longlandy

Its a auto which mucks up engine breaking hence when conditions are a bit funny I have it in tiptronic. The problem with ALL 4wds in bad weather is the basic fact because it pulls away ok the drivers think it will steer and brake ok as well then accidents happen

Ill second that my rs6 is awesome and SAFE even with the missus and her lead right foot on corners

Yeah whats wrong with high powered rwd cars that have a strong cam that swap ends in the dry if your not carefull

Id go 130 always have good resale and demand is stronger and supply. Search a chap on here and pirate called oilworker he has a immaculate 130 equipped with tibus portal axles .I reckon something along those lines could be desirable

I dont even own a 4x4 other than the audi, Im just a freak who goes on landrover forums and buys stuff You have bored me badly and I dont want a conversation with you in somebody elses thread, actually why dont you start a poll on how many people own a set of snow tyres for their sports/performance cars

Its not me who replacing a car, but if you want to pay I ll have some for my cars please, for the little bit of snow we have Actually kent suffers from much higher snow fall than its neighbours for some reason.

We dont get enough snow to justify rims and tyres for snow 4days a year

My Audi rs6 is good in snow ,fast comfortable and when driven sensibly does better mpg than my zuk

The axles themselves were not being critisied, It was the brackets someone had made for 3 point linkages that were dangerous and looked like you could pull them off with a pair of molegrips Ive broken lc80 pinion and ring gears but never hurt the cvs for some reason. Toyota diff units in rover casings is more common conversion than you would think, but im inclined to disagree with you saying that lc axles compare to 101 salisburys

Heres a old pick of a cummins6bt I put in a 6x6 I made. The engine has no intercooler at this stage as I just wanted to get it going to test the drivetrain etc

durite do proper solid state split and multiple charge systems and a intelligent split charger that auto senses voltage instead of braking into the loom for a trigger and therefore the secondary batteries are only charged when the alternator is a full power instead of latching as soon as the charge light is out.

My 90 has advanced a bit,but I missed the delivery cut off date for the cds , and the shock manufacturer has shut for xmas before I could collect Only thing that concerns me with using the zuk is thats its a soft top waiting to be ripped.

Sorry to pull up this thread ,but it isnt that old. A cummins 6bt onto a zf 5 42 is the perfect match, done loads of them pulls like £$$£ dead reliable and the same consumption as a tdi. There is some pics of mine and a irish chaps conversions on landrover addict forum.

how difficult is the route, the good lady wants to try laning for the first time?

A series 2a LWB in bronze green is the coolest landy of all.

I reckon my thoughts dont count, and im serious...because I use a landcruiser to tow with

Ill make you one to your exact spec

I prefer tri axle, tows forward with much more stability and much nicer to reverse as are slower turning.The braking is good as well. The downside is less weight capacity and hardwork to move by hand. Just my opinion based on 1000s of miles towing here and mainland europe

I forgot about kennedy cheapish and industrial rated(fords used their stuff on maintenance and production line duties) Ive never broken it, so as a toolkit id go halfords as a dedicated socket set kennedy every time

I aggree with above,also join with sikaflex and it will be stronger than oe. Lotus elise chassis is held together with glue and rivets to stop peeling.

A very european responce!

Neale and the boys at rakeway are the real thing, should be better known than what they are, but Im sure a standard landy would have done the job!

In my workshop I have snap on mac etc, but for mobile work pound for pound you cant beat the big halfords set it does everything on a small car like a landrover, they are more honorable than snap on with their lifetime warranty ,no question no arguments. The only downside is up to 19mm the sockets are 3/8 which can be hard with the little short 3/8 ratchet.

Snap on have a plant in China and at their prices they really cant blame economics when charging £100 for a ratchet its greed. Henry Ford said employ the local people and pay them enough to buy your products and the money goes around now its just buy and sell and stuff the quality,

Depends on your skill level, rover used snap rivets for a reason though. If you go that route make sure they are annealed and some alloy rivets can go 'off'
