ive had mine 16 years now, she’s taken me all over North Africa,Morocco , Mauritania,Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, several times, Russia and many european countrie. Even now after many many off road miles, motorway slogs and local trips she still puts a smile on my face

Yes you can, but a right pain without removing the exhaust manifold, recently did mine & the manifold nuts & studs wernt too bad to get off, but I replaced them with new as a matter of course

We had a good run back too, 31/2 hrs instead of 51/2! Thoroughly enjoyed, & good to see everyone, thanks Gav Andy

Hope to arrive early afternoon tomorrow (Friday), see you all there! Andy

Bring the dog along, or is he / she not up to it

Thanks Jon

I’ll bring em to avalanche Gav

I have a pair of front & pair of rear konis that havnt been used, I’ve had them kicking about the garage in the way for ages & ages, a bit scratchet up from being in the way for ages! can’t find the bushes but I imagine they’d be easily available. they, I think are suitable for a non lifted...

Hi John, will you be at the avalanche meet,if you are & if possible could I have couple of pointy ones please Andy

Where do you have your sender fitted? mines on the ‘hot ‘ outlet close to the auto box, I do have additional coolers for the atf, as sometimes it does get hot when the auto box is not ‘locked up’, loaded up & on long inclines. When I was doing a lot of desert stuff it was when clawing through...

I tend to take more notice of this one!

Not sure how I managed to upload the videos above, not very good & I’ll try for some better ones if these work! you can see the boost up to 20psi pretty quickly, it revs much quicker & on a steep hill , under load egt’s hit 700c

Don’t think so Gav! maybe you could try it in your off roader……….. I’ve got a new winch rope to pull you out!

Goes like a bomb, not literally, but the drive has been transformed, sounds so sweet, picks up like it never has before, money & time well spent. Just got the underbody guards to put back on and give it a good clean up now. will try and get a video sorted Andy

well, the old girl is back up and running tonight I have over the last couple of weeks replaced the turbo with a new green wheel Gturbo from aus, fitting that was pretty straight forward, new exhaust manifold studs made that easier too, a word of advice though is to fit the new inlet pipe to...

Yes you can lock the cd in high with the switch

My 12v 80 had no sump gasket, just sealant & when I first had it off years ago I don’t think it had been off from factory. Easy job

Yes Tim, he said he can mod to suit when I spoke with him, and I thought might as well get it done. any more news on the turbo delivery?

Sent the pump to diesel bob www.dieselbob.co.uk

Thanks for the advice, got some 12.9 bolts & its out! the problem seemed to be the standard (8.8?) bolts were bending & taking he ooomph out of the pulling force if you get what I mean. itcame out quite easily with a nice crack. now to get it sent off & looked at with the injectors while I’m...

Thanks Grimbo Thought about the stronger bolts, will try and get some tomorrow, have already tried whacking it with a brass drift & copper hammer, was expecting it to go with a crack!

I am in the process of removing my injection pump to have it refurbed, it’s a 12 valve 1HDT. all undone & moves back & forth about 5mm , the ‘mounting flange’ that holds the pulley on the front, ( the flange about 2" diameter,with the locating pin in it ) just won’t seem to budge. it’s all as...

Yes, intercooled, & 3" exhaust

Yes to the intake pipe if it makes it a straight swap, any other bits needed? (gaskets?)Prob going to get my injection pump overhauled whilst I’m at it

Im in Sussex on the south coast, any idea on the surcharge cost re the return of old one? No prob if you want to order 2 together & any savings on post etc, I can transfer money to you whenever, or can order separately Andy

Go on then, put me down as a yes for a green wheel Grunter for a 1hdt. How do we go about the payment details etc? Andy

Any further info on pricing, delivery etc, still interested, just need spurring on to commit !! 12 valve 1HDT

I managed to get some bushes for konis about 5 years ago from rft performance parts , in Surrey I think. Will have a look & see if I can find any other details

Oops, some pics duplicated!

Fitted a new bash guard to protect the 180 litre long range tank, the old one had served well but was pretty battered & bent to got a local fabrication place to bend me up a (big) sheen of 8mm aluminium plate, very please I got the angles right, it fitted a treat!! bolted up at the r to the rear...

The rear mounts are basically angle iron welded to the tank, with corner gussets & drilled to bolt up to the chassis, it’s been a long time (prob 12 years) since I fitted it and can’t really remember, but I am making a new bash guard for it, that’s why it’s exposed. not sure if it shows any...

This is where the front mounts, not very clear in the pics
