Hi all
Firstly the car is a N reg 300tdi disco currently with an lt77 in it(someone in the past decided to downgrade from an r380 for some reason).
Unfortunately, both my gearbox and transfer box have gone! I've got a replacement r380 gearbox and transfer box (bolted together) ready to go in. My question is, would it be easier to take the engine out, bolt the new box's to the engine and then drop it all back in? Or put the Gbox and Tbox in separately with the engine still in?
Does anyone have any guides lying around to help?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Even I was excited waiting for this! can't imagine how you're feeling!

I thought this might be the case, apart from the addition of a washer, I've had a quick search but I'll keep digging

I find his re listed item description a funny one aswel!

Brilliant!

I'm going down most likely...but not in the landy

Saw this a while back, I personally think it look awesome
Looks to be a lot of time, effort and ££££ spent on it -
Brilliant. Thanks a lot Western, been a great help.

Last question I promise
Are they a fairly reliable winch? Anything I should look out for upon inspection?

the 10 [10,000lb] variant has the same footprint as the 8 [9500lb], uses a worm drive, so when stopped the load can't runaway.
Smashing, Much appreciated Western

Hey Guys
I'm contemplating buying a Husky 8 off a chap, but as I don't know too much about them, I thought I'd ask on here first, all answers are much appreciated.
-Do they have a normal footprint? Or are their specific bumpers for them?
-Do they fit between Defender wings? They do look quite wide
-What sort of speed do they pull at?
It's not going to be used that often to be honest, every now and then at p&p days and the occasional time the quads/other vehicles get stuck on the farm.
Thanks in advance

Saw this a while back. You wouldn't pay a huge amount less for one without tracks! Very nice bit of kit

I stopped using my card at any petrol station, especially the independent ones that have that care reader under the counter!

Hi guys
I've been offered a husky pto off a 110 300tdi (S REG, 1998). My question is, does anyone know if it will go straight on to my 1999 90 TD5?
Thanks in advance!
Toby
-
Erm it goes forward doesn't it? The transfer box is the same distance front the front in both vehicles isn't it?
Yep forward PTO. Just wanted to make sure...knowing my luck it would be 20 inches long if I didn't ask!

Same kit as far as I'm aware,
if the 110 90 engines are the same, everything should swap across easily.
I thought this aswel. Cheers Western!

Quick question......Will a PTO driven husky off a 110 fit on a 90? I.e is the pto shaft length the same length?
Thanks

Looks good. What sort of performance increase have you achieved?

Everything's sorted now Guys, got in touch with an old friend who's doing whole job, including parts, skim and test for £300, which is £400 lees than the garage!
Thanks for the advice!

Do you have the skills to remove the head yourself? If so, I think I would wnat to remove it and send it off to be crack tested and/or skimmed my self. I have had experiences with Td5 where what I thought was head gasket was actually cylinder head, and that will be the healthy part of £2000 for a new one. If you have found out it has cracked before parting with any serious cash you still have the option of the v8 route if its cracked......
If its ok, then take the vehicle and new head to the garage and just pay them to fit it.......
I've never removed a head before...and apparently doing a TD5 as your first isn't recommended? I'm not one for being scared of taking things apart, and if it's going to save me £555 in labour costs then I'd rather have a go!
If the cylinder head has cracked, then I'll more than likely be doing an engine swap.
Thanks Guys

I was spectical about this aswel, but Western confirmed mine could have and even supplied me with a part number

Fitting r380+transfer box, easier taking engine out?
in Tools and Fabrication

Sorry just realised I put this in tool and fab, and not in the Disco section!
I haven't got an engine hoist, I was just gonna use the Loadall at home, so don't think that'll fit through the door!
I've had this discussion with a few mates, and I think it'll be wise to leave the engine in, and struggle underneath. I do actually have a ramp at home, but it's currently broken and is being used for storage of drums and tractor wheels! 
Cheers for the input
