2004 Defender 110 Td5 DCPU Epsom Green
Got a few bits done last night as well. LR seat rivnuts arrived too, well I should say rivnut. The ebay listing said x6 though one arrived. Can't say im best pleased considering the next available delivery date is bloody Tuesday! That said one has been fitted.

You can see why I want the corner protectors, I don't like that you can see the seam!

While in possession of my mates very expensive rivnut tool I thought Id get on the the wing top plate. Chose rivnuts as I want to be able to remove the plate in the future when I fit a KBX Hiforce intake, yes it will be just for show but it looks nice! :p

Did give it a wipe down with some GUNK traffic film remover, the epsom green is just such a nice colour when cleaned up!

Much better!

Used stainless socket heads on the other side, to keep the black/stainless theme going

Got more stainless bolts en route for the other side too. Also ordered the SP LR stainless door thresh/carpet retainer for the rear, looks so good in the front the rear had to match!

I tried out some G4 Scratch Remover and bloody hell I'm impressed.




Close ups, roll over damage is practically gone!

I did get a bit carried away and ended up doing half the car... Used a waffle sponge with a drill attachment, then jet washed it again with a Karcher spinning brush attachment (which is fantastic for cleaning, It's really quite brilliant), dried it and waxed it with another drill sponge. Got to say I'm bloody impressed with how it came out! Going to do the rest of it this week!

Continuing with the G4 scratch remover and some polish! Did the other side last night

Click image to enlarge


Forgot to take shiny pics Embarassed

Refitted the acoustic cover to the engine, been a LONG time since I've had one of these fitted

Click image to enlarge


Going to leave it on for a couple weeks see if it actually makes a difference in noise levels....

In other news the second row/rear stainless carpet retainers arrived, currently not fitted as my carpet was wet :rolleyes: so letting that dry off first.

Brake master cylinder also arrived, genuine LR as described, or at least as far as I can tell...

Plus off to France off roading in a couple weeks! Bought a new SLR Lens for the occasion! :D

Big update! Fitted the SP LR stainless door threshes all round, a lovely improvement. Sprayed the rear with two coats of acid etch to stop and potential galvanic corrosion


Click image to enlarge




Then it was off to France for some off roading in the sand! Havnt got that many pics as the day was fraught with breakdowns, mainly springs dislocating and one blown diff (mine Whistle )





One mishap!






Well recovered though, with no damage.




Click image to enlarge


Both shot out the rear!












Video from just after my front diff blew, I thought the bang was a spring relocating Sad





Does make an awesome noise though Cool Smile

Remains of the diff -

Luckily a had a spare diff sitting at home! and the splines/shafts/CVs where undamaged, all repaired and running now Very Happy

Sadly I did have a couple flat spots when at max revs in 2nd, turned out to be a tiny boost leak at the EGR blank where I tapped in my boost gauge! All solved now thanks to Jose at TD5inside! Who also retuned the 110 for an uprated MAP sensor and a little more power (only a bit a promise Whistle )

Early estimates put it at around 195bhp and 460nm torque (to be confirmed on a dyno soon enough)

It really does have bundles of torque and almost zero turbo lag. Its brilliant!

Did a couple bits over the weekend.

Cleaned my rocker cover with some plusgas and scotch brite, came out rather well I think!


Click image to enlarge


And insulated all my A/C pipes with some pipe insulator from B&Q for all of £2.50 and a roll of foil tape for £3


Click image to enlarge


Not exactly pretty but it has made a difference! The A/C is actually cold now but does need to be re-gassed!

Main issue is LR in their wisdom thought it would be a good idea to run the A/C pipe so close to the main coolant hose it actually touches! There is more than enough space in there to have to pipe run away from the coolant hose!

Had a brilliant weekend out on the Salisbury Plains! The 110 did brilliantly with zero faults bar a cracked headlight, that I JUST fitted!

Not many other breakages either, a Disco blew a diff and the other Disco blew the HG on the way home but thats it.





110s first wade! I went rather slow as no snorkel...










Check that flex!



Fun in the mud





Not been this muddy before!


Nice pic Very Happy


Testing the water


Wasnt even the deepest point -


Very deep water (same as above) so we attached a safety line to my 110 just in case, it was needed.


No smoke no poke!
