Prep looks ****. And they were trigger happy with the gun, but that doesn't mean a whole lot, they rust from the inside out anyway. If in doubt, move on. Plenty of others to choose from.

Sounds like a lose injector/blown seal. The seal doesn't seal so you get sharp release of air pressure which sounds like a ticking. The injector may not feel lose when trying to wriggle it.

I just removed the reverse light and it was M5. Rusted to all hell, so had to use a drill.

I'll let you know, but it's supposed to be better for general driving on all terrains, and towing. To be fair, the 1.4 is the standard box on a 90/Defender (ignoring the 1.6 on some). Suffice to say I now know why Land Rover didn't fit the 1.2 to Defenders. It's weak (not structurally, just weak...

Mine is a short bellhousing. Isuzu engine to a R380 Short to a 1.2 Transfer box, which is terrible in Wales. Changing it to a 1.4 on Saturday, thank christ. If the last owner was trying to make it undriveable on anything but a flat surface, he succeeded admirably.

I've got the R380 Short fitted. Original seatbox and LT77 tunnel. Not sure about props as I didn't fit it.

Depends on budget. I prefer Stedi. Very high end, very well built, Made in the UK, not China.

Buy her a Vx Corsa.

You can fit a boost controller to any TC car.

~32k I'd say, if in very good nick.

I bought an abandoned galv chassis project, complete vehicle in bits for 1k during covid.

If wetting the belt cures the problem it wont be a bearing. Either the belt is slightly misaligned when going around one of the loops, or the belt is worn. Changing the belt should fix the issue.

I got a KTM 640 in the back of a Vx Corsa. You couldn't do that with a 90 lol

I wasn't having a dig, merely drawing a line under it. I've read hundreds of posts across forums about these T-Boxes and the most important factor is almost always missing when deciding to fit these boxes; the topography of where the vehicle is used. You know it, I know it, but from what I've...

Don't consider a 1.2 unless you live in Norfolk (Pancake flat). I've got a 1.2 in my Defender from the previous owner (North Bristol = flat). I live in the Clwyd range in Wales (hill country). a completely useless T box for this environment. The distance between 3rd and 4th is what makes it...

Oh I can guarantee it.:)

Depends how good with the spanners you are. At the end of the day its just nuts and bolts and some wiring. If your intelligent, patient and have the money, anything is possible.

Well get your tent out then

I modify heads. A second head means the vehicle is off road 2-3 hours rather than a week.

OK, OK, put your dummy back in. Only had it for 5 minutes, barely had time to look under the bonnet. Still after a Cyl Head if anyone got one for sale??
