Thanks for the tip. Mine is a RHD and in peeking down there, I see I might have some room to play with - though it does look tight. I'll take off the manifold later to get a closer look. So as a follow up question - any particular kit from Madman that you used...
Long shot since this thread seems to have died - but for those that have put a Mercedes engine in their Defender, how did you connect the thermostat so that the temp reads on the instrument/gauge cluster? Currently I have a digital readout mounted to the engine side of the bulkhead (mechanic...
Probably a couple factors at play here. Obviously the economy/inflation issue is buttoning up some wallets. On top of that, I think a lot more shops/importers took notice of the Defender craze over the last 7 years which led to a lot more making it stateside. Now throw on top of that, that every...
Coincidentally just ordered these from Ashcroft after I discovered my axle is actually not original to the vehicle which made it so I can't fit the halfshafts I also bought. Pretty sure these will be the solution, and if not, I'll ping you next week.

Not sure how active this thread is anymore, but thought I'd try to pump some life back into it with a couple questions.
Since I used the K2 cooling pack, it was neccessary to remove the bonnet/hood mechanism that keeps the hood open. Has anyone found a clever way to remount this somewhere...
This is where I'm at. Some leaks on the turbo oil return line and power steering right now, but running fairly well. My gas pedal is way too light for some reason though....like I could set a small pebble on it and it would drop to the floor. Gotta figure that out. Getting some vibration when...
