    300Tdi Engine Tuning.

    Allisport intercooler is a good start (30-40 bhp) then tweak your pump again. K&N Filter will certainly help. Sometimes ram feed snorkels help by getting nice cold air for above the vehicle (Safari snorkels). Then you can work on the exhaust, get rid of the silencers/particle filters/catalysts...

    New springs

    if doing your springs etc you should seriously consider ploybushing the thing as well. Radius arms will help your steering feel more natural. I would recommend terrafrima they are extremly tough and good quality.

    TD5 Fuel Filter ARRRGH!

    unlucky with the casing. to prime td5 you need to switch on the ignition on and depress the accelerator 5 times before the engine management light goes out. you will hear the pump start up and the em light will flash until ready. this can take 5-10mins especially if you put the filter in empty...

    TD5 transfer box upgrade

    Ashcroft Transmissions cheap if u fancy cracking the box urself... ask them about a straight exchange i'm sure they'll do it much cheaper than 650 if you are fitting/removing the box urself and giving them and exchange unit. plus u have a fully rebuilt transfer box out of the deal.

    TD5 transfer box upgrade

    I'm half sure that it won't fit due to the mounts. Wat u need to do is look at something like ashcroft transmissions where u could swap in your old one for the right one with the upped ratio's (basically the discos cogs in the right case).

    Defender Ownership

    i agree more comfortable but more adaptable? No way Defenders got that down... you can't change a disco into a pick up in an hour and back again can you? You can't turn it from a 12 seater mini bus then back to a 2 seater van and then back to a pick up.

    Defender Ownership

    i've driven defenders since i was 18 and I love them. A 110 sounds like what you would need but I would take a serious look at a td5 series 2 disco mate there are some real tidy ones about and that might be better for doing the family thing... and u will get more for your money (electric windows...
