It looks like someone else is using #744 this coming year!

Hi guys. I have a 300tdi defender with disco autobox. It all runs sweet until I attempt to tow any significant weight. It runs a 1:4 transfer box and slightly bigger tyres than stock. It seems the box starts to generate enormous amounts of heat...

Looking at this myself. Considering a AS135 to go with one of their rads.

It may look nice when new and maybe see it behind the rad grill. I believe that Allisport products can exceed the specifications of the factory issue item when used in a performance and competition setting in which a quick additional cooling is...

Allisport do one which looks nice and not THAT much more, but they have two.

A few actually How are they connected to the pipes to the box? What pressure are they at? The cooler end, it that standard components I can get anywhere? I am thinking of a preemptive replacement to avoid a burst (BTDT). Also MAY get a new...

This should help: https://www.witter-towbars.co.uk/help-and-faqs/towbar-electrics-the-definitive-guide To be honest, this diagram (or one similar) is all I have ever needed…

didn't try the D2 as I had the D1 one in stock

Because the D2 didn’t fit, or you didn’t try it? My D1 ‘T’ is a bit knackered but I only need the mechanicals. I’m not worried about the reversing light coming on.

Hummmmmm, the website linkage for a D1 looks the same….

Good to hear Becks Bear. I have an autobox on a D1 gear change but wonder if the D2 lever will fit. What did you do? My D2 lever and rod. The D1 is a ‘T’ with the button on the dvr’s side. Not the best picture, as I seem to have focused...

1. The kick down cable attaches via a bracket to the throttle along with the existing throttle cable. 2. The 3.9 auto gearbox has two coolers one on the side of the radiator (the opposite side on the rad to the engine oil cooler), the other auto...

I have a 4HP24EH monster box stage two built by Ashcroft’s and was fitted to my off roader that is a 300dti and has done 200miles maximum. It has been dried stored for two years full of oil. At present in my 1989 3.9EFI V8 defender I have an...

Where better to be on a wet and very windy day …. No dont be stupid not in the house watching the telly or baking a cake, in the man cave disassembling and degreasing the front swivels and hubs of course. With afternoon “panad” over (thats Welsh...

The torque converter won't let the engine stall, and I don't see your alternator contributing to your problem. I'd be examining the power steering pump seeing as its an aftermarket system, and checking the pressure relief valve. Can you take the...

Needed here in Kenya, Discool. Honest. No, really!

Interesting, it does for me. Have a search for ‘Team Loafer’ or ‘#61’

A little info on it here: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/what-have-u-done-on-ur-disco-today.307164/page-270#post-5803530

I’ll take a decent picture, but it does go from a tab on the other side of that one you have marked to the inlet manifold, yes. Just to add to the fun, I’m running a RPi Engineering ignition system (and a big K&N). I am in the process of adding...

Yep thats broke ;). The green hose looks like it could be the Vac advance from the distributor does the other end go up to the intake manifold J

Full blown twin, batt setup on the car, and until the belt pinged off, the batts were both seeing 14.1V. 12.7V with the engine off. Here she is… More info here...

I wonder if your alternator probem was dragging it down. J

The cone is part of the vacuum assy of the distributor ignition system, don't know what the green tube is though ... https://www.roversnorth.com/parts/pli019_distributor_assy_3_5_3_9_4_2l_v8_efi

I think at this point you might as well hire people and make a business from it 😂 can't wait to see this one rebuilt... keeping same engine?

As the proud and happy owner of Mr H's previous resto, christened 'Little Blue', I'll be following with interest! 150 faultless miles across Wales yesterday, and still smiling.

a few hours in and progress is definitely being achieved, think I should celebrate with a beer 🍺

Here we go… Probably a bit close to the alternator housing, but I pushing it back with my fingers. It appears to move around, without moving the windings. Out of interest, what does the cone with the green tube at the bottom of the picture...

It’s a 3.9l EFi with a serpentine belt running around the water pump, fan, power steering and alternator, so the steering going very heavy was the give away. I turned around and immediately found the belt on the trail, in unmarked condition...

The bracket shown is ETC5576 for mounting an alternator on a V8 carburettor engine. My 3.9 has a serpentine belt so in that area there is a power steering pump mounted with a small alloy bracket...
