Wow, that is a nice build, what a good job.
That is exactly what I am after, but I am probably going to do the build myself. I don't have enough funds to buy and pay for restoration.

The rear mudflaps are held in by captive rivnuts. Bit of a pig to replace and you need a rivnut gun. Pretty cheap.
Pm me if you want any further help with it |

Hi folks,
I am new to td5 or even Land Rover diesels, my last restoration was a V8 3.9.
What are the pros and cons of removing the egr valve?
Sorry if it is a stupid question!, |

Just a few questions.
From 2002, am I right in saying that the newer engines were installed?

I just found a roll cage that will fit standard canvas hood, plus with removal of the seatbelt mounts on the frame, I could reinstall the truck cab if the cold got too bad!
It would just require a ... |

I have a similar problem with my defender. It's a 59 plate 90 xs 2.4.
