    Fun fact, during BMW's brief owenership of Land Rover in the 90's, LR South Africa made a few Defenders using the BMW M52 2.8 straight 6 engine that was only sold in that market. It used the BMW gearbox as well, but everything else was off a Rangerover. Really sought after now.

    I once helped install a RANGE ROVER P38 4.6 V8 with autobox onto a 110 Pickup. Using the Tornado Chips mod for engine sync to transmission and Lowrange transfer box(from a Discovery 2).

    Nice work looks a good installation, like the classic landrover early one ten paintjob. Look forward to seeing a video of it all complete.

    Nice to see a stage 2 One Ten being restored in its distinctive original colour scheme rather than trying to tart it up to look like another late puma and thus loose all the wired early features of the launch models - finish it off with some nice County stripes! They were the best made, only down side was the lack of power but nice job sorting that too - the 110/defender always should have had a straight 6 diesel.

    • @tomatochaz

      Yess exactly! - the stripes will definitely be going on!

    The early 80’s Defenders in Australia had an Isuzu diesel from factory! I would have put a modern Isuzu diesel- hard to break!

      Japanese Diesels aren't all that popular in the UK - I would have put a Mercedes or Volvo 5 cylinder in it - better fuel economy and parts availabilty

    I imagine your water temp sender is mismatched with the clock, hence the high reading. I bought a Defender with a engine conversion that the seller sold as he couldn't fix the over heating issue. It wasn't overheating. £5 fixed the issue with the proper sender to match the clock.

    • @tomatochaz
      @tomatochaz  Год назад

      We’ve not used the bmw sender as it’s linked to ECU so we found a plug in on the water jacket and got a sender to fit it - not sure if it’s Land Rover or Merlin motorsport, it’s not calibrated but I know if it moves from where it is we’ve got an over heating problem haha! We’ve got a thermostat in the switch in the top hose so will turn fan on when it’s getting warm :)
      We’re trail and error with this haha
