Well ordered a 300tdi service kit acouple of days ago and arrived yesterday and then noticed the fuel filter is different. So after initially thinking they had sent me the wrong kit i did a search and found out that my set up is wrong so just ordered the propper today so waiting on posty in the next couple of days

Nice truck, keep it looking original
With all the chequer plate inside does it not sound like you're sat in a drum kit? |

only drove it up street once as it was out of MOT when I got it so don't know yet hopefully all welding will be done underneath for MOT until I can afford a new chassie but if it is too loud it will be coming out

UPDATE 8/7/12
Well after starting the service I realised that the threaded bar which runs the length of the airbox inside is U/S so I need anew airbox Couldnt change the fuel filter as there is no where to attach bracket too as PAS bottle is in the way so may need to move PAS bottle. Basically anybody know of anybody breaking a defender 300tdi? Took rear xmamber off as it was only held on with one piece of weld on each leg so will be grinding that back then going to have my first bash at welding putting it back on. Pictures to follow this evening |

People working on Land Rovers is never boring
You're a braver man than me, though 
The wiring loom for the rear lights and door electrics does pass through the length of the chassis, emerging just in front of the rear cross-member.
