Because he has an N/A in there not a 200tdi so either way he going to have to change the rad, and fit an intercooler! I was more concerned with the fitting on the auto box causing a huge mess inside the cab.

If your taking the frame out, why do you need to remove the rubber to drill the pop rivets? To swap the glass you have to take the frame out anyway, and then take the frame in two - its a pain in the arse to do - just swap the frame, and re-poprivet it back in - mine was swaped in about and hour

Why not just pop rivet ally? Seems like a huge job to do, a 200tdi would be much easier - whynot flog the 300 on ebay and get a decent 200tdi engine that will drop right in? And yes you will need a new radiator and surround, an intercooler, new hozes for the intercooler (about 60 quid of...

Try it in diff lock (or get somebody to have a look under it and see if anything is turning - if a 1/2 shaft/CV has gone then one of the two prop shafts will be turning, and the other will not. if you put it into diff lock then it will move (in 2 wheel drive). If this does not help and it is...

:doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh: Its the roof and widscreen not doors and widscreen - me being dumb! :doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh:

The question is clearly about fitting old style series doors to a 300tdi. First question WTF? Second question - I presume you don't want to change anything else? I think there is some issue with the front of the doors aligning, and this may cause you to have to put a series windscreen in -...

I'd say chop the whole thing off, and get a new xmember with extensions on - it does mean chopping back the main chassis 6 inches or so, but it will make sure the job will last some time. I payed a local landy welder just over £350 for the whole job and parts, including repainting of the cahssis...

Or remove the glow plugs to de-compress the engine - makes it much easier. As above, undoo bleed screw ontop of fuel filter, pump fuel lift pump (handel is on the bottom of it if you have an original pump - some replacment ones have it on the side) , then when fuel comes out the top, open the...

The reason you have a seperate switch is that it is illegal to have over (I think) 220W (i.e. 4x55W) on the fornt on main beam, and you could fail you MOT if you have a huge bank of spots come on when you put the main beam on, and also **** people off if you have them on comming towards them :D...

Whats going on is that the earthing straps are worn out/ been damaged off road. This is causing the electricity to earth through the handbreak cable - depending on if it is on or off alters the amount of contact the cable has with the body, and so alters the resistance. What you need to do...

Also how can they put an advisory on a Land Rover that it is muddy! Is he taking the ****!

Like above - just remove the tow bar - would not go around towing heavy things when (not advised) you refit it As for hand brake - 'a garage' failed mine because there was play in the drive train, which they said was unaceptable, as they had not come accross transmission brakes before -...

I have one you can have if you want it (i'm in London)- cost me £8 mind you and never fitted it after filling up with oneshot - just could not be arsed to do the work to change the seal as it involves breaking the axel joint (which can be a pig to do), when just filling up with oneshot grease...

I got a ifor evans car transporter trailer, put my 14,500W JBL sound system, and my 6,000 ASS sound system on the back, and towed it off into essex, put an generator in the back of the landy, and pluged it all in - could be heard 5 miles away :) Thoses were the days :D

I guess if you ask them to waxoyl it there going to use waxoyl! :) there are a few schools of thought on the best way of protecting from corosion. Waxoly being one of them, and although many consider it not to be the best some do. Mine is painted with smooth hamorite paint and then covered in...

What state is the swivel ball it's self in. Is it pitted/scratched as that can cause oil/grease to bypass it, but does sound strange for such a nee one to have gone. Does the noise occurs when moving or when turning the wheel?

Just wait :D

These things power up when the ignition switch it on - i suspect a wire has come off the back of the switch - do the wipers work? - maybe not?

Mine only have 2 bolts holding them down, but they just carry stuff around

If you like death..................
