Ive lost my Disco to the other half....She didnt even want a landy but i forced the subject and now im back in my series 1 with no door tops getting cold and wet..... Its nice to see the drive with the green oval well represented. Lee

The turbo makes a lot of difference when towing (100bhp). I need to fit rangy diffs to make a difference when normal motoring, I max out on the govenor at about 85mph. Shocks a few car drivers when driven hard, Im not frightened to challenge people from the lights. Turbo exit is right above the...

Buy the Diso, you know it makes sense. AVOID the Vauxhall at all costs, father had major dramas with 2 of his...Engines are poor. Lee

What is its military number? Should be on the chassis plate. Squaddies will notice their old rover straight away... Still looking for my first to appear out here in civy land, 12gx12 lwb ffr. Lee

Adapter plate can be hard to find 2nd hand. I sit at 75 to 80 ish doing the weekend run to Brum, turns a few heads when you give it a lot of right foot. Really need rangy diffs if you fit it. I tow a 2 tonne car trailer and can sit at 60 all day long. Only prob is the exhaust doWn pipe is...

Is it turbo, does it come with a mounting kit, if you dont want it i may know of a 90 that could do with it??? Damn good engines, bit lacking without turbo. Parts can be expensive. Got to be better than a perky. Lee

Bristol office would only change mine once it was mot'd and insured.... Lee

Not sure what the paint was called, just asked one of the so called specialists for primer, for aluminium.? Lee

1. yes, ebay a good source of bits. 2. yes, i got mine from B&Q Lee

If your a bit posh you could get an infa red thermal thingy which you point the red dot at and it reads the temp? to modern for my series 1. Lee

I had a similar prob with an old perkins engine, i chased an over heating problem for days, eventually got the hump with it and left it ticking over with the rad cap off and a thermometer stuck in the rad. Turned out the temp sender wasnt compatible with my landy.. Just ignored it from then on...

Sounds like a good cheap motor, wish mine was that cheap but the other half wanted, THAT ONE!!!!! Lee

Vehicle type, year, engine? Some landies suffer fuel drain back that shows with difficult starting. Cranking the engine for ages with the pedal fully down to get the sodding thing started. Lee

are you on about the hole below the front crankshaft pulley? if so i believe its a breather/tell tail hole that is threaded to allow a plug to be fitted for deep water wading. lee

I carry my 3 kids with me in my series 1 alot of the time. A local coppers view is landrover didnt fit belts so the kids can ride along without wearing one. I have fitted basic lap belts for my own piece of mind but are on quick release so if an adult decides to not wear one they can be...

Why is it when some car drivers see you in a 50 year old landy, decide they must get past you at all costs...I have been cut up by loads of drivers finding that I can motor on a bit faster than they estimated. So far I have had two rear bumpers off their cars, where there wasnt the space for...

Had to drive her-in-door's 300 TDI (1995) and it appears to have a stutter/flat spot at 3000rpm. In first and second you can drive thru it but any gear above this it runs out of power, change up and it pulls well again until it reaches 3000rpm. Its not a huge drama as you can still cruise...

My series 1 is suffering the same prob on the front left. Have given the wheels a good rocking and the bearings are as slack as... Will dig out the hub spanner and give both fronts a damn good tweaking. I hope this resolves the prob but the wear pattern makes it look like something is...

Not meaning to be rude, apologies if needed. I cant spell to well myself! If the last option doesnt work then a curtisy call in at the dealer that sold you the motor could be in order.. Lee

petejcz... punctuation please, im getting confused. i think i understand the foot thing after reading it 10 times?? Lee
