I didn't know that. I've got 99% of a set for my 101. Just missing one wheel stud and spacers for it. Apparantly the standard 101 wheels will clear the calipers with a narrow spacer. Has anybody tried a set of Disco 1 steel wheels? If they clear the calipers they'd be cheap. Same pcd as Series.

Can you argue the v8 is environmental better? As the 2.2 is so hideously uneconomical. No, i don't think you can. The 2.2 will be cleaner and conforming to more modern specs than the old V8, and if you think the 2.2 is 'hideously uneconomical' how would you describe the V8????????????

Simple, they don't tell anybody! You often see a Series vehicle with it's original reg number yet the body is sat on a modified Range Rover chassis using coil spring axles, Rangie engine and box. Not only should it lose it's classic tax status it should probably be on a Q plate. The annoying...

Yes there are some purists who complian if you've changed a rivet. Personally i wouldn't worry too much if it has a non LR engine fitted IF, the conversion works well. I'm currently going through this dilemma myself. What to do with my 101? Keep the original V8 or replace it with something...

If you google "salisbury diff casing spreader" and look at the pictures in the results, there are several home made spreaders you could copy if you are practical minded.

A small (2 berth?) caravan cover?

How much do you want to pay for a disc set up? I believe the Zeus set is all bolt on. https://www.zeus.uk.com/product-category/land-rover/braking/

Have you had a look at how that fuel system works in a Daihatsu?

Over here(Blighty) we have tarmac, and with bargrips + tarmac + rain i find my buttocks are often so clenched they cramp! I think they get their name from doing everything on road bar grip!

Oh? Looks like a Mondeo in drag to me 😁

As Wolf Pack suggested, if Merlin has nothing the only other place to check with is RLC. https://www.rlcarchive.org/VehicleSrch2?fbclid=IwAR2gtKZX4NhxzI0_0qIB2W9wx_Mu0x7iHUi24FzXrGQiJq-l6qJlY8vBnL0 I only got a couple of dates for places my 101 had been to in addition to what Merlin had on it...

Nice, i nearly bought one of those, but ive only ever owned one Jag, a 1966 S-Type 3.8 but i think i'd prefer my Disco 1 ES with everything on it to your X-Type. It's the most comfortable long distance car i've ever driven. Plus you could go mad off road in it and i spent an hour opening up...

Farm implement????????? You do know there is such a thing as TOO MUCH comfort! ;)

No acolol involved. Just having a shufty online when i should have been going to bed. The alarm went off at ten to four this morning, a bit earlier than normal to give me some potential 'break down' time as i was taking the 101 into work today. Last time(first) it broke down four times on the...

Fools... You should walk away from those petty pretend 4x4 things and look at a Series or Defender. At least the bits that rust are made out of thicker material. :cool: Or if you want some comfort, go for a Discovery. The Disco 1s are all mostly rot free... They only rot on their inner and...

Go to the bay and type in the size and drive of impact socket you want then choose how much you want to spend...

I bought a 3/8 Snap On ratchet for a fiver from a carboot sale. After using it discovered there was a tooth or two missing so i enquired about the so called lifetime warranty and would it be valid for a carboot buy with my cousin who is a mechanic. He said to drop it in and he'd speak to his...

I suppose you could get the curve back if you used a clamp at the top of the uprights to maintain tension and hammer the other face from the back with a dolly with it resting on a sandbag or something similar. I wouldn't use your thigh. Don't laugh, i saw my mate at work doing that with a piece...

Search online for 'land rover military bumperettes' images. Lots of pictures This link shows a natural curve to the outside edge. I would have thought as long as the angles of the uprights(as shown in your pics) are the same and the mating faces where you bolt them to the chassis are flat they...
