Changed injector harness and rocker cover gasket since finding oil in the red plug.
Didn't take too long, the started to swap out the intercooler for an Allisport one.
That was fun, especially tight on the passengers side for the jubilee clip!
Took about 4 hours in the end thanks to Land rover using 6 & 7mm hose bolts! Very amusing in tight spaces. At one point I was going to empty the AC and take at off for access.
All back together and went out for a drive around, feels much better low revs and seems to take less throttle to get to speed. Very Happy

Also tried the waste gate and this seems stuck so will have to get that done. Big Cry 110XS CSW TD5.

I picked the load mat up off Brendan at the Harrogate show, in the pic was the nakatanenga under cubby box and USB ports Mr. Green I also (finally) picked up the first lot of closed cell foam today for the floor of the 110 so I just need a good dry day to get on with getting the back tidied up and finished off Thumbs Up

Got wheel spin.... Shocked

first time on tarmac for me, turned right out of a side road onto a fast very wet road and floored it and it just flew. could'nt have done that when in manual for, think i would have run out of 1st by half way across the road.

it did take me suprise as I have never had wheelspin on tarmac before. BM52

That's what the right hand pedal is for Rolling Eyes I can get mine to squeal a tyre or two when pulling out of a junction but that is mainly due to a shift in bodyweight lifting a corner as you start off. Years ago in a farm workshop I used to work in we put a Mazda 3.5 turbodiesel in a 90 truck cab and with a gearbox from a V8 we could still get a bit of wheelspin in third Shocked Novelty wore off after having to rebuild the gearboxes and replace halfshafts though.

I'd imagine our friends with highly tuned Defenders probably spin wheels quite easily then Confused BM52
