There's a lot of td5s running around with a missing top nut :) The choice is yours.

Britpart lasted 250 miles... Ive fitted an electric pump now. DOnt know how it will last.

Bought a SUAOKI U8 1000A after seeing recommendations somewhere....might have been here....anyway absolutely useless Chinese ****e. It never manage to start a single thing. Wouldn't hold a charge for any length of time. Then one day while charging..again..all the lights etc dead...

Cant help you with instructions.... But I noticed this bit the "elusive Fairey overdrive" how elusive? I have one on an lt95....if its elusive it must be worth a fortune :) Can I ask what yours cost?

many moons ago I fitted a Montego turbo D....which is the same thing....in to a 90 using sherpa van bits. You could change your series gearbox to LT77 with LT230 and it will all bolt up.....possibly, maybe, ish :)

Also.... 2 stroke oil is not cheap. Would it not be better to buy the better diesel....the supreme stuff...you know the stuff....the other pump no body uses. I cant be bother to do the sums but an extra £10 of 2 stroke per tank doesn't seem like a good plan to me

Used to be a thing to add ATF to diesel as its a good cleaner. My last 300tdi got some of everything in it....new and used cooking oil, atf, new engine oil, petrol/diesel mix from customers cars. all in various quantities depending on what was around.....it did get pump diesel as well :) Id...

Cant remember what I used....something that fitted the hole and some drill bits on my rangerover but that's because I wanted the pump timing adjusted with a dial gauge so I could advance it and know where it was. You can change the belt no bother without locking the crank....pin the cam and the...

Out of all the diffs Ive done with crush washers Ive never heard of taking it back apart to check anything or fit a seal......the idea being you crush the washer until you get he correct torque on he gauge....thats it done. If you go to far you need a new washer. if its not enough you crush it...

Ive a set of rubber britpart bushes here that look just like that....the top bush has a metal sleeve....making it almost impossible to fit :)

You could use the old style nuts.....but why? Landrover made the wheel bearings idiot proof but you want to go back.........

This thread is not about HDC...... Heres davethebb in his disco1 auto with no HDC and no trick diffs sitting at the top of a tricky very steep gravel track/muddy slope....he selects low and 2nd as suggested, drives over the edge....davethebb has been given top advice by internet experts not to...

I know how HDC works. I also know no driver cant brake an individual wheel. The original Q was not about HDC HDC? With HDC it makes no difference if you have engine braking or not its the brakes that keep you from running off. Lets get back to you explaining how engine braking can brake an...

I assume under should be than. I guess you've never seen a wheel spin backwards under downhill engine braking and the vehicle take off. HDC uses the brakes.

Ive done series offloading....that's what it was built for....as I said above I drive it in D. If it goes to fast I brake, it just does the same thing. The forces are transmitted to the ground through the tyres....you have grip or you dont. Never had a problem, I think engine braking offroad...

No. It has know way to know if you are in low, high or neutral Descending hills ? I have a 300tdi auto in my rangerover...in my profile pic...I drive it in D all the time, up hill or downhill....it has brakes :)

If it falls and cracks the testers head open....the bonnet might not fail but everything else will :)

Rear outriggers are different. No big deal if your going to chop up a chassis you can swap an outrigger or 2 :)

All land belongs to someone in Scotland. You are not allowed to drive on any of it without the land owners permission. Will you get permission....probably not. :)

Not really the same but I recently went to look at a fence I worked on 39 years ago.....post and rail...nailed together with 4" galvanized nails. A lot of the posts are still standing, most of the rails are gone but .....the galvanized nails are still sticking in the posts and look like brand...
