👍 thanks

Thanks Eightpot but I am thinking about additional steering lock/removable wheel in addition to the standard column lock.

Good evening all. I am not close to my vehicle at the moment so don't have access to find the information I need. Can anyone tell me what spline/boss I might need for an early two door steering column. Thinking about a steering lock setup. Thanks Ash

honitionhobbit "What's a Genuine Bosch Boost Pin Upgrade? Is it just a re-profiled boost pin?" You are correct in your thinking, It is a genuine bosch pin with a different profile not a cheap unit from one of the shows. I like the idea of some head work to allow better breathing and yes the intercooler could be more efficient but would this really effect low down torque before the turbo starts to work?

Good evening all. So I am after some of you wisdom or real time experience with regard to upgrading the standard 200tdi discovery turbo charger. Honest experiences if you please in the performance area V cost etc. I am trying to decide whether or not to fit a VVT / VNT on to my current set up but have not found many testimonials to the positive but to be fair neither many to the negative. My current set up is :- Discovery 200tdi engine approx 150k miles Double width intercooler (2x standard intercoolers welded end to end and re-piped) Current turbo waste gate adjusted (18psi max, no movement in waste gate) Boost diaphragm pin replaced with genuine bosch upgrade Various tweaks to FIP (max fuel, non boost fuel, boost actuation rate) 285x75x16 BFG KM2 tyres 3.54 diffs 1.211 transfer box So what will I gain or loose? Not looking for any more top end as 80-85mph is enough before things start to complain, expecting a more positive harder pull away with additional torque and less turbo lag. Your thoughts please, regards Ash

Your obviously still quite poorly posting twice.... Or it's your age "old mad" lol

If you need any thing Doc I can collect, his new place is opposite Nippers dads.

Where abouts are you MHawk? I have the ability to rebuild the Bosch pumps as long as you have all the parts. In theory you will not need a complete rebuild as a long as it is just a seal issue. Regards Ash

Hi, To me there is no problem. Yon can clearly see the drive coupling behind the outer plate in the right hand picture although you will need to rotate the engine to line everything up there is a slot in the coupling so you can get the 9.5mm timing pin in. (About 11oclock) Just so you are aware that the 3 m8 bolts hold the outer plate In position at the same time as clamping the drive gear to the drive flange, the larger 22mm nut (maybe 24mm) in the middle secures the drive coupling to the drive shaft which you do not need to undo unless you a working on the front seal. HTH Ash

Hi, The banjo bolt is of a restricted return type to keep a small amount of pressure inside the body of the FIP so therefore flow through that fitting will not be restricted sufficiently to cause yo an issue. Regards Ash

Surely you have to have, MEGA- squirt....... in there some where.

Roger that, it will be after work obviously but not sure what I'm doing next week.

Hi all, Forum relay request please, Plymouth to Hampshire/Wiltshire/Dorset. Thinking about bidding on e-bay for 3 off 225/75/16 tyres, would need to be collected from Plymouth area soonish but no rush to get to final destination. I will obviously pay for the tyres and sort out addresses etc so anyone on their travels? Thanks all Ash

Hey Mr Brown, what you up to next week, maybe in the mood for a cuppa?

What Mike said, the road manners and predictability of the KM2's are fantastic compared to the crawlers, I had lots of issues with wheel wobble but now nothing. The KM2's are a pricey tyre and I will be interested to see how they wear but am happy with them at present.

Thanks Ross I'll check his thread.

Hi all, Can someone please tell me if they know what shocks fit a MK III wide track? I think RTC 4442's from a LWB rear may fit! Many thanks Ash

Good evening Gents, Can someone do me a favour and measure the open and closed lengths of LWB rear shocks. I believe the part number for these are RTC 4442 Many thanks Ash

May be worth an ask Ross. On the series hubs that are called distances pieces but they only keep the hubs spaced away from the stub axle so machining is possible Pete, ta

Good evening all, I need help! Can anyone please tell me where I can get one of these, it is the stub axle distance piece as fitted to a MkIII wide track trailer. Any help would be much appreciated Thanks Ash

What mike said Ross...

Cheers you got it even if my post was a little vague. I'm still interested to see if anyone has tyres at the sizes mentioned as we all know sizes can come up a little smaller, taller or wider! Thanks anyway

Ok Gents I know this type of question has been done to death but..... Looking or at least thinking of having a swap out of tyres but want and need to know the exact sizes. Looking at 33"-35" diameter with a width of 10.50" - 11.50". Any help or sizes would be much appreciated. Thanks Ash

No Rob I think you know me a little better than that? But some good news, with a little bit help from Mike "tomcat" Brown for all that want to do a proper job the thread is......... Wait for it....... 7/16 BSF...why land rover why odd threads?????????????
