    My Ultra4 Build

    Build is gathering speed now. We have some big issues with the front axle setup but nothing sheer determination and ££££ cant solve! Wheels/tyres looking good! But they look even better on the truck! This thing has a 120" wheelbase!

    Defender Wheel Carrier Review

    It's still on there and haven't had any issues. But as I mentioned, putting a little grease on the contact surfaces makes it so much better to use. For the price, you can't really go wrong. Unfortunately my install was a bit late for my rear door!

    90 200tdi wont start - weird sound

    I tried jumping it with another car and it fired right up but as you say could be a sign of something a bit more problematic. These things just seem to come out of nowhere!

    200 tdi turbo

    My hybrid turbo rebuild set me back about £780 for TE Auto. Cant fault the service but still pretty disappointed with the results. Unless I have a boost leak somewhere but cant really hear anything. MY boost dial peaks about 1.1 bar and that's after ive wound in the actuator a bit.

    I have a hybrid turbo on mine, I'm disappointed with it given the cost if i'm honest.

    90 200tdi wont start - weird sound

    So as some of you know I have been overheating problems with the 90. In case of an air lock I have drained the system and refilled / bled the system. After letting it run for a while, i turned it off and came back to it 20 mins later to take it for a drive. I turn the key, no glow plug lights...

    Disco 1 Transmission oil lines / cooling

    Hi all, I need to add an oil cooler to my Discovery project build - i see the lines come out of the back of the box, but my Questions are: 1. what size are the fittings (thread size) so I can get some 2. I see the pressure in these lines too much to use 'clamp on' hoses or do they need to...
