  1. great thankyou for the update
  2. Jason...any news on these please
  3. any guides or pointers? looks a right balls ache to get to all the bolts
  4. sales of goods act, take it back...not your problem, you bought a defender reg. abc123 not a q plate or a re issued plate
  5. shame, i have an old 110 that would look good with the split doors
  6. i thinks its good engine. td5 arent cheap when they go bang or fill them selves up with diesel or crack the heads or the dowls melt or the fuel pumps go........ the early gearboxes have had clutch issues but again the LT77 isnt the strongest and the engine does put out some decent torque specially when remapped. having done 40,000+ miles ...34,000 on a decent remap and de cat its very much a better vehicle than a td5. Love these people who quote the pub gossip as facts. 2.2 is even nicer apparently.
  7. Are they being made? and what about the removable top sections for the second row doors?
  8. mines not here otherwise i'd measure it. lovely combo with a remap and a decat
  9. over boost has not yet kicked in...hence its not over boosting!
  10. if its a later electrnic fuel pump you can retro fit the manual pump and tune the engine a bit. they go real well when tuned. alot faster than a manual. I have a 200tdi auto D1, its the best combo LR made IMHO.
  11. tdci is newer, so less rusty....potentially. better dash, ventilation,abs system, fuel economy and when tuned properly make a decent drive. td5 prices are high, this happened when the old 300 went out and the td5 came in. i'd say nows the time to buy, no snow. lots about...and there still in production so p/x's still coming through. i've owned both. tdci is better IMHO
  12. oh ok, i thought they put a substance / grease on the numbers to keep them clear. did you stamp yours afterwards then?
  13. Ok, will either company put your chassis number onto the chassis prior to galvanising? it would be nice to be in there
  14. tbh £36k for a car these days isn't that expensive un fortunately. i quite likr it. would wait for the better engine and gearbox though. but i'll stick to my company car nd my defender
  15. so whats the difference between the 200 and a later td5 / tdci chassis? rear x member, what else? i've found a later td5 / tdci rear tub, will it fit on a 200 chassis?
  16. depends what you want to notch i guess. roll age tube and under, down to say 1". so 2">1" over that its easy with a piece of paper and a grinder and under that use scissors
  17. interested and interesting! yes cnc table with notcher is a great idea. i'm interested if this is a possability.
  18. oil in the ecu plug. also fiddle with the blue loom connector and see what happens. if you prime the pump, ignition on and pump the throttle pedal 5 times and she'll run and prime.
  19. on shipping....not as a business as a whole i'm sure . called a loss leader.
