    300tdi 90 exhaust layout is doing my fruit!!

    Hey everyone, right this is a strange one I know, but has anyone got pictures of the underside of their 200 or 300 90? I've recently bought what started life as a 2.5td, which has had a 300 disco engine fitted to the original LT77 box, but hasn't had the exhaust changed to suit. So... I'm in the...

    britax amber beacons

    has anyone got the twin britax amber beacons on their defenders? i need to fit a set to mine, and their mounting stud is bang in the middle of the lamp unit, meaning its going to foul the roof rib inside. Just wondered if and how anyone else has got round this issue neatly retaining the lamps...

    advise please, heavy duty or not??

    well no i havent, because im asking how much stiffer they are to normal ones? is a winch going to make that much of a difference to spring ratings etc? is a normal 90 with a few tools in the back, a few spot lamps and a winch going to be too stiff on H/D's or too spongy on normals? like i said...

    thanks for the reply, thinking maybe a disco 300 airbox and 200 snorkel up nearside might work?

    the pipe with a 12mm banjo on the side of the pump? yep its clear and diaphram moves fine. the pop mark onthe diaphram plate is now set at sort of 10 o'clock and its much better, but still tops out at 60mph, which is bang on 3k. still feels like its revvin to much. the other 2 300's are more...

    anyone wanna drive my truck?

    had them all off yesterday, they are soft as sh1t but they're all in one piece, and if squashing them and revving it, i can feel it blowing, but im not sure if its boosting enough and also at the right time. would the hoses stil look ok inside and out, even if they are fooked?
