Thanks Matt, I'll keep updating it when I remember little things about the install!

Guys,

Just a quick update, my clutch pipe melted this morning where it comes in to close contact with the downpipe, so wrapping the exhaust in my case was not enough. I'm going to make sure when I replace the pipe that I put some heat reflecting blanket on the pipes too!!

 :oops:  :oops:

Just a word of warning... be careful with exhaust wrap... especially on Land Rover engines, it can have a habit of getting covered in oil... and then when the exhaust gets nice and hot you get a superb smoke generator under the bonnet !   :shock:

stefan:
Tim,

I'll bear that in mind. I've discovered the clutch pipe actually failed on the rubber section, just below the top union, and looks to be simple wear and tear. However, I can't get the top union separated, even after removing the downpipe and exhaust for access, so it looks like it's going to become a garden feature 'cos I've had enough off the damn thing now!!
