Slindon Safari probably the best for an RR. Mudmonsters / Piccadilly wood (Haywards Heath/East Grinstead) would be too extreme for it. Elham Valley in Folkstone

Oem flanges dont have the best tolerances so you do get a fair bit of fretting and transmission slap. Fairly reduced with the HD flanges! Think ill stick with britpart shafts and CVs takes a fair bit of lead foot and shockload to actually break...

Those HD CVs are seriously expensive too. I agree with the above - I reckon if you hadve had cheap members they would’ve cheesed up first. Do you decide where the weakest link is to be and make it the cheapest part lol? Like you said, go HD with...

😂 😂 Yeah standard shafts, that one only went in in December! Tbf I like the look of the HD flanges! They worked well on my old 110. Often talked about is having cheap flanges or even cutting a few splines off them to make them specifically...

love it built in redundacy and sacrificial parts selection due to extreme driver superb!!!!

That’s some torque… think as all your stuff is HD when it goes,it goes well… Form them pics I would say the shaft splines would not give way and expanded while been twisted. Once it was wedged in the stub that’s when it snapped the shaft. (See...

LR has issued a new standard for durability testing the "joshtest' we have yet to see how many suppliers do in this space, News just in ......Britpart and Terrafirma have ceased trading as a result.

Well this is a first, even for me 😅😅 Had a new CV & Shaft delivered to today from Empire, went about swapping it over after work today. Easy hours work or so I thought.... Found the problem, thankfully not the diff!! Forgot my 52mm socket...

Went to Piccadilly Wood yesterday, was a great day with the Empire lot except may have sent it a little too hard and broken what is likely a CV/shaft on the drivers side. If not its the front diff but I would be suprised if it was given its an...

Did you adjust the steering box with the adjustment screw?

I suppose that I’ve convinced myself that it would be a little more lively, responsive and economical

Speak to Gareth at Empire Tuning. He does the crusie control kits and can recalibrate the ECU if you have different ratios. As always a full vehicle health check would be done before mapping. Empire has done all of my Land Rovers and all of my...

Is the engine in full health? check out some of @bankz5152 threads then. J

That is an excellent tip! Will need a party wall agreement as the carport roof is shared with next door! Not done any car work yet! 😅 been busy laying floor, painting and sorting the house out!

Put a free standing roller garage door infront of the carport. Give it the correct amount of planning time then it becomes a garage… thats what we done after they refused it. Now have you introduced the neighbours to grinding & welding yet...

Thank you!! Long time coming! Cars absolutely lovely. Drives so well and rather comfortable! Cant say its fantastic on fuel getting maybe 200miles from £60 🙈 Wifes not keen on the white but prefers the WRX over the 86. Far more practical as...

I was only looking at these the other day. I used to have a twinscroll legacy import. One of most capable cars I’ve ever had. I’m bored with my daily and starmer has literally taken the benefit of me running it so will probably go private car...

Oh and congrats on house!!

Not much to say! Been busy moving house, finally getting my own space back to work on the cars. Got a lovely car port (just over 2 cars long, 1.5 wide) and an outdoor workshop to start with. Will eventually try and turn the carport into a...

gotta love the glow when they blow fuses, i was a little sausage fingers with the interior bulb replacement oopsey!
