I've been really busy with the harvest but I have been tatting around when i've had chance, got the spare wheel swing carrier on and a bunch of little odds and sods:

I will be ordering a sound proofing package from Colin at Sound Deadening Shop (www.deadening.co.uk), he has a good discount for landy forum members and if you're on the fence because your not sure what to buy or it's too expensive... give them a buzz Thumbs Up

I went for:

2 x Silent Coat 2mm bulk packs
6 x Dodo Pro barrier (floor)
1 x Dodo Superliner 6 (roof)
1 x Silent Coat Buffler (bonnet) 1993 200 Tdi 90 CSW

I've not made any progress due to having to get a wine store finished before the first hard frost of the year. So I've brought a bunch of parts... plus a set of 5 16x8 et20 Staun Outback TX-1 alloys Very Happy

They need some tlc but that'll have to wait until next summer, i'll get some pics up tomorrow Thumbs Up 1993 200 Tdi 90 CSW

My dad had to fab a bracket for the locking mechanism as it wasn't functioning properly, will have to do the same on the other door too

Good old britpart, the 3 mounting points weren't straight and one of the threads was damaged, had to get a scaffolding pole on them to get it straight

Click image to enlarge


Ground down the wheel nuts to compensate for the unaligned mounting points as it was too difficult to bend them the correct amount to align it, the nuts are 22mm and the lug holes are about 23mm!

Got too dark for me to take any good pics but hopefully i'll get you guys some next weekend Thumbs Up

The TX-1 alloy lug holes are made to very low high tolerances, not the easiest alloys i've ever had to work with for sure! I do really like them though.

I'll probably put these Scorpions on Nakatanenga ANR Classic Steels if that group buy happens and put some 285 insa turbos on these. 1993 200 Tdi 90 CSW

I've had a bit of the black dog with my 90 as I had to leave the project for a while due to a promotion, then when I came back to it, it was one after the other for a while:

White smoke on the exhaust - fitted new head gasket and ground in the valves
Noisy power steering - fitted new power steering pump and brought some BFG 235/85 KM2 to go on the wolf steels and Michi Cross Contact 235/85 to go on some boosts (for the winter)
Broke the exhaust - fixed it for now but need another one
Brakes failed again - fitted ANOTHER new master cylinder

I think the fuel pump needs a little tweaking but all seems well (for the moment), taking it into get MOT'd on Monday, wish me luck Rolling Eyes Rolling with laughter 1993 200 Tdi 90 CSW

I think this may be a common problem with the swing ways, My dad has the same problem by the looks of it, he found out when he tried to put the spacers for the alloy spare. You want to see the state of the alloy wheel, my mum went off it at him! The wheel is brand new and never been on. My dads scratched the alloy to hell! Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Did you find out what caused the head gasket to fail? Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Not really sure, it looked like the original head gasket?

I've fitted the wolf wheels with km2 tyres and 30mm spacers
