my brain is working... ... can a 200tdi auxilery pulley and belt system be switched from the single v belt to the 300tdi multi v belt and pulleys? I ask as I am thinking of switching my alternator to a high output one and I'm thinking the resistance caused by the extra grunt of the alternator...

tcuted the whole truck and got rid of most of the laning scratches. was planning on some wiring aswell but the cleaning of my cav and disco took all day

ah fair play I want front and rear anderson connectors for jump leads as i always have trouble with the croc clips and my battery and always seem to be facing the wrong way to jump someone

went to lro show last weekend was the kids and dog's first camping trip and I was impressed with their behaviour. had to lengthen the legs on my roof rack as it was for a defender truck cab so was too short to clear the disco roof. I'm now using my cav for comuting to try to save some money on...

how does your grill stand up to connecting and disconnecting the andersons? does it flex about alot?

Refitted my grill beacons in the remaining grill after fitting my winch and put a new earth lead on my second battery that goes to chassis and alternator clamp hopefully that will help with the power drain problems

Managed to move the land rover badge and fit a cut off switch in the grill

GOT MY WINCH TODAY!!!! It came a day early so put my new tarp over my car port frame I acquired gave the rain the finger and got my winch fitted. I went with the winch-it zed. Took my time making the grill fit snug round the winch then realised I hadn't left enough room to put the cover over the...

That's what I'm looking for. Knew I'd seen them somewhere. They're in the Haynes book showing how to modify a disco

http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/25-x-Secure-Nut-Caps-Cover-Caps-M6-M8-M10-M12-/321802585055?nav=SEARCHSEARCH They are that sort of thing but metal and the cap knocks in flush so the only way to get them out is to chisel the cap back out

I'm planning on welding my bumper to my chassis rails so that will stop them taking the whole thing. I have heard of welding a piece of box section over the bolts aswell but was looking for the easier way of doing it with the bolt caps but just can't find them. I'm thinking I'm just not using...

I have heard of caps that encase the head of the bolt that holds the winch to the bumper. They are steel versions of the yellow or black number plate screw caps. But I can't find them anywhere. Does anyone know what I mean and know the proper name for them and/or have a link to somewhere I can...

I have done a fair bit of research about use of winches for off road and recovery. And yes I'll agree they can be deadly when they go wrong. That's partly the reason I'm after the best I can afford instead of the first I see. Hence the 13000lb instead of labouring a 8000lb with a snatch block...

See mine will mainly be for fun at yarwell where I have needed to be pulled through the odd rut so I can't see me being stuck to the point of getting close to the max load of a cheaper winch and it'll be covered for the majority of its life. It's more so I can self recover instead of always...

All I'm concerned about with a higher speed is that the gearing is higher so surely the motor will be stressed when pulling the weight unlike if its got a lower speed and so more torque. Basically the difference between high and low range with our landys

Thanks for the advice guys. Grezzer, this is why I'm looking at 13000lb winches as my truck weighs 2.5 ton with noone in it. So 5 people weighing 100kg each will see it hit 3 ton so a winch that can pull nearly 6 ton is the minimum I want to go for. At least then its capable for at least up to 5...

I have a D1 200tdi and I'm looking for a budget winch with 13000lb pull. I have found the winch-it winches on ebay but there are 3 or 4 at the same price and I'm getting confused as to which would b best suited for me. they have one that they claim is best for off-roaders, the only thing I can...

fitted new rear brake calipers and pads and an osr hub seal. anyone had problems with bearmach calipers? mine were 10mm holes when the mounting bolts are 12mm. all fitted now I've drilled them out. just got the front pads to fit now

thats something I really need to do. got the wingmirror fitted tonight only to find that the motors don't work. looks like I'll be making a good one out of 2. oh well more tinkering :D

Went billing yesterday got a good few bits and now have a complete nose back on my D1 with noo grill and light surrounds and a noo winch bumper. Got a replacement dash clock and drivers wing mirror as mine wobbles about so I have no idea what's next to me. Noo central locking box and fob so I...
