I have managed to source a 200 series V8 Diesel engine complete with the wiring for my next project. I am in dire need of the wiring diagram for this engine. Any1 out there with one at hand?

Hello peoples, sorry for the lack of updates. Tried to stay away from spanners for as long as we could, it has been a busy summer getting the cars ready. Here is a taster of the 40VX in action. More pics to follow.... This was a timed section river crossing coming up a bank.

Quick up date so far on the 2 cruisers. The red 40 is looking good, body is mounted, fuel pump and piping done. The big job was converting the car from lfet hand drive to a right hand drive, nothing the plasma cutter coud not handle. Mounted the pedal box, steering colum. The 40 VX interior...

Quick up date on the 40's, managed to get the engine/gbox back in the red 40, mounted the tank. We were in the process of mounting the tub when the heavens opened up on us so we had to abandon work for the weekend. All in all good progress was made.

Brakes/clutch systems are working now, put her in gear and it moves.... Next on the list is to fabricate a fuel tank for it. We know roughly where its gonna sit, but trying to make it the biggest we possibly can. More pics to follow The other 40 re-store project is well underway, got the diffs...

Sorry guys, the UK weather is not too kind to us. Now that the summer is herre we are determined to get her on the road. Its the small bits n pieces that are taking time. The body work is last on our list. The plan os to get it on the road first then think about it. We do 4X4 trailing every...

Its Alive, started the motor yesterday after sorting all the wiring out. Started without any problems. Well chuffed with that, almost a year after starting on this project. All brake and clutch pipes are done, bleeding of the system will be done today. Hoping to take it for a little test drive...

Updates finally..... The project has been on hold for the past few months but i am happy to say we have progressed in the last 2 weekends. Wiring is all in, prop shafts all in, work left for this weekend is brake & clutch pipes, fuel pipes & fuel tank and battery mounts. Hopefully with some...

Ust put battery back into car and now she won't start........... am assuming it has something to do with the Immobiliser. Ho do I get round this? Reset the immobiliser?

Hello there people. My bro has just taken his LX470 to the main dealer for a diagnosic check, but they cannot seem to find where to plug there kit into. They said its not in the usual 2 places. Can any1 shed some light? Cheers

Yup thats the one. We took part in 2003 in an old range rover, didnt do too bad, got a prize aswell. This year we planning on entering 2 cars, my bros 80 series, and hopefully the 40 if its ready (damn rain hasnt stopped for the last few days). I will be great to see you there.

The chassis was cut in the middlish. The ub is coming off again in the next few days, will post pics. I will take some pics when the tub is off. HG? We installed the full running gear from the 80 series. Im in the midlands. We have an event in sussex on the 16th of september. Hopefully it...

Work has progressed amazingly enough. The body tub is finally mounted to the chassis. We put the front panles on to see if everything lines up. Next step is the body work and the dreaded wiring. Any1 know where i can get a wiring diagram for the 80 series from? what do you guys think?????

The snorkel is wicked, looks aggressive yet giving the engine more air. It was bought from OECinternational.com in the UK. If u planning on getting 1 speak to a chap called Antone and tell him Gurvir sent you. this is what it looked like when we bought it...

its a factory toyota winch, mounted on the chassis. I had to cut the slot for the winch as the winch is slightly higher than the original TJM cut out slot. The next task is to drill the holes in the bumper for the fair leads. Got some 10"X15" modular rims waiting for tyres.
