    Fitting a cat to a series 2a

    I've also used two stroke oil which reduced smoke and reduced engine noise by 2 to 3db ( I measured it) however the eco 200 I showed in my post seems to work better.

    Catalytic converters are for petrol vehicles, it would just clog up with diesel particulates. Diesel particulate filters are fitted to diesels, it cost landrover multi-million pounds to develop one that worked on the last defenders.. Even that would not work fitted to a 2A, as it's just not...

    LT230 gear ratios

    I've found the disco 1.2 box no problem in a standard 200tdi 110. (235/85s) , and it happily trundle along in 4th at 30 and if the engine has warmed up it will trundle in 5th on the flat. I've not had a problem with hills, even when going up to the steeper bits of Yorkshire . You just have to...
