    Another A frame towing question

    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 vehicle to be towed behind another vehicle (eg a...

    Body Swap Discovery 3

    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 things like the chassis. Land Rover marketed the...

    Dual inlet manifold - installation

    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. But a slightly different internal design. The two...

    Dual inlet manifold - installation

    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 of documented tests in written articles and videos...

    Dual inlet manifold - installation

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

    What loom would be best for my landrover 90 thats now running a 300tdi

    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 make sense. But haven’t you got this already...

    What loom would be best for my landrover 90 thats now running a 300tdi

    Nobody can really answer this fully. Really depends what has been done to your vehicle. And what your are wanting to wire in. Also there isn’t a single loom. There are many parts to it. A later style blade fuse box might be a sensible upgrade. If you don’t really know/not confident, get an...

    2" LIFT FOR EXISTING SPRING CONVERSION

    The answer is sort of.... Yes you can do a very simple lift. But the question to ask is why? What do you intend to use the vehicle for? Poor lifts generally reduce on road performance and also reduce off road capability causing the vehicle to be more prone to becoming cross axled and waving...

    Series 3 shocks

    Daily driving a 109? Lots of miles? What sort of off roading? I'd be tempted to look for some suspension upgrades. A good parabolic setup with some longer shocks and new bushes should make for a more comfortable and capable vehicle. Personally Terrafirma probably wouldn't be my go to shock...

    Series 3 shocks

    Almost any online placing selling LR shocks will list what they are for..... have you tried looking anywhere? Have you done anything else to the suspension and what is your intended use? Original is sort of fine if you don't plan to do much with the vehicle, but you can get much better...

    19j worth saving ?

    Not sure it should really be in the slow lane with a good running TD. The gearing is largely the same as a Tdi, although 5th gear is a little shorter, but they should quite happily cruise at 60-65mph. And the potential to exceed 70mph should the need arise, although you will be working at quite...

    19j worth saving ?

    I think it has to come down to what you want from the vehicle and if you are doing the work yourself or not. £300 for a Tdi is very good (aka cheap) these days. And somewhat unusual to get one for that kind of money. Do you know if it runs well or needs any other work? The entire conversion...

    19j worth saving ?

    The 19j is far superior to a Series III on the road. A petrol Series should have a claimed 72bhp vs 89bhp for the TD. The Ninety weighs more, but still. A 2.25 diesel is nearer 60bhp. But the real difference is the torque, thanks to the turbo. Out on a dual carriage way bypass style road the...
