I've been buying a few bits to stockpile so I can get all the work on Red done as quickly as possible. So far...
Allisports;
Full size rad and intercooler
Oil breather
Header tank
Power steering reservoir
Full SS exhaust system
Rad/intercooler frame

I've bought full silicone hose kit.
Ordered as many seals as I can think of to stop water ingress but have probably forgotten loads.

RS Sports gauges;
Rev counter
Boost gauge
EGT gauge
Fuel level
Water temp
Oil temp
Oil pressure
Clock

New Garrett turbo from Turner Engineering

More cargo tracking from Mudstuff
GMB Fender locker which will have an airline in it

Brake discs and pads

At first I wanted a 2" lift on it. Tried to justify it to myself by saying the 110 needs it for approach/departure angles. The truth is although I'm "offroad " every day, its greenlaning at most. I just liked the stance. I've decided to leave it standard height... I think! Confused

I'm going to knock up a temporary workshop this weekend because my proper one has got all the bits in it for the black 110. Plan is once I've sorted Big Red out, the new chassis will move into the new workshop and I'll rebuild Big Black in there.

I will take some pics and post them up! Thumbs Up

Finished the hard standing for the new workshop yesterday. I had started it for something else but convinced the misses that I had to have another workshop. We're in agreement that once the work on the Defenders is completed, I'll turn it into an area for BBQs etc. (I didn't specify how many Defenders!)
ARB Compressor turned up today. Very Happy

So, I got stuck in mud twice in one week! Embarassed
On the the second occasion I snapped the link for the transfer box operating arm.

The way I see it I have two choices...
No#1 need new boots, air locker and winch. ( that's what I'm telling the misses!)
No#2 replace part from other block

New boots it is I reckon but think I'll fit a twin battery set up before a winch is purchased. Yesterday was spent fixing the hi-low transfer operating rod that snapped at the yoke.
Out with the seats...

Tunnel off. Note the position of the link! Totally off!...

Here's the snapped part next to the one I nicked off the other 300tdi.

Switched round, greased up ready to be connected. Then fitted, test drive and happy days.

While I had access, I fitted the slick shift I bought from Mdm here on the forum. Dead quick and easy to do and Holy S*** what an upgrade! I'll be fitting one to any other Defenders I find in my ownership. Whistle

The rest of the day was spent sorting some electrical gremlins out.

Today I'll tackle changing all discs and pads and anything else I can fit in.

Pads and discs were fine so no need to replace them, no worries cause they'll go on the black 110. I took the time to get some soundproofing in and fit the ARB compressor in place, I'm not going to connect it up till I've put the twin battery setup in.

Twin battery setup ordered today and... new boots! I'm going from 235/85R16 to 285/75R16 (Goodrich All Terrains) . Before I put them on I'll be painting the wheels satin black. Before and after pics to follow. Very Happy

Finally got round to fitting the new boots, waited till I'd picked some new rims up off Shroppy (cheers pal, pleasure meeting up 👍).
