    Sitec's Cummins powered 101!

    Was watching a 6BT on ebay as our Isuzu lump needs replacing, don't think we have the time or energy to put a 6BT in the hole though! :eek: The search continues for a measley 3.1TDI...

    Lets hear ya!

    Not been here in a long time, but now there is a 101 section... Here's mine :D It's currently running a 2.8TDI Isuzu lump retaining the LT95 gearbox, so the winch works too. The engine has just dropped from 400psi to 125psi on cylinder 1 though so it is due to be upgraded to the 3.1 Isuzu...

    2.8 Daihatsu or Isuzu

    We run a 2.8 Isuzu in the 101. You have to remember they came in a low and a high power version ;) Ours is the higher power version and while it won't set the world on fire, it has plenty of torque and is returning 25+ mpg in the 101. We have nearly finished raising our gearing so it should be...

    Looking to buy or borrow...

    Just incase anyone was interested, we attempted to remove the diff from the spare axle without a spreader and it was a no go. Time to get making something.

    Looking to buy or borrow...

    Thanks for the advice everyone, we're going to try it on the spare axle we have and if it isn't too bad crack on with the 101. Can't wait to have it sorted, with the axles, transfer rations and overdrive in 50mph should be around 2200rpm! Currently it's a bit noisy sat at 60...

    We've heard you can too, but then the tool exists for a reason and every internet guide shows the case being spread. We don't want to get one axle complete to find the second axle won't play ball without a spreader!

    Looking to buy or borrow...

    ...a salisbury axle case spreader tool. Can't seem to find these anywhere! We need to swap the ring and pinion in the 101's axles as the final stage of the diesel conversion. If anybody has one available to buy or to borrow it would be hugely appreciated!

    Unsprung weight - does it matter much?

    You won't really notice the difference in a landy, but when you get to push bikes, motorbikes, sports cars etc you can really notice the difference.

    Lowering ride height on 90/110 chassis

    Disco 2 on track!

    I'm more of an aircooled guy, but having had a Mk4 and Mk5 Golf I appreciate they're nice cars :)

    Disco 2 on track!

    TD5 with a JE Engineering stage 1 remap :) Maybe 15/20 years ago. I've been into VW's far longer than I have Land Rovers. I take the 101 to three or four shows a year, the dubbers all love it ;)

    Snorkel. Are you backwards?

    After jamming branches down it greenlaning, it was backwards from then on!

    Disco 2 on track!

    Corners were the place to make up time. JE Engineering stage 1 map is 170BHP and 276ft/lb :D

    Disco 2 on track!

    In fairness to the old girl, she was pulling up to 4000rpm in 4th gear (not sure of the exact speed) in places. Cornering was surprising, tip the nose in, hit the loud pedal and it would just grip! Only on the left corner to go up the hill did it understeer.

    Errrm, standard Discovery 2, standard wheels, standard tyres, standard brakes, standard suspension and a stage 1 remap? :lol:

    Disco 2 on track!

    Yep, ACE is superb! Was good for the whole weekend actually, towed a car to the track with it, slept in it, raced it and cruised home wonderfully :)

    Disco 2 on track!

    Not too shabby for a big old beast, such a great feeling passing GTi's :D The white BMW was behind me from the start, he got passed because someone else had spun in front just off camera :( Gapped him through every corner but he pulled back in on the straights :o Land Rover Discovery at Apex...

    My 101" FC.

    Also... are they still 9.00x16 tyres? They look a lot taller than our Petlas'.
