Suck it and see would be my advise. But I wouldn't use castor corrected arms, get swivels or a re-jigged axle casing. HTH

They are very under stressed without the turbo and so will give years of service like that, however, personally I don't really see the point as most of the horse power and torque gains are from the turbo and intercooler.

Thanks for that Jai, I hadn't realised that there was a bolt on conversion possible. I thought that you had to make mounts for the calipers.

I'm sure there is a reason that there is a Salisbury axle under the rear of a 110. :rolleyes: There are also disc braked versions on later 110s, although they are a bit expensive.

Remove the front prop, lock centre diff and go for a drive. That will soon tell you if it is prp shaft related for not :)

But it won't be a Salisbury axle tho'. It is possible to convert a Salisbury drum to discs but needs some fabrication.

Yeah plenty :) They will pull a Series with 3.54 RR diffs no problem, so feel like a sports car with normal gearing. If you are gentle on the throttle you will see into the 30s mpg as well. It is possible to do the whole conversion using all LR parts, you will have to modify some of them but...

Check here for some engine bay pictures Couple of 200Tdi into LWB engine bay pictures. I post over there as andyb :) They also have a whole sub-forum about it. Which is worth checking out as well. Login

There is a list of some Dorset ones under the Freelander forum.

Not been on this forum for a while so missed this, but ..... ....there is always me :) Based near Ferndown. Some past customers on this forum.

A 200 from a Discovery is not an easy fit into a 109; the low slung turbo gets in the way of the chassis. A 200 from a Defender doesn't have this issue as the turbo is higher mounted....however the Defender engine commands a price premium for this reason (they are in fact an easier fit in all...

There is a good LR garage thread under the Freelander section. HTH

@Michaela.....what diff is it? Maybe there is one more local :)

If you include the crank case breather in the service schedule (or fit the BMW item) then the TD4 is the best of the bunch....by a long ways IMHO :) For my money I would get the GS on 78K miles. The ES will be over 100k miles pretty soon and that is a psycological barrier to some buyers and...

Limited slip is often more severe as there are shock loadings thru the half shafts. A locking is 'kinder'. However, a Detroit locker is probably a good half way house. They are locked in normal operation but allow for some slip to allow cornering. Personally I would upgrade to 24 spline and...

They are heavy. I would recommend that you look at a late Jap diesel engine if you want a good towing barge.

Yes in a word. Use the 19J engine mounts.

I would suggest suspension bushes or a sticking caliper.

Yes, one on the shelf here next to the hens teeth :D Seriously tho', will keep an ear open.

Defo change the oil pressure sender. I fitted a recently recon'd 19J to a Defender and the oil light was on all the time. Swapped in the sender from the junked engine and the light went out. If you don't know when the oil was last changed I would do that and the filter as well.
