Assuming it is a 90 you have. These are good quality springs: https://www.flatdoguk.com/search.asp?types=FD+SPRINGS You can get standard height or +2" in the standard spring rate. I wouldn't go for HD ones. The +2" will give about 1" of lift, due to only being std rate, but work well with...

tbh Terrafirma shocks generally haven't been all that great, you may want to check them when you remove them and may well end up making a mess of the fronts ones in order to remove them. What do you use your vehicle for? There is a lot of choice with shocks and springs. And you don't need to...

Do you know what was changed? Do you go off road at all? Longer shocks can increase suspension flex, you don't need to have the lift to get this benefit. But there are many many different ways to modify the suspension.

Bang sounds more like a half shaft. What sort of noise? When you say the diff was noisy? There are like 100 rotating things between the drivers seat and the road. Very unlikely to be able to isolate and say a diff is noisy while driving. Not saying it wasn’t an issue. But replacing one would...

Hi, interested. What part of the country are you in? Do you know the condition of the box or are any parts missing? Could you PM me some photos?

This is my build here: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/200tdi-s3-88-pas-long-travel-suspension-rebuild.298104/ Having also got another 200Tdi powered Series, I'd also suggest moving the alternator to the other side of the engine. Gwyn Lewis does a kit, it'll give way more room for the...

As it stands, £200-500 really, but nobody is likely to accept that. The chassis and engine are worth money on their own, but obviously require work to get into individual bits. As a rule, parts will often add up to more than an entire vehicle. A 200Tdi swap is not a bad swap as far as engine...

Do you know what the exact failure was of the previous two diffs and what bits where actually replaced? The front axle has many components, the diff is not normally a wear item and only really fails or breaks under duress of extreme off roading (usually with massive tyres) or if you are running...

Are you in the UK? With no rear prop, do you have this declared as a modification with your insurance? Hacking the rear driveline up may well be boarderline on if it is truly roadworthy or not. Fixing the vehicle is really the best option or simply getting another car if you don't want to fix...

Also worth noting that the TDV6 was used in lots and lots of vehicles. Loads of Land Rover products from a D3, thru FFRR, RRS, D5 and Velar. But it was also used in a whole heap of Jaguars too, as well as Ford's, Citroen's and Peugeot's. And is still used today in the current Ford Ranger and VW...

But they aren't related. A stock engine stands just as much chance of failure, a remap will not alter the odds.

Yet I don't think there has ever been a case of a remap causing the failure. It also isn't that the engine isn't strong, there is just a potential issue in the design. Factory examples produced up to around 300bhp in some models/regions.

R380 stumpy is mostly a direct fit, it was intended for warranty use in the switch over from LT-77 to R380. https://ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/product/short-bellhousing-r380/

Any exhaust mods? The inlet could have an impact too. And as jonlad said, where you record boost from can also vary what you see. I assume you are also running a bigger intercooler? I'm no turbo expert, but I wouldn't focus too heavily on boost numbers. Although without before and after dyno...

Do remember boost is a measure of resistance, not flow. Breathing mods and other things can reduce boost, but increase flow and power. Have you had it on a dyno to see what it is doing? Or what other mods do you have?
