i love the alloys, they look ace

im going to get my roof redone like you did, but in a white leatherette probably rather than the suede that you went for, i was just wondering ... how much did it cost you to get it relined ?

cheers, chris

Daz did you get the pipe from Rover/XPart? I got a roll off ebay cheap the other month but its only enough to do one side i reckon.

heres my new oil pump i bought
this is the later style pump to replace the older pump as the old one was the wrong application for my engine
it should have had this later pump on the turbo engine
i paid 96 pounds for it from landrover and rover wanted 155 pounds for the exact same part

managed to get old pump off after i had a problem trying to find somewhere to lock flywheel so that i could undo crank pulley

Easy way if you've got someone to help is leave the car in gear and get someone to apply the brakes, rather than locking the fly - saves taking the flywheel covers off!!!

Out of interest whats special about the new oil pump, do you have any comparison pics?

the early oil pumps had a 10.5 mm rotor inside
and the later ones hada 11 mm rotor which means more oil flow

Ok, thanks for that! I thought the rotor fins may have been slightly different or something to improve oil flow! Not much space in that engine bay of yours, good luck fitting your ABS pump, hope it all works out good
