course! LOL
I thought that you had a template for laser cutting but your design looks a lot simpler than i expected, looking good.
-
How will you be cutting the steel, looks like some laser cutting is required.
-
A double cardan is only required for over 3" lifts, overkill for 2".

They come up on local gumtree regularly and go for not much coin, mostly ex ambo bodies off a ford F150/250 cab chassis so might fit a 130 ok.

The later swivel housings AFAIK have neither a hole for topping them up or a hole for draining them which means you are really stuck if anything goes wrong
My 98 D1 has a fill hole so i just added 150ml of 90 diff oil to what was left of the one-shot grease, no leaks after 10years.

I built a simple frame from alloy tube and made the slide from the same tube with gal steel rods for the fridge to sit on, i used a couple of 125kg rated ball bearing lockable slides so that once is slides out it locks in position as well as locking when closed. Have since added carpeted plywood to the top and yet to add a couple of drawers in the right hand side.
The tube and fitting are from the hard ware and just push together, quite sturdy but i added rivets to help hold it together.

What , my ancestral home is full of landy murderer's , wont be going there in a hurry

You only need to re-cut valve seats if you need to skim a lot off the head, there are minimum stand down heights for the valves.

No firm has bought the tooling, there was rumours someone wanted to but they were false.
They are looking at making a brand new vehicle, based on a separate chassis, modular, utilitarian.
I'm fairly certain that to make a Defender pass type approval would be tricky to say the least nowadays.
Ineos is a chemical manufacturing company, a very, very large one, looking to move into the automotive market.
Interview is only 4 minutes long, worth a quick listen.
Tata should move the tooling to India and start production for 2nd and 3rth world countries.

Pity, the OME shocks used to be made in Adelaide by Monroe for ARB.
-
Get it crack and hardness tested and if it passes go from there, plenty of people get away with a light skim and reusing the head.
I did this to my tdi head and all good after nearly 20k.

I went to a property here 18 months ago where the owner bought up all the spares that the Aus Army were offloading when they went to Land rovers for their vehicles, he has crate upon crate of new diffs, gearboxes and transfers, engines all wrapped up in greased paper and crated in transport ready crates.
He also had at least 12 complete vehicles in various states of neglect and running.

looks are purely personal.
But what makes them a POS?
Just the look, the lines are horrible. Ford got it right and Mazda went the opposite way.

Hopefully the V6 Rok have a bigger oil cooler for the auto, been out on a few night time rock crawling trips and we constantly had to stop for the 2 Amarok's in our group while the auto cooled down.
They do look like a good unit.

Must be an EDC model since it has fault codes.
