well after a few years trying and set backs,bad engines bought old engine blown,sold wrong i have five engines later yes five all 2,5 n\a i found a non smoking first time starting and run s great from out of a old 90 which drove onto flatbed and off onto ramp a 19j with a garrett turbo fitted have it now installed into my landrover series 3 diesel 88'' and it works yes honest it works and runs great no smoke out of rear when driven with the back loaded to roof of parts and tools etc from stripping down the 90 of parts which may be used or sold when i get round to sorting out all i have maybe by a summer , please note i said '''by a summer'' not saying this year or next lol
i just to adjust accelerator pedal from the 90 to a better height, adjust and fit exhaust parts better .adjust or fix clutch leak,sort headlights and horn wiring and finally adjust hand brake betterbar that she runs and stops great hope to off road test her this week or next with mate as this time i have the electric winch(got to wire up new wireless controller) from the flatbed fitted its a ten tonne or 13000lb one with wire rope all fitted and working from seperate batterys which get chargeup up after main one charged as it a 24v winch but i tested it and it works great,i also to check trailer socket and thats it i think lol and as per usual when it running theres no bloody snow not once in over five year i owned her has she been running when its snowed maybe if i keep her running there wont be snow ever lol anyways main thing is she back on road just once i finish the lights and handbrake go back and get her rechecked from main garage guy round corner to ensure she is fully road safe for use.
