Thanks. The 1:1 is just a cog you can buy from Ashcrofts and fit to the LT230. Increasing tyre size won't work because of the limited availability of road tyres with the right ratings in larger than standard dimensions. The market caters more for offroading in that arena. A change of 20%...

Does anyone have any knowledge Re this solution: KAM528 – For Long Nose Differentials | KAM Differentials

Thanks. I'm pretty sure Dave just offers a 4.1 and a 4.7 option so heading in the wrong direction. Obviously the most common demand is to compensate for bigger tyres etc so it isn't likely many want to go the way I am. The LT230 1:1 change is perfect as a 20% drop is just about spot on but it...

I've been contemplating using a 1:1 in an LT230 instead of the standard 1:1.2 so that cruising speeds are at a more sensible rpm. The car doesn't offroad and there is no need for super low gearing and the engine will be better suited to this sort of set up. However, if I use the borg Warner...

Hi mate. Yup. Certainly been a while. Kids are now old enough to climb in themselves which makes a two door viable now and after investigating multiple auto and manual gearbox solutions I have decided that a hydraulic ZF is going to give the smoothest drive and if I scale back the engine...

After years of faffing about and collecting parts the build is about to start in the next few weeks. Innitial work will be to replace with a new, later Trans tunnel and install an uprated ZX box and Borg Warner TC. This set up lived quite happily in my Overfinch so will handle whatever final...

It's a cracking but desperately non original car. I think the alloys are lovely but they might not stay on if they don't look right once all the late trim is removed and replaced with 1980/1 spec.

There is a project thread for the car on Pistonheads. It's somewhat disjointed and over the four years since buying the car and putting it in storage has evolved into a decent into madness over drivetrain options. Long and short of it, I had grand plans for the car as at the time I was semi...

These are the WT5s currently on one of mine:

Not sure in dates. They appeared in the mid 70's and I suspect they halted in the late 80s. They have a different offset to RoStyles so stick out more which can look good. I've not decided if I like them on mine yet. Once I've returned the exterior to a 70s spec over its current 90s one...

Yup. WT5's. Very rare and used by most of the custom coach builders of the 70's and 80's. Worth silly money to those restoring something like a Glenfrome or Carmichael etc.

Not sure. They were still building the 2 door for European commercial markets until almost the end. This particular CSK was up at £63 prior to the auction but I thought it went unsold at the auction itself?

Hi mate. Much better. Thanks for asking. There's two sproggs now! It does read like a trigger's broom or a lawsuit waiting to happen but I think it's more down to a badly written sales article. Work on the '72 is starting. Currently have a mint '89 as the everyday car and recently added a...

I think they only opened the doors of the SVD this year. Without that dept you are spot on. :D

They've just paid £100m for one of the largest UK collections of mostly classic Jags. Plus, they are rolling out some new ETypes. In general their new Special Ops dept has been written a big cheque and is busy spending it. Harry Metcalfe also likes old Rangies. As for making money, they are a...

so the identity of this important icon was inadvertently disguised for a further 6 years. During this time a similar Range Rover was mocked up with the registration 'YVB 151H' by enthusiasts in a bid to try and trace #001, unaware of course that at the time the original registration number had...

Yup. They came with 4 cappings as part of the Wood and Pickett trim level. It was my search for a set of early two door cappings that lead me into finding the In Vogue. I was at the specialist yesterday discussing the re-laquering of the originals for the In Vogue and a perfect...

Less than a set on Wingards. ;) :D A weird spot of luck. I was expecting to wait a couple of years for one to come up in Ebay and for it to be missing bits but the day after I set up the alert this cropped up as a complete case and a Buy it Now. I've gambled that when I come to sell this one...

Yes, they have a hamper, more carpet, wood cappings and a larger cubby box. It took me three years to find the '72 as I wanted one that was totally solid but not original as I wasn't going to bastardise one that was.
