Rebuilt the master cylinder , not to difficult, just needed a good clean and reassembly . Then got to fabbibg up a mounting frame and straps for the fuel cell from bits of an old boat trailer and left over flashings from the house https://hosting.photobucket.com/c873f5ea-bff0-41bf-a4a0-a526f3f59900 ...

Brake work next Some bling (LWB Vitara vented routers to suit the calipers all ready up front) Also made a start on the master cylinder . Love the quality of the build on these old parts , feels good bringing them back into service again. Looking like just a good clean a reassembly is all that’s r ...

For those interested , the hours of work that never gets seen .

Let’s just say the wife was less than impressed with my project arriving home .
Something about a pile of junk.

Hope you have a can of rank pink for the G16 ,
pics of the the other zuks ? At least you can hide projects at work !

Measure your current Mags. Half rim width minus the measurement from matting surface to rear of rim will give you your current offset . Diameter of the rim is irrelevant it’s the width that matters . Once you know your current offset you can decide weather you want the rims to stick out further (neg ...

Surprising amount of old timers still lurking though.

Wof time for my 30yr old beater

What I know about vs what I get pulled up on

Surprisingly often not what you expect .

Holy Grave Dig This old archive just saved me a auto rebuild . R50 QD32 Eti Auto New Pump New fuel filter . Auto was not changing down when Accelerating from a cruise . Normally present when trying to overtake on a passing lane ie 100km accel up to pass. engine would limit rev @ between 3-3200rpm ...

Nice to see a project on here

Inspires me to work on my junk .

Keep up the good work .

The motor went to a good home , and has put the right LR heart back into my 110 . Really nice engine it purrs like only a Tdi can

Have you tried bypassing the key barrel ?
Key start signal to the ECU might be intermittent .
I would also be checking he engine wiring harness for shorts to ground .

235 85 16 tires should fit on a rim that fits a 750x16 , same size tire essentially just a bit wider

Heaps of second hand ones on trade me

So the day I’m supposed to be going on holiday my diesel specialist has just informed me that at some point my injector pump has had a lung full of water resulting in the need for a very expensive full rebuild . So I’m looking for a non ecu , ideally non egr manual injector pump for a Landrover 2.25 ...

The factory oil seperator cyclone system on the landrover 2.25 turbo diesel Drians back to the sump without the use of a one way valve .

But is plumbed in below the oil line in the sump to prevent sump pressurisation or oil blow back up the drain line . Seeems to work ok .

Any updates on the old beast fash?

I see your looking for a g13b , did it pop from too much time on the rev limiter ?

Was a great wee truck , a lot of epic memories

I fully endorse LR spares as well . Awesome service and Rex always goes out of his way to make sure the part you are after is right . Lots of options on what quality of parts you are after ie aftermarket , OEM or Landrover Genuine . Personally I won’t bolt anything britpart mechanical to my buss and ...

Hasn't Muddyplumber's 3 door disco got the yellow Camel trophy paint underneath the green? Yep, that's right. Engine bay and any hard to reach places are still Sandglow paint... was obviously a very nice truck once upon a time. A shame to see how rough it's become and underneath the yellow it was ...

So if your rope normally gets bunched up are you not concerned with the minimal clearance between the winch and the fan?

Nice fab work , but the winch / fan clearance is a red flag for me as with even a slight even rap of the rope it's going to hit / break the plastic fan

The G16 vitara front diff will fit into the sj413 & samurai housing . From memeroy they are 22spline , so to fit to the rear of a SJ you need to change the side gears to 26spline . Also the vitara Carrier is alloy and a lot weaker than the SJ steel carrier . The best option is to use the vitara ring ...

One is the temp sender the other should be a temp switch for the AC fan One should short to ground at a certain temp the other should change impedance ( decrease ohms ) as the temperature rises. From memory the vitae's uses a different impedance range to the SJ and most use the SJ sender to get full ...

They look like good kit and I have heard good things about them. You weren't tempted to get the ATB center diff while you were browsing Ashcrofts site? Dunno, I didn't quite understand the point of the ATB centre diff?? Ya want it to unlocked on the road and locked off the road?? It makes sense to ...
