    Will see about the railroad - I think that’s more of a cooler weather thing by what’s happened this Summer. Gav's 101.

    And I’m on a definite time line with the 101 so it will always take priority at the moment when I’m able to work on something. Gav's 101.

    Hi Rod, I believe this unit is the same or very similar to that - I think it’s used in quite a few vehicles by the looks of it. Wasn’t expensive either so that’s a bonus. Gav's 101.

    A quick update. Chucky is back on the road driving! Still got a few niggles to sort, but overall going well. I'm still waiting on the power steering hose to be made - the fitting for the electric pump is available, but not common so my guy had to order one. Even without the PS working, it steers great and is much more precise that the old box. Not really any harder to steer either, so can't wait for some fluid to be pumping around it to really help out.

    Brake work great but still a blob of air in there somewhere but almost there - I need to rebleed the clutch too as that's a bit spongy, but nothing that can't stop me driving it.

    Engineering process has started so hopefully have that sorted and signed off shortly too.

    More updates - the power steering is complete and working beautifully - it has transformed the vehicle and while I was happy enough to drive it without PS, I could almost use it as a daily runabout now it’s that easy to drive. Simple to park in any spot down the supermarket but best of all the steering has zero play in it which takes some getting used to in an old Land Rover!

    Brakes work great too - slightly better stopping power but the drums always stopped it well after I went to the dual diaphragm booster but now it pulls up dead straight every time, so super happy there too.

    Ok, need the brains trusts help here - some time ago, I ditched the factory coolant recovery bottle as it didn't fit where I mounted the airtank, so had a little bottle zip tied on the wiring loom. The tank has been moved for the power steering so I can put the factory bottle back - but I'll be stuffed if I can work out where it used to bolt to - none of the holes I can find match up with the bracket...

    Anyone got a photo of a stock 101 showing the location please?

A small electric fan on the condenser and wire and plumb it up - a lot easier on a 101 than many other vehicles.
    Hi mate, would you have a link to a suitable unit by any chance? Really thinking I might do this and get it out the way while I have a chance. Given I could use it as a daily driver now if needed, the last part of that puzzle is AC. Although I will never be doing daily driving in it, it would mean I didn't have to think too much about the temp when using it.

    TIA
