Folks - all those pages made fo interesting reading. On My Def 110 I'll fo the following: 1. get the P38 fans 2. Install them in FRONT of the rad. 3. They were installed in front of the rangie anyway, drawing air in to cool the AirCon radiator 4.They will go at the front lower half of the...

Hi mad hat man and thanks for the reply - what should I look for un in the blades - see enclosed picture of the actual fan set. Based on how the fan shrowds and the fixing brackets are, it looks like I can place them behind the rad or in front of the rad, provided the fan area is close to the...

Hi All - Similar question from me, a Def 110 SW converted to Isuzu 2.8 - I mate gave me a RR P38 twin fan set, which I want to put in my vehicle, at the same time taking out the viscous fan, also adding a thermostatic control as well as a manual override throwugh a switch Can anybody tell me the...

Hi and thanks again - I have been advised that a Def TD5 Radiator / Intercooler pack will be a straight replacement for my old rad, with some obvious fiddling with brackets and pipework. Would anyone be able to confirm if this may be the case - I have been offered a TD5 Rad / intercooler at a...

Hi All - thanks for the info, then : 1. Which SAAB intercooler am i looking at: classic 900, GM 900 or 9000, etc. Is it a big job to do and do you know anyone that can do it for me at a good price - with a job well done. 2. Would a rad / intercooler pack out of a Def 300TDi be a traight...

Hi All - after having completed a number of pieces of work on my 1987 110 Defender (soundproofing, dashboard, etc - see other posts), I am planning to attack the engine bay with the following pieces: 1. Installation of an intercooler 2. Installation of a Range Rover P38 twin fan set (I have...

Hi FinBar - I also have a 110 with an Isuzu 2.8 TD. The decision on replacing the 2.8 Isuzu with a 300TDi is very much dependento on wether you are planning long range travel expecially Africa, where mechanics know 300 TDis better. Alternatively, the Isuzu engine is known to be virtually...

Hi Landowner - regrettably I would not be able to confirm on that one. I believe the plate will still allow the shaft into the plate, HOWEVER I'd advise calling the professionals to confirm details before getting stuck half way though G

HI landowner - re. conversion, the bits that you need are faily easy: Engine Conversion plate There are a few specialists that do conversion kits. Conversion & Precision - Quality Engine Fitting Kits there you will find conversions into lt77, lt85, r380 and even lt95 if you want to go...

Hiya...interesting question....that would be mainly because when I go travelling the mechanics across Europe / North Africa will already know the 300 engine, plus all Isuzu spares and repairs are becoming mode difficult to source - See description of items for sale in For Sale section.

Ear Plugs? How am I supposed to listen to Beethoven's most recent reconding by Deutsche Grammophon with ear plugs whilst cruising at 80mph on a stretch of the M4 and exchanging views with my fellow passengers? :)

Hiya - Yes I'd say 98% fits fine. The only thing the gear tunnel aperture is slightly wider, but i have a Scorpion racing centre cubby box that as it is longer that the standard LR ones, protrudes a bit towards the gears, so the slight gap (aboy 1 inch) between the sound proofing and the gear...

Hi All - not sure if you al have been successful in implanting your 300TDis in your vehicles, but I had started a new thread to cover tha same thing, e.g fitting a new Disco 300TDi + Disco R380 +Disco LT230 1:1.222 Transfer box in my Defender 110 MY1987. Details as follows: I am planning the...

Hi all - just a quick addition to soundproofing. I have been doing quite a lot of work on my Def110 / isuzu2.8TD(soon to be a 300TDi). Re. Soundproofing I believe a I had a breakthrough of various ideas over the last 12 months. This involved some time and money (not too much) but helped a lot...

Ha ha thanks i feel very proud, yes the dashboard now loks the part. Incidentally I also now did the soundproofing and thermal proofing of the entire roof and bulkhead. I can listen to music and talk (with engine turned off ha ha!). I'll post piccies of the insulation. Incidentally if you know...

Hi and thanks for reply. In the process of planning, 2 further thoughts that you triggered: as I am replacing the LT85 with a Disco R380( should be the same as Def??) which will go on my current Disco Lt230 (aready on), will I also require the following: 300 Gear tunnel 300 Floor panels new...

Hi All - I have a Defender 110, formerly V8 and not with an Isuzu 2.8 TD + LT85 gearbox that I will be converting to a 300 TDi + R380 Gearbox. has any of you done such a work and what are the key areas that are to be ceful of. So far i am putting into the planinng: ENgine Mounts Chasiss fit...

Hiya - I am planning to do the same as I will be traveling across Europe / North Africa to go Surfing, so need an engine that the bush mechanics know - 300TDi it is then. As you are planning the same on a 110, do you know if the Disco 300TDi transplant is a difficult one? Also I am replacing...
