TD5 90 with Overdrive runs at circa 95 :D

Griff, So if I place a straight edge along the bottom of the tank then measure up to the floorpan somewhere in front of the tank. Is that what you want? I was looking at the tank mounting Saturday and it seems to be around a 2mm plate steel bracket essentialy enclosing a plastic tank. Is...

Is it all standard equipment, transmission wheels & tyres?

Hi Shifty, There's nothing in the Rave on this one, guess you'll have to drill out all them rivets. Have you got some corrosion or do you want to fit a glass bottom for when your wading...

Looking sweet. You might try a NoiseKiller kit to help with the tyre noise as otherwise you'll end up with hearing aids trying to blast out the tyres with the stereo.

The TerraFirma springs and shocks are on and it's great. Pictures and explanation will be posted during the week. I had std LR Heavy Duty springs on before and the ride was harsh, plus the rear springs had compressed about an inch. Now it's about 1.5" up on std and the ride is much better and...

Wany, Firstly :welcome2: If you use a more modern engine with Electronic injection control it will require an ECU (Engine Control Unit) and all of its associated wiring, this may be very complicated to design and implement as you are likely to only have partial documentation to work with...

No worries :)

I just went in to frogs Island today to seek some advice about fixing my knacked HD rear springs (TD5 90 CSW). They recommended the 2" lift springs but medium rated so I can handle the winch weight on the front and occasional towing / heavy load without making the ride too harsh like it is...

Tell 'em what?.... I know nothing. Just make sure the 9mm holes in the Landy don't show, so buy grommets. :D

I could see there being a lot of strain on the A-Frame ball joint with the side forces when cornering as the trailer will always try and go straight. These forces would be amplified if the tow hitch is low. Just a thought.

Hi Jetlad, The overdrive units are expensive but increase the flexibilty of the gearbox, particuarly for towing and reducing fuel consumption. The GKN Overdrive unit comes with a control unit that prevents it working below 30mph and in 1st and 2nd. Therefore you get to split the ratios...

Hi Hog88, :welcome2: Is this job turning into a bit of a pig... :D Seriously, is this the wrap around nudge bar you mean? I dont think there is mutch substantial to connect the nudge to on the sides of the wings, if so I suspect there was an extra bracket made up that went from the...

Hi Spud, That's not bad for the money, expect some of the extras such as dislocation cones, braided hoses which could all be added later would round it off nicely. :-) Cheers,

The key here surely isn't the 65Nm, which is just to settle the bearings and take any excess grease and slack out, but the 4Nm for the final setting, as previously stated a "just right" amount of pre-load. i.e. not mutch! Maybe your heat in the hubs came through from the brakes, just a thought.

:D I love this place

£20 for 5l of the the good stuff at Halfrauds, that's still £60 :eek: Bloody £80 to fix a themostat, unbelievable! Winge mutter moan...

Definitely in.

When I've sorted mi springs & tyres I'm definitely up for S*L*U*T*S run :-) Otherwise it's going to feel like a work day draging me out of the mud all day...

Where was this taken Ratty, looks like Scotland with them houses? I'm fitting the Muff come winter time, when organising to switch out my Thermostat last week I discovered the TD5's got 13 Litres of coolant running round it. No wonder it takes a fortnight to warm up. LR want £7 per litre of...
