    Boxes OFF!!!

    Cheers Grunt, I was only gonna bother with the centre hatch but I suppose it'll be far easier to get at everything with all seats out. Im gonna send it away as one lump, not gonna bother splitting em and get them to send it back as one lump save a bit of faffing around. Bloat, it being a...

    Boxes OFF!!!

    The tranny box and gearbox are coming off!!! Its not an issue for the rebuilding, im sending them away to Ashcroft transmissions for that, as i would like it to stay in one piece after its been done!!! Just wondered about the removal and refitting, how difficult is it to re connect the linkages...

    300TDi and Tractor engine oil.

    Been a while since ive been on, but hey here i am. I know this has been covered before, but im no expert on the ins and outs of oil. We have a farm and have 15w30 oil for the tractors, will this be fine in my 300TDi? I know the oils of good enough quality and that i would usually put either...

    dodgy left indicator.

    I had a very similar experience a couple of weeks ago, couldnt see anything wrong anywhere so took it to local auto electrics spot. They found a wire on the inner wing that had either worn through or been chewed and was shorting the system. It was also blowing fuses like no tomorrow, so try...

    1970's Range Rover going north in November 08

    No oil leaks? Frankly i find it offensive that you can even suggest such a thing!!! Regards ideas, save your money and dont do the chequer plate door card thing. Get at least a front diff guard, some decent tyres and probably rig up a fridge. If you've loadsa money to throw at it, then theres...

    Rebuilding front axle.

    Well ive had a couple of slack days with work the beginning of this week so i thought it a good time to rebuild my front axle. New swivels, cv's, all bearings etc and a good second hand diff. Started it yesterday afternoon and got finished this evening. Would have been done about 3 hours earlier...

    200tdi glow plugs

    I never really got into the N/A side of things just stuck to the turbos, but the lads were certainly using 13:1 CR pistons without any fancy gas etc. I mean i can find stock 11.8:1 forged pistons on butonpower website and i know the likes of Harris performance and HT racing run high CR's than...

    200tdi glow plugs

    Thinking aloud here and i may have got the wrong end of the stick here, but surely a land rover can't have a compression ratio of 13.1 or 14.1 especially on a turbo engine. I mean some guys I used know that had converted cosworth YB engines to N/A and were using that sort of compression ratio...

    200tdi glow plugs

    Ok yeah 'nipped up' is probably the wrong phrase, but theres no need to start getting a 21ft scaff pole on your wrench to get em tight. Regards compression ratio on the cossie it was 7.6:1 - low compression to accomodate the additional pressure. What CR do landies run?? I'd be interested to know...

    200tdi glow plugs

    Additionally, contrary to popular belief glow plugs don't need to be ridiculously tight, just nipped up!!! Just cause its a combustion chamber doesnt mean its gonna blow the plugs clean out and through the bonnet, nipped up nicely is fine!!! Bearing in mind i used to run a 410bhp escort cosworth...
