  1. On the plate on my 110 the max front axle weight is 1200 kgs. I put the front of my truck on a weighbridge today and it weighs 1240kg. there is a winch and 35 inch tyres fitted, I was wondering is there a heavy duty axle weight I could upgrade to?

    Thanks

  2. Hi Andi

    I live about10 miles from Limerick on the south side if you are looking for the irish experience ( trad music etc) then you should head to County Clare around Doolin on the west coast is really good, the scenery here is really fab too as you are in the Burren. Usually the ferry from Wales to Rosslare is fairly cheap at this time of the year, I suspect you journey is coming in under the Christmas period. so everything is more expensive. If you are over this way let me know and we will organise something, however there are no "lanes" in Ireland like those in the Uk. If you need any more info drop me a pm

    thy this the burren

  3. I run an mwm 4.2 6cyl turbo intercooled onto a lt77 in a 110,( 500nm, (350approx bhp)) have to say its the best truck I have ever owned and really Landrover should have considered putting a bigger than 2.5 diesel into their range.Mwm/International will be familar as they brought the modified 2.8 based on the 300 tdi. consider my engine as +1.5 version of the 2.8 :D :D . I have the same transmission since the conversion which was four years ago. Truck does road and offroad stuff on a regular basis. Truck is running 35 inch tyres and a 1.2 xfer box.

  4. how loud are we talking then with this talk of 'within regulations' ?

    Dunno the proper spec, however at the local test center in the opinion of the tester the trucks were fine, Never been challenged by the police either, and the six pot is nice to listen to, on full chat with a SS 3inch pipe running up the back of the cab :D

  5. I run straight throu exhausts on two machines one a 90 200 tdi and the other 110 4.2 tdi, both have no silencers and comply with local noise regulations. It is better with a turbo to get the exhaust away as fast as possible and back pressure is a no no for turbos.

  6. Diesel Jim thanks for the photos, beside main dealer who would have the bits ? how big a cooler does the system have and where does it mount? thanks again

    Right went out and had a look, there is no place to mount this part on my Lt77, anyone know at what suffix this option was available on lt77's?

  7. I have a thermatic housing (for oil cooler) from an LT77 on an R380. I believe there may be a difference in the threads of the ports, but that should not worry you.

    Have you any photographs of the housing please? thanks, I have looked at a spare lt77 on the groung and on the lhs there are only the filler plug and a large plug at the bottom of the box, I understood the oil was pumped from the gearbox pump through the cooler?

  8. I have a lt77 and 1.2 xfer box fitted behind a 6 cylinder 4.2 MWM tdi. 422ft/lb @1500prm 204hp@3500rpm also running straight through 3" exhaust. It came from M&D Engineering(Anglia). It drives brilliantly and has good fuel economy, however on medium to long runs the gearbox is getting really hot, much hotter than the same type box in a 200tdi. I know it is possible to add a cooler to the R380 but is there any way to cool the lt77?. As the engine is 6 cyl. there is no room to move it forward enough to fit a R380 behind it without major alterations.

    Any help/suggestions?
