Wow!!!!! You've changed your standard response, you must be getting that bored!!

Checked the swivel preload (again) and filled both front hubs up with nice new grease. Changed the a frame balljoint (what a **** of a job), tightened the rear right wheel bearing, replaced the UJs on the rear prop, tried to see why my rear diff...

better off getting a later TDV8 L322 that will cruise at 80mph at 1100rpm, rather than trying to needlessly modify an utterly wánked out 22yr old L322.

Haw!

Well the other panels are all fine so I think it is just the bonnet. It does look nice though (overall).

Stop procrastinating & put yer money where your mouth is. Buy a set of diffs & chuck them in, you can have the last laugh if it works or will you do a John Darwin disappearing act. 🤣 🤣

Oh I thought I was the only 1 ignoring it

No. Ignore it with the rest of us.

Had the head skimmed previously by too much & the valves have hit all pistons. ??

In your OP you say it’s to have a lower RPM when driving at highway speeds. Is this the sole reason then? Would dropping down to say, 56mph not be a better option for you? It would be unlikely to add any considerable time to your journey -...

The valves would bend on impact so would not cause damage. Normally if a belt/chain goes it would mark a few pistons not all of them Have you had any head problems?

You're too late! I've done a deal myself for £7,350. And a big thanks to the guys who suggested it would polish up with some T-Cut because it does! The previous owner never, ever washed it so it got badly oxidized, but it scrubs-up nicely with...

I have answered this about 100 times now. Ok not 100 times but it feels like that. Go back to my original question and you'll see that I have no interest in fuel saving. I very clearly explained my reasons in my initial question and multiple...

I thought you would have upgraded the glass fuses. ( I do have the glass fuses and they can be finicky but are easily sorted)

Dunno, nobody responded with their thoughts. There are a few ways the IRD can be damaged - eg the RH drive shaft taking out its support bearing causing the diff to jam. However, I'm confident most instances of IRD damage are due to wear in the...

HI All, Can anyone shed some light on the following problem. FL2 fuel filter changed recommended every 12 months filter was primed but may not enough. Filter and lines have been bleed using hand pump. injectors hoses have been bleed also...

So 26 pages so far. This has probably already been answered, but.. Why? I’m genuinely curious now. The time, effort and cost to purely save a few £££ and run your car at 1100rpm vs 1300rpm barely seems worth it. If this is purely a cost saving...

Most cars run the speedo off the gearbox so that is why I assumed that with the L322. In that case changing the differential ratio does affect the speedo. Maybe you didn't know that, but you can look at the attached image for that fact. But...

And I think I said a different mile per hour. I hadn't done the exact calculation and I was only estimating, giving you an example. It doesn't matter if I was giving an estimate, or if I had made an exact calculation, because it doesn't change...

Confirmation of my above post, symptomatic of members' lightweight sense of responsibility toward this thread.

Got them from LRParts as it seemed the easiest option as no way of reprogramming the GM box to do command shift

I wish I had 4 gallon left after doing 300 miles, 300 miles is about average on my TD5, to the point of low fuel light coming on.

Did it on my TD 6, swopped them on to l322 TD v8 I have now. Where did you get them from out of interest?

Front one's are bonded to the bar need to be cut off then enery the bar after to get all the bits off.

Yes! Exactly! I saw your earlier posts, and have book marked them. If I don't get the dimension, I'll make it up, must be nearly in line with the gutter. Incidentally, the aluminium bars that are inserted into the hood, how do they attach to...

You keep making comments about problems that I would have, that would only exist if I was driving along at about 500 RPM. Therefore while you have not specifically said a particular RPM that I would be driving at, you have continued to imply in...

Grumpygel, sorry to bring up this old thread, but do you now have an answer to your question? I found traces of metal in my ird oil and i'm worried.

This afternoon’s fetteling saw the re trimmed dash back in, looks good with the sprayed green vent cover 👌

Exactly, but I don't need to do it, it was just an idea that I had. I decided to get some input from the Range Rover people on a Range Rover forum, in case there was an idea I missed. The torque converter not locking up was one thing that I...
