First update since 3rd August ????? You're starting to make Project Binky look rapid !! Rolling with laughter

But don't you think it all looks a bit dirty next to the pristine chassis ? Thought you'd have been polishing every part of it with Duraglit. Laughing

Can be cleaned in situ Wink

Though im not sure how well the alu will clean up, as the box had been leaking for a while...

EDIT: 3 months since I last looked at it? Embarassed My D3 Build Thread

Yes, gearbox is specific to the TDV8, and so was retained

The chassis needed some minor modification, but I do expect that a later EU4 chassis would be a direct fit My D3 Build Thread

transfer sits at the same length? you need to modify the props? or it is a straight fit?

lastly, if i may ask, why the diesel V8 and not the petrol one? fuel price or you find the diesel being a better engine or straight fit?

sorry for the too many questions.

Never build a car you can buy

The D3 came with the AJ V8 from the factory, but the 3.6 was never an option Thumbs Up My D3 Build Thread

DM

Are you using all the D3 electronics and just running the engine ECU and Gearbox ECU.

Or are you having to change everything over and in effect it is a Range Rover Sport in a D3 body?

Thanks

Engine is now in its final resting place, and bolted into the chassis. Just one fuel pipe to run for the FBH

Coolant system has been modified, have done away with the Aux Coolant radiator, and fitted the 2010 system

New Aux belts, tensioner and idler pulleys

New alternator

Radiator mounted and connected up. New AC condenser on order Embarassed














Just front-rear brake pipes to make up, RH front height sensor to mount, and OS suspension /brakes to refit, then the body can come down Shocked My D3 Build Thread

Neat brake pipes must mean it's nearly marriage time. 8) I'm keen to see how the ARC works out as it can't be an easy retro fit to a D3 with out the right loom and ecu
