  1. over priced in which way? especially so when you are buying the turbo outright with no core unit exchange?
  2. I'd be checking the wastegate isn't sticking as my new disco was doing this recently, laggered it in penetration spray & worked it back & forth & all is good
  3. free hand tube notching is easy enough once you get the hang of it
  4. in the words of james may "aw cock" wish i had seen them earlier as i could have done my complete dash on one multiplug instead of 4
  5. when i first started using the wheel bearing race to drive the seals in i measured how far they could go in when the seal bottomed out as such, on the ones i measured they were at the required 4mm so since then ive always used the bearing race to drive it home till it stopped,
  6. whu not just use an old wheel bearing outer race? its free & does the same job? been using one for years
  7. buy a petrol Stihl saw & give it a start everynow & then, he will then realise the grinder was nothing in comparison to how noisy you could be,
  8. i think you are being more than reasonable, personally i wont do any grinding after 9pm but my workshop is in amongst the back gardens of the surrounding houses,
  9. thanks ralph actuators are #5 in the listing
  10. Can anyone advise on the correct part numbers for a fuel filter head on a td5 discovery? T reg (99) also the correct fuel regulator as thats leaking & the numbers for both front door lock actuators Cheers Mike
  11. breg90 is correct, weight is everything, our previous challenge truck was 2300, the current buggy is 1900 +/- depending on event & it is a noticable differance, bearing in mind a creepy crawler on a beadlock rim is 60kg each, winches are roughly 50kg each (Gp's + 8274s) i think you will really struggle to get all your other parts of the build "built" for a ton in weight,
  12. nether can i, that was exchanged for a good sized slab of beer, was a good thing it happened though as the oil pump bolt was loose
  13. as ive said before, just because you can, doesnt mean you should
  14. i had this issue with a td5 sump after it took a bite out the ground & when we fixed it, it looked like this
  15. as above im looking for some recomendations for a battery for starting & running the 12v system on my Td5 challenge truck, i currently have an 072 600CCA 73Ah battery fitted but due to the ongoing mods for King of the Valleys i now have a space which is only 230mm wide x 175mm x 175mm , any suggestions on which battery i should go for? ideally i would like to mount the battery on its side if possible as it will keep the terminals away from the bonnet, I have looked at the Odyssey extreme 30/35/40 & the Odyssey Pc545 but havent been able to decide which would be the best to go for any suggestions welcome
  16. any further progress on the mk2/mk3 versions Si?
  17. looking for the part numbers for both the handle mechanism & the piece that goes on the door pillar to allow fitment of series 3 doors to a defender? TIA

  19. ive just fitted a pair to my d2 axles that are going under the challenge truck
  20. ok veering marginally offtopic, what about the 2.9 5 cylinder fitted to the 312D sprinters & the ssanyung mussos? are they as tunable as easily as the om606?
  21. talking of merc diesels..... i think DD might be onto something
  22. gwyn lewis HD weld on pan. just fitted some to the uxles under my challenge truck excellent gear & a top bloke also
