Do you know what ratio they your diffs are? The only ones I have come across without a filler in the nose of the diff were early Range Rover fronts. Every Series (Rover) diff I have seen has had a level plug eventthough it doesn't need in at the front.

It is not the MoT testers job to police tax exemption, so he is unlikely to bother. If you bought it in good faith I would just keep quiet

The injector pipes are different (because the pump is in a different place). I believe the LR pipes can be bent to fit, but that info came from a garage that mainly dealt with trucks, so were perhaps more used to that sort of thing.

If you are thinking iof taking a test in a Series, check the requirements, I think they have to have head restraints nowadays, pity to turn up for the test and have the examiner refuse to go in the vehicles. As for letting a youngster drive, be every careful. When I stated to drive it was in...

Syncro on 2nd on a Ser II? Where did you find that? Back to the original question, I would go for petrol. If you have got it to tinker with, there is more you can do, and it will make sense if you are used to bikes. From what you are saying about use, fuel consumption will not be critical. For...

4.7:1 for a Series, 4.11's are from a Rover Saloon (60?) quite a nice ratio for a 2 1/4 if you can find two.

Should be 3.54:1

Interesting idea, but Land Rovers have been around for over 60 years, I'm sure someone must have thought of this already, and if it worked, we'd know about it.

Looking at the spacing and size of the top holes, I think you might have a Dixon Bate bracket for a Series Land Rover rather than a 90.

I asume you are talking about the complete door bottom, not just the outer panel. The doors will fit (unless tou have "anti-burst" door locks, in which case you will need a hole for the key barrel) but the door restaint system is different. On the Ser III the stay is attached to the bulkhead...

Get some professional off road driving instruction. If they are any good, they will discuss planning ahead and judging what is sensible.

Look fine to me, but I'd wait for a second opinion!

You have loosened the clamps on the track rod haven't you? I don't think any of your advisers mentioned them.

No, Freelander 1 (since about 2000, there are lots of threads about it) only.

I'd agree, should just bolt straight on. I think tyres will be a lot more expensive though.

Have you checked the big "Elephants Trunk" tube running between the fan unit in the LH wing (assuming RHD) and the heater on the bulkhead. If that is adrift on either end you will never get a good air flow.

According to someone who has fitted them, putting 19" wheels on an early Td6 could result in vibration when stationary (don't ask me how) such as at traffic lights. He felt it was quite acceptable, but could see that some people spending that much on a luxury car may not, so he understood why...

Haven't got the figures with me, but that sounds about right, how fast will it go then. Probably better off working out the figures for a lower gear.

I don't think they are the same, the Defender door is flat, the Discovery one has a slight curve

Can't see the point either. As far as I can see they have lost headroom, lost visibility over the bonnet and gained?
