Worth Saving? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/land-rover-defender-90-td-project-spares-or-repairs-barn-find-export-/161667038001?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item25a41b3b31 Nothing to do with me, but might be worth looking at for someone?

Very high quality too. I bought a set for my 86", not cheap but you get what you pay for IMHO.

"Average looking" seems a fair description of the entire LR stable at the moment IMHO. Having said that the L405 is growing on me...

Wouldn't go amiss to post what make UJ's you are using. Let me guess...

Measure the distance between the floor & a fixed point such as the underside of the front bumper (assuming the bumper is standard) & post the height. Don't forget to include tyre size & rim diameter

In which case we need pictures! You know the rules

Nice

I'll ignore the possible jokes about a 24 inch caravan... IMHO at 1300 Kg you would be pushing the towing capabilities of a Freelander in good fettle. Given that yours has been bodged converted to two wheel drive I think you are asking for trouble. Sorry if that's not what you want to hear.

No. 1 injector Fridge? Mine did exactly the same.

Welding gear, 20Te press etc here if you need a lift with anything

My 4.2 supercharged is averaging 14 mpg.

Thanks for the pictures. Care to mention the "V8 tuning company"? PM me if you prefer. Did you actually run the supercharger? By the way I think I've heard your 110 (I work in Disley) I'm not a Diesel fan but it sounds awesome!

Thanks for all the information chaps. Ash.Witty do you have any more information on the TVR kit?

Wow, thanks very much G

Welcome to the L322 club. Your wallet will never be the same again

I have read with interest several threads about supercharging as it's something I want to do to my 4.6 110 but I don't know much about superchargers. Quite a few of the local "petrol heads" are driving modified Jap saloons with insanely huge turbos, even though these all seem to have variable boost they all have waste gates. My L322 is supercharged but it certainly doesn't have anything like a waste gate so what is governing the air pressure? Is it just a case of selecting the correct supercharger pulley size so it can't exceed the desired boost pressure at maximum RPM?

The rubber bush screws on to the lever but IIRC a new one doesn't have an internal thread. Don't know if they were ever bonded into the knob or not but I think they just relied on the lateral force exerted by the thread on the lever. If you can get the rubber bush off in one piece superglue it back into the knob & screw it back on.

Go for it, If you don't care about fuel consumption any RV8 will put a smile on your face compared to the Diesel (others will disagree ) If you were closer I'd offer you a drive in mine

The 4.6 does as you say have a longer stroke than the 3.9. Are the blocks the same? Depends on the age of the 3.9, IIRC 3.9 blocks from '95 onwards were cross bolted, earlier ones weren't, but yes you can use a manual gearbox with either (my 4.6 110 is a manual at the moment). As for tuning any Rover V8, forum member Fridge Freezer has been known to say it's like "polishing a turd", might sound harsh but he is correct, the RV8 is a very old design, yes you can improve it but it will cost you lots for not much improvement unless you are prepared to pay serious money. A 3.9 is putting out approx. 180 BHP, a 4.6 around 240 BHP, neither of which is great if you think about it. By comparison the (Jag derived) SC 4.2 in my L322 RR is allegedly around 400 BHP. Having said all that, don't discount fitting any RV8, they work very well in any Defender & always put a smile on my face

If you don't already have one lying around why limit yourself to a 3.9? Quite a few of us running 4.6 lumps in Defenders & it makes no difference to how easy / difficult it is to fit

Hi G, I will be looking for a box Sir, do you have one you are selling?

??? Doesn't link to a specific item.

Don't know about you but I wasn't aware of this: http://dvla.dft.gov.uk/160215/AOC-Video.mp4
