    Disco 2 TD5 Permanent Fuel Pressure Gauge

    I machined a some steel to make a T piece and then used the fittings and one of the hoses from an old fuel pressure regulator to connect it all up inline. Displayed the readings on one of the pressure readouts of my Madman EMS2 then.

    Roof Console

    I've fitted one to my TD5 and even with the small TTi9000 cb radio, it was still pretty tight. I'd imagine finding a radio that'll fit without cutting a little out of the headlining behind the console.

    Bankz's 110 Double Cab

    Where did you bolt the subframes to in the body? That's the only thing I was thinking about if should use all the orginal mounting points for strength or not. Or just anywhere and hace spreader plates underneath.

    16x10 Modulars on a Defender?

    Yea, you see some lads snapping CVs and shafts every 2nd day they go out but if watch how they drive, you can see why. I drive mine hard and I used get my 110 with KM2s where guys with traybacks were beaten a few times but I still knew where I was ****ing in the wind trying to get passed a...

    16x10 Modulars on a Defender?

    I've had 15x10s with 33x12.5 and 35x12.5 muds on tuned TD5 110s 6 or 7 years with maybe 70-80k miles with no issues. Both 110s were on 2" lifts and extended arches and were fine for clearance and no poking for mot failure lol. Have ran my 130 on 35x12.5s even on standard suspension ans arches...

    Is it safe to drive with one rear half shaft removed?

    Yea, the locker gives amazing traction. Between that, the trutrac on the front combined with the 35x12.5 KM2s and 180odd bhp, there wasn't much that troubled it :D I did find the trutrac gave a bit of torque steer on the road however and you'd notice the rear locker working against you a little...

    Replacing the centre silencer box TD5?

    Discos sound lovely with decat and center box delete. Defenders sound great but without a bulkhead or lots of sound deadening it can get a little tedious on a long trip I suppose. I've had a 110dcpu and then 110 2 door with a bulkhead in it so noise was fine but did get abit louder when took...

    Is it safe to drive with one rear half shaft removed?

    I broke drive flange bolts on the back of my last 110 and had to run without the right driveshaft to get home and it pulled a fair bit to one side but that had a detroit rear locker and tru-trac front. Pinion bearing gave up on my 130 recently so pulled both halfshafts and front prop on the...

    Bankz's 110 Double Cab

    Ahhh! I knew there was something but couldn't remember. I had test fitted the same seats in my first 110 a few years ago too which was a 110dcpu and it was abit more awkward to get them sitting in a nice position now that ai think of it and they ended up being a few inches higher so headroom...

    Bankz's 110 Double Cab

    Those subframes are tidy. I must do the same for my 130 to fit my two rear Recaros. I'm making a full length center console like a cubby box back to the rear window. The cab of the 110dcpu and 130 is exactly the same so no difference in rear seat room. Would have room to play2with in a CSW or...

    130 rolling chassis project. What's it worth?

    Have a 130 project that a few people are interested in. Not really sure what it's worth. Chassis is very good solid and just needs cleaning down and painting. Bulkhead is reasonably solid apart from some rot on the top of the passenger footwell. Roof has a few dents Bodywork needs work. Rear...

    Lockers and axles

    Lockers and axles Currently on my 110 have a Salisbury rear axle with detroit locker and front detroit tru-trac. Building an 130 next and not sure if I'll just use the axles from the 110 or go with air lockers and stick with the Rover short nose P38 style rear axle. Thinking of air lockers as...

    5th wheel trailers

    Yup, the cops will jump on it and assume its illegal until proven otherwise. Would really need concrete proof in writing to show them there and then :)
