Carbs are not as efficient as injection, and lpg is not as economic to run on in litres/mile. This is probably the reason why your lpg man said not to bother. It will also evaporate in the carb faster in the summer, hence cost the same or more than on petrol. Injection is a different beast...

Doing this with older vehicles will find any weak points in your system! Newer vehices have high pressure brake systems, so need them (manual will never get a good pedal) - older ones, such as the landy, have low pressure systems that you can do manually. When using high pressure bleed...

I had britpart and gas shocks on the 300 (came with them) and was surprised how well they performed on and off road for a budget brand, and costing so little for the kit. I have had more probs with pro-comp than these. But then I have heard quality with leaves can be hit and miss.

Agree with 602 there - You need to be looking at one with at least 6 months mot in order to 'buy' you some time to do repairs. If you own a land-rover - consider a welding course and welder as money well spent. Land rovers and welders go together!

If it has had a new engine, they may have missed an earth somewhere - or it could just be a charge relay.

that looks really nice! well done!

Fit LPG compliant plugs, they are much more suitable as they are stronger and built to withstand hotter temps and 'dry' running. Check your plugs for hairline cracks in the ceramic, or soot around the base - this is usually due to plugs overheating on LPG powered vehicles. It would also cause an...

I would lift it up a little and try moving the wheel side to side and top to bottom (without turning the wheel) and see if there is free-play, Spin the wheel and check for clacking noises, scraping or grinding. You will either have a wheel bearing totally shot and the wheel is wobbling aorund -...

As a recovery tech who has seen quite a few landies run on veg - it would be far cheaper if you picked up a scaffold pole. Both would make a good rod for your back, only the pole is cheaper! Seriously - if you are looking to run on veg oil, you want a non turbo, normally aspirated push rod...

I have recently done my old one....yours is nothing! Beleive! The stage it is at now, you can patch it if that makes you feel better. All in, for a disco floor that is pretty solid. The belt mounts would benefit from a little attention, but to be honest, they are actually mounted to a bushed...

Emulsification they call it - water in oil. You will have a leak somewhere. Check all seals and renew, also the drain plugs will need at least a good clean on the threads if not replacing. It may pay you to pick up a breather kit for the axle - which will extend pipes upwards, above the...

You need to torque to the appropriate settings to get a good seal. Then after 500 miles, recheck them!

you can search via the V888 form that will give you all owners details, copys of log books etc. You can also contact Gaydon - who for a fee of about £30 will give you its' factory details and history - ie date is was built/sold who to, and original engine/chassis/gearbox numbers.

This sort of marketing is aimed at the outback/desert markets where reliability is a matter of life and death. They are very pro-japanese. It is not the fact that landies are not field repairable, just that they don't want to be in that position as with the remoteness and heat it is a real...

I always get mad at holiday makers doing 40mph everywhere....except when in the series.....because i am flat out and can't keep up!! rofl!

Got a business card on you? If you are trade, then you can get a trade card which will give you a discount off - most things are similar to real trade price. Failing that, head for yell.com or yellow pages and search motor factors.

I found that with the maxxis i used to have on my old patrol, they were quiet on road, stuck like there was no tomorrow, never got stuck off road and never wore out! I could go round a bend at a good 70, and not even bat an eyelid - just sat there like a car would! £350 should buy a set, but...

seems to be the gang working their way down the country!

maxxis do very well in all conditions, and are cheap - and NEW tyres rather than remoulds!

It was quite a common conversion, and there was a bellhousing kit available. Not sure if they are still made, or if you would have to find one used - but they do the kits! I would change it to the nissan manual 5 speed box if you can, plenty about still. If you need any spares, let me know! I...
