I'm confused too.... I said we didn't drive the steepest bit, not that we didn't drive it at all. 😉 Also quite evident in the video, at this timestamp, hope it clarifies for you:

I read it as they came down the section to the left of the waterfall going downhill, which is slightly less steep

The rear seats have brackets that bolt through the boot floor to the chassis for the seatbelts.

Surely still under warranty then? Have got on well with the orange Cellular Dynamic Britpart shocks. We have them on 3 different vehicles.

Got the bulkhead painted in a fashion, first time spray painting its not to bad but it will do me. will get it fitted then see if I can get ideas of where I have to run things, had 2 bolts lined up what I thought were for bulkhead but to wide...

We don't have the answer because I doubt anyone has ever done it. You can update the Internet when you have done it with the outcome.

Gotta have hand throttle for the pto winch:banana:

A mate has a spare Defender pedal for me to try, also I'm getting a second hand Disco Radiator to mock up and see whats what, might need the Series Rad yet as both can be used from what I've heard

Just to add to this, you don't actually need a Defender throttle pedal. Although this is what I have on my current setup. On my past Tdi Series I used the stock Series pedal and attached a stock Tdi throttle cable to the rod mechanism by the...

Hasn't been worth ours - jog on.

I read plenty but you write more, seems like you're here for the argument and you've got what you came for. You've repeatedly mentioned that you want to reduce your perceived stress on the engine. An engine which is plenty powerful enough with...

As said -- just fit the sodding diffs and prove us all wrong then. No point continuing to post utter nonsense like you are. Go on, I dare you to actually do it.

Clearly you know way more than I about such things.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 BTW - how can you say I provided no facts, when you yourself couldn't even be bothered to look up the gear ratios. Something I did and SAHRED with you. Including speed plots, which...

OK, here is a halfway house. Buy ONE diff and fit it, just to see if you can. If you can, buy another, fit it then try it out, mixed driving and so on. I'll not mention brim-to-brim testing as you don't care about fuel. Might it be a...

If you think me asking questions and asking for details, That you say you know but I didnt. Then me asking a few more and sharing the evidence I have, Patronizing and insulting then I guess you are not a very sociable, willing to share, only...

Not trying to be rude, but it sounds like you haven't really got a clue at all and no knowledge of anything mechanical. Just because one number is lower than other means pretty much f* all really. What is your proof and rational that 1500rpm...

BTW - the Tdi will run fine without an intercooler, so long as you aren't juicing up the Tdi. But it would be better with one. Lots of options for an intercooler, although factory Tdi ones would likely be the most challenging to fit. Throttle...

Completely pointless running with no turbo, you might as well just have a normal 2.25 petrol or diesel in there. The entire point of fitting a more modern turbo powered engine is for the fat turbo torque curve and extra power. --- all IMO of...

You must have the crappest V8 ever designed if cruising at 1500rpm is a concern!!! :rolleyes:

Why do you think the current 1300rpm is high???? This makes no sense at all.

Yes, increased pumping looses.

Have you got any mechanical knowledge at all? An MoT tester saying a diff is rusty just sounds like a poor dodgy MoT tester tbh. The ratio change you are proposing is HUGE, have you bothered to use a gearing calculator to see what the actual...

Clearly you are the first person in history to use a Range Rover for a long journey. You should share your idea so that other people can now use such vehicles without worry too.....

those i never put on in the end, didn't want to risk it lol

Dodgy illegal number plates included too.... :D

Are you actually for real? Are you doing the work yourself (I'm doubting, as you simply wouldn't ask some of these questions if you were). What is your budget? £20k, £50k, £150k or more? Doing this will likely result in a non roadworthy vehicle...

Not to disagree, but Tornados own site says it is worth tuning..... "However the dominant characteristic is actually a huge hole in the torque curve, centred around 3000 RPM. This is filled in very well with the upgrade, delivering an extra...
