  1. I did this on a D3, not very conclusive, then I learnt you need to fill the tank to near full to remove the air as it will significantly reduce the chemical reaction. CO2 will turn it from blue to yellow but air/oxygen will turn it back to blue. It can be reused.
  2. Indeed I had one for 5 years. But my signature is no longer showing. Brilliant car but very very flawed, thought less than the Diesel version.
  3. At least V8s are readily available unlike in D3s.
  4. When I used to do more regular off road events you could always find at least one coiler that still had them fitted. They were the ones making a horrible screeching noise from the trapped stones. That must be good for the disks.
  5. Doesn't say Series 1 but as 86" dash is similar to Series 2 it may well fit as well? It has been said on here before, if sold professionally then they need to ensure quality for safety and liability so it will always be much more expensive.
  6. I just looked on the Web and most answers came from boat owners. VDU tachos for connection in this format had a calibration system that needs to be set. Maybe a table of pulley sizes to look at or maths to be done as this decides the rpm of the alternator unlike ignition that is always tied to the engine.
  7. I have a tacho adapter fitted, not perfect (it is not accurate at low revs) but that may be the EDIS/ Megajoolt not your kit. It saved me buying new and enabled me to match old speedo and tacho so I'm happy.
  8. Only joshing you, if I talk about another country I am sure there is loads I can be teased for. It was just too easy. I don't know the system you have, what I saw on military vehicles was the same as all the above you mention so I could be miles off. If I am then feel free to roast me.
  9. Except in battle they don't use lights at all! Kind of dangerous. The twist and remove system (military might be a bit different) was on British cars as standard for 7 inch headlights, when we still made our own cars. Second sarcastic comment, what's a Royal Army! We have the British Army but the only Royal ones are the nobs in Buck Palace who are pretend heads not actual leaders.
  10. Plus one for Think, great company really helpful. I has cost them more in their time than I have spent with them in parts bought. They are in the West London suburbs and have been helpful for about 30 years on and off for me.
  11. Hi, All the important dimensions are in the factory Series 1 workshop manual. Any others you should be able to get from your existing chassis I would have thought. Someone is bound to say 1/2 an inch over the engine is factory tolerances!
  12. Blimy just looked at the S50 information online, there's a lot to read.
  13. Looks like OAT to me.. I was told there is only 2 colours for coolants. What is standard then.
  14. Nice solution, better than loose diodes wired in. My tacho (converted to digital) on Megajolt is a little vague at idle but on EDIS output was even worse, this would be better had I stuck to analogue.
  15. Yes I would have that plus a receipt and logbook.
  16. I need to change the cat on my car and hoped to be able to sell the old one. Not a hope plod has told all the scrap yards not to accept them. Eventhough I can prove legitimacy it is no go.
  17. Mind someone doesn't take a fancy to a stew! Sorry not clever but hard to resist.
  18. There is more to lane recovery post use than just numbers, driving style and Tyre size. A lot is down to the soil etc. I think I have said this before but during the European Jeepers Jamboree hundreds of Jeeps with very aggressive tyres drove lanes aggressively. The whole place was a quagmire, with miles of mud on the roads. A year later it returned to the same lanes, most you couldn't tell they had been driven. The French were amazingly tolerant (they have a history of supporting motorsport) even a household at the end of one lane did not bat an eyelid at all the motors going past all day and helped us out when we had an issue.
  19. Indeed, when it gets a bit warmer, -3 this morning, I will check.
  20. Like watching this guy. Re the demo of the effect of lateral play in the CV I have no play as the CV was shimmed out to the stub axle. Still worth investigating though. Did you notice the disconcerting amount of movement of the LR on the lift whenever he used the torque wrench! I would be pooping it but I guess he is used to it.
  21. No because it was shimmed internally to remove the movement, in theory. Truth is it could still be that or it could be too much restriction inside. My guess is a combination of things. Remember the other side with the recessed shaft did not rub at all. I think the way forward is to choose one style of location, either bushes and no circlips ala RRC OR no bush and location by circlips ala 110 NOT both!
  22. Hi happy new year, not all is good with using 110 CVs and stubs with RRC hubs and swivels. It also transpires that the RRC hub is about 10mm narrower than the 110 hub so the CV outer circlip does not touch the drive member. This is not related to wide or narrow bearings and drive members.
  23. Wishing you the best outcome possible, there is good support available, make sure you get what you need.
