Well I am actually in dire need of an oil cooler housing for this engine! Would you have such a part Auto? This engine suffered from the usual build-up of crap in the cooler and this one was so bad that the gunk had rotted the housing. I am on the route of fitting an aftermarket oil cooler at...

Here qwe go veviving a six year old thread! But hey it aint too long of a thread and it's right on topic: I have recently bought a 1989 90 that was once a 2.5 TD but had the SD33 (N/A) conversion done to it at some point. It has a short shaft LT77 box. All the electrics are 12V BTW. My current...

Hmm good thinkin! I'll keep that in mind next time I'm in that situation as mine catch at the moment anyway :-)... Fiddle brakes...love the name! The idea reminds me of split brakes found on tractors. Used for skid steering though mostly as apposed to diff meddling :-). How about the...

OK this is what I've been trawling the net for too :-). The idea of welding the diff and having a free running hub sounds good and cheap! But can you get/make a free-running hub for a 10 spline rear axle easily?? :-/ I must pull out one of mine and see what would be involved... Here's a nice...

OK cool well I can give it a try! The rims will probably be dumped otherwise so there isn't anything to lose really:-). When you say -50mm offset which way are you going there? I assume you're going out the way to clear the radius arms better?

Excellent! That's the answer I wanted to hear! B-) I will see what I can do with these wheels then. It looks like I'll have to chop out the centre discs, get new ones laser-cut (easy peasy where I work! ;-))with the right stud pattern and centre bore, then weld them in carefully with continuous...

Hi guys, First off, I'm new to all this messing with tyres, rims etc etc. I'm also rather fresh to offroading in my 110 but have been doing it long enough to get stuck to the axles many times in bogs around the West of Ireland! Basically, I'm looking at fitting something like a set of...
