    Disco 1 - 300TDI Auto (gearbox question)

    I assume under should be than. I guess you've never seen a wheel spin backwards under downhill engine braking and the vehicle take off. HDC uses the brakes.

    Disco 1 - 300TDI Auto (gearbox question)

    Ive done series offloading....that's what it was built for....as I said above I drive it in D. If it goes to fast I brake, it just does the same thing. The forces are transmitted to the ground through the tyres....you have grip or you dont. Never had a problem, I think engine braking offroad...

    Disco 1 - 300TDI Auto (gearbox question)

    No. It has know way to know if you are in low, high or neutral Descending hills ? I have a 300tdi auto in my rangerover...in my profile pic...I drive it in D all the time, up hill or downhill....it has brakes :)

    chassis

    Rear outriggers are different. No big deal if your going to chop up a chassis you can swap an outrigger or 2 :)

    Scotland - No Public Access?

    All land belongs to someone in Scotland. You are not allowed to drive on any of it without the land owners permission. Will you get permission....probably not. :)

    Galvanised Chassis

    Not really the same but I recently went to look at a fence I worked on 39 years ago.....post and rail...nailed together with 4" galvanized nails. A lot of the posts are still standing, most of the rails are gone but .....the galvanized nails are still sticking in the posts and look like brand...

    Galv Chassis

    I have a Maer 110 one sitting here. Haven't started to build it up yet. Looks well made of decent stuff. All the holes I was expecting seem to be there. Maer seem decent enough to deal with. They have been in touch since buying asking for feedback. Chassis came with all brackets/...

    90 to 110 brakes - have I been an arse?

    If you have no vacuum you should have a rock solid high up btake pedal .....but you will not stop unless you have both feet pressing it :)

    90 to 110 brakes - have I been an arse?

    Did you have brakes before :) Then youll have brakes after...... The 90 servo/master cylinder will work the 110 calipiers no bother....the pedel travels a few mm more but youd expect that as it needs to shift more fluid. The servo should make no difference to distance of brake travel. The...

    Disco 2 Considering a galvanised replacement chassis

    They are priced in Euro with Polish vat at 23%. We buy stuff in £ and pay 20% vat :) Collected my chassis from Billing show.....cheapest way to get. A couple of hundred quid of fuel is much cheaper than delivery. And I went to the show :)

    Maer Chassis

    Most of the deal was done on facebook. Bank transfered the deposit. Only slight hitch was getting in to the show ground to collect it, had to wait until 5pm until the crowd left. £1920 collected from the show. Comes with crossmembers and brackets. No one else was close to that price. The...

    I think I’ve brought a ringer……..

    What do you mean by "series 3 hybrid" Usually that would mean to me someone has stuck a series 3 body on a coil sprung rangerover chassis..... What identity you looking for...the series? or the rangerover? Probably youd have a rangerover pretending to be a series :) Also better to do a bit of...
