Thanks for the help folks! So I will need to change ecu and bellhousing. I was planning on doing a conversion, and the bellhousing was the bit I was interseted in!

Hello chaps, Longtime no forum! I know this is a stupid question, but can you guys help. I have been trying to find out specs for gearboxes. I have established that the auto box is a 'zf4hp24'. This is common to several engines. Does the petrol and diesel have the same gearbox? are the...

I would advise looking at the thread that I started a while back, if it's a classic r/r you are interested in. Teflon gave an exhaustitive explanation of what to look for! Also, I'm still saving, and I shall indeed check for the loss of coolant, when I go and look for one. Head gaskets are a...

SO the 300/200Tdi is common between the defender and disco's, but the range rover has it's own engine (BMW 6 cylinder weasel)? The RRC had a common weasel engine to the efender of the time? Apologies, i'm very green! WHy was it a pain mr BoB? Surely there is acres of space under the bonnet...

Thanks chaps! I posted awhile ago regarding buying a classic range rover. THis is all useful information! Liked the idea of a range rover with a disco TDI engine, interesting idea, all of the bling, but a bit cheaper. Do they have the same engine and I'm being really niaeve? If they are...

Wow! Was this poll set up to put off people interested in joining the Land Rover fold? I seem to believe that it would just appear to be the free lander. My old man did a course in motorway vehicle recovery for his job, the recovery trainer called them FreeLoaders because the recovery...

I'm guessing that the P38 is the one after a classic range rover, the sort of 'N'-reg ones. A little rounder, and a lot more electrickery? They look bloody complicated inside!

So, Engine good! Gearbox bad. I don't particularly want to fanny around with changing over too much stuff straight off the bat. Air springs sound like a great idea, but poorly executed/maintained. Mr Teflon, where might one buy a book with all of these technicolour variations/gearbox/engine...

Oh and your engine looks SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! I love having engines in the building frame, and when they are all clean and shiny! I'm helping the 'rental swap his 1.6 turbo-weasel and his Skoda 1.9 weasel. The 1.6 is going to be a spare for his T25 camper (and has just come out of it)...

Cool, thanks for that! More questions. My family friends are all in the motor trade (either 'sickles, cars, vans, lorries, mobile cranes or tractors), and most folk have a lot of respect for the venerable Rover V8. Are there differences (other than injection/carbeetooters) between uses? i.e...

Oh and mileage! How many miles can I expect to get out of an engine. Usually, its more important to look out for looked after cars, same for RR? When are the big engine services due? I forgot these earlier:doh:

WOW! Thanks for that all really useful info! I can weld, so I should be ok with most of that. I was planning on spending between 1.5 to 2 grand. So the premium is buying honest, and the best I can, rather than a tarted up one. I'll also take the info on the LPG. I'll buy pre-converted...

Hello, I am new to the forum and to range/land rovers in general. I have always wanted a 4x4, and looking around a classic range rover answered several criteria for me! A classic car, a 4x4 and a little bit of a project. From what I have learnt so far, I need to look for corrosion in the...
