    That is the question! Im just curious what the thoughts of the RV8 owners on here are regarding engine oil cooling before i go ahead and buy my radiator? Is it essential even in this cold climate?
  2. need4speed
    Wont it be 24v though?
  3. need4speed
    Because cheaper alternatives are noisy pieces of rubbish. Rhoads are noisy pieces of slightly better rubbish. Fit genuine LR.
  4. need4speed
    Nope. Ive got the larger TD5 wheelboxes to suit.

    Has anyone used a TD5 radiator for a V8 powered vehicle? Just wondering if its a viable idea as it would save me having to weld brackets onto my galvanised TD5 chassis in order to fit a V8 rad. Im pretty sure the rad itself would have more than enough cooling capacity, its just im not sure about hose sizes/routing?

    Any reason why this wouldnt be suitable for 'normal' defenders? Thanks
  7. need4speed
    There are no markings that hint at manufacturer on the crank or gear. Only '140' stating number of teeth on gear.

    Bought part number DLW000020 for my defender from LR Series. Ordered an OEM part. Imagine my dismay when the little blue box fell out of the jiffy bag! Since when was britpart an OEM supplier? Should I even use this? It would be a major pita if it were to fail prematurely.

    Maybe a broken part of the gasket stuff that fits between the inside of the door and the doorlatch mechanism? Is it foam or plastic?
  10. need4speed
    Having just done this recently myself i can say that it was mainly playing around with door hinge adjustment until a reasonable gap was achieved all the way round the doors. Very much easier to do if you have a helper on hand. Playing with the strikers will do nothing.

    Thats a good point mikey. I was just a little concerned that if i used a td5 harness, things wouldnt work properly if the ecu plugs werent connected to an ecu. Given that i have a v8 these connectors would be completely redundant.
  12. need4speed
    Thanks for the advice Dave. It begs the question which would be the best to use for my application or does it even matter? Im guessing there would be more redundant plugs on the td5 loom?
  13. need4speed
    Ok so just seen from parts book that the 300tdi has an ecu as well so what do i do with the ecu connector on the harness (seeing as i wont have an ecu), just leave it disconnected? Pardon my ignorance this is my first landrover!
  14. need4speed
    When it comes to me fitting the bulkhead wiring harness, will it matter if a fit a 300tdi or td5 item? Reason i ask is that i understand the td5 has a few ecu units that i wont be having on my v8. The chassis harness that i have installed has the later type connectors fitted so i assume its either 300tdi or td5?

    Thanks James. Just what i was hoping someone would say. Consider them ignored...
  16. need4speed
    As title. They are £55 each! A lot of money for what they are. They are described as splash guards but not sure if thet are really needed. Thoughts?
  17. need4speed
    Thanks for the super quick reply Ralph. Guess I'll just have to drill the holes in the door as there are none at present.
  18. need4speed
    Does anyone know how these fillers (BDG710010 etc) are fixed to the door. Looking at numcat it doesn't show them fixed by any screws etc. The lack of holes in the door frame support this. Are they just stuck in place?
  19. need4speed
    Ahh I see. So I can go ahead and assemble everything but just leave the dash top off. Thanks for the tips Ralph.
  20. need4speed
    But surely when its all built up and working I won't be able to get at the cable to cut it? Do you mean temporarily fitting wiper controls before fitting rest of dash etc? Sorry for my ignorance.
  21. need4speed
    Mav I don't have a centre dash as yet. Not really at that stage yet. Ralph thanks for the info. Looks like I need to cut my drive cable down a bit.
  22. need4speed
    Thanks mav. That clears that up. Does that mean that the tube that the drive cable runs in is also different?
  23. need4speed
    Started fitting new wiper wheelboxes to my bulkhead. After fitting them I noticed a problem. There is a bracket on the bulkhead that will get in the way of the cable and tube. I was told that the new bulkhead was a TD5 one so what's going on here?
  24. need4speed
    While watching a 4x4 is born I noticed mark evans using a tool that looks very useful for inserting the window rubber filler strip. What are these called?
  25. need4speed
    Dont think i'll need to mod the bulkhead seeing as its a TD5 bulkhead ive got.
