    Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how far bqr has come alone. From being an almost novice just tinkering on motors, to engine swaping and fabbing shit up!

      @@boqer123 If you ever get MT tyres I would recomend Yokohama Geolander MT G003 tyres(285/75r16 is 27.25kg) as they are as light as a BFG KO2 All Terrian(27kg), even lighter than a BFG KM3(29kg) and have sipes as the KM3's do not, making it a good overlanding MT tyre.

    That oil filter sprays oil in those jets whilst it is spinning and it helps separate the carbon from being pumped around the engine. The ones i change in a Scania engine, the filter comes apart in pieces for you to scrape all the carbon build up out of.

    Nice 110, excited to see what you do next. Changing that grill was the best thing, all you need to do is change the headlight and indicator cover back to standard now haha. If you plan on doing anything remotely wet you should really check all your breathers, the front and rear diff, there are ones that come off the transfer box and gearbox. You can buy kits which allow you to bring the hoses up to the engine bay. Also in land rovers great design on the td5 the ECU is pretty low in the drivers seat box and will get wet well before the engine will take on water heh, worth checking it's water tight, people have been known to put them in tupperware boxes for peace of mind!

    Andy, if you approached anyone of the specialist Landy parts people, Craddocks, Paddocks, my local one is the LR Centre Liverpool, TD 5 service kits are far cheaper, change the wheel nuts, and Embleton Imperial do a super super led light kit for the dash clocks, but I suggest ringing them and asking to include an extra unit for the speedo as they are a sod to fit, I Use locking forceps.....I'm with you dont really like the bubble raptor, but when its appied finely then its quite nice, PS my big black landy is called Penny
