She looks mean mate ๐
Did you just drill into the D44 bumper for your spotlight mounts? Iโve got some safaris than I want to install. Ideally wanted to put on the foam A bar but donโt want to drill into that.
My A Bar? Pretty sure there are some pics of the install on here.
But year, drilled in nut and bolted!
Though I have made my A Bar wider by 60mm I think so it actually fits the D44 bumper as the winch tray is wider than the chassis mounts.
Decided to make this today.
Straps onto the spare wheel a ratchet strap. Plenty on holes for straps/bungees plus some hooks for wrapping/hanging recovery strops
Even did a little matching basket for stuff and things.
Difference between the two is really
Tdci -
slightly more costly to fix/modfiy
Nicer more car like interior, nicer seats, especially the 110
Underpowered given todays standards, however a simple remap will allow you to keep.up with traffic...
Ive had slick shifts in my Land Rovers since Shabs released them, huge benfit in the R380 combined with Swepcos oil in does make for a much more positive and better change.
Thats with a properly adjusted box as well.
Id highly recommend it.
A cage is a always a welcome addition to a land rover, ive had the misfortune of being in a severe accident where the cage genuinely saved my life.
Not only that but its been a huge benefit for loading things on the roof!
Saftey Devices also...
100% agree + Gareth would do a full health check before hand to check all is well.
As with anything remapping can highlight any issues with the engine you currently have.
Welding has gone crap with most of the suppliers. Thickness of metal has gone thinner.
Most plastics are the same. Nothing built to cope with a few years of abuse
By the way, Allisport is a solid choice โ Iโve been running their stuff for a while and it really holds up under pressure. But Iโd also suggest giving all your coolant hoses a once-over, especially if theyโve been on there for a few years. I had...
Appreciate the input but I assume youre fairly new to the forum and my threads ๐
Ive had a my fair share of Allisport some is ok some is very good. Personally been through 4 intercoolers, 1 header tank and 2 top hoses and a currently a manifold...
Bought an allisport one didnโt you. Couldnt avoid it could youโฆ.
Donโt know if you did that weird in-line stat but theyโre quite brittle too and worth changing
Never ends does it!
Finally been enjoying the 110 again, parked up and my mate said "whats all that red stuff coming out the bottom"
FFS ๐ก Not another coolant leak!!
Quick check and the expansion cap was loose and had become soft and...
Well that is the last of the ABS saga at least for a while!
New CV & Shaft. Lights came back... ๐คทโโ๏ธ
New sensor in lights gone!
Funny how the sensor lasted a year to the day! But its a 2 year warranty so will be going back to Island4x4 for a...
Yup normal. Took the balancer off the front, got some flat bar, rotated the crank till 2 of the bolts where vertical (had to turn the steering full left), marked the bar, drilled 2 holes. Made a cut out for the crank bolt.
Bolted the bar onto...
Changed the ABS shuttle valve today. Absolutely hate doing this job, wouldnt be so bad if it was easyto get my wings off ๐
Through the hole it is! Took about 3 hours and some cut wrists
Finally out and replaced with a pre modified one which...
When changing pads i have never had an issue after.
Sensor height is set by an air gap. So push it in as far as it goes, spin the wheel and thats that.
Bleeding can done as you would a normal car, or you can use powerbleed function on nanocom...
Joy!! ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ฎโ๐จ
3 amigos on a bloody Defender...
Its not the brake fluid reservoir connectors already changed those.
Nanocom is jumping between shuttle valve failure and drivers side sensor...
Could have disturbed/damaged it with the CV work...
After Empire tuning had my new crank pulley delivered in record time I set about changing it. Not actually a bad job really!
I did have to make a tool to lock the crank pully in place, eas enough to do. Put it in low range 5th for good measure...
Joy of joys. Thought Id take the 110 out for a a bit, got all of 10 meters before I heard an unsettling slapping noise...
And the crank pulley is seconds away from letting go ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ฎโ๐จ
So need to replace that now ๐
On the hand made another...
Slindon Safari probably the best for an RR.
Mudmonsters / Piccadilly wood (Haywards Heath/East Grinstead) would be too extreme for it.
