Love my Milwaukee M18 grease gun. Works everytime, unlike every manual one I have ever had.

I've had dozens of various Land Rovers vehicles with V8's in them. For the love of God please don't waste your money on Champion plugs. The quality is terrible in my experience. I only fit NGK, or Denso. Get a set NGK BCP6ES for a road car or...

Oooooo, hold on. I search for ‘spark plug’ but I have now found this old timer… https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/ngk-or-champion.95499/

I have always used NGK plugs and plug caps since running a Suzuki TS50ER (restricted, but unrestricted to 42mph back in the day). An RD125DX, a GT250, a GSX750, a ZXR750H2 and a GSXR1000K3 followed… all on NGK. Even the current Husaberg TE300...

Some pics of the re positioned Track rod protector thing. I could lose the washers and make a proper Alloy spacer plate, or, I could have just thrown it all in the bin... You Decide... I also have fitted a cheap Alternator triggered Tacho...

Do we have a AI bot around?

Rear wheel arches strengthened with formed inner ali sections panel bonded into place, few other repair sections fitted. New inner wheel arches bonded and rivited along with new floor and rear cross section all bonded rivited and bolted using 5mm...

First try with a laptop on sponsors… 😀

You’ll know far more than I - I’ve still got lots of research to do. Last car I had with a dizzy was a good 10 years ago and that was jap and very reliable. I’m putting a v8 into a 300tdi disco. I do have a v8 loom but I wanted something easy...

They seem to use hyperspark as their ignition. Love the look of the sniper 2 as a fuel injection replacement. https://www.holley.com/products/ignition/hyperspark_ignition_for_sniper_efi/

I’ve done a bit of research on this of recent. I was going to go megasquirt but am now leaning towards either Holley sniper 2 or fitech for my build. I don’t want to be messing about with maps etc. I just want something that self learns and had...

Interesting…

Discussion here on a Series 3: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/electronic-ignition-123-vs-britpart.355918/#post-4945249 And a good (old) discussion here: https://forum.britishv8.org/read.php?6,30614,page=1 However after messing about...

I went the whole hog and bought a Momo for my Disco. More room is essential, I think that looks fine!

Here is a picture of the wheel, a Bolt on bits special from eBay. Used them for a few bits and pieces. More elbow room.

Front ATB is in! Of course its the Ultrabuild spec from Xcess4x4. Same ATB thatbwas in the D2, just stripped, cleaned and rebuilt. Also resealed the cam cover cap, alternator Vac line. Both had little leaks so hopefully im leak free now...

Folks, I'm so happy. Today I spent a few minutes at my Landy, because I wanted to be able to move on refitting the fuel pump the next days. My solution: I created my own "Adapter-Ring-Fitting-Tool" using two steel-angles and a few bolts: That...

Hello Ladies & Gents, I post this here, because I think it might be an "general" Topic, regarding all Land Rover Models. If this is the wrong sub-forum please move it to where it belongs. The story of this "repair" started a few month ago...

I wanted to check the oil pressure to rule out a low pressure problem while investigating a tapping noise, unfortunately the method to connect a gauge as described in the workshop manual is impossible on the Thor engine due to ancilliaries and...

I can see you have the turbo now, I was just going to say that Andrew at Allisport is a mine of information (fairly obvious) and a dang nice & helpful bloke. You won’t go wrong with anything with their brand on (or associated with). It looks...

Will it ever warm up???? I suppose the last 2 days haven't been too bad, my blood must be getting thin. I have a short list of things to do and a couple of days would do it. I've got a front anti-roll bar to fit and a straight through silencer in...

As I keep picking away at silly little things, which need doing, the latest of which was a new battery, as the one fitted was very small and after a 20 mile drive on the Dual carriageway with the sidelights on, I left it outside the Engineering...

Erm, so where was I ...... OK I was Adjusting the wastegate to give a little more squeeze, and was edging up a bit at a time when at 14 psi it started to get noisy, you guessed it, we have found the limit of the original inter-cooler core, which...

Testing... To be Continued.........

Scabby wheels: I'm a shallow guy who likes shiny things I suppose These were contributing to the Stop this and throw the book at it Look . It's a pain to rub them down, but the weather isn't great and Neither is the Telly,so after an hour or...

It is more or less ready to use now, I have went through most of it and have sorted what needed sorting and will use and evaluate what happens next. Rear axle: oil changed, new calipers and pads. Will change out backplates for the MOT as they...

Been Busy doing battle with the Landy the last couple of days. It would appear that some work was done at chassis exchange time, but very little thereafter, so lots of siezed /mullered bolts, but slowly getting there. All lubricants renewed...
