My new radio came with a harness to connect to the industry standard (ISO i think) loom. It fitted straight in. You may have to work out which is constant live for "keep memory alive" and which is switched for main power. This may be on a bullet style connector to simply plug in the correct way...

Got my 16" rims *5 for £100 on ebay which I thought was cheap. Genuine LR alloys with a few scuffs (not bothered as a few rocks soon put some more scuffs on anyway) Tyres fairly worn but again not bothered as was putting different size on anyway. Lucky as well - have upgraded brakes (53 plate)...

Just another thought - I have lifted it by 40mm lift kit lately - could drive shaft angle into rear diff cause more resistance?

Just repeated the test with weights on a 1.2m bar. Results from September are With 9.3Kg took 12.3 seconds and 5.5Kg took 31 seconds. Results now are With 9.3kg took 18 seconds and 5.5kg took 53 seconds. I have tested it in between but only bothered torque test. It feels a bit stiffer so I...

Alternator ?? - what's the battery voltage engine off and engine running?

To get this thread back on track here are some pictures of the 40mm lift with 225/75 16. Clearance is tight (steering arm rests on opening with car on jack, spring cups I cannot squeeze my finger through). Camber was out when I did it by quite a bit (mid December). I think it's settle a bit. I...

Looking under my bonnet yesterday and I noticed that a feed from the vacuum pump goes to the front of the ribbed cylinder (I assume a buffer chamber) Then a pipe goes out the back of the chamber and across the back of the engine and feeds down to the turbo vane control solenoid. Therefore they...

Well got 6 litres of magnatec left and only about 2k since last change but you`ve convinced me to change it anyway. Any particular brand - I`ll be going fully synthetic anyway.

You've got me thinking here - I'm on 10W40 and BMW cyclone mod. But sometime after I did it (early August) she started using oil at the rate of about 1/2 litre every 300 miles. I can't remember exactly when the oil burning increased but sometime after that. Done 106k miles so thought 10W40...

Interesting read - mine leaks when cold and after searching on this forum it's a common fault for o rings in pump to do this. I found a link to some great pics from a thread on here http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/td4-injector-pump-leak-96434.html link on third page to one of the forums members...

Just fitted 40 mm lift kit and the steering arms do just rest on the bottom of the hole when it's lifted on it's jack. Combined with 225 75 16 I've measured 10 inch clearance to the lower middle part of the rear cross brace (lowest point). Diff just sits half inch higher I think that's enough on...

Here's a picture. - ringed with red. Not sure why it would fix it - have you blocked off the pipe going to vacuum supply?

Why does the pipe coming off the T-piece go over the top of the injectors? I don't have any vacuum running past the diesel return pipes. It's like they have used a t-piece to extend the pipe to go somewhere different or via a different route. Where does the other end go?

Thank you for the comments. Looking good DD, that's how a landrover should look:)

Thank you Diesel Do for your helpful guide to the lift. I chickened out in the end and got my mechanic to help me (well do it for me while I watched with a knackered back) glad aswell as some bolts were seized and I would not have got them. I'll put some pics on in a bit as I think it looks a...

I'm not selling yet - but in the future I may. But when I look at what I've done to the old girl I am now thinking to myself, what am I going to do when I want to sell her. Just lifted it by 40mm and putting bigger tyres on. Also synergy 2 and EGR bypass etc. Future I may put straight though...

Dodgy Earth somewhere ??

Hmmm it's an bit ugly. Good price though. I've seen one before that's better looking but it's £550 plus vat, to import as well with language and import worries. Roca Silva - Tomas de aire, snorkel 4x4, concepts cars When you guys get the mantec fitted can we have some pics. I'll be very...

Might be interested. I need to look realistically if the old girls worth all the work or get a disco. Few things to fix. I had water coming over onto bonnet this weekend and if I'm fixing her up I would be looking at a snorkel. What do they look like - I like subtle, not chav. Couldn't live with...

From memory isn't the motor supply going through a double pole double throw relay - which switches polarity to the motor. - see attached diagram. Could be simple connection to motor wrong way round on R205. Or R205 to central control unit?. What did you have in bits when you replaced the parts...
