    Which type of sound deadening insulation is best

    I want to sound deaden/ insulate my series land rover doors, under bonnet, gearbox tunnel, etc, etc. What type is best? Woven fibres, rubberised foam, rubber matting, other? Want to significantly reduce noise and dont want something that holds the water. Cheers.

    200tdi dimension for a frame.

    Its just about the same size as the original series diesel engine apart from the timing housing at the front.

    Series 11a with 2.5 diesel

    Is it a 200tdi your fitting? You can use the 2.5 bell housing with a series 3 clutch if so. You need to counterbore 4 lower holes to accept new bolts through the bell housing to the engine block. All is explaned on the "200Di" diesel conversion for Series Land Rovers - by Glencoyne 4x4...

    Getting the fuel system right on a 200tdi conversion

    Have you got the feed and return the wrong way round? Embarrasing to admit, but when I did my conversion I had these round the wrong way. The engine fired up and idled reved up but was starved of fuel!!! Just a thought:confused:

    2.25D to 200tdi - keep the turbo or not?

    I've kept the original 200 tdi manifold, made a flange to mate up with it and custom welded exhaust to marry up with the orignal exhaust halfway down the down pipe.

    2.25D to 200tdi - keep the turbo or not?

    I've gone for the DI installation. I'm not looking looking for great acceleration and speed, just want to maintain speed up hills and with head winds! Also, the engine and drives should last longer (or so I hear). Thanks for your input though :)

    Sections of old chassis - any use to anyone?

    Where are you located? I could do with the rear cross member up and including the rear spring hangars. Also got some rot under the hole of the mid crossmember coming through. Ta.

    2.25D to 200tdi - keep the turbo or not?

    I have the 3" wide brakes/6 cylinder axle on the front and 11" dia brakes/Salisbury axle on the rear, so stopping is not a problem. Also, got overdrive fitted already. Will/do I need 111 bhp? Don't really want to go fast. Just want a bit more acceleration and when I start at the bottom of a...

    2.25D to 200tdi - keep the turbo or not?

    I have a 2.25 diesel and have aquired a 200tdi with all ancillaries. I know it's more or less a straight replacement and is easier with the turbo off. That aside, should I keep it or not? I've heard that the turbo version could rip through the series gearbox and prop shafts and a non turbo is...

    Won't go into gear when hot.

    Slow response to this.......sorry. I found a way to get over the problem.......still not sure of the cause though. With the engine running if I select reverse, then take it out of reverse and FIRMLY pull the gear leaver rearwards and to the left as I move it into the neutral position, it...

    Safe Seat Belts

    Thanks for the responses. Still none the wiser with seat belts for inward facing seats! If I fit forward facing seats, I'll take the seating capacity down to 5. I'd like to retain the 7 seats if possible. At a minimum, I need 6 seats. Has anyone fitted a rear facing bench seat (3 seats)...

    2.25 diesel on veg oil

    I've ran my 2.25 diesel on 80% used veg cold filtered to 1 micron and 20% diesel since November 13. Probably done 1500 miles.........all good so far. I also used to run a Disco 2 on 80% Biodiesel and 20% diesel. No harm to either vehicles. Perhaps I've just been lucky!

    Safe Seat Belts

    I have an 882 with bench seats in the back and no seat belts. I want to make travelling in the seats a bit safer. What seat belts are best? Can I install 3 point harnesses, or even the ralley type 4/5 point harnesses and where/how should they be mounted? Thanks for any advice.
