It does give the thought of a throttle position sensor, or 1500rpm is when the turbo kicks in does it hold the boost ok when it is up to speed?
-
If you can get a new/good used expansion tank and cap it is deffo worth a try.
-
ah all is clear now
-
I must admit i was envious....
I would have loved to be in that jungle Camel Trophy style NOT BBC style
-
I'm not far...
What's up?
-
What is Microcat?
-
It's definatley repairable if you do the work yourself.
However if you have to pay someone to do the work for you it might be better to sell or break.
It's your call...

A very interesting read.
I do like the rear door table it has given me an idea of what i will do with mine.
-
I think that we might start seeing the rebuilding of Disco's a bit more hopefully so there might be more advice soon.
-
Has anyone attempted this before?
-
So hopefully it should all come apart then?
Which can let me make the chassis like new
Then get some serious underseal on the boot floor and rear wheel arches especially
Plus inner wings and battery usual places really
Then a choice of what colour to change it...
-
Well the sun roof has started leaking so the roof lining is coming off on Sunday.
I will see then if there are bolts in it or not.
-
I'm thinking of doing a full restoration on my Disco1 XS.
Can the roof and all other body panels be simply unbolted off?
Can the whole body then be removed from the chassis to allow for a full restoration like a Series or Defender?
Thanks

i guess the problem is if you change the chassis in any way you have to get a sva test
I was under the impression that you only need a SVA test if you replace the chassis.

I'd go with the Denso at that cheaper price

A picture comes to mind.....
I seem to remember a picture doing the rounds of a cross dresser having sex with a Rand Rover Classic

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Exactly my sentiments, could not have put it better myself, the anti's will take whatever view they want from a statement, just think about our poor old MP's who have been so misunderstood these past 12 months, what with duck houses falling to pieces.............
It's not just the past 12 months....
Look at poor old 2 Jags Presscot that time....
Anyway politics has no place on a Landie forum.
SO any guesses on the next episode?

What would she prefer you to be doing?
Having an affair...
or
Land rover related exercises?

Isn't the down side that if you're in a remote area and something breaks you can't get spares.
-
What about on a Defender then?
Are they 24 inner and 24 outer?
-
What do you mean Megajolt?
I have not heard of it before, i guess a few hours on google will sort it out.

I was on Wikipedia and i read the following blurb on the Series 3 section
In 1980 the 4-cylinder 2.25 litre engines (both petrol and diesel) were updated with five-bearing crankshafts to increase strength in heavy duty work. At the same time the transmission, axles and wheel hubs were re-designed for increased strength. This was the culmination of a series of updates to the transmission that had been made since the 1960s to combat the all-too-common problem of the rear axle half-shafts breaking in heavy usage. This problem was partly due to the design of the shafts themselves. (6 cylinder + Rover rear end = broken diff, broken axles). Due to the fully-floating design of the rear wheel hubs, the half shafts can be removed very quickly without even having to jack the vehicle off the ground. The tendency for commercial operators to overload their vehicles exacerbated this flaw which blighted the Series Land Rovers in many of their export markets and established a reputation that continues in many markets to the present day. This is despite the 1982 re-design (mainly the changing of the driveshafts from 10 driving-splines to 24 to reduce stress) all but solved the problem.
Is that correct about the 10 spline shafts being upgraded to 24?
