    Series 3 Electronic Ignition 123- vs- Britpart

    I've spent ages sorting out the curves for NG, this for a daily. Don't run petrol too often, thus I've never really bothered to do the R&D on my petrol curve., I've been able to wring the very last bit of oomph and economy out of gas. Sorry, use petrol as a 'get-me-home' fuel only. In petrol...

    Series 3 Electronic Ignition 123- vs- Britpart

    The later variants can be run via your phone. This seems like a good idea, only in the process 123ignition for whatever reason dropped the two-curve trigger function. Unless you're able to flit from one curve to the other in a split, I'm not sure this is a gain. Curve-to-curve is a very useful...

    Series 3 Electronic Ignition 123- vs- Britpart

    Er no... the moral is understand what you are buying? If you're not able to grasp curves, and vacuum advance, and can't be bothered to learn "Some times(sic)" the mindless solutions will be best". I run a 123 with a 17H in my Series. Short of a Megajolt, it's the best ignition solution for the...

    Series 2 Zeus front disc brake conversion

    And that would be correct, unless more modern, your motorcycle whilst twin circuit, those circuits were timed by you the rider, it's highly doubtful most of us would have consistent control over bias and timing to the levels seen in a fairly standard LR MC. Modern m/cs do however. In an LR, we...

    Series 2 Zeus front disc brake conversion

    I wrote: Reading many brake threads, including this one, it's clear the bulk don't understand them, which is worrying. And that's it right there^^^. With words not written or implied. TR, went off on a tangent,. Better he understands my EXACT words, and reads those again. Correctly set-up, the...

    Series 2 Zeus front disc brake conversion

    Both, you'll not see bias correct without. Bias is as important as force increase, there is little point putting more force where it can't be used, not only does this rob somewhere else, it mis-directs what you do have. This will likely create a 'squirrelly' mess on the first wet road. Maximum...

    Series 3 Exhaust system improvements

    You've the same issue. Sounds like you're very aware of this, to be done right, unless you can find 4-5 others wanting the same thing, that comes very pricey. Which is why it was bodged in the past. That's always the issue with engine-swaps, "It'll just drop in mate!" It's the one-off add-ons...

    Series 2 Zeus front disc brake conversion

    If you're unhappy with the doubtful rim choices, Zeus push on you, you're not alone. There's Heystee kits, these kits will take stock rims or even FC/One ton 569204/ 569203 if you've got those. I'm fitted discs to mine, front and rear. On a 109 I used a Defender pedal-box/Servo with a...

    Series 3 Exhaust system improvements

    Yes, my ACR item fouled there too, and on the gearbox mount. It's a difficult item to make, yours will require a different fit to mine etc etc.. I can't knock ACR minded to the issues. You can see why there's not much choice in off-the-shelf. There's no money in it, how many would anyone be...

    Series 3 Exhaust system improvements

    I've had several goes at this, I started with an ACR manifold, but the fit was very poor. Not any more I'm afraid but back then I had more money than time, thus I paid others to fit. By the time I'd worked out what was going on, under stress, the ACR system was ruined. I then spent much the same...

    Series 2 Roamerdrive don't know - Transfer Box Drain Plug Thread Size (Imperial)

    Well, and without prompting Roamerdrive came back and gave me this. Thread is 1-1/8" x 16 Parallel . Good for them. With another half hour of digging, this is a recognised, but non-standard pitch. Full described as 1-1/8" x 16UN Parallel Major Diam 1-1/8" Major Diam 1.1250 inch Major Diam...

    Series 2 Roamerdrive don't know - Transfer Box Drain Plug Thread Size (Imperial)

    I'm making hard work of this. I have googled. Nothing aligns to 16 guage and this diam. Yet, it's as LR wanted - stock LR drain plug fits Roamerdrive part as indeed RD intend. So hte Roamerdrive element to this is irrelevant. RD thread is as the stock plate. The question remains, what thread...

    Series 2 Roamerdrive don't know - Transfer Box Drain Plug Thread Size (Imperial)

    I'm determined to crack this, but not having much luck. Actual LR Drain plug Thread is gauging-up as 16, but I've so little thread I can't be sure if it's 55 or 60. My money is on 55 degs. LR Drain plug Male thread major diam is 28.5mm. I'm starting to htink this is some proprietry 'weird and...

    Series 2 Roamerdrive don't know - Transfer Box Drain Plug Thread Size (Imperial)

    I am starting to think it's NPT. Only because the unthreaded section of the hole is 27mm. But NPT on a Landover? Can't see it? It's not BSP. I will borrow a thread gauge

    Series 2 Roamerdrive don't know - Transfer Box Drain Plug Thread Size (Imperial)

    Yes I do. I get the internal diam as 26.6mm to 26.7mm dependent on which way I go at it. Also -removing the olive - I can nearly force a male 22mm plumbing compression fitting male thread into it, and that has a external diam of 28.6mm. It'll go 1.5 turns, And one more... the thread in the...

    Series 2 Roamerdrive don't know - Transfer Box Drain Plug Thread Size (Imperial)

    I'm in the process of fitting a Roamer Finned Transfer case sump cover. (Britpart DA9016) I have a Roverdrive so it's a useful upgrade. Anyone know the S2 Imperial thread size for the sump plug? The S3 has a Metric thread, but the RD plate comes fitted the earlier S2 thread. If I'm forced into...

    So why does the engine-swap myth persist?

    Unless you've messed it up, and on the proviso you're at the lower reaches of 5 figures, I don't think what you've done is all that unwise. You won't be in profit, but you'll not look too silly either. Could it be sold here?: https://www.landrovercentre.com/ If so, and it's not covered in...

    So why does the engine-swap myth persist?

    And whichever way we wriggle, the same outcome. I feel like you've come full-circle, correcting me by paraphrasing my own facts. Thank you. I agree.

    Tuning 2.5 petrol with Automotive Carb/cam

    Gary217. ACR Powerplus, ah.. the carb and manifold is next bottle-neck. Before I went the full hog, at one point I lacked what you have - the head. Only had the carb & 'zhorst, yet it gave a very useful bump. It came into its own when you give it the lot. Cam, head, carbs & pipework.
