Go and find lots of the loudest bangers/air bomb you can find and rig them so that if your landy moves they go off (not qiuite sure how but a little imagination). Will make them jump and will wake you too.;)

You have checked your drive belts first?????

There are several articles on K+N filters, consensus is that they may flow better than stock air filters but the filtration is poorer. More dust and contaminants getting through, reducing engine life etc. On a road car this is not such a big problem, but on a vehicle used off road in dusty...

Doh!!!! Blonde moment. Wrong thread.:o

Excellent! My mate worked on jets in the middle east, he had to repair the belly of one plane after the pilot decided to scare his mate driving down the road. Put a nice dent in the roof of the car too!!!:D

I really do not think the drive train is that strong, I have not been off-roading that much, but have seen several diffs broken, lots of steering components bent/broken, gearboxes that have given up including my own, broken axle mountings and spring hangers on axles, and I have lost count of the...

Land rovers are slow, heavy, with a weak drive train and not that great off road, that`s why they don`t get used, let alone win. However they are cheap and easy to mess about with and there is huge aftermarket support and you can build them how you want, which is why I have one. Bowler seem to...

While bushes and cranked arms offer a quick and /or relatively easy way to correct castor alignment they are not ideal. Altering the diff pinion angle throws out the correct geometry on the propshaft added to the increased angle due to the lift, it will cause U.J`s etc to wear more quickly and...

Just a thought, but you wanted your car on the road the next day, if you had ordered cheaper bearings off ***bay/ Mail order, without a premium carraige fee, I doubt you would of had them next day. TBH. if I needed my vehicle on the road, I wouldn`t mind paying a bit extra to get the parts off...

I had a similar problem with my 200tdi. The clutch would bleed correctly but just wouldn`t work very well, in the end found the seals in the master cylinder were passing. Fitted a new master cylinder and has been fine since. Did a temporary fix??? by using ATF, it worked but was a bit slow on...

I went there about a month ago and it was good fun. It is the only pay and play site I have been too but would defo go again soon.

The amount of travel would be increased dramatically. If you look at some the yank desert racers they have up to 36" of travel with 4 bar set-ups.

Hi Just wondering if anyone out there has fitted coilover shocks to their disco. I have been looking at fitting a four bar and coilover set up. I have played around with yank motors mainly (hence the user name) and 4 bar conversions are fairly common. After recently fitting a 2" lift kit I...

There is quite a lot of info on K+N filters on t`internet, they will allow better breathing but it appears that the filtration is not as good, allowing more particulates through, and reducing engine life accordingly. Personally I wouldn`t fit one on an offroad vehicle. Also if you google oil...

Thanks BTW forgot to mention I`m an expat Cornishman trying to educate the world about pasties:D
