How often do you break one ?
I've ....... No, I'm not going to tempt fate :/
-
...and me. Although I also considered hiring a low loader to dump my RR in front of LR Ireland hq with a pleading note attached.
Worth a go ?

you being the new X-Eng
Si
Ooooo pray tell ?!

That was very well done. I need to get on with mine.
My thoughts too......

Kudos to land rover for doing it so well.
-
Fantastic !

Glorious isn't it ?
I dropped Lloyds an email to ask for a price on an adaptor to fit one to an R380.
They warned about the power of a tuned motor exceeding the capacity of the gearbox - but quoted £1200 plus vat.
I'm thinking about this because my Td5 is using water and if it turns out to be a cracked head - then I ought to consider one of these.
-
I know we've had videos posted before - but wow.
-
They are easy - simple in fact I think.
-
Would it require a stumpy R380 to fit the OM 606 in ? I'm guessing not as that chap fitted one into a series without altering the front bodywork....

Hi have a look at this link. He has fitted an OM606 to a series 3.
There is another thread by him on the same forum fitting an OM606 to a Rover P6 with a supercharger!
Lots of info in those threads - thank you. Searching has shown he's posted on a few forums with other info coming out.
What looks interesting was that he used a Musso bellhousing and a small adaptor to fit the 5 cylinder one to an R380 - and from reading elsewhere the 5 and 6 cylinder engines have the same bellhousing bolt pattern.

Oh bloody hell

Broken multimeter ?

Apologies for being a dope - but what's the string and tape method then ?
-
Sorry to digress - but Scott - your 90 is glorious !
-
Not particularly technical - but isn't it funny how you have funny days ....
Crappy news at work, so I finished early to do some work on the Landu and cheer myself up :
Picked up some blasting I'd had done with revealed much more damage than I'd expected. Somehow well and truly cocked up fitting a nursert in my crossmember and managed to spill brake fluid on my lips !?
Weird
-
I have a TDS and was wondering what to do with it - it's an old rope though so somewhat misshapen, which I think would make it a nightmare to try and splice .... Given that I haven't done it before.
My plan was to just tuck the end In the rope hole and use one of these nylon things to retain it.
-
He's effectively making a 'lasso' that is pulled tight round the drum ......
.....Does that not make it hard to spool it on ? As it'll be rotating around the drum ?
-
I think this is almost endemic to the breaker industry ? A quick scan of 2nd hand parts on eBay reveals loads of breakers wanting big money for parts.
-
I've got a locking wheel nut on mine. Do these not work ?
Mo
I presume it to stop a swing away wheel carrier being unbolted with the wheel locked on it ?
-
Good info on the first half of this video here ...
Mine are done now - I did a double crimp on each one as they suggest in the video.
-
That disclaimer is ridiculous - it's even worse than the Land Rover steering wheels they sell on eBay, which say 'not for off road use'.
-
I saw it on YouTube - 11mins in on this video ...

You'll want the holes too.
