    Discovery td5 boost

    I thought disco td5 turbo wastegates were vaccum? If you tee'd in to the pipe going to the wastegate....is it boost of vacuum you are seeing?

    Disco 1 TEGRAROTOR, a rotating body welding jig, or rotisserie

    The jig is impressive..... The disco...every one of the many Ive broke up and scrapped was better than that :) Why no turbo?

    Problem with Brakes, Discovery 2 TD5

    I know :) I just think its amusing that and were now at the brake pipes rusting on the inside....FFs the chassis of a disco will be long gone before the brake pipes rust from the inside. :) The list at the beginning doesn't mention discs....so new pads on old discs and everything is supposed...

    Problem with Brakes, Discovery 2 TD5

    Theoretically a green man from mars could have landed and sabataged the brakes....again unlikely if you have brakes. But go ahead and replace all the rusted on the inside brake pipes if you like...you might aswell do it when you change the modulator that way youll only have to bleed the system...

    Problem with Brakes, Discovery 2 TD5

    A brake pipe with rust on it should not fail a mot. An "excessively" corroded brake pipe will fail a mot. A brake pipe will not rust inside unless there is oxygen and moisture in the pipe....unlikley if you have brakes. Replacing a rusty pipe will not fix your problem....better to stick to...

    300tdi auto conversion from lt77

    Id agree with the transfer box ratio suggestions. 1.2 in my 90 but I think it would be better with a lower ratio....you just cant get fast enough on the roads here to get converter lockup. The Rangie in my profile pic as a 300 tdi auto with 1.6 transfer. 3.9:1 diffs and 285 tyres. Pulls fine...

    200tdi steering box drop arm removal and seal replacement

    If your doing the seal....heat the arm....a long bar from the top on to the edge of the arm where the splines are and a few smacks with a real hammer. Or split it with a grinder and fit a new one. Yes you can fit the seals from the bottom and yes it can be successful....you just have to know...
