If you dont have a CDL and break a diff or a shaft ...no matter how good the traction control is you wont move :)

Dont go on the motorway in Austria or Switzerland and you dont have to buy one. You'll defiantly need the usual stuff to avoid a fine. Standard to get checked and fined for any of the following. GB sticker or euro/gb number plates. (next year might be different) Head light deflectors Alcohol...

71 J reg had no power steering. It has now using a disco steering box....and disco 300tdi pump...because it has a disco 300 tdi engine :)

No plans for the v8. Why?

Im planning the same...ish, v8 to td5 and gearbox from a disco2. Ive seen it done :) One thing you need to sort....the disco ecu needs an immobilizer signal from the body module. 3 ways I know to overcome this. 1 - Get a new ecu 2 - Send your ecu to a guy on ebay and he'll remove that...

When I saw this I though fit a 300 any day but..... The 200 is in and proven to be good (enough) , even I wouldn't rip out a bag of bolts running 200 to fit a 300 :)

Yes the basic engine will fit. you'll obviously have to swap the flywheel/clutch and probably fit a spiggot bush to the end of the crank Some autos had electronic fuel pumps that were wired to the auto box. If it still has that eletronic pump you might have to swap over the pump and maybe...

what usually happens with alt lights.....which this seems to be the same.....12v comes from ign goes through the alternator light and earths through the alternator when its not turning.....the light lights....the brown/yellow wire will be 0v. start the engine the alternator starts charging and...

Ive not read all the comments....but Ive worked on 1000s of transits and its the same engine :) Nonsense...no amount of metal particles from the turbo would block the oil filter. It would have to be so worn the oil would have poured down the exhaust there would have been clouds of smoke or a...

Spigot Bearing ?

Elgin -> Dundonnell ->Ullapool -> Durness -> Lairg -> Elgin on Thursday in the snow......saw 100s of red deer but very few cars :)

Id go for the fit it so the propshaft fits aswell....hoses are easier to make than propshafts

Got a D2 screen fitted by national windscreens a couple of months ago. Spoke to the guy first and he said there is no way to save the top seal so have to buy a new seal. A plain glass, seal and fitting....all in £200. Your quote seems a bit steep to me, I did ask about a heated screen as it...

you've not seen it!! at the moment its only slightly better than scrap :)

Theres a very big chance the V8 will be coming out :) I could easily stick it on a pallet as im not very local to you :D V5 says its a 15g - Land Rover 90/110 8.13:1cr . not looked at the actual engine number. I'll have a look tomorrow and see what it is. I've had lpg'd 3.5 and 3.9 before...
