Its been a very long time since my last post, and you may have noticed a pattern here. The cause for this pattern is my other project - full house refurbishment. I'm pushing this on to completion so the Defender and this blog has taken a bit of a back seat. Neither the less, I have worked on the Defender, and the below was written shortly after my last blog, but I've just not had time to upload it........ So back to it.
Since my last post I have done some green lane-ing. In
fact it was the next day as the prior post suggested, but more of that in the next blog.
Next day at work I ordered a new exhaust, as there was an
insane level noise coming from the Defender. Double S full Sport on its way……
Which arrived promptly. So first task was to strip out the
old.
Which went unbelievably well, up until the last bolt I undid
snapped off…..
Proper pain. It took about 3 hours of drilling an abusive
language to get this thing out. I brought two different types of stud extractor
all of which failed. In the end drilling it out was the only option. There wasn’t much
left by the time it was out, luckily there wasn't much damage to the block thread.
But in order to get it out I had to take off the wing, which i was hoping not to do.
But once that was sorted I set about installing the new
system.
As you will see from the above the bore on the end section
is much bigger, and there is no silencer….. J
All in all not a bad job to do (other than the snapped
bolt), the exhaust fits together very well, looks good and sounds great.
