    the fuel diaphram

    that nut just holds the rubber diaphram onto the pin,after you've scribed a marker point gently lift the edge of the diaphram and pull it out (you may have to wiggle it a bit)now rotate the required deg put it back in,put the cover back on and job done. sometimes they do rotate with out lifting...

    the fuel diaphram

    45-90 degree is the norm

    the fuel diaphram

    it does make a big difference,try starting with about 45 degree clockwise first and see how it feels,dont forget to scribe a start point so you know where the factory setting is,as i said it will smoke a bit more on full throttle but it shouldnt be to bad at 45 and will give you noticably more power

    the fuel diaphram

    120 degree clockwise is maximum but will smoke like hell

    Frozen door handles any tips

    its not just land/range rover,all cars suffer from this,i took the door cards of my defender and sprayed all the mechanism with wd40,so far i havent suffered with frozen door locks for while now

    Would you swap traction control for low range?

    it was proved that he had bogded the modifications,it was badly maintained and he was driving to fast.so it was the prick himself that was responsible not the vehical but the blame game doesnt bring the kids back does it

    help needed please :-(

    i had the exact same problem on a previous landy with the yellow britpart springs and pro comp shocks,i was told the yellow springs only give you about 1 1/2" lift and the qt arms are to correct a 2-3" lift,after a very short time the bottom pin of the front shocks had bent,i now use the blue...

    Freelander wont start

    you havent got enough fuel with half a tank,about another 5 gallon in through the window,throw in a match and that should get it started fine:D

    td5 axles

    that sounds about right,really confuses the hell out of you when buying spares,when i first bought this defender i was convinced that someone had rebuilt it untill i looked into it further:doh:

    td5 axles

    yeh i know what you mean,i was told (not sure if its right) that from late 93k they started useing 300tdi running gear,thats why they changed to 24 spline,they started useing the 45mm radias arms to(which caught me out when i bought my poly bush kit)theres quite a few little differences between...

    td5 axles

    mines late 93k,theres a few things that have caught me out when buying spares,i just know about the casings and diffs as few of my mates use them for offroading,i think some of the 110 rear axles have the same diff as the p38's,but the fronts are the usual 2 pin open diffs as are the majority of...

    td5 axles

    it was late 93k when they changed to 24 spline i think

    td5 axles

    i may be wrong there then its probably 200tdi onwards that had discs,i know pre 200tdi were definatly drums
  19. 19MART82

    td5 axles

    Discs were fitted from late 93k onwards,the td5 axle casings are stronger,and the diffs are slightly stronger,(the pin in the middle of the sun gears is slightly thicker and the sun gears themselfs are beefier)
