    V8 into Series 3 - bulkhead Q

    Thanks everyone, I'm going to ask Mosside LandRover for a price - a bit too much welding for a novice like me :)

    Down on power- injector issue?

    Sounds more like pump timing to me - black smoke is due to overfuelling usually. Lack of power seems to confirm it?

    V8 into Series 3 - bulkhead Q

    Thanks for that very useful reply KillaJoules - I did try to thank you yesterday but my PC crashed during the 'send' and my reply was lost in the ether... bloody computers lol Anyway, thats really good info - I didn't realise that the 6cyl gearbox was mounted further back for instance - you...

    V8 into Series 3 - bulkhead Q

    Thats my understanding Blackburn. If they can fit a 6cyl panel as part of the resto then I should be sorted - IF its true that it gives enough clearance for a V8...

    Disco 1 2" lift blocks...

    Got a set of Allmakes (I think) 2" suspension lift blocks - bought 3 months ago but I've had a change of plans. Obviously as new condition, still boxed. I paid £75 IIRC, will take £60 + postage?

    V8 into Series 3 - bulkhead Q

    The force is strong with you, young ajb403 :fighting2: As you say, they're likely to be rocking horse poo-poo, but I understand that Ashtree or similar may be able to restore a 4 cyl bulkhead to 6 cyl spec, hence my interest and question.

    S2 front end on an S3 ?

    Thanks for that everyone. Mriceman, the 2A is my standby plan lol. Thats a lovely SW you have! As my 109 is a project needing some pretty major work I'm considering everything about it before starting the stripdown (hence my asking if 6 cylinder bulkheads will allow a V8 conversion without...

    S2 front end on an S3 ?

    Was it a change in the UK law though? This is where I'm getting confused, I thought it was simply US law that forced LRs hand, along with the need to give a wider spread of light, which the S2 was famously lacking.

    V8 into Series 3 - bulkhead Q

    The bulkhead in my 109 is fairly comprehensively shot, and with an eye to the future I was wondering whether it'd be better to fit a 6 cylinder bulkhead if I can find one - I understand that these have a deeper inset to allow for the longer engine which *may* suit a Rangie V8 conversion better...

    S2 front end on an S3 ?

    I've done a bit of googling but can't find anything definitive, so I thought I'd ask here. Would it be legal to fit a Series 2 front rad panel and lights onto an '82 Series III (along with S2 wings)? As far as I can tell the lights needs to be max 400mm max from the outer edge of the...

    Defender 2.5 petrol engine 17H, complete

    Nope, they're rocking horse poo poo at the moment :( Tdis are everywhere but I want to stick with petrol. No immediate rush for me - I'm doing a restoration of my 109 so the engine will be amongst the last assemblies to go back on. I reckon that'll be in 9-12 months time :rolleyes:

    Giving an old S3 army girl a new lease of life

    This is a great thread, enthralling! Just wondering - did you use the knotted wire wheel to clean up the rust throughout or did you use any chemical stripper as well? Just wondering as I have a 109 to rebuild shortly... :) Cheers

    Defender 2.5 petrol engine 17H, complete

    I'm looking for a good condition, running 17H 2.5 petrol engine to go into my 109. Needs to be complete with carb, manifolds, alternator, flywheel, pulleys etc Probably best to email me at psychoduck88 at hotmail dot com Cheers :)

    Engine number

    That would be a Series 2A 2.25 diesel, so yep it'd be the right one

    Discovery 2 ACE removal kit

    I took ACE off our D2 as it leaked pretty much from day 1. As I intended to put a 2" lift on it I did a sneaky anti-roll bar upgrade. The SLS and non SLS rear anti roll bars are different - the SLS one is 29mm and the non SLS one is 19mm IIRC, so even if you don't have SLS, fit the SLS antiroll...

    BF Goodrich A/T KO2?

    The BFG ATs are the defacto choice for serious overlanders because they are exceptionally enduring and versatile. I put a set on my previous D2 and they made the old girl almost unstoppable - only deep cloggy mud managed to overwhelm them. However, their tread appears to be made of a progressive...

    Disco 2 Bull Bars

    I tried putting a D1 bullbar onto my D2 a while back. The chassis rails are the same distance apart, that isn't the issue. The problem is that the D1 bumpers sit around 2-3 inches lower than D2 bumpers, so you'll need to fit some plates to adjust the height accordingly. Also, the length of the...

    Disco 2 Bull Bars

    It had +2" OME suspension and 265/76x16 BFG AT tyres, so it had presence :)
