Hi, Any chance of a pic of boss? How high is adapter? (ie how far does it bring wheel to your body). What sort of quality is boss. I bought one from JC pn MB115. It was a steel fram with a plastic disc on bottom covered in a yucky plastic sleeve. Unfortunately this fits my steering column but the pcd only fits Mountney large mounts not MOMO little ones.(assume pcd 70). The MOMO ones for cars look very tidy. Whas type steering wheel did you have fitted? 4spoke, soft foam? Cheers.

The 200 feul filter is just a in out affair wheres the NA(and Td i think) had three pipes. The feul goes into the lift pump(from tank) through the filter and into the injection pump. The overflow goes back into the tank. It seems complicated wehn comparing to the Td, but the 200tdi is quite a simple setup really. Hope this helps.

Just a thought.... So am i right in thinking the transfer box is the same as fitted to other LRs? I have a box from an older Range Rover. Will this be a straight swap? I have still to determine whether i have the mechanism there or a blank case. Well even to find out year and designation! Definitely a facelift model. If i have a blank case, can i just install bits from RR box to make Disco box lockable? Or I must i completely remove Disco box and install RR box? (or maybe even a defender box as i plan to fit larger tyres). Look forward to your comments. Cheers.

Do you have any pics of this setup? Cheers.

Are you referring to Areocatches? Something like this i was thinking off. Would like to hear your thoughts. Cheers.

I bought some similar ones from an american cat that is meant for a jeep. This will go on my lightweight. I was considering some really sweet rally type that flush fit on to the bonnet for my disco. Cheers.

I think i have one of these on my V8 i removed recently. Used though. I also have a inline thermostat that i never fitted. Also a few hydraulic fittings to join it all together. (all 1/2UNF) If interested give me a shout I will check and send a pic. I can post to you. Cheers.

Both alternator and starter are different beasts to yours. Maybe worth getting an upgraded starter if you looking to purchase a new one. It is a more modern design that uses gears and on board solenoid i think. Not really that hard to do. There are many series out there ideal for donors i would have thought.

Not what you asked but... You can use the screened system as a temporary measure until you get the correct bits. I believe there is a dropper resistor before the coil to allow it to be used on a 24v system. The distributor doesnt have the nice vacuum advance like the civilian type though. Cheers.

What type did you fit? Polybush the Brand or another manufacturer? Cheers.

Yes, you can 'clock' the outlet. Just make sure that you mark where the wastegate bolts are so that you can realign them when the outlet is turned. Also trial fit the wastegate as the outlet may be where the the wastegate wants to go!. (You will need to tap out two new holes for the wastegate). I used a pair of pipe wrench with pins fitted(90 degrees from nose), to release circlip. Cheers.

Sorry cant help with springs. Was considering OME 2" lift. Dont forget you need to tell computer that air suspension has been removed. Not done it myself but i believe you can do it using a NANOCOM. Cheers.

Hi Nige, Although a defender thread, i hoping this would also be of relevance to my lightweight hybrid. (I believe the particular one is for S3 & 90/110). I have a safety devices roll bar that i have trial fitted to my lightwieght hybrid but am struggling with the chassis mounts. I am mainly interested in the mounts that hold the hoop. Would you have any pics of them? For some reason exactly where i need to put the plates, are where the feul tank outrigger is situated. Also on the inside of the chassis is where the A frame support is mounted. Any ideas how i can get around this or generate the support needed for the roll bar? I am unable to drop down to your local pipe bender! Any thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers.

Hi Chris, Sorry for taking so long to get back to you! It seems somewhat excessive to purchase new brackets. I hate to imagine what that'll cost!! I used a set of brackets from a V8 5 speed Range Rover. (LT77 box i think). Surely you can find some from a breakers yard or someones shed!! I am running a BorgWarner transferbox at the moment but the mount (Driverside) is the same. (I am pretty sure). The LT77 bracket LHS would be the same for most LTs i think. The reason i ask what engine mount you are using is because the discovery the engine is situated in a slightly different sideway position to that of a defender. You may find that if you use the same gearbox mounts as myself then your engine might be slightly asque! I am running the same bracket as you pic on post 20 but with V8 engine mount type rubbers. Not sure if there is a difference. My mounts are slightly higher than your but i still have the bottom hole lower thantt the chassis. Only bout an inch though. I have yet to weld a braket mount for the bottom hole! Cant you lift your gear/transferbox up any higher? Engine would probably need lifting too though. The mounts on my 110 n/a diesel are completely different and situated higher up i think. I can take a few pics if you want. Maybe a few days though! Just let me know what you are looking for! Helps or confuses?? Cheers. Did you check out rjblanks thread on his 200tdi conversion. A very good writeup.

Which engine mounts are you using? Series, Defender, Discovery?? Yes it does make a difference!! Cheers

Was it not from Paddocks? What part no: you searching by? Cheers.

I vaguely seem to remember tomcat motorsports doing them? Theire website is being updated. Maybe worth a call? Not sure your reasons for doing this though. Most people seem to fit castor correction radius arms. Cheers.

My mate tried the bolt pully thing but with little sucess. What he did was similar to Jaroslav did only that he used a bearing splitter instead. Drilling two holes in the plastic to allow bolts through and fit pully base under steering wheel. Gave little trouble coming off!

Can you just confirm what ignition switch you have. Is it the petrol version(or tdi as same) or td one? The one that is OFF, IGN, turn against spring slightly for heater plugs, turn fully for start? (td) Or OFF, ACC, IGN, turn to Start? (tdi) I suspect that you have the first one. If so, I recommend you fit a high amperage relay(not timer like you currently have) instead of using the ignition switch to supply feed for the heater plugs. That is what i did. The ignition switch really isnt ideal for this role. This guy had a similar problem.military hope this of help. If not let me know i will try and clarify.

Hi, Whereabouts are you located. Maybe interested in your old 1.4 box! Cheers.

Hi, Has anyone tried these rims? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/16-x-8-Steel-BLACK-R...8QQcmdZViewItem I understand there are similar models available from the US. What wheel nuts would go with these? Would Series 1 Disco wheelnuts fit? These are the best steel wheel i have come up with so far. I would like some Mach 5s but they are soo expensive and i think they need to be built to order. I am not that keen on offroading alloys. The offset is +25mm. How does this compare to other 8x16 Modulars(90/110, S1 Disco fitments). Cheers.

Hi Todd, Like the website. Been to it a few times. I would like to weld plates to chassis but feul outrigger is in the way on the outside and A frame support in the way on the inside. The plates weld to the sides of the chassis which is fairly straightforward but do i really have to remove the outrigger and A frame support? Whereabouts do you have your rollbar mounted to? I wanted to know how other series owners mounted/secured their roll bar. I dont want to just have roll bar sitting in tub, i want it to be an integral part of the chassis. If still unclear i could take a few pics to show you. By the way, what springs do you have fitted to your Landy? Cheers.

Is it just for indication or does it include a revertive for the traction control system? Just a thought.

Hi, You could try bolting a td turbo onto a 200tdi engine! Its been done before. That is if you are worried about exhaust fitting problems. Cheers.

I dont think the cable is fused. Power is from the main input to ignition switch which i think is straight from the battery. Not an ideal situation but i think i am right in saying this. Ideally a fuse would be inline. Will have look tommorrow if i get a chance. I am definitely a fan of relays though and think this would be the best option. Powerwise and operationaly. All i did was remove the big thick brown cable and used a smaller one in its place to operate the relay. Feed for heater directly from battery via fuse. I also removed the old glass type fuse holder with a blade type from VWP also. No problems with lights or other electrics since! Would recommend this mod also. Cheers.
