Chap did warn at first usually scrap ace due to joints. Happy with my hose conversion as easier to not leak.

I find the improved handling makes it better off road. Extra articulation and locked bars on side slopes.

Richards being ordered. Body needs one bit welded, rest is solid.

it is sitting next to 10 3D resin mineral wagons curing in the sunlight

Mine were all rusty, or cracked, so had to scrap.

Got a rear for 60. so got a tatty rear in garage, a decent front in garage, spare ram in garage, spare solenoid in kitchen ready to fit

Buy a block off Ebay, get it converted (1/4" BSP holes), for each ram I used 1/4" BSP male-female adaptor in block 1/4" BSP swivel 1/4" BSP 2m of hose with 1/4" BSP 14mm banjo crimped on Pump 1/4" BSP male-female adaptor in block 3/8" BSP 1m hose with correct end 3/8" BSP compression fitting...

I am still annoyed that I just missed a brand new front ARB for under £100

I have had some interesting comments about ACE recently. Mentioned it discussing issues with a chassis swap and ACE is often a easiest to remove due to block connectors. When I said hose conversion, they were happy and want to see it. Sometimes ready converted blocks are on Ebay. Suggest...

One bit needs welding, good, good. What is alternative? A boring car?

Going to do it, but 6 to 8 week lead time with Richards. What are Maer like?

May be best to get block machined to take hydraulic fittings.

Do a pair Dunlop or Continental

No turbo, tops put at about 60 with tons of smoke No fuel pump horrible to start, will not rev over 4000 or under 2000 and tops out about 70 First was tighten jubilee clip properly Second new fuel pump

I find with autos that is a bit of a fallacy as in normal driving the lack of gear change time makes a huge difference. Anyway for overtaking a big wodge of torque is great. Remap - 160 to 170 Remap, intercooler and bit more boost - 170 to 180 Bit more stuff - 200 Aim for around 170 to 180...

I would guess around 165 170 for mine, more than 150 well under 200, but mid range torque is good. But unless you are drag racing, it is quick enough to not be a pain, and to have fun. On a twisty road mid range torque and anti roll is much more important than outright power.

I think mine is around 11 or 12, something like that, more than 10 less than 14. Been told near maximum without a bigger TC. Most importantly I can overtake and it seems fast enough. Not saying it is faster, but it feels nippier than a D1 V8 I have driven. But that could be as little as...

2007 so just missed the decent engine:D

Buy a Discovery 2?
