are the v8 brackets the same as the 200tdi brackets then for some reason i thought they were different and had to weld on new chassis mounts

Anyone know if theres an off the shelf engine mount that bolts to the tdi engine and fits the v8 chassis mounts rather than cutting the chassis mounts off. if not wheres the best place to get the tdi chassis mounts ? cheers Nick

diffs anand shafts are different along wivwith seals 10 and 24 spline axles yes you can swap them over complete but not the internal parts

anyone know the length of these engines i.e from the bacl of the block to the front pulley ?

cheers How do you tell if one you have laying around is any good without having to fit it 1st

doh the turbo 200tdi disco engine

Morning anyone know the part number for a 200tdi actuator and approx price cheers Nick

when i spoke to mr sva man yesterday he said that provided i wasnt in the motor industry and had loads of pics/receipts for what i'm building mine would be classed as a amateur build and providing i followed there guides and applied for a new chassis number there wouldnt be any probs cant see why you cant go down this route yer it means stripping it taking pics etc but amateur build seems the way to go but yer a 90 would be easier

Theres plenty of people stripping rrc etc on here and building hybrids etc recon you'll find plenty of photo's so you dont need to strip it too far

cheers will hopefully give it a go this weekend need to fit a RRC servo at the same time (series servo's are pants) Nick

sorry forgot that bit Non abs but will have a read thru anyway cheers

Anyone know if theres any particular order that you need to bleed the caliper (3 bleed nipples) do you do the top 1 last ? Cheers

ta thats all i needed to know (to start wiv) (heres the next question) once built to standard do i apply for new chassis number then book it in for the sva, hopefully pass then try and get insurance on a Q plate ?

yer but would a shortened chassis actually pass ? even if the rest of the mota meet the standards

Anyone know if shortening a chassis i.e the wheelbase would fail an sva test I know changing anything on the chassis needs an sva but would a shortened actually pass a test ?

You could also try http://www.auto-plas.co.uk/ Ask for Steve (his into offroading) and explain what you need

sc=2&category=520"]this one from Draper[/url]? It will give you about 50mm lift. 50mm aint much

i have 1 in my 88" cant fault it at all as they said above £400 is way too much new ones are only £350ish

mmm i've been looking for a q plate if i understood i correctly a q plate has already been looked at and wouldnt need to be seen again

Flat out the Disco will do 80 the 110 has seen 93 on the GPS. think i need to get my disco checked wiv a gps i can get the needle round to 110 but i recon its doing more like 90 average mpg is 28/30

Had a chat wiv mr sva man yesterday basically he said that you can replace any outrigger xmember like for like i.e rusty xmember can be replaced with a new one but it must be in the same place as the original. if you replace a rrc x member or outrigger with a 90/series outrigger or move it in any direction (i.e bobtail) then you will need a test if i understood it correctly a bobtail or hybrid will need to be re-registered on a Q plate with a new chassis number

looks exactly the same as my lt95 and O/D

think the hairy one (mr stripy) used canvas the poles are made from some sort of plastic and join together in the middle pm him if you need more info
