Ok, so day 3/4

What a long day! Finished last night at just after 11.30pm

But managed to at least get some paint on the chassis engine area.

A couple more challenges thrown our way...

Dismantling of the engine bits to transfer to the new one, specifically the crank case breather, and some proper gloopy oily sludge was in it. Looks like Oil way to water in the head gasket may have gone first, causing the breather to block up (and probably everything else!)
Won’t bother taking the heads off etc as it’s going back to LR.




So ordered a new breather and oil turbo feed tube as it really wasn’t worth trying to clean them up and risk the new turbo that also arrived today!

Oil dipstick was slightly ‘sticky’ getting in and out, and another tiny dent in the tube meant it wasn’t worth spending time trying to re round the tube. Another one ordered.

The water outlet on the side of the engine was brittle, and stuck in the engine. Another one ordered.






More cleaning up of the chassis and we managed to get onto cleaning the underside of the body. Another couple of hours to finish the prep tomorrow morning and then onto 2nd coat for the engine Bay Area and 1st coat for the rest of the chassis and underside of the body.







Taking slightly longer than planned, but jeez! These cars are Biiiiig!

Had a couple of visitors during the day and both separately commented on how big the chassis looks when it’s separated from the body.

More Needle gun work undertaken by the child labour team...




So not much more to take pics of at the moment. Will take some more after more paints been applied.

Talking of paint, I mixed too much up yesterday, so left some in the plastic pot.

This is 2k paint, and normally you would have a skin of paint and then wet paint underneath.
This mega tough paint was still curing, so not yet solid, thanks still, very very tough.
You can see how thick the paint is when I put a screwdriver in and twist it up.
So the chassis should be very very well protected for the future!

Autocraft driveline solutions but I don’t think they sell direct to public.

I don’t think they do the 3.0 only the 2.7 I tried all routes to buy one last year but they would not sell to me, they put me in touch with motorman a company they dealt with but I have found out recently they will not support motorman anymore as jlr have put some form of contract on them that they can only deal directly with jlr
I would imagine shortly they will be doing the 3.0 engine for discovery 4 has they are no longer made by ford at there engine plant in uk , has discovery 5 engine is a different engine single turbo
