Hi all,
I've just come about a 3.9 that has been stood for around two years.
Before it was taken out it was in good order and had all fluids drained.
Would you risk putting some oil in the sump and some ease it down the bores and turning it over by hand or would you strip it and have a look?
Cheers,
Mick.
Guy I bought my CCV motor from mentioned that a lot of the lads were fitting them instead of the usual transmission brake, he said they were available on some R380 box's but at the time I didn't think to ask more than that.
As per tiltle please chaps,
Can anybody give me a link to where I can download a copy of the Blue Book please?
Searched the MSA site and google but can't find the book itself.
Mick.
True but once you've driven one you won't care!
Sell the wife / partner, kids, budgie or your spare body parts if you have to.
You could even walk 4 days a week (perish the thought)
Ehm,
Gaz you may have a point but why didn't you post the facts in your first post?
Most of us are sad but we don't sit here looking at trucks and checking them with the DVLA.
Anderzander,
Looks like 1" box frame, a base and some vinyl, I've never bought anything from Britpart but surely they can't get that wrong.
I can't do the upholstery but if you want I could weld up the frames, will be bloody heavy but I can guarantee they will not bend!
Gordon,
I'm guessing you have a clip on ammeter capable of measuring DC, have you done the obvious and measured the battery drain with everything turned off?
Mick.
Yes please Sir (unless it's in your build thread which I will read tomorrow.)
Edit: Today
No wonder the wife hates Land Rovers (swap her for an oil filter, filters brand new and I'll pay postage)
Hi all,
Looking at buying a second truck, I'm missing my V8 (TD5 is good but not that good).
I've got my eye on a cheap 90 fitted with a N.A. 2.5, my question is do I need to mod the chassis to drop a V8 in or all they all the same?
Sorry if it's a stupid question but I've only modified RRC's before.
Thanks,
Mick.
2000 110 TD5, 38 year old driver' no convictions but 6 points with 4 years NCB...
Just short of £1000 fully comp (and yes I did ring around)
Apparently BB3 is a high risk area but come on, it's a bloody Land Rover not a Porche!
Edit: hadn't read the above link, bang goes young lads buying LR's because they are cheap to ensure,
