  1. Ok I'm a bit behind with this project it is progressing but other stuff keeps getting in the way I've been working my way through changing all of the standard bushes for poly bushes this was not a choice as all the standard bonded rubber bushes are failing they are all original and I'm guessing the additional travel of the air ride setup was just too much for them something to bear in mind if anyone is considering this @cs2000 I have been media blasting the suspension arms before refitting, so doing a proper job. still haven't got the front sensors fitted but I have fitted an additional small battery near the compressor as I was having some issues as it turns out the main battery was knackered which I have now changed but will leave the smaller one in because why not it's there now
  2. come on can't you multitask I know that mill can't
  3. isn't that like a glorified secretary who sucks up to the boss
  4. As one of the four I'd like to say keep up the good work and on a side note that selfish git chris (cs2000) could have picked me up on the way past (well past_ish) the other week to get his gearbox done and I could have visited
  5. I'm enjoying the tool mods as much as the car mods just wish I either had the space or lived near you
  6. I prefer the back to the front "vive la difference" as the saying goes
  7. keep an eye on the scavenge pump though definitely the weak link in rear mounts
  8. I did wonder when stemo's rear mount kit would show up
  9. no i like it as well, I don't like the badges but minus that silliness I can appreciate the work that went into it
  10. I've got one fitment not as good as the real thing but not a major problem and in my opinion too loud with de-cats but quality wise bloody good for the money mine has sat in my back garden for the last year still absolutely fine
  11. I was going to suggest something similar but your way is much better
  12. Where are you in essex ? I may have one knocking about as you do don't want to get rid of it but you could try it if it helps
  13. from scratch ,no plan no idea that sums me up
  14. I'm liking it even though mine is a work in progress I can't comment on reliability as mine has hardly been on the road yet and it's a diy setup as for changing back to standard it depends on the setup you buy theoretically you can just remove the bags and fit coil springs at least i can
  15. The car doesn't appeal to me but but your skills and can do attitude are awesome
  16. I'm pretty sure the older jag/range rover were Eaton M112 but I don't know about later ones
  17. I fed mine from the oil pressure sensor takeoff through an inline filter not sure what you mean by "I thought feed to the turbo would need to be constant and variable? " Turbowerx pumps are good not cheap but good
  18. yes but bear in mind the scavenge pumps are the weak point in these setups and have a tendency to fail the final setup I did before I removed mine controlled the pump speed based on the oil pressure feeding the turbo most people just run them full speed
  19. All gone sorry, another member on here is playing with it
  20. Sorry I'm a bit behind Sunday's been and gone several times and in all honesty I'm not much further forward You know what it's like life and work get in the way of playing with the Z. The rear level sensors are all connected and working and I've been optimising the software also the suspension seemed a bit rattly turns out the rose jointed drop links I made up the other year have worn not sure if they were poor quality or just because they were open but I've re-done them with good quality german sealed units also dropped the anti roll bar while I had them off and fitted the poly bushes I've had laying around for ages also I've changed where I work, same company just closer to home but more importantly I now have access to a triple garage with an air compressor and a pit
  21. I can't believe how quick you are going I am truly in awe of your progress not bad for an old boy.
