Can anyone tell me if I must use a the taller type thermostat that engages the Oring in the housing ro can I use the flush mount type? I pulled my current staat out as it was stuck open (likely since I bought the truck 10 years ago :-) it is a flush mount type but there is an Oring in the top of the housing....

Castrol GTLMA only as far as I know, as it does not affect natural rubber seals as normal DOT fluid might.

Apply as much force as you can with a screwdriver while your apprentice gives the drum a couple of whacks with a hammer, Don't hit it too hard but just enough to shift the rust. good luck

So will this thing bolt into a series? What kind of nasties will it do to the stock tranny and diffs? Assuming a light application of right foot :-) Will I need to carve up my galvanized chassis and bulkhead? Can you tell I need a diesel badly??

. My pics are at www.66rover.com BTW. So where does this project stand today? I would love to learn more....these engines are cheap and plentiful. On that topic does anyone know if the Perkins Prima can be sourced on North America? I heard it was fitted to fork lifts or boats?

just in the wondering stage, but the prices of discos makes this tempting to try. I am aware the steering box will be in the path of the turbo.....has anyone found a work around? Fabricated exhaust manifold?

It's not my 110, but the owner suggests that 1st gear is basically useless in day to day motoring, so it is essentially a 4 speed now, question really is can you get better highway performance out of a 2,5 diesel with taller gears, be it t-case, tires or an overdrive? The next step would be a 2.5 turbo or a 200tdi I guess?

According to Rangerovers.net the 4 pin diffs were 1999 onwards with the 4 wheel traction control.

My understanding is the low range is untouched but High range is higher.....not sure of the ratios?

I want to fit a higher ratio T-case to a military 2.5NA 110, I understand the discovery T-case is higher ratio and suspect it will fit, can anyone confirm? Will the 110 have enough power to use the higher ratio? the disco doner is a 4.0 Auto 1996 vintage. 110 is 1988 I believe. Thanks! Chris
