Not completely related to the topic, but here was a bit of a fun race we had earlier in the year. There is a silver i6 FL2 in the race.

Either some good AT tyres, such as 3 peak rated ones or if snow/ice is more a concern, some dedicated winter tyres. The FL2 should be very good the snow.

Doubtful, not seen many mods like this for other LR models either. Lift kit is just spacers above the struts, so doesn't impact travel or ride and easy to reverse/remove. Off road they lack ground clearance, but are able to keep the wheels spinning thanks to the traction control, so generally...

Point? Well a p38 will never "lock" by its very name a viscous coupling is a limited slip diff, so can not offer the same constant 50:50 power split a locked LT230 does. The power split will vary always allowing the front and rear props to rotate at different speeds. This has advantages that...

Personally I think ATB's take a lot of beating on UK terrain, where they aren't so good is if you have a wheel in the air, although left foot braking will help. So if you do Moab style rock crawling, full lockers can be a good option. As they will turn all 4 wheels equally and require no slip at...

This is an incorrect assumption. Lots of info online on how diffs work, probably worth your time searching and understanding how they function. Lots of practical examples on YouTube too. However the centre diff allows full time 4wd, so when traction is equal you will get power to all 4 wheels...

P38 has no centre locking diff, it is a viscous unit, so never fully locks. Most p38's have either 2 wheel or 4 wheel traction control, so they should behave quite differently, as will an L322.

Standard to what though? Lots of springs fitted over the years and different body/engine configs will impact ride height. Shocks generally don't impact ride height, although Gas shocks (ones that extend on their own) will have a slight upwards pressure and make a vehicle sit slightly higher...

Di conversion is the most pointless swap ever IMO. It is just a lazy mans conversion as it requires almost no effort to keep the Turbo. Direct Injection is less refined than indirect. A 2.5NAD should make 67hp. We also know a turbocharged NAD aka 19j makes 89bhp. Meaning as a minimum a non...

No subframes on a Tdi.... do you mean something else?

You do make a declaration, either online or by signing a bit of paper. You do this each year for the MoT exemption as part of the Road Tax process. You are also signing to say the vehicle is of the correct classification, aka Historic status. Maybe be a little more observant next time you do...

They aren't correct at all, they are taking one very simplistic view and toting it as the definitive answer..... taking no account of any technical aspect of a vehicle or how they are assembled.

You are still COMPLETELY missing the point..... You are NOT swapping on a new chassis with a different ID. You are repairing your old EXISTING chassis.... an RRC chassis does not have the correct rear cross member or any of the out riggers. All of these bits will remain as original parts, with...

We had 17" rims, but recently switched to 16", running 205/80R16's, which work really well. I'd guess you might get away with 225/65R17.... https://tyresdirectuk.co.uk/t/tyres?page=2&per_page=&search%5Btyre_diameter%5D%5B%5D=17&search%5Btyre_profile%5D%5B%5D=65&search%5Btyre_width%5D%5B%5D=225

Most modern cars are not designed to fit things like light bars, good luck physically fitting it. The wiring is mostly simple for the lightbar, if you want to wire it into the mainbeam, you'll need to start pulling wires and maybe taking things apart. A wiring diagram will help. Do remember...

Aux mainbeam lights are not illegal, but they should have a way of disabling them in theory....

Utter nonsense I'm afraid. It is not illegal to modify a vehicle. Do at least put some effort into reading the .gov pages I linked before posting utter drivel.

What 2.2? A Puma?

I don't think it is all that modder beware or buyer. As stated above, you have to make the self declaration every year, for Historic status and MoT exemption. When you buy a car, VED is non transferrable, so you will have to make those declarations there and then to use it on the road. so the...

Where is your data that the 2.25 is cleaner..... :vb-poke-with-stick: 😂
