92a

Mike from “Brittanica restorations” has done YouTube videos of changing the o ring and I’m sure people on here have managed it in situ too ?

Pictures?

I have taken the plunge and got the newer plastic type ( series 111) steering wheel, The horn push button fitted ok and the indicator cancelling ring did too , I had to clear the holes for the screws and for the cable to pass through, I will keep the original one as a good spare

Hi , does anyone know if the series 11a and 111 steering wheels are the same? I realise that the 111 has a blank not a horn button and I’m not thinking of the earlier one with metal spokes , I have one of the old ones that “melt” when it is wet and have been offered a later plastic one that I would like to use, Thanks

I’m also very impressed, I would love to be able to things that myself

Stainless steel would be great 👍🏼

The thread is 1/8 npt

If anyone wants to start making ones like Simon made, I will be first in the queue, I gave an EGR blanking plate to an engineer friend but he just tapped it at 45 degrees and it looks awful 😢

Yep , still happy with it, just bought one of Vulcan Bomber’s ones for my other 200tdi powered Land Rovers

Defender mods and travels did a good YouTube video about this, “Defender disc handbrake product review - a flawed design? How to make it work properly” also tells you how to get the (JCB) pads for under a tenner

Steve Parker does a kit for this , it is expensive but worth a look at , if only to get some ideas 💡 for a neat solution? just Google SPCK224A,

I was also surprised how hot the air gets once compressed by the turbo, boost is about 0.8 bar , the boost is nearer 20 psi on my 200tdi and the pipe to the intercooler gets up to 150 degrees on the same run but always has a lower maximum EGT ( standard pump reconditioned by CJ Diesels )

300tdi Defender 90 , I have a sensor tapped into the EGR blanking plate , that reading was after a 70mph run up the M25 slip road at J8 for Reigate, a long steady climb, I replaced the injection pump recently and it had been opened up by the previous owner ( on this forum too ) The other reading is the temperature in the pipe going to the intercooler

I took this yesterday, and was wondering what the maximum “recommended” temperature was

Look for “Britannica restorations” on YouTube he’s just done exactly this in one of his videos?

How about fitting an EGT sensor and a boost gauge ? only need to be temporary ones just to see, I just put the tube and wire through the vent flap on the passenger side

I’m sure that dumpers etc have an oil pressure switch that has another terminal so until the pressure is up they will not start , could you run the solenoid supply via one ?

Been thinking, the glow plugs don’t have a timer like 200 and 300 tdis they only come on when you turn the key a bit further from the second position but before it turns over

I’m sure your one will fit , and the lt77 knob will confuse any inexperienced thief as Reverse will be in the wrong place

The one nearest the bellhousing gets the gear stick bolted to it and the other one is the diff lock / high low and just gets the knob straight on it

The chassis is the original chassis(not the one in the picture) I am sure from the state of it it’s not had any welding ever as it’s very rusted , if I can get the v5 I’ll get a galvanised chassis and just keep the bit with the old VIN on it as proof of identity ,

Blimey Mossberg , I cut up a better chassis than that last weekend 😢

Yes to the pedal box plate and the chassis leg is just rusty no sign of any grinding or welding and guy seems genuine , got a copy of the DVLA letter I posted and an invoice from him with his address , if necessary I will get send the vehicle back and get a refund, I will have a go at cleaning up the area just wondered if there was any better way than the wire brush to bring the number out

I don't know? I'm letting the seller deal with the DVLA, who have asked for this information, it has not been on the road since 2011, below is a copy of the DVLA letter , I've covered the bit with his name and the registration number out of courtesy, he sent all the pictures except the chassis VIN, hence my original post, I have never had any problems with the V62 process before maybe they are still "working from home" ?

“V5 available” in the listing, but it’s been a while since it arrived, I don’t think the seller is pulling a fast one as the VIN plate is there and looks like it’s not been interfered with, but if I can’t get the V5 I’ll send it back ,
