Building an off road Discovery! (now inc taking it apart!!)

Jake:
I will be rotating them around soon.
Although, the only reason i put them that way was so that the D44 logo could be seen.
With them in the proper position it wont be seen.
Style over performance, thats me  :wink:

That's right...  they will work as Jake has them... they just work a little better when lined up as above

Jake:
When i changed the radiator i removed the plastic rad style plug from the thermostat housing (i was told it would realease the air bubble's???) and it fell apart.
I guess the heat got to it  :roll:
I try'd to get out the remaining plug but i goosed up the thread  :evil:
So i used the spare plastic plug from the old rad.
But, i would'nt go in because of the goosed thread.
So, as  tempoary bodge, i hammered it in.
(yes, with a hammer  :shock: )
I was in Devon recently so i went to see Tim and brought a nice new ally plug for the hole.
I did'nt want to kill the thread so i brought a tap to re-cut the thread. (1/2 BSP, £26)
My first go at tapping a thread went well and now its all sorted  \:D/
Now i can drive it without worring about the old plastic one flying out again  :lol:


 :D

Xtremeteam:
just a pity about the manky engine its attatched to :lol:

Horness:

Thanks Beast & Tim.  Are they marked in any way to say which way they should be fitted?  Or does it all rely on how the vehicle sits?
