On a slightly different but related note. Does anyone know of anyone who offers a return service on the valve block? Ie either on an exchange basis or send yours in kind of thing?

I can’t advise on the pipes exactly. But I wouldn’t hold out too much hope for substantial gains. What V8 are you running? Is it a low CR 3.5? If so that’ll be your issue. Most petrol engines do their best work at mid or higher rpm. The low CR 3.5 is heavily strangled though. And while in...

Sadly this is the choice. You either pay someone or have a go yourself. If you have a couple of mates and some hand tools. Then doing a head gasket isn’t that hard. But as a first ever job I can see it being a little daunting. On the flip side. The Tdi (well the entire Land Rover really) is...

Do you know engine you have?

Where are you and what are you actually trying to achieve here? A Series axle (per your thread title) be it Rover or Salisbury type is narrower than axles fitted to any coil sprung Land Rover. So not suitable for a Disco 1. A wider Salisbury was fitted to the One Ten and 127 however.

That looks bloody dreadful. Can’t see how it would be road legal in the U.K. either. What and f’ing awful thing!!!

What electric pump options are there? I’d assume you’d need a beefy alternator to power such a pump? What engine do you have? When I fitted p38 PAS to my 88 I also converted to a 200Tdi, so it was easy and simple to just retain the factory Tdi pump setup.

Are there signs to say one way or is this just the guidance on Trailwise?

Or maybe reading the op. Even as a joke, how would you get them fit to standard LR rims… :rolleyes:

Obviously also check that the springs are seated correctly in both mounts and that the axle end one hasn’t rotted away.

Standard shouldn’t really be all that soft. Do you have ACE? A D2 with ACE should make for a very flat ride and one of the best road handling live axle 4x4s ever produced. Standard suspension is also usually a good mix of all use. Although improved damping is often available with better...

As per my other post. You’d do yourself huge favours in going off and reading up on how the suspension works. There are so many badly modified D2’s it’s unreal. They just seem to attract people who want to make them awful on road and terrible off road. The basic suspension is of sound design...

Nonsense on both accounts tbh. Ffs :rolleyes:

What do you want to achieve with the vehicle? Rarely does anything “need” something. But there are many many ways to lift a vehicle. Some will improve how they drive off road. Others will reduce off road capability. Basic suspension operation is not all that complex. And having an...

Tbh I don’t know what type of shock they are. You could just undo the bottom mount on each shock and move them out from the axle. That will tell you if the shocks are causing the lean or not.

Why do you think it is the shocks? Are they gas shocks? Do they expand on their own or are they oil filled and stay static? If the latter they won’t impact ride height.

Head gasket? Blowing out of the rear cylinder by the bulkhead.

And to add. You’d be well advised to actually read the guidance on the .gov site. And NOTE it is guidance and not a definitive technical spec. You should also note that the entire procedure is a self declaration one. This is a very key part!!!! Most modified Land Rovers are likely to be...

Not really no. The current law was introduced to stop “ringers” where people where welding 2 crashed unibody cars together (usually badly) and passing off as a single vehicle. It was never intended to stop genuine builds and modifications. Loads and loads of kit cars for example are legally...

Is the hub attached to the axle ok? It has been know for these to come loose.
