What did you do to your Rover today?

[masternino]

Installed a complete front and real air differential lockers by ARB on my 2010 Defender 110 Expedition + onboard air compressor.

Trying to figure out exactly what that gasket material is they use to between the pedestal and bulkhead. Looks like some kind of neoprene. Probably just going to go with the Fel-Pro Rubber Fiber Sheet I have on hand.

Yes, the original gaskets appeared to be fairly thin and really soft, like a neoprene foam. The latest Genuine gaskets are made from a very hard material and are quite thick. I didn't end up using them because they had no 'give' to them and they weren't going to form a good seal. Instead I used 3M body caulking to seal them. I would recommend using something similar.

Christmas

Woke up this morning for Christmas, wife bought me a galvanized chassis! Gotta love her! I knew she secretly loved "boy blue"!


QUOTE=rwollschlager;90959]within the last 24 hours I've been wrenching on rovers for 15 of them, only stopping to eat, sleep, and see my sick grandma. Yesterday Aaron and I working on mounting up his 2.5 diesel. Later, my sister went out of town for the holiday, so I took the opportunity to stuff my rover into her heated garage, it wouldn't fit until I deflated the tires and took the roof off though. In that time I did a full tune up/inspection of the ignition system, replaced spark plugs, re-torqued head, adjusted valve, cleaned air filter etc. Having a heated garage, friends, and alcohol in the same place was unreal, I never wanted to leave! I finally installed my locking differential thats been sitting in my garage for the last 2 and a half years. I finished with enough time to take it to the Jiffy Screw for a coolant flush today, of course I didn't put the roof back on until after my trip there
happy rovering,

What I did to my rover today,
Placed a (first) and only Rovers North sticker on the small rear glass.

I did nothing absolutly nothing but miss it, been over 9 months at the shop getting the 200 TDI installed. I just got the new disco rad and inter-cooler will be dropping it off at the mechanic after christmas so hopefully before my 50th birthday I will have it back on the road.

Fired-up Daisy one more time and finally got her into the shop...complete frame-off to begin with the new year.

I took the series 1 for a little drive around some back roads Saturday (not registered yet) It was about 10 degrees out, no heater hooked up, door tops off and no gloves which shortened the trip ha ha.

What is the part number for the Amsoil Filter? I would like to add it to my list.

EAO96 is the extended drain one but just checked the site and has been updated to EA15K01 so new part number

[pjsank]

It is a nice mod and makes an oil change much easier and cleaner, also drags the Landrover into the 20th century, lol, I use the Amsoil extended interval one along with their synthetic oil and change once a year whether it needs it or not.

Installed the 2nd generation RMP Oil filter adapter on my '82 109. Sweet little bit of CNC. Spins right on to the filter housing thread that the center bolt attaches to. As an aside, the old filter housing, with through-bolt and spring attached makes a very nice bell tone when struck.

Ah man, I would have liked to have seen the new adapter before you installed it.

Since the clutch hydraulics were back in, I put the exhaust all back together yesterday so now I can move the Rover without holding my head out the window to breathe. Time to patch those footwells.
