    Defender Has a head!


    Just broke the lower fuel mounting off the fuel block

    Excuse me while I put my head in the micrwave and dial up an hour on high!

    No one has any ideas on how to fix it before I spend several hundred $$$$$ on the damed thing?

    Guess I can at least attach the rest.

    How did this occur, or is it a bit too soon to talk about it?

    I'm very sorry to hear this Edd, think of it this way if it broke it obviously was weakened and needed replacing
    Better to do break it now than when cruising up the freeway or offroad


    For recipies for your head try a hint of garlic and pepper

    Sorry to hear it mate hope it's not too pricy

    It happened when I was doing up the fuel line so either I did it to hard or it was already cracked and just gave out. As for pricey so far $340.

    Ah bugger Edd

    I guess I know how you feel... I'm just about to cough up $3k or more to get my bus back on the road - it's been weeks! That doesn't include a new dual-mass flywheel if it's found wanting when its stripped down....which we suspect it is.

    Good luck with yours. Mine has been off the road for 2 months or more and has cost a little more than the $3,000.

    I will be getting the repaired fuel block tonight or tomorrow!
    Getting happyier as each piece goes back on.
    Just finnished re taping one of the exhaust stud holes and will have to fit a bolt due to the length required for a safe fit. If that fails then it will need a hella coil.
    Otherwise its 90% back together. Won't be putting the inlet manifold on until the Fuel block is done.
