Les that would be good slightly smaller text with a defender driving through it, or you could just rip off our forum here in oz and have a line of sillohetted rovers from ser 1 to todays things (electricphobic) have a look at our banner at http://www.aulro.com/afvb/ it might give you some ideas.

G'day guys are you still planning on producing items to buy? Is there a set timetable (so there is something to aim for) I would love a beanie as I have never had a baseball hat fit my big head. And a hoody would have been good (grumble grumble) but a fleece would be good i sposse do you do extra marquee size for the slim amongst us ??? And when you have it sorted how much shipping to Perth ??? Cheers chaps.

Gday there mark, I reckon the length of the gearbox is the issue well the mounts leastways. The gearbox on the TD5 was differently mounted to the 300tdi as the bell housing was shorter. on the new one i would be looking at the bulkhead gearbox tunnel to see how it adds up and would it allow for the bellhousing of the 300tdi? the new dash having aircon i thought it would be a major boon what you not using that for ?? You could always ship it to me in Western Australia lol good luck mate regards Andy Mark just re-read your post, if you are looking at dumping the old chassis you will need to adjust the mounts for the engine/gearbox/transfer case what i would do is hang onto the 300tdi gearbox tunnel on the original bulkhead -if your bulkhead has no corrosion i would waxoil the hell out of it and keep that as it would be one less adjustment...for more info i think you may want to have a yarn to the guys on the australian land rovers owners forum as many of our guys have looked at mods over a period and some of the guys may well be able to see you right mate

I would love to go but the fuel cost would be rather high i am guessing And i have my bulkhead to fit.

Andrew i would be of the mind set to drop the gaer oil for fresh and see what you have after that. We have the that aussie oil enricher over here in Australia (west) it leaves a residual film on the gears (b/goxes, transfer cases, difs) so that the gears are always primed with oil. If you have any drama's getting the stuff the other guys have recommenede give me a hoy i'll give you the details of the stuff we have here. Regards.

Jason my mate in Canada- a truckie, suggested to me an arrangement that uses the set studs and comes up the passenger seat, i could look into it if you have any interest regards andy

Gday mark, Do you ship to Australia, waffle boards,i have a 130 deefer what would i need dya reckon? nice looking stock you have by the way, i used to get me beef and lamb 4 miles up the road from the restaurant in the u.k. i was head chef of, happy beef grown and killed on the land hung on the bone for four weeks i would take the pepsi challenge with a piece of rump against a bit of vac-pac fillet sirloin etc, how much yeild would you get out of one of those rubies compared to a hereford ? regards andy
