Oh that !
Ah not for me. Lol. Still got a lot of maintenance and revival work to do first and then some what I think are essential mods. Split charge etc.
Maybe in the future. Lol. Jarrod

Reminds me i must fix my ac this year , bet it’s the intercooler that needs replacing
Also got some maintenance to do, will do all the oils again, finally get the wiper arms off, redo the scuttle panel and fit new wiper arms , then get on with the small electrical mods, ie dashcam, gauges etc
Always handy with us all sharing info on different jobs

Hiya, bought it on the bay. I’ve since given it and my old allisport to a fabricator to have the 76mm pipes chopped off and the 54mm ones from the allisport grafted on so that I don’t have to faff with the reducers etc. It was £89.00 brand new. There’s a few on there. Mikey and a few others run them and they are far superior in my opinion. Yes I get that the thinner metal would allow better heat transfer but then they suffer from fatigue cracking. If I could find some 54mm o/d aluminium tubing I would get a couple done. Lol. Jarrod

Might also do the mod later , i suspect my ac condensor has failed so would be good to do them both in one go
Look forward seeing the piccies of the Ali mod

Hi buddy
Bless u and so Chuffed the info has been useful , also gives me something to do
Fantastic news , also can’t Thk u enough and know candy will like it
Always like piccies plus hopefully weather will improve
As a side note ref a mod , I’ve been looking since last year about fitting windscreen heated washer jets , I’ve bought a second hand fuse box that also comes with a complete engine loom, in that is all the wiring and connectors , tubing for the jets
So I can then open my fuse box and fit the part needed from the loom so will then be an oem install , at the end of the day I thought it’s easier that way because it saves me looking for connectors/ terminals etc
Will buy the D4 heated jets

Hi budd,
Not a problem mate honestly ! Anything to give back a bit of help !
Can I ask where you got the loom ? There’s quite a few damaged plugs on my loom and I was thinking of replacing or repairing it.
Also interested in the heated washer jets ?
Going to pick up my brake calipers and rock sliders this morning, painter says they are complete. Can’t wait to attack the back brakes/suspension. Lol. Got my lower front arms de’ bushed. Went to fire up my sand blasting cabinet and found the gauntlets all perished. ordered some new ones from frost. Want to blast them clean, some etch primer and chassis black paint before I fit the new bushes.
One this lot is done the rs500 intercooler is getting shoe horned in.

Hi mate
Can’t even begin to how grateful l I am , , plus is always a pleasure to help
Never know we may finish the mods around the same time ,
Got the loom off eBay, what plugs do u need please, as if I don’t need them ur welcome to have them FOC
Urs is an HSE isn’t it, thought they had heated windscreen jets as standard , fuse number F12 in the engine bay, should be 10 amp , think it’s the 6 th fuse down on the right hand side of the fuse box
It’s always typical when u have plans u need something else, ie gloves for the sandblaster
Should look really good once they’ve been sandblasted , will be interesting if there’s any difference with the larger intercooler
Think I saw some rear O/S hubs on ebay , u just wanted a cheap second hand one didn’t u, so u can rebuild it , see if I can find one that’s dirt cheap
don’t think I’ve seen that disco
Think once spring comes there will be p,entry if threads of mods being done
Do wish to first fit the FOBO Bluetooth tyre monitor I got when I can, no wires just a box in the landy that has batteries and then monitors screw on the valves, can then check via my iPad of the pressures , didn’t want to go down the TPMS system, thought this being the easiest way
Many plans for Sunday mate
