What do you do with your car? I use mine (200tdi ARB F&R) in the odd competition and think they are great. If I did not push it as hard as I do then as already mentioned I would not bother. If on the other hand you want a little edge then fit one to the rear only. Fitting them to the...

Can you give us a picture as I thought the rev counter was standard? Either way the rev counter/fuel/temp is separate from the speedo and idiot light cluster. Land rover were never good at leaving extra wires lying around so you may have to wire it up. Have a look at the two plugs at the...

Mine is somewhere in the 300,000 km mark, not totaly sure as the speedo was changed but the engine/gearbox/transfer is original (200tdi) and is brilliant if a little noisey! Over here as the weather is better rust is not an issue (well not too much of an issue) so I will be hanging on to her...

They bolt onto the air con rad frame and cover the rad and also the intercooler. They could be fitted with a bit of minor iron work. I did use them as a back up on my airconditioned 200tdi when I took off my engine driven fan. But to be honest I hardly ever need them, in fact I am think of...

Do not worry about not being able to start the car, PM me if you are not sure how to do it. Most on here know what I am talking about, regards Dave

OH YES, even a video would be good and a oh and a...............oh god the purvert in me is coming out.:D regards Dave

You might want to check the door hinges by trying to lift the door when it is virtualy closed. They could be worn causing the door drop in the first place which may just be new pins/hinges. If there is no play but the door has dropped see if there is any adjustment at the hinge, if not a...

To gain a better turning circle I assume you are going to adjust the stop bolts? If this is the case will this not put additional strain on the CV's? Or am I missing something here? I tried spacers on a racer to get tyre clearence and ripped the studs straight out, to be fair this was a...

Which can be the same as my old V12 jaguar!! But seriously the leak is rarely IMHO a blockage, it is normaly the pipes not glues to the sunroof drain. By all means try but you normaly end up with the headlining out. regards Dave

My 200tdi has the brackets but they were never fitted at the factory, I could always retrofit I suppose and lose all that articulation..............yeh right!! regards Dave

IT WAS BANK HOLIDAY..........OF COURSE IT WAS GOING TO RAIN!!! regards Dave

Check the resistance between the body earth and alternator bracket. If the earth is a bit on the poor side then it is unlikely the engine would crank and start in the first place i.e. the starter would need more 'earth' if you like than the lights. Do the lights flicker with the engine off...

I dont want to offend (trying to be as tactful as possible here) but what side did you weld the 5mm plate to? I have seen it on TWO occasions welded to the same side as the push rod and this kept a slight pressure on thrust bearing and simply wore the bearing out in a couple of days? Sorry if...

If you use it for wading CharlesY the overide should be to switch it OFF. If the temp setting is right and the temp switch is used with a relay then it should be reliable. There should not be a need to override the thermostat unless you are worried about reliabilty issues. My 200tdi has...

The bellhousing should be water tight hence the need for the wading plug in deep water. Also where the engine and geabox meet there should be a smear of silicone to seal it up. I have seen this on every 'first time gearbox out' disco I have seen. Many do not bother when replacing, if you...

How long was the steering ok after the transplant? I am unsure if there is a compatability issue with the box/pump? Dirt is the bain of power steering systems, is it possible some got in during the tranplant? When you move the steering wheel hard on lock can you feel/hear/see any reduction in...

The tank may be ok, but I am unsure if you have a fuel pump in the tank that you may have to remove and extend the pick up pipe (somebody help me with this)? You will need a flow and return to the tank which the V8 probably has, you will need a fuel filter head on the bulkhead, the V8 IIRC is...

Apart from underneath can you place a direction on the noise? My 200tdi developed a clunk towards the OSF and it turned out to be the bushes on the radius arm to axle connection. I also had to have repair washers welded in on one side as it had worn the axle mounting lugs. regards Dave

I may be wrong but looking at a couple of close shots of the tyres make me think they were on their last legs? It could be mud but I am not so sure, if they are bald he got all he deserved, if not then I feel sorry for him. No one wants to see someone else's car trashed do they? regards...

you sure its the trailer getting wind displacment? :D regards Dave
