isnt the 2a box stronger ?, i no the 3 box is all syncro but with the tdi and big tyres i want the strongest box i can get using the series 4 wheel drive dave

thanx for that, any idea what year or series my box is, i,m going to put a 200tdi in it with coil sprung defender axles and rather large rubber(its a pick up and im putting a harvey frost crane on the back, going for the hot wheels look) so i,m hoping its a s11a, i no, long shot but we have to...

Stripping my 109 for its transformation today and noticed an oblong brass like plate screwed onto the bellhousing, it about 3x2 with FRC2000Rstamped into it, then underneath that B20273. My friends dad has a s11 lightweight with a similar plate on his box. They are a bit crude and home made but...

:)Well i like it, building a 109 coiler, just for a giggle, started out as a drunken idea at peterbourgh lro show and sort of mushroomed from there. Doing things a bit different to you tho, using the 109 chassis and welding on the the bits i need, good on you, Dave

Thats just the look i,m after, not to botherd about the crane working, just there for looks.Looking forward to taking it lanning, a friend has an orange 101 and it,s a splendid sight, think a 109 recovery will just as interesting, the coil,s will make it that bit more capable on and off road :)...

like that but the proper one has 2 hooks on it, guess i,ll have to keep looking , thanx Dave

Well thats a start :):)

Hi, ive just bought a 109 pick up, i,ll upsett a few people here but i,m going to put it on coil springs for a giggle, 200tdi and a harvey frost in the back. I bought a crane today but it isnt complete, the cable is missing,not a problem, but the bit on the end where the cable goe,s and the...

well i changed the oil from 10/40 semi synthetic to 15/40 mineral and everything seems ok, do now notice a bit of blue smoke when starting on a morning and the odd puff now and then but i can handle that cheers dave:)

Hi, i have a 1972 s3 swb landy, after playing the arse end seems to sit down, i thought it was the bushes in the shackles siezing so i replaced them with polybushes, ok for about 3 day,s, went playing again and arse on the floor again. I can get some good rear springs of a s3 lightweight...

Thought about that but worried about just moving the weakest link further up the chain, has anyone ever damaged there steering components on a series ? Thanx for the reply, cheers Dave

Well to be honest i wasnt sure what to use, i used to work in a car parts shop, so i get a good price on all my parts so i thought semi synth would be better. I have a early mx5 and used a fully synth in that but didnt like the way the oil pressure dropped when it was warm, i asked the valvoline...

Thanx for that, i,ll check the pressure at work in the morning and probably change the switch as a matter of course, i,ll let you no what i find tommorro cheers dave

Hi, ive got a s3 with a 200 di(no turbo) fitted, ive had no bother with it, the performance is ok and it starts on the button. Today i had to do a bit of road burning to pick up a friends brocken disco, when we got back i parked up and was mucking around in the cab with the engine ticking over...

Hi, been thinking about steering guards this week, anyone got any thought,s on them. I havnt seen many series landy,s with them on and what i did see i thought looked a bit pants but our greenlanning is getting more and more "challenging" and i dont fancy ****ing my steering arms. cheers Dave

Just buy some new mate, cheaper than new bearings !:)

I no :D

get rid of the egr for a start

Ok, how sirus, you got one going spare mate ? :p Cheers Dave

Been watching it, if i cant get one we,ll make something ,more worried about the seat belt issue, dont want to just coble a mounting, rather have a purpose made one if poss cheers Dave
