For £10 you might as well use it. Why do defenders always seem to break when money’s is spent on them
 hope you get it sorted soon. Ray

Every time I have said I am going to get wheels, something always goes wrong or the budget is needed else where.
I have bought a few things from Mud to bling up the cab a little, with it been a motorway muncher, I want to have some little things in. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back Success is 90% Inspiration and 4 minutes Preparation # you can make it! |

I found the middle section be a bit of waste of space, when you could use it for either tools, or for other items. Shame you cannot get anything for the other two areas.
Also today I fixed the diesel leak, only took 30 mins all in  Looks like someone used a cheap pipe for it to fail like it has done, as the olive looked too new. I triple checked everything and gave the system a prime. It fired into life with out the smell of diesel and seemed to run a lot happier for some reason.
Still got a lot to do though, my dad said I should bang it in for an mot, and I said what? with a exhaust that's practically ready to drop off! Also with the mot tester picking up on the 306s tyres, this fellas going have a right laugh at these! So looks like I better get the replacements on well before the mot.

Well a good section of goodies came today, and I thought mint! while the weathers nice I will crack on with a few things.
i have came a cross another bodge, the seat belt buckle has been glued, and come off so another fix
 Click image to enlarge Next up which I thought was the seat belt replacement buckles. Turned out to be my speakers!! I did think very hard about these. So I thought to hell with it and buy them, As I had only one working speaker, and even then I think one was about finished. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge the old and finished units. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge All installed Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge All have 3 screws in at the moment, but i think its the head lineing shape thats preventing me with the last ones, but that will be looked at again. as i still need to testing and also i will be replacing the headling at some point too. These really do weigh a bit! But are well built! Also the centre storage area, now i need to get the changer down to have a check, but here is the storage in place. Centre seat Click image to enlarge popped up the base Click image to enlarge Now i thought i was going to have some right trouble with two screws as they were well tight! But i took my time and to make not to make a mare of anything, These all whipped out with out a trouble. The plate was double sided tapped down too! Shame these were part of the loom as i would have loved to have un plugged these, but i cable tied them out of the way. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge placed the replacement base Click image to enlarge i may screw this down or i may M3 tape it down after i do the changer system, So thats sort of stage 2 now of ICE install. Also Interior upgrades! Old coin/ ash tray thing Click image to enlarge Swopped over with a later Land rover unit?? Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Also a mud console holder thing Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Just to neaten up the area, and also a coin holder, One word of warning, with the mud console thing, you cannot move the passenger seat further forward as the driver side seat anymore, due to the cup holder fowling Click image to enlarge Also the little holder does fit in the mud holder with its grip but not really 100% secure for my liking, i recon a sharp bump of a speed bump and i recon that may pop out. But it looks neat anyway.
Still got a few bits to do, like the exhaust, and i will be ordering my tyres off tomorrow! Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Bare in mind that the YRM tray is likely to get pretty hot from the transmission and your CD changer might not like it.
Also, that plug is your diagnostic socket. What it does is pretty limited on a 300tdi but if you're going to keep it down there then you really need to protect it from the elements. Personally, I'd route it inside somewhere. Darren 110 USW BUILD THREAD - EXPEDITION TRAILER - 200tdi 90 BUILD THREAD - SANKEY TRAILER - IG@landroveranorak "You came in that thing?

I may move it back in with the changer unit, I have tested the changer yet to see if it fits. The diag port is practically worthless to me, As not many garages can read these around my way. The YRM tray is going to need some work, so I may look into something that may reflect the heat. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

came to a major stand still last night, who ever has been at the seat belt mount before me needs their heads kicking in, as they have put it in on the
 , So it was a real pain to get the bolt out. Can you get replacement seat belt mounts for the chassis? Looks like the captive nut is bent
On the plus side the Changer and Radio work! The changer wont fit in the tray that I hoped so its back to the original Idea. But the tray stays anyway as I can still use the space.
