Dnk Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 Would the aqua blasting have not been enough on its own? Wasn't doing a fat lot according to my mate so he masked up the threads and media blasted them. My issue now is unless all the info i've found on the spigot bore size is wrong these wont fit, put one on the CMM and that's saying the spigot bore in the spacer is 113.342 but the hub is 114.3, going to see if it fits this afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) The spacers fitted perfectly in the counter bore of the wheel and on the spigot hub, we replaced the hex head drive flange bolts for cap heads and fitted the wheels. Very happy with it now and no need to reduce the thickness which surprised me a little. Test drove it and drives great for an old bus Also fitted a new set of Tuff-Rock mud flaps Edited September 20, 2020 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Got to love classics especially Land Rovers. Got an issue with the air suspension, it will only let me use the highest setting, also the SRS warning light has decided to come on in sympathy with height setting warning light. Time to plug it in and see what's up. Fixed the SRS by swapping out the rotary coupler last time so we'll see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 Bought 2 new EAS circuit relays to try, also found a soft dash being broken locally that was working fine before its crash so got a spare EAS ECU and an EAS delay relay that you can't buy anymore. Just been out in the drizzle, swapped the relays 1 at a time and nothing beginning to think the compressor could have died Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) Plugged it into the Lynx diagnostic tool and its flagged up a problem with the OSF height sensor. Luckily i have a spare set so changed that cleared the fault and yay its working again. Going to future proof the system and overhaul the EAS valve block which you can buy a seal kit for, fit a new dryer and either overhaul the compressor or fit a new one. Also looking into fitting new height sensors from the P38 which you can fit with a wiring mod Edited December 5, 2020 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) Touch wood all working 100%. The heated screen is also working nicely and cleared in 3 mins The SRS light has also decided to have a rest after being reset Was a good test for the TRC and ABS in the snow the other day, the Michelin Pilot Sport SUV'S worked well enough too and coped easily with a couple of hills Edited January 26, 2021 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Looking good, how was the 4x4 action? Not sure if you noticed but you have a photo up with the KY on your dash, luckily no Lemsip could be seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Passed its MOT yesterday and no advisories. I have to buy a new Y piece down pipe though as the cats are on their way out. I can buy genuine LR but at £4100 think I'll pass on that Spoke to a local performance exhaust place and they will make me a st/st system from the manifolds back for £1500 + vat with lifetime warranty I've found an aftermarket downpipe for £300, it has 3 year warranty and says its euro 1 and 2 on the emissions so I'm going to see what that's like before i have a custom job made An ex F1 guy is making exhausts for Kingsley cars who restore Range Rovers £3450 + vat but a full system. Some of the welds don't look that great to me ? https://www.kingsleycars.co.uk/range-rover-classic-exhaust-system/#&gid=1&pid=1 Edited February 23, 2021 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 I hope the downpipe is as good as the service/delivery I ordered it at 16:30 hrs yesterday and its just arrived Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) The catalytic converter downpipe arrived quickly but sadly it was just a very cheap BM Catalysts one. I've found them on ebay for £99 so god knows what the cats are in them I've sent it back and waiting for a refund Edited March 4, 2021 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Got my refund so back searching for a better cat pipe but it all looks cheap and not worth bothering with. Going to pay the performance exhaust shop a visit and see what their work looks like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Found new OE height sensors for the EAS so plashed out some more cash Sadly my mate who owns the garage has had to self isolate, his son caught covid at school so going to be the end of March before we get it on the ramp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
