    Tyres

    Unsurprisingly LZ wasn't top of google for this search result, and the one I did find down on the list from LZ ironically had straight answer in the title! http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f16/straight-answer-maximum-tyre-size-100798.html Tom

    Water in my line of sight!

    I can't many pics, but here's one of a mini with them...

    RR police spec springs on a 90 and vvt turbo

    A 'complete conversion' suggests a package by a tuner including a new turbo and any associated custom oil feeds, or hoses etc - I'm sorry to say, but won't find any new turbo (particularly for an Audi) for £150 - try twice, three times or even four times that for a genuine one! You may pick up...

    Water in my line of sight!

    With so little over hang on the front end there is nothing to stop the water spraying up in front of you, which on 'car' would get caught by lots of plastic arch/bumper etc... I was only having the conversation with a mate the other day would was struggling to understand why it happens! Tom

    Africans love reliable old landies

    Before a car goes on sale to the general public, its manufacturer performs many tests. Examples are driven in slow motion into walls and other obstacles to make sure they are safe. Doors are opened and closed thousands of times to ensure they won't fall off*. And engines are tested in the vast...

    defender or disco?

    I love tratters, but for what you are doing I can't help but agree with the others - I'd get a disco. Tom

    Future Land Rover design?

    A more modern FC would be great, with locking diffs, winches, portals etc Tom

    Turbo problem

    Well done for getting there, and doing the HG yourself! I have to admit as I read through, I didn't think it was the turbo. Unless it is a roller bearing turbo (they don't have them) it would be a journal bearing where the shaft 'floats' in oil and there is always some left to right play...

    Which Defender?

    I went googling just to have a ganders at one and there's one here for sale Nene Overland New and Used 4x4 Land Rover Defender 130 for sale - doesn't say how much it is though! EDIT: or this one for £35k http://www.neneoverland.co.uk/4x4defender130_used/used4x4defender130130ICON.htm Tom

    can i

    Ha, yes I was only having a bit of a poke - this is LZ after all!! ;) But, seeing as you've bitten, I'll point out you're still incorrect: One gallon equals 4.54609 litres regardless of temperature as it is just a conversion. It is just an equation, and one that has nothing to do with...

    can i

    Technically it is 4.55 if you're going to display the value to 2dp :p Tom

    Knowledge please....defender 90

    Anti-roll bars reduce body roll, but limit suspension travel. Good for on road handling, but they will hinder you a little off road - the more travel and flex you need, the more you would notice them... Tom

    Do you trust your snorkel!?

    Good on you for turning it around so quickly! Did you seal the snorkel yourself or was it already on your vehicle when you got it? Tom

    Do you trust your snorkel!?

    I feel sick with guilt - and hereby give my full apologies to you and the rest of the forum members.:o Tom

    Do you trust your snorkel!?

    You can take the mushroom off and gently cover the intake while listening for air rushing in (and it works) but I have heard this can potentially damage the turbo though perhaps the example I read about the guy had a very week unit that was due to fail soon - who knows! Tom

    Do you trust your snorkel!?

    Definitely - I agree with all of your comments. Tom

    Do you trust your snorkel!?

    My landy is currently minus an MOT so I'm not about to jump into it and get lost in a rhyne, but I would like to know just what percent of us with a snorkel are 100% confident in it? Please all vote :) Cheers Tom EDIT: I did tackle this one last year in the old hi-cap, but it was only...

    Do you trust your snorkel!?

    I don't wish to, but the floods around these parts are not a brief affair being that the terrain is so flat you're in em' for minutes... Tom
