Her's one for you boffins out there... My mate's got a 200 90... he's had a good old fiddle with it, pump opened up, boost pin fitted and boost around the 15/16psi, de-cat and a small silencer in line before it comes out behind the passenger door... When he comes past me floggin it at night...

Ah cool, yes, had to do it a couple of times (as i've never done it before), but the final attempt was pretty much exactly as you said, with the bearing cups torqued to the settings in the overhaul manual, i think it was about 80 nm or there about. Did you use a press to get the bearings on...

Brown, how did you find the LSD's on road, any different? My mate's got LSD's front and back, goes pretty much everywhere and keeps taking the p*ss, as his setup is the same price as my rear locker i got on my 90... :( Building a tomcat atm, so i think i'll be going for slips front and back...

Sorry to butt in here gents, just gotto ask a question... a few weeks ago i fitted a rear locker in my 90, checked the backlash with dial guage before stripping everything... Backlash was just over 6 thou. replaced bearings and fitted the locker, but I set the backlash to about 5 thou as the...

I changed to the LED stop /tail lights from bolt on bits a few weeks ago after ages of messing around with lamps not fitting in the housings properly, water getting in and corroding the fittings... The LED's are so much better, sealed units and much brighter!! next for me will be front side...

:D:D:D Love it!!! wrong place to start talking about how good freelanders are.... :crazy:

Been ringing around, and Bearmach are sending me 2 of each of all the radius arm nuts they do... I will find these b@$tard nuts!!!

Hi guys, sorry only replying now, I don't have the nuts to hand, hence needing the thread so I can buy some new ones! It's the narrower radius arms, the bracket that the arm bolts onto on the axle casing is about 48mm wide. The rear threaded part of the arm is 15mm wide (diameter) . I'll post...

Hi Guys, Does anybody know what thread the nut is, that fixes the rear part of the radius arm to the chassis bracket?? Am I wrong in thinking it's M16 UNF?? (not sure what M16 is in old money... :confused:) There's definitely a difference between defender/disco thread and the rangy...

Started on the axles the other day, making good progress... Sandblasted, primed and on it's 3rd coat of black. Havent done the diff yet mind!!

Ok, that was alot simpler than I thought.... As you can see, stripped the manifolds off, as there was alot of thick EGR black stuff in the intake manifold, and still alot in the head... What's your thoughts on this? head off, clean and replace with new head gasket, or whilst it's off get it...

I bought the frame welded on to a really good chassis, most of the body panels i need, a couple of axles, a running 300tdi engine outve a disco and a few other electrical bits, gauges, looms etc. so my main aim is to rebuild as much as i can myself, so I know where i stand! First thing was to...

Righto, Done a few searches on here to see if anyone has done a Tomcat build thread and found none... Would this be the section to start one?? I'd like to put my progress on here and would welcome tips/advice as I go along!!?? Cheers Loz

:pop2: God I enjoyed reading this thread!! hahaha! what a loon! :doh:

Thanks for the info, I'll go with the 24's then! Turboman, I'm considering the Ashcroft lsd's as they are a bit cheaper, but I'm sure they'll bee sufficient for green laning and the odd pay n play site! :biggrin1:

I've got the choice between a couple of sets of axles that I want to stick an ARB locker into for my tomcat.... -Old rangy 10spline one, and -300tdi disco 24 spline one there's a bit've price difference between the lockers, 10 spline being about £200 more than the 24... any reason for...

Like it Jase, good pic!!

I thought the 200tdi "refinement" to make the 300 was little things like improving flow through the head, amongst other things... I phoned a reputable aluminium sport intercooler manufacturer ;) the other day, regarding their uprated intercooler and the VNT turbo... So asked about gas flowing...

Hi guys, Sorry if this has been asked before!! Are the swivel balls interchangeable between the Nearside and off side of the axle?? I've got two nice in putted ones taken off from the near side and two really pitted offside ones, so guna use the other nice one if that'll work?? Any...
