Hi All Did a search but only found info on the defender forum. Has anyone fitted RX8 seats to a series 3. I would have liked some decent series seats but can't seem to find any,I don't realy fancy the vinyl one that are about. So anyone fitted them what are they like? Are they low enough? Can...

Yes all looking good it still has the rear prop off waiting for a uj should be here tomorrow but it goes through the gears fine and moves in 4 wheel drive. It is a bit tight in places but all seems fine, hopefully go for a decent run around later.

Well it all fits and is going back together hopefully back on the road for 1st October

When I he an idle judder it was the torque converter, but you could see on the revs of the engine hunting slightly. Mick

Definatly sound like front diff splines had one go on me awful sound. Not all of them have had the recal to the newer design. Mick

You may find that 1 mm hole turns int something rather bigger when wire brushed they always start looking small Mick

Ha cheers Mr nice

The lt77 will bolt to the 200tdi the series transfer box bolts to the back of the LT77 with the use of the Ashcroft conversion plate. But the gearbox is 4ins longer so the engine has to move 4 inches forward which is a bit tight. Mick

Yes but it's 4ins longer than a series box http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f6/ashcroft-5-speed-conversion-282147.html

What about a lt85 would save the width of a conversion plate! Mick

From the back of that crossmember to the face of the gearbox is approx 25mm. Let us know the verdict would be interested. Mick

Hi murtle Yes the engine is moved forwards 4" I wanted to keep everything looking stock Mick

I am using the series transfer box so the diff lock is the yellow button etc Mick

Right a bit of an update The kit goes together quite well the instructions aren't brilliant but useable. first is setting up the preload, for this the plate is mounted on the on the transfer box and the cross-drilled output gear is fitted. to adjust the preload the bearing out you have just...

I'm sorted now thanks Jason. Mick

You would have to move the front crossmember as well because the bottom pulls would hit it.

My engine is the cologne from a Granada Scorpio 150 hp and hopefully decent fuel consumption well at least 20. I never managed to get much above 12 with any of the rover V8. Don't get me wrong I do like the V8 and have a few but for this project it would be too long. I wanted to keep the series...

When I was looking at different options. I thought of an overdrive prob one of the easiest options the only worry is getting a good one it could be early to spend £500 and end up with a bad or noisey one. Mick

Ha yes each to there own I quite like the rear wheel drive and the red and yellow levers. Mick

iPhone will only let me post one pic at a time
