Copy and paste it marcus....
-
Pete - i officially hate you now I guess i'll settle for the VGT for my TD5 d-lander but its just not quite the same!! Simon
-
I think he was referring to using mild steel mig wire over stainless rather than a bodge over a decent job
-
Standard on XS model and optional on county.
-
Yup done it, and also welded stainless-stainless using standard mig with mild wire - results were excellent on both using standard argo shield light on my "hobby" mig
-
We can but hope that the thieving gits werent strapped in when they rolled it and got seriously battered flying round the inside...
-
So does the bottom edge of the cover come down level with the face bolted to the tunnel??
-
Why arent TATA the multi billion, multi national owners paying for new vehicle development.....was a bad idea selling out to them!
-
Possible....Yes Been done...Allegedly yes in europe i believe However as marcus says its controlling the engine that is the problem, i believe that one of the tuning companies (possibly jeremy fearn or JE engineering) have got a stand alone ECU that works - the problem is the huge pricetag.
-
Hmm, thick bit of walnut - the gap is about 1" or more. Sadly even RAVE isnt showing the assembly with the tunnel, only that the shifter bolts down and the cover goes over!
-
Ok - i mocked it up on a bit of scrap ally and its awful....what am i missing?? Why is there a HUGE gap when the top is mounted onto the base, which allegedly bolts down onto the tunnel??? P.S - can a mod please move this to international as its no longer just disco's and needs more coverage
-
Oops - double post.
-
Gravel is always an easy way of testing both abs and tcs systems.
-
The low ranges are the same on all boxes aren't they?? An under drive is somthing i would love to have but i'm not sure that i can foot the £1500+vat price!!
-
Does anyone have photos or diagrams of how the autobox gear selector mounts onto the tunnel as im using it in my d-lander and cannot find a decent way of mounting the thing, i cant work out if it should be surface mounted or half and half above/below etc....
-
It only works when the wheels slip so it needs some welly to kick in, however it is regarded to be pretty good when it is working; but a muddy field with loaded trailer and carp tyres......
-
Yes you can use the facet pumps if you wish. As for twin tanks i'm not sure where you will fit it in...the opposite side has a battery box but essentially if you can find somewhere to put it then yes itll work, i'd suggest things like a balancing pipe unless you wish to run them as a seperate tanks....
-
So screwing people and suppliers once wasnt enough but they've gone and done it again - i hope they get bloody struck off from being directors and its the last we see of them.
-
Hardy Spicer make good ones.
-
5000 rpm is more than enough for practical use
-
Yes you can remove the front prop, stick the t-box in difflock and just take it easy and itll be just fine. Make sure you get decent UJ's not cheapy ones.
-
Another vote for speedglas - best thing since sliced bread.
-
Yup, devon is definately in the south Likewise its 6 hours from me too and thats not really accounting for towing a trailer, traffic on the M5,m6, m42....
-
Ooh, thats cool, thank you mr drumstick
-
I found my td5 tank to be much less vunerable than the one on my 200tdi, its neatly tucked up between the chassis rails and pretty well protected, a much better option than the side slung things they used to use imho.
