I was sort of hoping you were a breaker and would buy them, I stuck them up on here a while ago, not even a nibble, so took them down.

Not much more than scrap value, but Im right in the top corner of north Wales

I have 2 complete 3.9 V8s if anyone is interested in buying them to break, one auto one manual

Do you mean sequential turbochargers, or compound turbochargers? Sequential is small turbo for low revs, big turbo for higher revs. (Like many 90s Japanese performance cars, Toyota Supra, Subaru Legacy GTB, Mazda RX7, etc) Compound turbo is small turbo all the time, and big turbo feeding the...

Currently, nothing starts. Both have dead batteries, and with a jump, one turns over, and the other starts if you fiddle with the starter motor wire, at least that was the case when I looked last, which was last year. The manual one had MoT and was driven daily until the end of 2022, everything...

Id be very supprised if they changed them, although they might be different depending on the gearbox? Blocks are identical, just bored out for the 3.9s

Yep, 5th is taller. Transfer boxes on all the discos are the same, are they not? Defenders are shorter. Basically, if I scrap my discos, is it worth me keeping my gearbox for its taller 5th gear, or can I just rebuild any future R380 I might own with a taller 5th gear?

I think its 2540kg for an RRC and 2720kg for a D1, or thereabouts. Also another random question, if youre rebuilding an R380 from a 300tdi, can you use 5th gear from a V8, and is it easy to get hold of the parts?

The shell isnt that bad, its been welded before. Also, why change body type? Arent they both the same catagory? Only downside I see is loosing payload.

Your work carpark must be quite safe then, I presume? Or have you some other theft deterrant? A large sack of horse manure in the back?

Another quick question - will a facelift D1 body fit on a RRC chassis? And in that case I could use the RRC reg (possibly tax exempt) and use carbs and no cats. Or even an earlier disco chassis, I think 1993 is the cutoff date for cats, and therefore carbs.

How long is your commute, how fast are the roads, and how many pedestrians stare at you as you conspicuously bumble along?

Theres generally a good way to tell. If the person selling it to you can tell you how and why it works in a way that makes logical sence, then its probably correct. Top hat liners definately work - theres no question about that. Really what you're asking is, "is there anything wrong with the...

Lovely. I was tempted by a twinscroll but the cost of a 6 speed manual was 3 times what I paid for my 3.0 one. Also tempted by BMWs and Audis, but only for the 6-pot diesel engines, and I dont do enough miles to part with my Legacy at the moment. On that note, have you considered non-land rover...
