P38 has no centre locking diff, it is a viscous unit, so never fully locks. Most p38's have either 2 wheel or 4 wheel traction control, so they should behave quite differently, as will an L322.

Standard to what though? Lots of springs fitted over the years and different body/engine configs will impact ride height. Shocks generally don't impact ride height, although Gas shocks (ones that extend on their own) will have a slight upwards pressure and make a vehicle sit slightly higher...

Di conversion is the most pointless swap ever IMO. It is just a lazy mans conversion as it requires almost no effort to keep the Turbo. Direct Injection is less refined than indirect. A 2.5NAD should make 67hp. We also know a turbocharged NAD aka 19j makes 89bhp. Meaning as a minimum a non...

No subframes on a Tdi.... do you mean something else?

You do make a declaration, either online or by signing a bit of paper. You do this each year for the MoT exemption as part of the Road Tax process. You are also signing to say the vehicle is of the correct classification, aka Historic status. Maybe be a little more observant next time you do...

They aren't correct at all, they are taking one very simplistic view and toting it as the definitive answer..... taking no account of any technical aspect of a vehicle or how they are assembled.

You are still COMPLETELY missing the point..... You are NOT swapping on a new chassis with a different ID. You are repairing your old EXISTING chassis.... an RRC chassis does not have the correct rear cross member or any of the out riggers. All of these bits will remain as original parts, with...

We had 17" rims, but recently switched to 16", running 205/80R16's, which work really well. I'd guess you might get away with 225/65R17.... https://tyresdirectuk.co.uk/t/tyres?page=2&per_page=&search%5Btyre_diameter%5D%5B%5D=17&search%5Btyre_profile%5D%5B%5D=65&search%5Btyre_width%5D%5B%5D=225

Most modern cars are not designed to fit things like light bars, good luck physically fitting it. The wiring is mostly simple for the lightbar, if you want to wire it into the mainbeam, you'll need to start pulling wires and maybe taking things apart. A wiring diagram will help. Do remember...

Aux mainbeam lights are not illegal, but they should have a way of disabling them in theory....

Utter nonsense I'm afraid. It is not illegal to modify a vehicle. Do at least put some effort into reading the .gov pages I linked before posting utter drivel.

What 2.2? A Puma?

I don't think it is all that modder beware or buyer. As stated above, you have to make the self declaration every year, for Historic status and MoT exemption. When you buy a car, VED is non transferrable, so you will have to make those declarations there and then to use it on the road. so the...

Where is your data that the 2.25 is cleaner..... :vb-poke-with-stick: 😂

That's your opinion and not one based on actual fact.... there are many different ways of modding a vehicle. For example, a Tdi engine is as akin to a 2.25 engine a 4.6 Rover V8 is to an early 3.5 The Tdi uses essentially the same block as the earlier engine, so could quite justifiably be seen...

If you are rock crawling and have diff lockers it could be an issue too, as that is often a high traction surface, but one where you would want 4wd. Not much in the way of rocks in the UK, so not really an issue here and any rocks we do have are slick and often wet & slippery. I'm only down the...

eh? That is from the Ashcroft site... did you read it? As for the difference, what do you think happens when you are going round a corner on the road?

If I recall you were also asking about 285 sized tyres. These are quite big and if you are running the Disco gearing, you will be over geared to some extent. Especially with a Tdi engine. A Disco LT-77 will have the tall gear set and the 1.2:1 transfer box. Disco would have come on small wheels...
