    Island 4x4 website - broken?

    It is a shame, I don’t know of another LR seller in North Kent, but it’s been a ‘sign of the times’ for many years which is still is, that is ordering parts on line. In Kent’s Medway City Estate there was a LR parts seller, that seemed to have most stuff, I purchased a brand new and complete...

    Rimmer Brothers

    There’s not many places you can get a genuine parts of the shelf, and which may be obsolete, and then delivery in a couple of days, Rimmer’s did it with my few orders taken over the years.

    P38A Reverse lamp, electrickery knowledgeable peeps, what do you think?

    That will work. 😊 I changed my disco reverse bulbs a couple of year ago for fun, the only thing that changed was the colour, a white light with a faint blue tinge, the light was a bit brighter but without any extra range of illumination which I expected. ☹️

    P38A Reverse lamp, electrickery knowledgeable peeps, what do you think?

    I’m So 18 watts / 12 volts = 1.5 amps. And if you still the standard 2x21watt bulbs = 3.5 amps, so the vehicles wiring will be capable of handling the extra current load.

    Disco 2 Auto box cooler hoses question.

    It may look nice when new and maybe see it behind the rad grill. I believe that Allisport products can exceed the specifications of the factory issue item when used in a performance and competition setting in which a quick additional cooling is required.

    Retro fit dRL?

    Tungsten side light bulbs are dimmer than white LED DRL bulbs, if the side lights are LED then there's usually less LEDs than the DRL fitting

    Disco 2 Auto box cooler hoses question.

    1. Standard hydraulic glands to suit. 2. It varies with engine speed, my D1 should be at idle 665 to 735rpm around 6.1 bar, 10 bar at 2000rpm. Check your D2 Workshop manual it could be different pressure. 3. Nope just LR, but there’s after market suff I expect.

    Transfer box output nut torque

    I take it your post is regarding your 200 series D1, because there’s no mention of it, although it appears a D2 has slipped into the conversation which you haven’t mentioned either 🤔 Anyway from the horse’s mouth… a LR D1 workshop manual, a list of all the torque settings associated with a...
