yer hes had to use a different gearbox though. I just need to know if i can use my existing disco r380 or even a def lt77 that i have.

Hi all, I am currently planning to fit a Rover 4.6 v8 into my defender. Currently running a disco 300tdi mated to a disco r380 box and disco transfer box. My question is is this actually possible. Have come across a couple of threads suggesting that the gear ratios will be wrong. Another...

Ok, well as im planning on putting the fuel tank between the chassis legs just behind the bulkhead does that basically mean building a metal box around it first? Cheers

so can a standard series fuel tank be used without any form of modification or extra protection?

currently a 300tdi

Jai - yer i want it to all meet comp regs, any ideas where you can get tanks which meet these regs? Lanny man 90 - That would be great if you could find out. CHeers Pete

Hi Guys, am currently turning my landy into a trayback and i want to move the fuel tank from underneath the drivers seat to between the chassis rails just behind the rear bulkhead and roll cage hoop. Anyone got any suggestions on where to get a tank? have had a quick google but was wondering if...

Are they worth it? Do they make a significant difference to the amount of flex over standard cranked arms? Do they wear out quickly like rose joints have a bit of a reputation of doing?

except when you really need it to!! then they have a habit of doing anything but move!! well mine does anyway!! :D

Yer thats how it is atm :confused: starter worked fine when it came out the disco. pretty sure i got the right wire as its with the group of brown wires. could only see one spade terminal on the solenoid. any ideas?

Thats how i have it at the moment and the starter is going crazy. :confused: should there be an earth strap on the starter motor housing? Cheers Pete

Any chance you can get some pics of it mate? cheers Pete

now air brakes like what lorrys have could be an intersting one! :p might actually stop in a reasonable distance! :D

ok cheers. will have a look this evening. Cheers for all the help! :D

ok, so how much play roughly is acceptable?? atm its only about 5mm in any direction? but thats a pretty rough guess from memory.

Might leave the selectors then :D though id quite like to have a go :p What and where is the endfloat and cp shaft? Cheers

Hi, currently planning on putting an r380 and 300tdi into my def 90. took the gearbox out of the disco today and thers a fair amount of sideways play on the main input shaft that goes from the engine into the gearbox. guessing this means the bearings shagged. Is this an easy thing to replace...

ah but then ur lookin at 8-9mpg! :p
