This all depends what you want really. There are also lots of factors at play here. 1. Are you sure it really is a 1.6? Many may have been changed long ago. 2. Where does your gearbox come from? Early LT-77's have shorter gearing than latter ones or Disco LT-77's or R380s. I say this, as an...

Can you get the bits to repair the microswitches? I know someone used to offer a repair service, can't find their website now, so maybe no longer exist. I tried contacting them a number of years ago, but couldn't make head nor tail of how to go about purchasing from them.

Its a 1999 on a T plate. Log book says HSE, but it has the Thor engine (4.6) and 4 wheel traction control. I've got a letter from Land Rover explaining how it was upgraded by the Special Vehicles team to Vogue SE spec and badging. On this basis, I guess it is right at the cross over point for...

Could be the case. So last time I had an issue I was away on holiday. Parked up in the evening at the hotel and key worked fine. Next morning it didn’t work! Fortunately had the 2nd key with me. A number of weeks later when it was nice and dry out. I entered the EKA with the non working key and...

Just to clarify. Enter the EkA with the key not the Nanocom. That’s what has worked for me.

Maybe, although if you have to ask.... Exhausts are not difficult, but can end up being a PITA, depends how rusted and how easy them come apart. Be warned, if one bit is gone, the rest may follow. Depends, how much do you want to spend? Again, depends. It'll cost ya. But that might be worth...

Maybe. All I can say is, entering the EKA has worked maybe a dozen times vs 0 for any other method I've been told about.

When my p38 looses sync with the keys, they will not re-sync unless I entered the EKA with the individual key. I've tried other ways people suggest to no avail. Only issue is, unless it is dry out, it is normally impossible enter the EKA with the key. Using the Nanocom doesn't sync the key...

Front axle is probably standard and original unless there was call for it to be changed. All the front axles look mostly the same and relatively few changes over the years.

Are the rims hub or wheel centric? I.e. how do they centre on the hub? Most alloy wheels are hub centric, hence the need for a matching centre bore. As in an alloy is centred and located on the hub and wheel nuts simply hold the wheel in place. Many steel rims have a larger centre bore, at...

why would it be dangerous?

99.99% of the time brakes don't really squeal as such. The noise is actually a very fast vibration of the back of the pad on the piston of the caliper. As you put heat into the brakes, things will expand, so it may vary when it happens, also may vary at different speeds or amount of braking...

It'll be the displacement, V5 really doesn't care or list the make of an engine or if it has turbos or not. Just displacement and the engine number. The the Izusu is 2.8 litres instead of the factory 2.5 litres, it'll be easy to spot if its been changed or not.

3D model looks cool. As for the gearbox, that is probably a good thing. It looks to have the Defender gear selector and not a Disco one and the seat box is orange, so likely a replacement. Meaning you have the correct seatbox and transmission tunnel for an R380. You might need to check which...

You need to read the guidance online and decide for yourself, however there is nothing written or stated that it must be 100% original. There are also 2 sides to this: - MoT exempt - Historic vehicle for £0/zero rate road tax They have slightly different regs and guidelines. Read them both...

"I may be talking utter bollox" - indeed yes. ;)

Ok, didn't know it was clickable. Not sure where it gets the size from, but I've been on lots of American forums and it is a common theme that 35's are less than 35". I'd suggest they would be the same height as the other tyre you are looking at, which would concur with the BFG site. As for...

What I find amazing is, how could this be a surprise? Did you never even glance at the vehicle as you walked towards it? Worn tyres would be hugely obvious, let alone ones as you describe.

Benefits would be the same as on ANY other engine. The Land Rover one doesn't confirm to different laws of physics. That said, any gains will be minimal as the engine makes so little power anyway. As for noise, difficult to tell. Its not as if the engine is quiet and refined anyhow. And plenty...

No you don't, that isn't how engines work and defiantly not a 4 stroke diesel.
