No need to guess what to bring when I venture into your neck of the woods on a green lane mission and stop for a brew

Just had a new denture fitted on me big bucket
Should make light work of the frost
Would you mind asking him next time he pops by if he's seen my RRC air filter box? DPD lost it last August, it looks like this

It's a 3.9 V8 auto converted 90, proper job he made of it too, I had the pleasure of a ride around the town in it, mini rocket ship it is
Light weight engine with big power and torque for such a light little Land Rover If I had the space I would probably own about 5 Land Rovers

That's it. I'm v8'ing a series or mod 90 next.

Don't V8 a series they have drum brakes & no power steering.
Yes scary but fun
Looked at putting a V8 back into the hicap. Must be a 3.9 on SU carbs.

Ta!
Mine is a 3.5 Hotwire from a 92 Disco with a ZF4HP22 from a RRC; got loads of oomph and 3.5s are pretty bombproof; suits me

If I were to do a series then I would run level leaf parabolics for max articulation and do a swivel ball conversion so I could fit a set of coiler swivels balls, housings & hubs using coiler CVs, shafts and diffs, that means I could enjoy disc brakes all round and the taller gearing
and who needs power steering when you can eat your spinach The RRC is long gone
I converted my 90 2.5 petrol to V8 hence the need for a RRC air filter box; found one in the end
thought I'd go auto whilst I was at it

Well I, erm, have gotten carried away with the desire to get my wheel and tyre situation sorted and I'm not holding out much hope of TNT actually finding a 3' 6" tall 18" wide cardboard cylinder that weighs about 100lbs so I set about looking for a new set of Disco rims for machining, obviously I would be delivering them in person this time
Little bit of eBay later and I bought these.
Will still need a spare but there is time for that
33x12.5x15 in imperial, metric would be roughly 305/75 r15
I will have to see how my gearing goes as these will put another 4ish% on my gearing, the 235/85 r16 coopers already boosted me 10% so this will be a 14+% raise which might be a bit much for motorways, maybe a ratio swap in my transfer box or potentially gear reduction with 4.12 HD ring and pinions but that's bigger money than I had planned right now but not long term so we'll see where we end up.
Picking them up tomorrow night so it'll be interesting to see what he looks like on them.
