I think people have fitted them behind the front seats on that flat panel, that way all the smelly bits are outside the living space. I fitted a cheap chinese one to our boat, have to say I was impressed. The usual named makes are better...

Hi. First post. Vehicle is a 2003 Freelander 1 TD4i. It has been the best car I ever owned. And I have had it for 15 years. 155,000 on the clock. I just use it as a run-about now. I do less than 2000ks a year. Before posting this, I have read...

What's the front like? Defender? Or inset like a series? Is the gearbox mounting crossmember removable? If it is, then I'd consider putting a more modern engine in, something a BMW M57 diesel bolted to an R380 gearbox and LT230 transfer box...

Not really helpful if you don't know is it just to facilitate your stock answer of keeping it original and buy summink else :rolleyes:

Get back in your ditch

I am fitting a secondhand county roof and headlining to my 1988 truck cab. I haven’t yet removed the truck cab and am slightly confused as to how the mirrors and visors are fitted. Is there a full length plate that runs behind the leading edge...

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Does this mean the bulk head will foul the engine when I refit the body.

Good afternoon Looking for experience and advice with regards to fitting a diesel heater, I have a 110 hardtop that I’m half way into doing a camper conversion. Ideally I was thinking about installing the heater in one of the external stainless...

I’d rather keep it going.

Rear chassis cost that much to do.

Not done it myself, but I think it should be ok as long as you make sure the tank is fully supported when you remove it. Picture here https://new.lrcat.com/#!/1232/38332/38387/2962 Griff

Hi, I am new to the group and would like to ask for help. I have been rebuilding a classic Range Rover 2 door for about 5 years, I have of course changed my mind about certain things, but have finally started putting it back together after...

Decided I'd better give the chassis the Lanoguard teatment before winter. Then noticed the fuel tank cradle had broken off at the front, and is just hanging from the rear mountings. It doesn't seem to be actually supporting the tank, so can it be...

Ignore Beast of Badger. I'd be looking at getting the injun and box reconned. The 2 1/4 petrol in fine fettle is quite civilised in modern traffic especially with 0/D. Thirsty but you say you're not looking for a daily

I would be looking at petrol versions of both though (But I believe those have other engine issues that are easier to prevent?)

😂 yep - maybe a D2 is enough But it would not be the main family car; we have a toyota for that. We would use it for the « fun weekend drives », assuming it would not break mid journey 🤣

Our Series 2 came with 205s looked silly. Fitted 7.50s on Defender wheels and looked 100 times better.

Hello BoB

Ok, is it a Series or a Defender?

Welcome, you mention Defender axles, what springs have you got?

Here are some photos at last.

I had also considered using twin core cable, might even have some already which would be a bonus.

Apologies for resurrecting a thread which has been covered in various replies 2010 L322 3-6 TDV8 I have the problem of lower tailgate not opening, Release button on the lip of the tailgate makes all the right noises but remains stubbornly shut...

I had the same with a 300 once, might have been because I fitted the head gasket upside down/back to front, allegedly! 200tdi you cab reuse head bolts up to 5 times so long as you measure them for stretch beforehand, not sure on the 300 though?

Leagues ahead of the D2 comfort wise, also has a flattish floor unliked the D1/2. D3 getting old now and as usual with older LRs corrosion is an issue, only really the sills as chassis is pretty tough so far. As for D4, just google SDV6...

Drained the LT230 and filled with fresh 75w-90.
