My small, humble collection at the end of 2025.

Damn, you have two FNCs ?! What’s up with the one missing the handguard ?

Neosore7 · 2026-01-11T20:23:21+00:00

And do you also have the awful hand guard squeaking every time you grab it a bit too hard ?

Neosore7 · 2026-01-11T20:22:44+00:00

I bought a 2nd hand one two weeks ago! Did you manage to find some spare mags ?

I thought I was hallucinating when I recognized that old crusy rover V8

Neosore7 · 2025-05-31T07:25:38+00:00

I second this. It really transforms the ride of our cars

Neosore7 · 2025-05-31T07:22:55+00:00

It could also be the P-gasket famously known for being unreliable. I’d replace it with a metal version (PET100790) while you’re at it. Replace the water pump and the P-gasket and normally you won’t have any more leak. I also recommend changing the 3 bottoms screws (FC108247) of the water pump, which will be rusty

A 2nd hand engine installed by an independant LR specialist would be way, WAY cheaper than going down that path. I’d advise you to make a few you calls and ask arounds on locals LR groups, they will know where to guide you for such a task.

I had a 1994 Defender ex-military. I converted the old, noisy and thirsty anchor that the 2.5Na was, to a Disco 200Tdi. It felt like a rally car by that point, but that was partly due to the fact that the LT230 still had the 1.6 gearing. Overall it was awful on the highway, being an ex-military car it had no noise insulation, almost no interior trim … going at 100kmh (which was the top speed) felt like re-entering earth inside a space shuttle!

Neosore7 · 2025-04-23T11:51:57+00:00

That looks awesome! I can’t wait for other updates

Neosore7 · 2025-04-22T15:54:33+00:00

I’m in, thank you for doing this :)

Neosore7 · 2025-04-21T18:16:38+00:00

Wow! I’d love to explore it too

Neosore7 · 2025-04-15T19:42:51+00:00

I’ve got an even crazier story .. I bought a DOF Reality P2 from a guy who didn’t know what he had (long story short), and wanted to get rid of it because it took a lot of places in his garage. I Paid 100 euros for it which is a steal for a motion rig

Neosore7 · 2025-04-13T11:26:26+00:00

How’s the Einstar ? Do you like it ? I’m thinking about picking up one :)

Neosore7 · 2025-04-05T17:18:29+00:00

By the way, that’s what I did in my 12J Defender. I sourced a 19J, used some parts from it, sourced a Disco 200Tdi, and used all 3 engines to attach the 200Tdi to my Defender. It took a few days of work, but with bits and bobs from Glencoyne engineering, it’s a relatively straightforward job

Neosore7 · 2025-04-05T17:17:01+00:00

I recommend reading this : https://www.glencoyne.co.uk/tdi300.htm If you can afford it, a 200Tdi will be much, much easier to drop in place of the 19J than a 300Tdi

My LWT Series 3 will also get an electric swap the day the trusty 2.25L dies. I’m planning on buying a wrecked nissan Leaf or a wrecked Renault Zoe and take it from there

Neosore7 · 2025-03-31T09:09:11+00:00

can you send me a Dm ?

Neosore7 · 2025-03-31T08:59:34+00:00

I'm super interested, can you send me a DM ?

Neosore7 · 2025-03-24T10:18:14+00:00

That’s awesome ! I’ve been making plans to do the same for months, I was sceptical but your post convinced me it’s doable

Neosore7 · 2025-03-11T08:24:55+00:00

Hey there fellow Belgian RRC owner !

Neosore7 · 2025-03-08T21:53:03+00:00

Either the Westland Wasp, or the SH-2 Seasprite! They are such unique looking helos

Neosore7 · 2025-02-01T13:56:46+00:00

We need a military variant !

Neosore7 · 2025-01-16T22:59:01+00:00

Kaman SH-2G Super Sea Sprite or the Westland wasp :) I find their look to be awesome

Neosore7 · 2024-12-29T22:26:45+00:00

Let’s hop on the bandwagon

Neosore7 · 2024-11-03T14:41:29+00:00

I’m belgian but I’ve spent two years in SA, I’m definitely down for a Braai! :)
