This one is way better. We have overhauled pretty much everything and haven’t cut corners. I called up this evening to drop off some parts and heard it for the first time. So much nicer to the last, deeper tone so very happy indeed. Just decided the tip position which is pretty much standard, got the new header tank in and new pioneer brake lines on so should be back on the ground by the weekend which is a big step forward. Don’t even think I am going to badge this one up with LS3 etc. Go under the radar.

Coming along nicely now. Badly needs a nice cover for the LR ECU.

That’s all the coolers fitted. Comes up to temperature nicely and just idles away with no concerns. Plan to get it onto the wheels again tomo, moved over to the other side of the workshop and wings back on. Then we can get better access to start on the inside.

Great work there Andy as you say, coming on nicely I hope it's just me, but keep an eye out on the header tank level window as after some months went by i was losing water and it turned out to be the bit of plastic they use was cracked / split. I did get a couple of replacements, but they also cracked / split, so that is why i don't have my header tank on any more Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge  1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up.

Thanks for the heads up, will definitely keep an eye on it. I actually didn’t really want the window but it was the only one I could get in a hurry. Andy 2014 Fuji 110 SW LS3 https://www.defender2.net/forum/post751233.html#751233 2014 Corris 110 SW http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic40056.html My old Xtech 90 build.. http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic15681.html LS3 V8 build... http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic49051.html

It’s the go to setup for the guys that do the conversion in hotter countries but I just thought I would be prepared for when Ireland has its next heat wave  Andy 2014 Fuji 110 SW LS3 https://www.defender2.net/forum/post751233.html#751233 2014 Corris 110 SW http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic40056.html My old Xtech 90 build.. http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic15681.html LS3 V8 build... http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic49051.html
