Would like to see it but not practical unfortunately.

This sounds very interesting. Could you tell a little more about how you modified the retainers to let the airbags drop out? Some pictures would be great! What kind of airbags are you using?

Good point! I did not think of that. Do not know whether it will be a problem. You can put a 90 or RRC rear axle on a 110 surely

I will give them a call Thanks

thanks for reply. I was thinking of controlling the airbags using something like this http://www.arnottairride.com/products/prod...asp?groupId=123 I know it will not give me continous leveling but i think i can live with that. This company also sells uprated arbags which adress the problem of stiffness at offroadheight http://www.arnottindustries.com/part_LAND_...yid4_pid21.html Since I have little or no idea whether this will result in an improved Defender or not I was hoping to use secondhand parts to keep costs down. I am probably mistaken but besides the tank,hoses and valveblock it should not be to much work to put in (or out again for that matter) Can I use the shock absorbers to control drop out travel or would I need something else to catch them? Was thinking of buying a set of +2 shock absorbers for this project.

Hi all. My 110 V8 is nearly finished now with a new 4.2 engine, Disco transferbox and a ZF auto transmission, hence I need a new project. Been thinking about putting air suspension on it but without the electronics. Do you know whether the airsprings can be mounted straight into the coil seats of the frame and axle? I know there is an issue with the front shock absorber, but will using a twin front shock absorber turret clear the shock from the airbag? I have read that quite a few RRC owners have converted their cars from air to coils, but has anyone gone the other way? What I hope to achieve with the conversion is to have a nicer car on road with a low centre of gravity and the option of raising it to desired height when going offroad. Thoughts and ideas from the forum on this matter will be appreciated! Leftover parts from RRC conversions of interest!!

Hi. My kickdown cable is stuck at the outer position and I need to change it. Slightly worried about this job as the most intimate I have been with an autobox previously is to change her filter Do you need to take out the whole valve block or is it possible without removing it? Any hints or tips would be appreciated! Regards Brds

Thanks Dave

Hi to everyone from Norway My first post after enjoying reading this great forum for some time. Have a 110 V8 which I have put a RR EFI engine in, now I want to change the gearbox to a ZF auto and a DIsco lt230 to get slightly higher gearing. Will a ZF from a RR with Borg Warner transferbox fit a LT 230? The reason I am asking is that the lever from the transferbox interferes with the ZF Housing Is this the only problem I will have or just the first of a series? Thanks
