Wouldn't be happy using them....

Just use Grant.......

IMHO I would order the basic chassis in bare steel, then make the mods you want yourself, then when you are happy with it all get it galvanised yourself.

8.8 written on the heads usually says they are metric......

FFS have you STILL not fixed that??????

A range rover air box will fit. As above - bin the k&N's.
Use vacuum advance and make sure the vacuum unit is working.
If you intend to off road this (assume you are as you are talking about fitting a snorkle) then you will find that the hopeless V8 distributor will stall the engine due to water long before the water gets high enough to get into the air intake!

Pack it with grease, and grab a 1/2" drive socket extension. Then wind insulating tape around the extension until its a nice tight fit in the bush, thena couple of taps with a hammer and out she pops!

It'll work fine with the gold coil which is a non ballast type.
Upgrade wise I wouldnt bother with any of the electronic gubbins you put into the dizzy - I would fit Edis and megajolt and do away with the dizzy entirely. I ran my V8 on this setup with twin SU's and it transformed it. No more agro with damp igniton leads etc.

I would avoid the cheapo ebay ones, and make sure that whatever you buy is ONVIF compliant which is the international standard for CCTV.
More these days are POE powered so can be powered via cat5 cables from a cheap POE switch.
I would then use Milestone Go which is free PC based software which is superb. the free versions allows up to 8 cameras and stores recordings for 5 days. You can export anything of interest easily, and it has really good motion detection etc, including pre-buffering which is a really useful feature. Milestone is compatible with most major manufacturers kit (but it must be ONVIF compliant which the el-cheapo ones are not). We use Milestone corporate at work and it is an excellent product. The free version has pretty much all the same features (in fact we also use it at work for some smaller stand alone systems).
We run it using i5 NUCs which are ideal to leave on all the time.
Cheers

Sorry make that 5/16W flippin forum won't let me edit it......

They are 3/8" BSF.
You need either a 3/8bsf spanner or a 1/4Bsw.
They work out at 15.24mm hence why a 15mm is too tight!

Woof Nige?????
Strictly no dogs allowed!

I run shortened ones on my truck and have done for years. I do them myself it's easy enough.
I personally don't bother with balancing them, neither do I bother with wheel balancing.

Led panels are good and very slimline, but they ain't cheap!

Under the steering wheel? Hahahahaha that's far too logical for one of them!
Ecu for that is in the passenger footwell iirc. Your best bet is to look at the wiring diagrams, and get your head round understanding how it's all supposed to work in the first instance. Once you've got your head round it all, it's surprisingly easy to troubleshoot the electrics on a soft dash, but getting your head round it is the hard bit. Checking the manual will also guide you to the location of the correct ecu and all the associated relays as I sold mine about 5 years ago now so can't honestly remember.
A favourite on those is dry joints on the pins on the various ecu's (there are lots of them) where the wiring look plugs into. When I had mine I fixed a lot of things just by taking the ecu's apart and re soldering the joints for the wiring loom connectors. This is a favourite on the electiric window ecu, auto dimming rear view mirror among others.....

Fit the turbo back on. I've never understood why people take the damn things off! It will make an enormous difference.......mine with a bit of fiddling is just as quick as it ever was with a v8 fitted.
When the turbo hose blew off on the way up the dual carriageway one time it was truly dreadful and wouldn't go over about 50mph.

Series 3 gearbox input splines are NOT the same as LT77 or R380. The 5 speeds use a fine, multi spline, the series uses a large course spline (10 spline iirc). Aside from the spline count they are otherwise identical.
They can be made - I had one made years ago for my V8 series 3 by the same supplier as Nige uses. It worked well.

Jaguars and bmws are the common ones......

Bad earth.....I guarantee it. Starting point would be to look at the wiring diagram and work out from there where the earths are.

They're joining force with LRM apparently.
Frankly I'm amazed any of them are still going.....

No a range rover one won't fit.
I just soldered a small copper pipe into the top of the radiator for this connection on mine, using plumbers solder and a blowtorch.

Never seen any pics of yours Soren.....

Anti wrap can be made to work ok on the rear of a landrover, but I've never seen a solution to it on the front, that actually works properly and doesn't eat bushes, or reduces articulation.
Fridgefreezers solution works ok ish, but he'll be the first to admit that it eats bushes......

1. Yes
2. No 90 ones are about 4" longer

Whŷ bother? It only slightly alters the shift points, but bear in mind it was designed for a 300tdi, and not for the Isuzu lump that will have a different power curve it'll be wrong anyway.
