No moving parts, that's why they are good

3.2?

OGB, Are you heading out to Morocco with us, next March?

I have a paper Morocco map with our last trip detailed on it with what day we stopped marked on it.

Im officially lost on all this mapping talk, I'll stick to oily things, nuts and bolts and worrying about tire pressures

What's a Sebkat?

282 miles between Assa and Smara, sounds fun, I don't mind going if that what everyone else wants to do, I'm easy. Don't we need some government paperwork in enter and leave the Western Sahara? Think I've answered my own question, and it's no you dont.

They are good filters for road use, they give better air flow, but they are made of cotton and you have to oil them, they simply clog up with dust, you would have to wash it out with petrol each day and re oil it to be effective, once it clogs up, basically you get black smoke all the time which...

Paper filters work better in dust than K&N oiled cotton filters that just collect dust and clog up, Ill bring some spare EP90 just in case eh? LOL

Ill be two days behind you Ken, I'm guessing we will be at the campsite at around 4ish on the Sunday, are you using a paper airfilter now?

LOL, yeah, 2000 Euros is a bargain after looking at your bodywork modifications.

I had a puff of black smoke thing too, when I fitted a new radiator I washed the intercooler out with acitone, no more puff of smoke since

200 tdi was 107 bhp in the Defender and 111 in the Discovery, I don't look at it as a holiday, more of an endurance trial just to see how much dust can be captured in a Defender dashboard and to act as a rolling support vehicle for Ken LOL Power steering systems take a pounding in deep sand...

Some people do find the 1.2 box makes them a little sluggish, but if you can increase the power output, the 1.2 is so much nicer, I have 180-190 hp and 500 Lbs of torque with the 1.4 box the truck ran out of gears too quickly. I've got to change the crank pulley and associated front end engine...

My 1.2 TBox added 10% to my range and it made it nicer to drive at speed. I get 440 miles on a tank now.

Cool stuff

Hmmm, I thought they had 160HP for some reason, OK

I doubt its the remap, a remap in real terms is a couple of lines of corrected code instructing the injectors to deliver fuel a fraction of a second early to create more HP and again once the piston has reached the highest stroke level to deliver a tiny bit of more fuel to create more torque...

Yep, the "home office" is travelling down with me, wants to spend one night in Marrakesh with us and then I'll drop her off at the airport at 8AM on Tuesday 22nd.
