Does the chassis you have have a chassis number? If it does, I assume it's not going to match the v5. In which case you have two separate things - a 90 with no v5 and an 88 and with no physical parts. If, and I suspect this is unlikely, the chassis number does match the V5 that you have...

I was chatting to a 300 disco ower the other day, whose build had factory abs. He was complaining about the discos control modules (which I think do the abs as well, right?) I just mention this out of caution. I think I'd rather do it from scratch rather than fit shifty old landrover parts...

There's a reason someone put that red stuff on the side. And it wasn't just because they liked the look of the red stuff. I'm always astounded at the prices being asked. It's got no galvanized bulkhead. It's got no galvanized chassis. It's not some original collectors piece either. It's got...

I've got a stack of knackered turbos here, which is like to swap the carts on, but I've not found anyone on any of the forums who has actually successfully managed to. All the reports are that they (the replacement carts) either fail instantly or very soon after fitting. Sure, they're all...

If you can, fit a boost gauge to the "spare" / blanked port on the back of the inlet manifold. Assuming you're not burning oil (are you loosing oil) then it's a fuel air ratio issue. If you're not seeing enough air at the manifold when under load then that will be it. ...however The way the...

Mot check online. Ignore everything other than emissions and corrosion. Much in the way of corrosion in the history and it doesn't really matter how shiny the paintwork is.

Last time I had to get the a frame taper out, I used a metal stake (that is normally used for holding down concrete shuttering - maybe 20mm diameter?) and aligned it as best as I could with the bottom of the "bolt" and had at it with a lump hammer. I'm aware you can't get the best angle. It...

Im aware this thread is years old, but it just came up in a search. What was the conclusion in the end?

Ps. I did not use the Ashcroft parts, I'm just linking to the text on their site. I used the britpart "HD" half shafts (about £120 each, ish, iirc) and terrafirma flanges. I hear bad things about terra firma, but plenty of people seem to use their flanges, and they were confirmed to work with...

I've not looked to see what this part is for, but the text is the same in all cases anyway - https://ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/product/859/

I probably shouldn't have mentioned the flanges, as it was the shafts that were the issue - I had done the "cheap fix" of the flanges the year before and it made a total of "zero" difference! : ) I understand that its normally the flanges that go before the shaft, but, i guess, someone...

My 110 had a whole load of power take up clonk... It failed it's last MOT on the a frame ball. I changed that, and a while load of the slack was gone. The power take up had been bad for years and it only just failed on the ball, so it must have actually been bad for a long time, but the...

Mine has the original gearbox, mounted to the new engine, using a zeus custom bellhousing (this was 20 years or so ago) I think M&D still sell an adapter plate, but im not sure. The gear stick on mine is raised (as in the gear stick that the operator handles), with its ball joint mounted on a...

I rarely drive mine, but I think I calculated 22mpg on our trip to France years ago. International engines HS2.8 with variable vane turbo. Ironically, my fuel is near free, so the consideration then becomes carrying capacity more than mpg. (I am in the process of making up a replacement fuel...

Just use your eyes - they will break as soon as you look at them, so why bother getting a special tool?

I removed one side on my partners fl2 a couple of years ago to weld up the back of the sill. It wasn't put back on.

No thin sheet is ever dipped (so far as I know) as the distortion would be crazy. I got my bulkhead dipped and that's thicket than door skins and still bends a bit. A door skin would be crazy. There was a company a while back that was talking about dipping the pressed puma style rear door...

I'm going to get a new back door. I will be buying the box section hot dipped one, with an alloy skin. I don't rate the electroplated steel stuff really.

Id like to see a web page with all those examples. I suspect I could spend an age on Google and get the same.... ....which is why I'd like to see them all in one place!

I intend to fit some, as its painful trying to get large stuff on the roof rack without climbing all over the wings. I probably wont bother with the bonnet, just the wings. (my current wings are so dished on the top that they collect water when parked)
