300bhp/ton's latest activity

Yes they are different, but intake design still matters and will still make a similar difference. Again there is loads and loads of info and vids out there proving this if you want to go and look. :) I'll try and dig one out later.

I would question this statement. In some parts of the world it is common to see tow balls like this: These do have potential to break and shear off, although it is usually unlikely. In the UK such tow balls are not as common, we tend to have...

Depends what you want to use the rope for really. Do NOT use chains or cables unless you want to injure or kill someone!! A recovery rope should be used for recovery not a tow rope. Usually recovery ropes have a bit of stretch and give to...

That probably depends on which bit of paper you are reading.... You could argue that a 1971 Range Rover on paper was better in every way than a Series Land Rover. But they are different vehicles built for different purposes. This is true of the...

l think the new Defender looks best in base trim (no bling) with the steel wheels When l say "looks best" l mean "looks as good as it's going to" But few agree with me by the looks of it. Ebay is awash with new "take off" steel wheels with tyres...

Sounds like you have the wrong vehicle tbh..... standard hinges should be good for 20-30 years. Hugely unlikely you'll find anything else that magically happens to have the exact same bolt patter, angles and open radius.

Why km? Aren't you in the UK...

Can you give more context? Are you talking fast or slow driving? And are you meaning the factory lights on a vehicle or after market lights aux lights? Is the need to use these lights on the public roads? And what exactly are you trying to see...

You my or my not be caught, but one thing is for certain. Putting them on a vehicle that is too new for them and only fitting for 'style' purposes is a truly w anker thing to do.

The difference (percentage wise) will remain. When I used to setup an RTV event, I'd spank £50 in fuel when using a 3.5 V8 Ninety. In a Tdi the same setup would cost about £20-25. But it depends what you are doing really. If the V8 drops to say...

Do remember that boost is a measure of resistance and not flow. Therefore a higher boost figure does not always mean you are getting more air into the engine. It may also be hotter air too.

So there is a lot to answer here. I like V8's (currently own 4 of em, not just Rover's, but all OHV's). The Rover V8 isn't a bad engine for 200-250hp targets, although from the factory they make a lot less. Most V8's are autos which hamper...

Have you tried speaking to Ashcroft?? Their phone number is on their website. And even if not a direct exchange, the price might be quite similar. As for a 1.2 This depends. What engine do you have, how much power, what gearbox and ratio set...

Absolutely no chance. :D

Land rover went through this process twice. The first time they came up with the Range Rover in 1970 and the second time the Discovery 1 in 1989. If you don't want utility or agricultural, then you have the wrong vehicle. A classic Range Rover...

Anyone?

Anyone fitted an aftermarket steering wheel to a Freelander 1? Do they have the same column/splines in all models/years? Anyone know where the airbag wires are to add a resister to stop the light coming on?

Puma's have the same HP as a Td5 stock for stock and similar tuning ability. Puma's also had a top speed limiter out of the factory....

Wrong side. And also checked. But haven't looked any further yet, not a huge amount of room in a p38 engine bay, not like working on a Defender.

Unless it's obvious where the leak is coming from then you need to clean up the pipework first, to try and spot the leak. If it's a hose / pipe leak then quite a good way is to get it on full lock (max pressure) and use a piece of white A4 paper...

On the way home yesterday the power steering failed, leaving a nice puddle. Anyone want to guess what has happened?

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/a-frames-and-dollies/a-frames-and-dollies What is an A-frame? An A-frame is a frame (shaped like an A) which is attached to the front of a vehicle (eg a car) to provide an attachment that allows the...

Assuming you are in the UK, then the biggest hurdle maybe a legal one. As you can't build one car out of two. This would then be known as a 'ringer'. And would technically be non-roadworthy. This mostly only applies to certain components, namely...

I gave them a shout but they have not come back to me, so they may not be making them anymore 😭. Maybe I buy old ones and make my own, if I can get my TIG working properly 🤣

What do you think needs sorting? To give another example. I have a Chevy Camaro with the LS1 5.7 V8 engine. Swapping a later manifold on gives an easy dyno proven 20hp. Same pipe work, same throttle body. Same size inlet hole on the manifold...

That's a great idea, Thanks I'll contact them and ask 👍

When I seen all the craggy intrusions from casting on the otherwise shiny new head, I figured it was the perfect opportunity to remove the intrusions into and smooth out the ports. Since it's direct injection the fuel mixing in the piston, allows...

Performance is relative, as is efficiency, not sure why you'd prefer a less efficient engine or one that potentially makes less power??? Intake manifolds come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and can seriously impact performance. Lots and lots...

Have you tried contacting Fourby? I think they only make them to order, so a phone call might sort one out for you.

Headlights can benefit from running via a relay. There is a wiring kit for this. But not overly difficult to make. Likewise with the light bars. There should be an engine loom. Although it is only a few wires. One to suit the engine would...
