    It took me two weekends in between all the sport runs but the 12000lbs winch is finally fitted and wired.

    Cheers, Jurgens.

    Viewed, a bottom end with one of the pistons not quite reaching the top of the bore.

    The conrod is suspect as oil does not compress, it came about by the seal in the turbo letting go and oil filling up the air intake and then finally number one cylinder, so the result of all that, would be a bending of the conrod.

    Should I buy this motor?

    Cheers Arthur

    Hi there all

    Fist time poster in this section - but the like the idea of the thread

    Although its scary (and a waste) but unfortunally these days with work committments I just get a smile on my face when I open the shed door.

    Hopefully I will be home on Tuesday - as I am looking at an older model 2 door Range Rover

    All the best

    Wayne

    Fitted the ASE intercooler from Benny_IIA today.
    Some tips that may help.
    Guys,
    thought I may post a couple of tips for fitting an intercooler into a Defender. Now I am not sure that this will apply for all Defeneders but is apparent for my 2000 model.
    First when fitted the bonnet latch will make contact with the top of the intercooler as it usually just sits in front of the original intercooler. I basically trimmed off about 15mm of the tip of the latch point that would make contact. Bonnet now closes better than ever, must also have been fowling on the original somewhere.
    Secondly with mine it has the support braces that connect under the striker spring mechanism (not all Defender have this). Basically to clear the front of the intercooler, for the Passenger side support I drilled a new hole above the existing lower mount hole and then trimmed back. I then relocated the top mount point about 5.9cm at the top towards the guard and drilled a hole to suit more forward. Had to also trim the shield under the cross member to allow strut to fit.This still allowed support and clears the inter cooler. I have not done the drivers side yet and may not as I plan on fitting thermo fans.
    Also be aware the hose pipes are longer than the standard cooler and your hoses will not fit all the way to the tanks. Took me a couple of goes. The passenger side hose is a real tight fit and it is much easier to fit the hose clamp on the hose pipe and then slide on the hose.
    Hope this may be of some use.
