i may have to, still need to sort out some kind of a filter box too,

nice one guys, but where the hell can a buy one from????

hey guys im looking for a snorkel, not your standard out of the side kind, but the one that come's out of the air vent grill on the top of the defenders right wing, i've seen them before but now i cant find them anywhere for ****?!?!?! if you guys have seen any about, any links would be...

saved that link for future reference, that will be great

Awesome

if it wasn't the other side of the country i would snap that up for a rebuild project :)

ebay, or buy a really buggered range rover on the cheap, at least then you can steal all the running gear too. i've got a hybrid, it's a rangie chassis and running gear with defender and series body work.

yeah that would be a bitch, get it all done, go out on a green lane and wedge a tree branch straight through the rad .

did you put a gasket in it?

was just watching Wheeler dealers on Discovery and they had some new coolant on there. it's completely waterless and good from -40 through to 180 degrees C. they said it costs about £90 to buy the cleaner and the solution but because it has No water, it never needs to be changed because it...

just dont make the mistake i did, i had about a 90% (not my fault previous owner was a tit) mix just over 2 years ago when we had that harsh winter, long story short got cold, water froze and expanded in my water pump, forcing it away from the timing case. i didnt know this at the time, started...

i had a prob with mine taking ages to crank, turned out i was only running on 6 cylinders. 2 HT leads were buggered does it backfire if you flood it?

let me know how you get on with this, im curious if i could supercharge my hybrid

yeah you can buy a new one cheaper than going to a scrappy if you shop around

i bought my v8 to have fun, if i want cheap motoring i'll drive my wife's corsa

hey guys, would any of you know of a suitable replacement for a 3.5 V8 filter box? mine was removed years ago for some reason and replaced with K&n filters clamped directly onto the carb air inlets. i dont want to put the original back in, im looking for something with similar if not better...

i think im boned then, half my dash lights are just for show. it would make sense if it's for newer cars though.

It's a V8, you dont buy them cos their economical. Thats what Diesels for. im not running cones but more cylindrical filters, but when i have time i was planning a ducted, box filter system

my 3.5L v8 with 2 K&N filters running the standard exhaust manifold but a Sports stainless exhaust from 'Longlife' gets about 15mpg on a run, down to about 5mpg if i bury my foot around town. my truck is lighter than most though, no winches,spare wheel etc

ok got it sorted, tried everything except taking it apart. it finally came out after i reversed up hill. job done. thanks for all the help though guys, maybe it'll help out the next person.
