Was this down te road from Leazes park, near the stadium? I saw one there last weekend whilst working in Newcastle
-
double post :/
There's a build thread in the members vehicle forum if you're interested btw.

My Series 3 is running a 3.9 Range Rover engine, it's not a hybrid though.
-
I was about to say, I have a 2.25 D engine you can have for a nominal fee for spares/to fit but then noticed your location.
-
I have to agree with the lack of seemingly available places around the Derby area (live just round the corner from Spondon myself). I shall watch this thread with interest.

I'd be interested in a Hoodie or T-Shirt

agh, double post.

My 1992 classic had heated washerjets, I miss those, the Disco doesn't have them. I wonder if they were fitted to the TD5 and if they could be retro fitted to the Disco.

Caught my eye whilst browsing the web, thought I'd share

Got a URL for the website?
The seatbelt mounts for the RRC seats are built into the seats themselves. My friends 95/96 Discovery has very different seat mountings to my 98 Disco. Mine being the same as my previous RRC and his being thinner.
The rears should be a straight swap though.

You can't.
Sell it and buy a 90 if you want a coil sprung land rover. Doing as you describe will not be legal.

About the front end. I really want the pulleys to be vee-pulleys, since Ive all vee belt ancillaries and built up brackets for all the ancillaries I want. I'd really not fancy nouting new ancillaries/pulleys to get it all working on seprentine. Esp. the york AC pump for OBA.
Does the water pump for serpentine front end rotate in the same direction as for a vee belt system. I.e. can I run the serpentine water pump in the same rotation as the engine and just make up a vee belt pulley for it.
The serp water pump operates in the oppisite direction to the earlier V-belt driven pump, hence the thread being handed differently on the viscous fan units pre/post serp.

Saw that at "T in the Park" thumping out some loud music in the middle of a campsite. Thought bits looked a little familiar but it was behind some fencing at the time.

My 1998 Disco V8 has a 4 bolt flange on the rear axle. I'm guessing this was changed at some point previous to my ownership, which is a little strange as, other than an LPG conversion, it was 100% original before I got my hands on it.
-
The old man currently has a 4.6 in his RRC (overfinch). This has a remapped hotwire system, X-bolted 4.6 block/serpentine (intermediate) front cover with dizzy. I'm not sure if the auto box has been upgraded but I'm fairly sure the diffs have not. It's behaved itself so far although the autobox is now getting a little tired.
Just thought those details might be of help
-
and its not just the self levelling either - the actual lense is very different between a standard filament light and a HID. beam pattern, focus and spread are all different on a HID.
As above, retro fit HID bulbs are not legal, you need an entire light unit designed for HID.
-
Yes they can, the old man did it a while ago for one of his. It took him a while but looked good when complete.

You say you have fuel, is it a good pressure?
-
Is it this time of the month again?

I understand your motives, however as someone who has had a member of joe public park up his car under my bedroom window whilst he went off on a dirty weekend (not mud) and expected me to stop any git from attacking his car when it woke me up, I disagree with the whole ethos of alarms and expecting someone else to stop the theft.
Besides which I have seen people happily deriving a car with the alarm in full voice etc.
As an owner of a Series 1 which is driven with no door tops or door locks I rely on large imovable and obvious locks and hidden switches.
Marc.
It was more for my benefit if I happen to be close by rather than rely on anyone else. Parking up at a pub or outside a mates for a few hours for example.

I need to replace the straps on my 300 gen V8 Disco LPG, do these look suitable, twin underslung tanks;
If not then can somone else suggest a suitable seller?
Cheers

I shall follow this thread with interest...
I have been pondering security for my soft top series 3 for a while now, A loud alarm triggered by doors and an imobiliser is on the cards. I also figured a large chain a shiney padlock through a wheel and over a chassis leg might deter somone. It lives in the garage at home, after i've removed the hood sticks. I also have an unmarked switch that kills the fuel pump and coil. Starting is via an unmarked push button rather than the ignigtion.
-
how are you getting on with the build? You should update your build thread
If it's any help my 3.9 is running on the standard series rad and a kenlowe fan which rarely kicks in during normal use, no oil cooling currently. This is a manual not an auto though.
-
I hate reading threads like this
Wish somone would really start to do something about this scum.
Also worth mentioning to keep an eye on ebay aswell as "for sale" sections, you never know!

Sorry this took so long to reply, basically the engine was in my Series 3, it drove about 20 miles under my ownership before being removed. (IanS actually drove it while I followed) It smoked a little but didn't seem to be making any untowards noises, pulled well and started good from cold.
It's a 2.25 late 5 bearing engine, it still has the alternator/starter/flywheel/manifolds fitted at the moment.
Having been sat outside for a little over a year I cannot attest to the condition of the engine inside but it's yours for a donation to this forum. (assuming it's still relevant and you cover all shipping costs).
Drop me a PM if you're interested
