VDO or Siemens for the MAF. For the time being unplug it and see if it helps. If it does then thats the issue.

Tend to disagree with it being the SMF having had one in my Daily 110s and D2 ive never noticed any additional vibrations in over 100k of driving in 3 different cars. Non genuine mafs are worthless. Unplug it. Is it more like a kangaroo...

If its as dry as you say you risk friction welding the bearing to the stub. So id get a new one of those as well. If the calipers not been off in a few years get new bolts and some stripped head removers. Irwin make a great set.

Went about fixing that rear wheel bearing. Of course the caliper bolts where rusted away... Open it up to the single nut system... Go to my wheel bearing box, can I find my two nut conversion? Of course not. Of to work where they should be...

Inbetween all that been making snorkels again! 3" top entry and a 3.5" side entry for a Puma - that has been a pig!

As long as they are 8.8 can get them anywhere

M10 i believe. 12mm.short/turbo side and 35 maybe 40mm long side i think. Been a while since i had a stock turbo tho

One of Empires own 90s in the sand. Fair but more power than me, same diffs but no TC and about 1T lighter 🤣

Finally after 5 years Ive managed to take a VNT TD5 around Marquenterre and its nothing short of incredible. Near limitless power and torque on tap when i need it. No huge run ups, no flooring it and snatching 3rd. Just driving up, mostly with...

Why do you say over priced? You aware of material costs, labour these days? Even if made in china. £300 is very reasonable. Id dare you to have them designed and manufactured to same standard first time for less. They are CNCd remember not mass...

Nothing too exciting just did a big service. All oils and filters. Engine oil, black but no bits or discolouration Front diff had a little christmas tree and a bit silvery, too be expected from an ATB after 10k. TX box clean as a whistle...

Avoid terrafirma. They are terrible. Get OME. Need extended brakes lines. Use jubilee clips to hold your springs in. Youll need new front turret rings, 9/10 yours will sheer off.

Youre basically interrupting the fuse. Its basically the same as pulling the fuse out, just instead you have a switch inline. So it just needs a 12v source from anywhere really. Could loop it back down and into the spare fuse holder.

First pic. That one. Normal fuse goes in the top slot i think, run that to the in line fuse, switch, back to live. Nope no relay needed. Had that on my old 110 for years without any issues, and on my D2 for a couple years.

Very easy. Buy a fuse piggy back + an inline fuse. Wire the piggy back into a switch with an inline fuse. Push switch it cuts off power to the fuse and TC/ABS is off. However it will turn off ABS as well so not for road use. Turn it back on...

Could be a hose but seeing as they are allisport i wouldnt suspect them but ill test them anyway. No warranty over 12 months old now Cheers 😁😁

Oh mate , as don’t need that , hopefully it’s just a hose and not the inter cooler again , do u have any warranty left on it plse Doing a fantastic job there and thks as well for those pics , looked a good day out , I always enjoyed the...

So ive got a slight inkling my Darkside intercooler may have split... Bit slow to come onto boost and in low revs/boost is coal rolling levels of smokey 😳 Its over due a service so that wont be helping either, but shouldnt be this bad! Going...

Assume its a TD5, ideally you need to plug into.some diagnostics and see why the TC fault is active. Could be many things

No difference on a 300. It will on a heavily tuned Td5 though

Sadly yes having looked at those pictures the chassis doesn't look good particularly at the rear.

I'm now properly in the market for a TD5 (110 probably, but still have one eye on 90s) after selling my car and meeting Bankz the other week who was unbelievably helpful, gave me a defender crash course (things to look for, quirks, common...

Wrangler. Mates got one and its brilliant. Lockers and ARB disconnects as standard on a switch. Fit 35s from stock Comfy, quiet, even has a 230v inverter built in. But 45k.... Then again how much have I spent on Land Rovers 😂😂

Gywn lewis do new covers. Much higher quality

There is a lock washer. Gwyn Lewis has a fitting guide. Torque to spec, drive for a bit then re torque and hammer the lock washer into place.

Took a break from the usual Billing show this year and went to Hevingham Concours with Empire. Beyond incredible place. Shooting, Spitfires (yes original!), Hypercars, Supercars, JCBs and a hillclimb event! Second fasest diesel up the hill...

The internal bar doesnt really get in the way, if you have standads seats. Its rather annoying with Corbeaus/bucket seats. As for fitting doesnt take much longer to add the internal bar and obviously considerably stronger. Chat to SD if you get...

Could have picked a better day than the hottest day of the year but hey ho 🤣 Replaced the wiper boxes, what a pig of a job! Drivers side was actually fine, passenger side SEIZED SOLID couldnt even move it with some 12" stilsons.. 🫥 Replaced...

Righttt New O ring on the Fourby cam cap + a healthy amount of RTV. Also resealed the alternator oil feed incase it was that. Also found the header tank almost empty 🫥 Need to remember to check that... only downside of a watercooled turbo....
