LOL! I know what you mean but my disco is in very good nick with hardly any rust and only 79k on the clock so I will keep it long term and the performance gains are worth it to me at least ;)) it gives me more than TD5 performance without all the drawbacks of a TD5. been there done that got very...

Hmmm maybe, dont see why not though my one comes apart dead easy and its a Garrett so I guess spares are readily available

its very simple the actuator is boost controlled, more boost equals more opening of the vanes. works really well

Its an Allard kit and its fantastic!

When I got my 300 tdi disco a few month ago the first thing I did was remove the egr system, yesterday I removed the inlet and exhaust manifolds in preparation to fitting my VNT turbo and I was amazed at how much egr crap was blocking the inlet manifold and ports!!! I am surprised the engine ran...

Ok thanks for the link but which bit is out of true, the tensioner or its mounting point?

My tensioner was not squealing but it was knocking quite loudly as it moved up and down on the belt. the bearing felt a bit loose so I changed it but it was still making the same noise so I tried the penny trick, now the tensioner is dead quiet and it doesnt seem to move up and down so much. So...

Sounds to me like you have had ACE and the air suspension removed, (I assume you now have normal anti roll bars) find somebody with a nanocom or a hawkeye or go to a landrover specialist who has the test book electronic equipment and they will be able to switch off the systems in the ecu. That...

Tinley tech do lpg tanks to fit in that position (one each side) for lpg fed discoverys and range rovers, might be worth giving them a ring to see what their fitting kits are like

Are modulars steel? Any disadvantages to using steel wheels?

I have standard ES spec wheels on my discovery 1 and instead of fitting wheel spacers to widen the track I was wondering if any of the other compatible landrover alloys would have a bigger offset to give me a widened track. Does anyone know what wheels would achieve this over the standard ES...

I am about to buy a vnt turbo to fit to my disco, the choice is between the Bell autos bolt on turbo or a "kit" from Allard. Apart from the obvious differences like price and ease of fitting ect does anybody know of any performance differences between the two turbos? I asked the guy at Bell...

How does the d1 v8 compare to the d2 v8 in terms of drivability/comfort? I realise the obvious differences like size and stuff but I am considering getting a v8 on lpg and was trying to weigh up between the last of the d1's or an early d2 thanks Dave

you wont get much more power unless you up the fueling as well. then it will fly! It will reduce stress because you will tend to run the engine at lower rpms due to the increase in tourque and power, you will also find you have to change gear less and driven sensibly you may even see an...

I did mine for the first time couple of weeks ago and it was quite easy but there are a couple of "tricks" to learn first buy a oem kit, there is some crap about second make sure you have the correct timing locking tools, they are about £15 off ebay, I tried first with drill bits and for...

My BMW is fitted with hid and it past mot last week, tester didnt even look at the washers or self levelers he said only need to do that on 2012 cars Sent from my ARCHOS 80G9 using Tapatalk

Also worth adding to the budget is a hawkeye will save you loads of money in the long run Sent from my ARCHOS 80G9 using Tapatalk

I had a year 2000 td5 manual box with 130k on the clock and I now have a 1995 300tdi with 80k on the clock. The td5 is quieter and a bit smoother, ecu remap makes a lot of difference to power and economy but with a bigger intercooler and pump tweak my 300tdi "feels" comparable powerwise but the...

I put a 300tdi in a classic softdash range rover with the help of my local indie, was a straight swap more or less needed an auto electrician to sort out the RR electrics as beeing the last of the classics it had loads of body and air suspensoin computer stuff, no need to change the fuel tank...

I have HID s on my beemer, mot says if fitted must have headlight washers and auto levelling, sports cars with very hard suspension are exempt!!!!WTF.
