Hi All, OK so another question on this axle rebuild I am going through at the moment. I have split the calliper (yes I know they are a bugger to re-seal but I have plenty of time, although now I have said that I'm sure the axle on the truck will fail tomorrow lol) Anyway.... Now...

big thumb up for a pressure wash after a off road session. My off roader gets several hours of attention to the underside with the pressure washer after any muddy off roading and in 8 years of owning it I have only had to put one very small patch on the chassis. The sills and boot floor are...

oh, is this an option??

Yer think I'll stay clear of the gaiters and fit a new swivel. just given the other swivel a really good clean and it looks great with the exception a couple of small bits that are starting to go. So now I just need to work out the best place to order all the parts from (this is going to cost...

Going to take a good look at both the swivels a little later. But assuming one is good to reuse (which on initial observations it looked OK (Better than the ones on my other truck when I bought that 8 years ago)) I will just replace the one the other side and not use gaiters. I've come to...

If there is no crap inside the gaitor from the get go though should it not be OK. I am swung towards replacing the swivel(s) just wondered if anyone had any previouse experience with the gaitor?

Hi All. So I am currently overhauling a spare pair of axles that I have for my 300tdi. One of the swivels doesn't look to bad, need to have a proper look at it tomorrow but for sure the other one has seen better days. Now the cheapest price I have found so far is £75 plus postage (its non...

Cool :-) Sounds like a really nice project.

Hmm LPG, that changes my view a bit. :-) If your going to be on LPG for 95% of running then it would be quite safe to say leaving flapper injection on isn't going to cause you any great problems and fitting a rising rate adjustable fuel pressure regulator with increased fuel pressure will...

I hope you pressure tested it hot as the cracks will not show up cold? Sorry don't want to be negative just sharing my experience. Looks like it will be a nice build. Interesting to see the megasquirt, thinking of going down this route myself sometime on my Disco.

Defo stick with the 4.2 Hotwire injection system (14CUX) one of the best injections systems they used. Very simple to understand and tunable by Mark Adams if you are looking for ultimate bhp however one of Mark Adams chips through RPi engineering will make sure the engine is running spot on if...

I have always read about filtering down to 5 microns?? Not necessary then with J cloths?? Happy to take this section of the thread to PM if you are?

Hi dave, (Assuming this is your name from your username) I know of the behind the rear wheel arch tanks you are talking of as used them hundreds of times when I used to be heavily involved with LPG conversions. Im not sure you would have space in the filler cap for two fillers however this all...

So are you already doing this on your Disco? Having the filter where the oil is thinner definitely makes sense to me.

Yer I like the idea of a twin tank setup and agree that its better to use the cheap filters as you can also see into them. My main issue is space for filtering and where to get the waste oil from as I have heard it is more difficult to collect now as many companies pay to buy this stuff from...

This interests me a lot as now running my first diesel. Also really want to build a hho dry cell to see for myself if they have any positive effect. I saw in tescos yesterday they had two 5 litres of sunflower oil for £9 I almost bought some just to make a 50 / 50 mix but then bottled it. Lol

Be careful just sticking a bigger fuse in. If the fuse is 40 amp it will not blow till over that and it's unlikely you have 50 amp cable to the fans which is probably why the cables melted due to a possible fault and to high fuse rating for the cables. Effectively your cables acted as the fuse...

Hi There, Yes first thing to establish is if the vapouriser is getting a supply of hot water or not. The vapouriser (as its name suggests) changes the liquid fuel to a vapour ready for the engine to burn however this is a very cold process so if the vapouriser is not heated it will simply...

Its all good guys :-)

Just used the search feature and pulled this thread up which has kind of helped with the questions was going to ask but not completely lol My 300tdi Disco sitting at 3000rpm in 5th gear is just over 60mph. Now this is OK as when sat on dual carriage way I just sit at 60mph and I'm getting...
