Hello All,
Thought I'd begin the thread early before all parts are in my hands. Got a few things to iron out and discuss before I get going anyway. Part List Winchester Gears TDI R380 w/ 5% taller 5th, HD Bearings + Cooler Winchester Gears 1.2 TDI Transfer Box w/ ATB Diff DW250iL Universal 250l/h external pump Ashcroft Adapter plate LOF 300tdi Clutch kit Speed Hut gauges (Eventually) Loom from Pheonix Engine Mangement (Link Extreme ECU) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will slowly add to this thread as time goes on but it will be somewhat quiet for a while as I'm only purchasing parts and or making them at the moment.  4.0 V8 Defender 90

Made up a design for my fuel sender mount in the td5 tank
Thought I'd save the monies making one instead of using a standard LR item Will be using a length of corrugated plastic piping as the return feed It'll be just two 9/16-18" for the plumbing which should be big enough to feed the pump the WEMA sender has a standard SAE 5-hole pattern - Which I haven't seen before (Its split by 72 and 68 degrees... not a PCD) please make any suggestions as I'm no mechanic but do just have some engineering back ground

I've seen a few that'll fit with the standard hole size and black/ white theme, just the illumination is an issue at the moment.
Wema do their own, Duratec seem fine too at a similar price. both have black bezels too. And plenty of other aftermarket brands available. I don't mind spending the time to find the right one for me. 4.0 V8 Defender 90 My Instagram |

Bit of a photo dump of my weekend by weekend progress...
Nothing fun or exciting - just stripping the engine down and rebuilding the top end. Still got to wait for Winchester gears to confirm an order for the box and TC. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge 4.0 V8 Defender 90 My Instagram |

Likkle more progress made this weekend
I polished all 32 valves lightly, just cleaning them up and making the surface much smoother. Also lapped both heads too, that was fun… (still somewhat satisfying to be honest) Now my next plan or task is to source the loom and ecu, then we can get the engine running outside of a vehicle Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge 4.0 V8 Defender 90 My Instagram |

Some goodies finally arrived.
Got the ECU/ Loom being sourced this month too. After that, in march I will be purchasing the adaptor plate and 2.8TGV Clutch. Then we're ready to take the car off of the road. Click image to enlarge Can't get over how good all this looks, Quality looks billiant from Winchester. Such a shame I won't be able to see it all when its in the car. 4.0 V8 Defender 90

Tidy! I still can't believe the R380 is longer than an M57 BMW gearbox but it obviously is as my bulkhead will testify
