i love the petrol engine the best, you dont have all the knocking noise and is much smoother, i know petrols are not good going down hills as they dont have the compression, but id rather the petrol, and they dont have the diesel smell, which now is classed as a possible carcinogen. but everyone...

yep that right, there is still many older vehicles around that may have asbestos in the friction material, i remember in australia it was phased out in 1999, and when i was at a automotive place doing work experience in 2005 some of the staff there would use an airline to blow all the dust out...

most likely need to sort out the servo unit, make sure the hose from the manifold to booster (servo) is not leaking, the master cylinder and all wheel cylinders may need to be striped down and honed out and put new rubber seals in, check the hose and booster operation and check all wheel...

i h i have a tacho like that, its a autotechnica brand and at night those blue led numbers can be quite bright and dazzling to your eyes, if you get one get one with red led numbers as its less brighter on your eyes at night. Tony.

looks like the rear chassis cross member has been replaced as there is a extra piece added about a foot from the rear, and you can tell as the welds dont look like from the factory, as for blasting some will use nut shell grit and also you could try soda blasting as soda does no harm to the...

been doing a bit of modding with the car eh. should call you the 'mod man', but theres nothing wrong with modding though, i see in america people are putting detroit and cummins engines in their 4x4's. it would be strange having a two stroke diesel in a landrover, now that would turn heads, i...

just had a look at your thread and you been on it for a couple of years now, i see the weather is not always the best there, id say your series 3 will stand out in the crowd, but she sure has the defender look to it, the parabolics should make the ride better, maybe you could get some sound...

i have been reading posts on pirate4x4.com and in america they modify everything, i have seen a thread about a bloke that bought a 70's international harvester scout and he is modding the hell out of it and he is chucking a 450-500 bhp straight 6 cummins diesel that is turbo charged. and when i...

sounds like a blown head gasket big time, but im not liking the description you gave, as my sisters holden astra blew the head for us to find out after i removed it that the water passages in the head were eroded back allowing water to enter the combustion spaces, so i see you say its a petrol...

im using an electronic oil pressure gauge, i had a mechanical one but didnt trust it as it leaked once, and the last i want is a broken oil gauge line.

a project can take time, i have heard of some people saying that they have spent 5 plus years on projects, and some have been high as 10 years, if you threw a lot of money at it, you would have the job done in a month or 2, i have owned mine for 11 years now and im still doing odd stuff, but its...

alright then, doesnt seem to be a problem then, as long as you dont have lots and lots of stuff on there running all at once then it should be fine as it'll only put back in what you take out basically, and of course charge the battery from when you started it.

oh ok very interesting never knew that, yeah its a good trick. Tony

im using a led light and no problems, but im using a can-bus compatible led light, it tricks stuff into thinking there's a incandescent bulb still there, will your old wiring if you do have old wiring take 75 amps, i want to up the size of alternator on mine but not keen as my wiring is as old...

i wouldn't worry about the warning light on, as if you have a oil pressure gauge then if that reads ok then thats good, dont bother with a light as they only tell you if the oil is at a very low pressure and by then its not looking good, but with a gauge you can sometimes tell if you are low on...

I sometimes use rubber grease, i use the red rubber grease by PBR. i think castrol makes it too, with the thermostat housing and other water fittings i use grease on the gaskets makes a water tight fit, a old man called mal, he owns an old ford zephr and an old rugby car, he told me the grease...

yeah they are mostly the same, the chassis would be a little stronger, but they were meant to be light weight so they could be airlifted around by helicopter, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_Rover_1/2_ton_Lightweight as rugbynut129 said the body panels were different, and the bulkhead as...

id place the push button elsewhere then

yeah thats the best, just do bits at a time, that way you'll have stuff to do, as i have said once before in the 11 years ive owned mine, im still doing stuff to it, over here many people have started up a craze of using clearance lights on the roof like trucks, i got the idea for running...

that centre horn push button is troublesome, better with a push button, that way you dont have to worry about the horn going off for no reason. Tony.
