I fit a full system to a ex marine 90. Took about 6 hours, and cost £40 for parts. Parts for a rangie are easy to come by, I would go for a four bolt box.

I use the thumb trick, works every time.

I get my engine parts from here My link
Coils are in the accessories tap.

Yes, you can pay alot for coils. I run on gas and i stick with lucus stuff, apart from my mallory plug leads. Ive not had any problems.

Sorry to throw the cat amongst the pigeons so to speak, but aren't any air sprung vehicle that has been converted to coils illegal?
Removing the self levelling means that the headlights can not be adjusted for varying loads. I was under the impression that this was illegal! Any comments?
HA, keep your cat thats rubbish.

It`ll come, lots of WD40 and a good hammer.

Hi and welcome JayDeeV8
That is an earth cable which should be attached to the bonnet fixing bolts. The other end is attached to the back of the engine block.
I think that earth belongs on the back of the head, the one for the bonnet is on the uther side.

Nothing wrong with that, You may have to replace the springs in a few years as i found they sag a little.

I think there's a write-up from Les in the technical archive.
thanks. had a look in tech archive hes not done a write up on renewing seals, he just replaces the box.

Hello, has anyone referbed a steering box on a rrc as mines leaking like hell. I think its leaking from where the steering shaft is attached.

I personally think ABS is fantastic off road as you can stop all be it slowly, unlike non ABS which will just skid. I think engine braking is normally sufficient all though it is a little hi geared compared to a manual. But gentle on the brake keeps it under control.

All the same, just exept brakes. A Salsbury can be fitted you need to shorten your prop though. Personaly i would get a td5 4 pin diff axle.

Hi, where i live a brick is the choice of the local kids. But as you want to keep it in one peice, i would cut the rubber away and push it out from the inside.

Heres some pics of mine, First is on Salisbury Plain, second in a Portsmouth Car Park.
I drove tanks around Salisbury.

No they are Insas.

I had the same problem, after a rebore and complete rebuild. In the end I found it was flooding, and ended up controling the fuel by taking the fuel pump fuse out and in and out and in at the right time, until it fired. It took me about a week of killing batterys to get it fired mind. Yes you can get the dizzy 180 out with no1 at TDC but like someone has said if both valves are closed on no1 then its right. Oh nice job on the engine.

Ive got a 4" spring lift, and a 2" body. With 305/75/16 grizzly claws on deep eight spokes. I did have insa turbos special track on standard alloys, i needed to adjust the steering lock as they catch on the radius arms due to the standard offset wheels. They were fantastic in mud but not to good on rock. But good for what you pay for them. If you put 265 insas or bigger on you will need to cut your arches there is a good guide in the tech archive.
