  1. Hi, Nice install. Whereabouts did you get the intercooler? Depending on price maybe worth adding to our tdi LR. Much better than having both outlets at one end than one at each end which is most that I have seen. Was the Di nice to drive? Was thinking of putting a 2.5 NAD in our Series (another LR!) but may look into fitting a Di as it would make it easier for spares with similar spec engines and flog the NAD! Cheers.
  2. Found this on the net regarding discovery servo and defender mc on to a series. http://www.nickslandrover.co.uk/braking-sorted/ I have checked and the servo/mc on the disco 300tdi that i plan to use. It has two pipe outputs so i may not need to use the defender mc after all? I was also thinking of replacing the 'safety' valve on my early 110 setup with the discovery balance valve. Be interested what others have tried.
  3. Would the plain water have rusted up the insides of the cooling system? I imagine the water was quite brown when you drained it?
  4. I recently changed the timing belt on my discovery 200tdi engined landy prior to taking it off the road. (For other reasons than engine related). It a discovery engine but assume the setup principle is the same for defender. I may have not timed it correctly. It starts easily, runs and is abit smokey but gets abit warmer than before. I did have the radiator off for a while as i had a problem getting off the crankshaft gear. Despite this i think i may have set the pump off a abit. I didn’t move diesel pump pulley adjustment when fitting the new belt and the pin was a bit tight when was removed. (This was my first timing belt change). Could i make the necessary movement via the front inspection cover as i am sure the other gears are lined up correctly? Or should i just bite the bullet and remove the complete front cover and retime properly?
  5. Red 90. Can you tell me more about the Disco double diaphragm upgrade? I have a 300tdi disco that I could 'borrow' the servo from. Will the 110 master cylinder bolt straight on or will I need to keep the Disco M/C?
  6. Edit: Couldnt quote Orgasmic Farmer ref: Prototype Bearmach Servo for some reason! This sound very interesting. Was this to fit a 3 pipe master cylinder? We have a 2 pipe MC on our 110 and 90 but the 90 has a servo with a larger circumference. Is the larger servo for better braking?
  7. Interesting.... The ebay page suggests the beam can be adjusted. Flood or spot or combo. Is this the case? Is this white light or 'warm' ? Do you have yours fitted to the roof? Definitely something worth considering!
  8. I have the Flaremaster 2. I would love to have the vice mounted Sykes Pickavant but couldn't justify the cost. I am using Knifier pipe for my project and seems to work ok. I get mixed results due to the harder metal but it probably is also my skill as the flare gets better as I use it more. Hopefully they will seal as I haven't hooked it up yet. Worked great on Copper on another project though, possibly due to the softer metal.
  9. Great thread. Very timely. Is this the Patrols style you guys are talking about? I have access to a Nissan Patrol. 4litre petrol auto. Would this be a suitable donor for axles? Any ideas on what type the auto box is? I know in the US they do a lot of conversion and was thinking it could be a better match for a big diesel more than Rovers own 3/4 speed auto. Maybe able to source a conversion plate. Some Japanese makes use a swivel ball that is welded onto axle tube, unlike the bolt on version of Rovers. Anybody had issues with this? Cheers.
  10. I am in the process of replacing the brake pipes on our early 110. Is there any way to make the front brake junction smoother? The left hand feed needs a tight bend down and then up, before going forward down the chassis. See pic. Does the brake input need to have to be in the centre of the T union before its splits left and right? Would it matter if the input came from the side of the T? This was i can feed the left wheel from the centre of the T union and the right can then be connected to other outlet as in other pic, to make the brake pipe bends easier. Would there be an issue in doing this, would this cause a bias issue between wheels? Maybe I could T off earlier and then route around the bulkhead and run up the left chassis as an alternative, but not sure if i want to stray to far from standard setup. What are your thoughts?
  11. Has anyone mixed Hammerite paint together? I was looking to paint some of my accessories with a similar colour to the Dark Land Rover Green, to match my LR bodywork. Hammerite do a dark green but it is still a bit bright so was thinking I would try adding in some black to try and match it. Anyone tried this. I know I could get some dark green paint but have some of this in the shed and hopefully get some added protection.
  12. Order placed. Tried calling but just got answerphone. Pmd.
  13. Anyone know where i can get an XCESS Clutch Release Bearing from, or an alternative.? Their webshop is temporarily suspended. The beauty about this unit is that it is CNC machined from Solid Steel Billet rather than the plastic (stock) or aluminuim (HD) versions available in most places. Alternatively does anyone have one they can sell me? Thanks
