Going to buy a set of Insa turbo special tracks after Christmas and wondering what to do about fitting. I recently took my Landy to a local tyre place as i had a tyre loosing pressure which turned out to be a rim leak which they resealed but also told me that i had run flat bands fitted and they...

I`ve allways liked the look the this one and looks pretty straight forward to build http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DISCOVERY-BOBTAIL-200-300-Pickup-complete-fiberglass-kit-project-LAND-ROVER-/131148009234?hash=item1e8907cf12:g:OLAAAOxyVaBS1x-J#ht_1161wt_1111

I reciently overhauled my front calipers, very straight forward job. The number for the caliper body seals that i used is 17H8764L

is yours a manual as i`m thinking of going with an auto to compesate a bit for no low box

My 90 Is still running like a dream on its 19j, it came fitted with an egt gauge at 55-60 mph on motorway going up hill the egt hits 900F with a slight rise in coolant temp

It's an 1989 LR90 with a 19j engine so I'm thinking Disco 1, just wanted to confirm

need to confirm what axle I have as I noticed a leak and on stripping I need Rear stub axle Rear wheel bearing (is packed with mud) Seals and gaskets Rear brake pads,covered in oil and worn out Not sure if it's a defender or Disco axle

Thats good to hear, its just i read a lot about them bending easy and having to be removed and straightened along with the brackets, but if you`ve had no problems must be user error on their part

Cheers, good to hear from someone who`s used one in anger so to speak the only thing from what i`ve read is the Mantec tank guard seems to be a bit fragile so would be looking into making something a bit more substantial.

I think the FL2 will definitely fit the bill for me, what are early high milers like as I don't think I could bring myself to drag a newer motor through some of the lanes round here

Probably the only other thing I would like to add to that would be some sill protection

That seems to be the jist of what little info I can find, so sounds like a contender shame about the lack of any off roading accessories like rock sliders etc

I`m looking at getting rid of my BM and 90 next year and replacing with one car, the Freelander 2 seems to fit the bill in size, comfort for daily use, fuel consumption and from the videos i`ve looked at pretty good off road, anyone have any experiance of them. There seems to be no off road bits...

I read about 4kg for a railco without the swivel seal fitted

What make parts did you use, I fitted a Brittpart kit including swivel and it all fitted perfectly and just set the preload by feel

I made an electrolysis tank when i done the brakes on my boys MG so will probably use that again as it done a brilliant job and just paint them, i like the sound of stainless pistons though, a bit of future proofing.

Ha ha yeah, they looked all right on the phone, posted em up here a thought o s**t their bloody awful Trouble is every time i do a job on it i find another, the pistons on the front brake calipers look crap, quite a bit of corrosion so will need to overhaul them pretty soon, ah well never a...

Bought a complete kit from Tim Fry Land Rovers, cheapest i could find and free delivery if you spend over 50 quid and delivered in a couple of days, mine was a Britpart one but needed quick and cheap so going to see how it goes, must say it all went together easily so fingers crossed.

I had it all stripped and cleaned up during the week, only one small hiccup when putting the track rod end back on the nut went on half way and seized solid for some reason, managed to pick one up at a local car spares shop so all good

All my bits turned up in the week so had a pleasant morning fitting the new swivel and stub axle.
