  1. I built a few racing motorbikes many years ago and used to buy my titanium fasteners from the states - much better prices than here. I even had a few large fasteners made up for suspension components and they still seemed to be working out cheaper than that set of head studs .....
  2. I bought a rebuild kit and it lasted the 30k miles until the vehicle went ... fitted it in situ, which was a bit fiddly but ok.
  3. Their site says the 300bhp ones are stroked 2.8's
  4. I don't have much to offer here I'm afraid - but the first thing everyone always seems to say is check the loom ? When oil reached my ECU is did odd things like that - and they seemed to increase in frequency the more oil there was. You can rule out the MAF by just disconnecting it - so it falls back to the ECU default setting.
  5. It says that thing locks the output shaft - how is it doing that ? Through locking the flange ?
  6. Surely that's a typo ? Even if they were custom made in titanium you can't see them being that price ?!?
  7. My error - I thought it was just about normal ratchets. I looked on my phone and on that the picture looked to be a normal open end and a ratchet - not an open end ratchet ... Sorry !!
  8. Thank you all for such a clear and comprehensive answer
  9. I have a set and use them a lot - I got the halfords professional ones on one of their deals. You're right in that they aren't the tool for brute force to crack a nut - but they definitely aren't a gimmick for me.
  10. Is the D2 diff the standard 24 spline Rover type diff ? i.e. Could I transplant one to my Defender ?
  11. City Link and DPD have been by far the best I've used.
  12. More elaborately we could all form a company - 'Diff Testers Anonymous' , buy a raft of Diffs, test them, claim the VAT back, and go bust.
  13. Do you not get collared for an import tax ?
  14. For the engineering though that represents very good value. But I'm perhaps in the same boat in that I could afford one - but couldn't afford to pay someone to fit it.
  15. Just looked on ebay for odyssey batteries - not a cheap option then .... http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=251582485873
  16. Perhaps the previous owner struggled with decision making ?
  17. Here is one I drew and posted a while ago ... Feedback, as I remember it, was that it was ok .... Though I did get one or two jokes about onions ..
  18. Some sort of roof light or transparent panel - i put some in my garage and wouldn't be without natural light now.
  19. Mine takes a similar distance to heat up.
