  1. If you are going to use a spacer, and need to swap the flange, why not make an adaptor? sales opportunity for someone??
  2. I have a southdown tankguard make sure if you have a lift and or bigger tyres that you buy the towing attatchment for a 110, as the disco one they sell leaves the towball about 3 inch too high on the bottom hole with 2 inch lift and 275/75/16s I would have thought if you needed a tankguard you would have bigger tyres and a lift? southdown are aware of this.
  3. Blanchards have had those sitting on the front for 8 years to my knowledge, they were rough when I first saw them.
  4. I dont think you are meant to be able to unlock using the door buttons, the switch on the dash locks and unlocks.
  5. the td5 is a landrover engine. NOT a bmw one.
  6. But the small pipe must strangle the engine?
  7. It depends if the MOT man knows where to look? I know that 3 door cills are harder to repair than 4 door ones.
  8. you mean its NOT super articulation?
  9. on a cold start, try priming the lift pump, if it starts ok,its air in the system, probably something got disturbed in the test? have a look at the sedimentor.
  10. I have them on the back of my disco, as the springs are too soft for heavy towing, a few pounds in them stiffens the rear up, one problem is you cannot use dislocation kit. I got round it by welding a spring catcher on the turret.
  11. I thought most V8s dropped to 4 pots when they saw a puddle?
  12. They are about £30, not worth trying to clean and seal the old one.
  13. The welding is a half hour job, I usually clean the rust up and get back to decent metal, then holding a plate underneath seam weld from the top grind flat and fill, a coat of seam sealer/underseal from underneath and the job is done, for the abs light check the wheelbearings.
  14. Im with Flux, they asked for a breakdown of my valuation, so I totted up the cost of the bits I have fitted, they agreed so we have gone from there.
  15. I have to ask why bother? there are plenty here, I am sure it would be easier to sell it there and buy another here.
  16. anything is possible, with a bit/lot of bodywork.
  17. You are doing it the wrong way? most people fit bigger arches and a lift to accomodate bigger tyres, not look for tyres to fill and arch. why not go for 275/75/16s and spacers if you want them sticking out more?
  18. I would look at a goodwinch or Champion tds, unless you intend using it daily or competing.
  19. do the lift pumps come in a blue box?
  20. Mine turned over 240,000 today, on the original engine.
  21. To put the TDi in the bobtail and have it back on the road.
