See that's the kind of good info i needed. As for lightweights not being uncommon, well i think you might need to re-calibrate your common meter :P Obviously these things are regional but i have never seen another series LR on the road here in Central VA. I met one guy at a lowes who said he had...

Thanks for the link and information. If anyone has any more info/experience on shipping Land Rovers over to the U.S. Please chime in.

Sweet i just need to sell mine and find someone to buy me a lightweight from Holland and ship it to me. should be easy lol

I really love the look of the lightweight, but there are, as near as i can tell, NONE in the U.S. Does anyone know a specific reason they cannot be shipped over here? We have all the series' with steering on either side. I have a Santana 109 ex-mil. Thanks for any info if any of you have any on...

i can't easily find just the o-ring you are looking for but here are part numbers for seal kits that include that ring. DGK-126 or DGK-121. The 126 seems common and easy to get and pretty inexpensive.

Changed the Transmission fluid, topped off the transfer case, added fluiding to the front diff and both swivels, re-sealed the windshield.

Added front seat belts, and replaced the drivers side lock/handle/latch.

I put a bice black bedliner inthe cab. looks snazzy if i do say so.

well, the bright side, it isn't a particularly hard engine to do the head gasket job on.

I think i can go tubeless on my rims, but no point in doing that while the tyres are in good nick.

wow your pretty much an ass. Sorry i asked a question about something i was uncertain about based on lack of experience.

searched ebay only found them for tractors so wasn't sure that would work. Tried my local NAPA and the specifically said they could not get them. Some of the issue is not knowing the actual product ID. I didn't want to guess on something that owuld fit a tyre not sold in the U.S.

Well John Craddock got back to me, but better yet a place in the U.S. called Rovahfarm has them in stock. So i get to hang on top my tubed tyres for a bit longer.

The only thing that uses tubes over here is tractors and atv's and those tubes are not for use with radial tyres.

Does anyone have a good supplier willing to ship inner tubes to the U.S.? My Security 7.5x16 tyres are in good shape seemingly but i have one that's gone flat and needs a new inner tube. They are the devil to find in the U.S.

pm'ed you Barbados.

I use Rotella T6 which is a Fully Synth 5w-40 Designed for turbo diesels. I actually use the same thing in my E36 M3. Though i will not get in an oil debate with anyone :P It drips, but not in a way i feel is abnormal for a diesel. There are lots of things we could do for performance from...

Just the tuning mentioned in the OP, slightly better exhaust routing, and a very large intercooler. Well, and putting the whole thing in a '78 109. Intercooler is ~22" x 12" x 3" edit: also deleted the viscous fan for a electric spall fan.

If it is happening at low rpms you might be able to see the steam pulse if it is a head leak on one cylinder. Just soemthing to look for
