Schrader valves are fine to prove the individual air bags are not leaking. All you do is unplug each air line to the individual airbag, which is pretty easy. Then attach the vale and use any air-compressor to inflate one at a time. If they stay inflated, then the bags and lines to them are fine...

It can get pricey.... If you need new height sensors or have any wiring issues. Also if you need to rebuild the valve block, not everyone will want to do this themselves. And some places may charge you an arm and a leg.

Yes insurance for mods. Shouldn't be an issue for the headlights, as that would have been for Type Approval. And won't be rechecked for anything you do with the vehicle. And if insured as a modification, all good. Older vehicles also don't have anyway to adjust the headlights apart from at the...

Sadly the EAS can be a pita. And while a few claim they can be reliable, they are by far the very small minority.... Anything you do to fix them, they can still go wrong. In some ways the suspension is not that complex, but if you need to sort lots of bits, it is expensive. As for coils, it...

This may not be the best route, depends how much money, time and did I say money.... the op wants to spend. Rust is often nowhere near as bad as people make out, far to many drama Queens. Just a clean up and some treatment products may well keep it in check for another 10 years+ Not saying a...

FL1 is a completely different vehicle, engine and gearbox though. The KV6 (as nice as they are) only makes 177bhp, so less power than even the SD4 and 53+bhp down on the 3.2 under discussion. So, I'm not sure what relevance it has in this discussion? Thanks for the brochure links. They say; 8.4...

No, read the rest of what I put. Hence asking if anyone had ever raced the two. You often find a lot of interesting things on Youtube. Although I can't see much for this. A bit more searching has also said 8.4 for the 3.2 and 8.9 for the SD4, but no idea where the stats are from. One USA site...

Stats online say 8.5 vs 8.7 sec to 60mph in favour of the 3.2 However, most online stats are not great as they mix up 0-60mph and 0-62mph. It also depends on the shift points too, meaning one vehicle might need an extra gear change, which could make the vehicles look closer than they really...

All much of a muchness really. Upgrade the intercooler if getting a remap. It’ll make it even more worthwhile.

Safety feature? Surely not. There are actual manual cars that have no ability to kickdown at all. There can be no hazard or danger by replicating this with an auto when in a specific mode.

You can’t use full throttle easily if this is the case. Autos don’t need full throttle to lockdown. They are all electronic on the pedal position.

Had a go in an FL2 today. Went better than I thought it would. Mostly the autobox isn't too annoying, but it has a terrible terrible trait (as so many autos do). When you move the stick to the left and activate the manual mode, it isn't manual..... is still f'ing kicks down. So so so so so so...

What Land Rover do you have? 7.50 x 16, at least a proper one, is already very narrow and tall. Next size down is 7.00 x 16, then 6.50 x 16, 6.00 x 16 But very very little choice in these sizes these days. The narrower you go, the shorter the tyre will be too. A 205 x 16 or 205/80R16 should...

Aside from the swap, RV8's often wear the cam and lifters. worth swapping these, or even going for a slightly bigger cam. The RV8 is no powerhouse, but 200hp should be fairly doable with minimal mods. For the exhausts, if you can fabricate, some long tube style headers would work wonders, as...

Is there such a thing as a rear DLR? Certainly not on a 1994 Land Rover... do you just mean the rear lights?

So, offset is more complex than that. ET is the distance from the rims centre line that the mounting flange is. So a different width rim will have a different off set. e.g. a 16 x 6.5" rim with say ET00 offset would be equal dish on both sides of the rim (3.5" in this case). But if you had a...

The answer is probably yes... but it does depend on what you are wanting to achieve and why you want such deep off set rims. Stock rims are 6.5" and +33ET offset. So a 30mm Spacer would make it like an +03ET rim. -35ET is massively more offset. In fact if it is a 7" wide rim, -35mm off set...

The TD5 does indeed have an ECU. But to be fair, most vehicles have for the best part of 40+ years. Even some 300Tdi’s and the V8’s had ECU’s way before the Td5. I really wouldn’t let this put you off. All you need is a diagnostic tool in your toolbox. All the oily bits work mostly the same...

lol, you might have to wait like everyone else... ;)

Ok it won’t strain the engine as such. My brother has a 1989 Ninety. It was a 2.5TD, now sporting a 200Tdi with some tweaks. He originally had the 1.4 in and much like you, is screamed at higher speeds. But it would do more like 70mph. He now has a 1.2 from a 200Tdi Disco but retained his...
