I used a length of galvanized side purlin off the pig shed :D Nice and strong and won't rot again :)

From my experience of wvo, wmo the injector tips get a build up of carbon on them, this makes the engine smokey and sound and run lumpy. This has happened to a whole host of different types of diesel engines I've used. I remove the injectors and use a wire bush to clean the tips up to a clean...

That's right it was an early RR with a long gear stick I sold to the disco man. The box I have in the scrap RR is the later short stick. Input shafts can be changed over. All good fun :D

I'am not sure , I did sell another LT77 from a RR to a bloke with a disco and he had to change over the rear section before the gear stick would fit. I have taken the gears out of a LDV van box before and fitted them in a RR gearbox, so most parts fit or can be made to.

Eday check before you buy LT77 is an old type box and people want R380 boxes so lots of cheap LT77 boxes knocking about. I've got a really good one in a old scrap RR which is no good for me as I use a R380. It's in Cambridge if your interested ?

Reduce the amount of svo and add diesel. You will need a two tank system for high svo amounts. If I was you I would remove the injectors and clean the carbon that's built up on the injector tips from start from cold on svo. Two tank system or less veg oil that's it in a nut shell.

Warrior for peeps who like shopping :doh: Jap 4x4 pick ups, great ,just don't park on the grass :D Please you can't be serious

Anal old lady :p:p

Time to fit a mazda 3.5 slt :) Loads of low down torque , pulls like a train :D

No point in going on about what might happen, which is not going to happen, you don't won't to sound like an old woman :blabla::blabla: Most old Land Rovers are kit cars :D Springs it is then :D

It will not happen as that is just an EU idea which will have to be so heavily changed meaning it's not practical to implement. If you really think they are going to enforce that rule you better have a look at all your vehicles and start crying. Maybe it's time to buy a Nissan micra. :doh:

What sort of Land rovers do you have that need working on all the time ?:eek: That sounds like aload of stereotypical bull**** :doh: You mention bodging, that's where your problems are, fix them properly and they wont keep letting you down!

If it's a big end bearing then the crank and rod will be knackered. Also the bits will be in the crank oil ways,so it's going to be a write off.:(

Pajeros for peeps who like shopping and plastic body bull**** extensions :D Don't forget blown head gaskets and crack heads and rotten rear chassis and **** suspension.:)

Jap 4x4 are for people who don't under stand mechanical things and need some thing boring to go shopping in, a vehicle a bit like a domestic appliances for plug and go users. Land rover can be money pits if you pay other people to do every thing and you don't have any mechanical skills or under...

Suzuki jimmy :D

Are you a rich man? no your driver a old land rover :D Buy s/h and fit it your self and then you could take the family abroad on a holiday with the money you saved. :)

The mot changes will never happen in the case of suspension or engine or brakes or exhaust, I don't think I need to keep going :D as there will be a massive scrap heap of cars that won't pass the mot :doh: I hope you have not fitted spot lamps air horns different bumpers or wheels or even tyres :D

Old range rovers can be costly to repair and air suspension can be very troublesome. Fit springs and that will be the end of your suspension problems Very easy ,cheap and range rovers used springs before air suspension came along and you dont here people complaining about the ride or that the...

Probably for the same reasons lots of other people have done the same :)
