I would certainly be keen to take you up on that if it wouldn't be too much hassle for you, and try to gain a little more insight from your pools of knowledge too.
As did I this time round but it was a few years ago when I first bought the D2
Nice of them to do, probably because its costs them roughly £250 a unit 🫣
Mines a few years old now, easier to drop it down the workshop and have it done same day...
Exciting Easter Friday! Finally got round to sorting the slightly warped exhuast manifold, shockpy yes even the CJM Manifolds will warp given enough time.
This one was on my old D2 now on my 110, probably covered closed to 60k at least and I...
I feel like I am leaning towards the TD5 more and more each day, but it's definitely still an open choice for me, and so speaking with people who have experience of both is really valuable. I will be looking to work on the vehicle I decide on...
Oh oh, I decided to reseal the LT230, whipped off the sump to find this:
I guess the bits I found in the R380 are just incidental...
Will need to strip it down to see if any other bits in the box are nadgered...
Yeah I'll pull it all apart tomorrow most likely. It's taken some hammer over the last 10years so hardly surprised it's failed, just glad I noticed it before it totally grenaded.
Exactly why I do the same. Cant count how many times ive revisited my old posts to remember what Ive done 😅
You going to dig further to see why it failed?
I've got a spare good box coming this week, I'll swap the V8 gears in probably.
That retaining ring couldn't be the culprit anyway, all the bits are in the front half of the casing, and it lives in the extension. Bizarre.
Earning its keep today, yanking out some bushes. Ready for some block paving because obviously I need more parking 🤣
Made short work of it, low range pulled them out just over tick over
She looks mean mate 😎
Did you just drill into the D44 bumper for your spotlight mounts? I’ve got some safaris than I want to install. Ideally wanted to put on the foam A bar but don’t 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!
