  1. Q1 are they the same ratio? Q2 were the pinions matched to the crownwheels? its not a massive issue but it certainly helps as they are made as a matching set
  2. h1 portalboxes are now very sought after unsurprisingly 🤣
  3. i can bet that they were the owners of hi vis, camo jacket, rigger boots & a popcorn & smoke map
  4. As a thought, just seen m7 bolts are a common fitment on BBS split rims , might be worth looking in that direction, Main thing is for the love of baby Jesus, say no to stainless #chromewontgetyouhome #saynotostainless
  5. these were my go to alternator for 24v applications, https://tinyurl.com/fdwxm8j6 renualt magnum truck,
  6. the fact the terminals got hot enough to melt the vaseline that you put on there would indicate to me that you either have a poor connection somewhere or a very high resistance
  7. personally i prefer the head to head with the side by side starts,
  8. oil pressure for the engine & oil temp for the gearbox especially if its an auto, its what i have in the race car
  9. starter itself is always worth a change before changing the Crank sensor
  10. for what its worth, ive just been through a similar issue with my Ls v8, spent nearly 2 months trying to get to the bottom of why it was over fueling & fowling plugs & it turned out i had the odd bank coil pack firing in the wrong sequence, it had been like that for some time including being raced like that, when it was started it was running quite rich but when reved would seem to clear & sounded like it was on all 8, i would definetly be 100% sure you havent a missfire before diving into the actual fuel tables trying to resolve the over fueling
  11. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202103079837703?model=DEFENDER 130&onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=Used&advertising-location=at_cars&postcode=eh478ba&include-delivery-option=on&radius=1500&sort=distance&make=LAND ROVER&page=1 another questionable autotrader advert, 30k spent but paintwork done with a 1/2 empty rattle can
  12. 7/8k id say is about the right kinda price point for that, 12k is being a bit hopeful, theres enough people doing m57 swaps that i wouldnt let that put me off, ok the p38 bellhousing adaption is far from perfect but it is cheaper than using an adapter plate, however the main issue with the p38 bellhousing adaption is that you need to use an uprated clutch otherwise it slips, not sure how the slave cylinder can be that custom
  13. the blue piece is the adapter to mount the bearing between the drum & the end plate, if you knock it down it should come out the end plate, in this configuration there is no plastic bush like on a normal 8274
  14. nightforce are an american company that make scopes, lightforce are an australian company that make lights, they dont make headlight upgrades unfortunatley & have been off the top of the lighting game for a while now,
  15. for a start they wont sag due to being made from chinesium as they are basically a gas pressurised ram, if the presure leaks out then they will sag, the shafts can corrode, the bearings can wear, all stuff that requires maintenance much like any other item of this construction, with the suggested use, i wouldnt fit air shocks, you would be better off with a set of good quality springs & shocks in my opinion
  16. 16" air shocks are a big wieldy things that are difficult to mount & package on a landrover chassis vehicle, quite simply, there too big, however a 12" or 14" at a push long airshock in a 2.5" diameter are a better option for a landrover based vehicle, in regards to your vehicle im trying to work out what your trying to achieve by fitting them, yes they are tunable for the weight they are carrying, however they need tuning in general for any vehicle, they are not a fit & gas up & of you go system, i have quite a bit of experience with 2" & 2.5" diameter air shocks & fitting & setting them up on "offroad" vehicles, however for a road going vehicle, there are better options out there
  17. all steel fabrication = sounds bloody heavy, main question would be whats it hiding underneath? in regards to the seats, id rather those than plastic or aluminium seats simple because id rather not have a broken back, alloy or plastic seats suck unless your planning on imitating a boat
  18. if you break down the component cost its not that bad a deal, depending on what gearbox combination your planning to use, the adapter on its own is 800+v, yes you can use the cobbled together P38 bellhousing option, yes its cheaper, but only if you can get the bellhousing & parts, you still have to assemble the box which then becomes a combination of parts, plus the clutch is a bit small so it slips
  19. id strongly suggest changing the starter motor, they can cause EMF interferance which gives a noisy crank sensor signal, it can also cause an extended cranking period
  20. first picture has aircon, second picture is there competition bumper
  21. ive been speaking to marcus at MW machines https://www.facebook.com/mwmachines4x4 about a kit to convert my 110, i believe at the moment hes concentrating on supplying complete turnkey kits for people to fit themselves
