orange rover

tbh, sounds a bit scary for high speed events the saginaw box you use, you think it lasts longer than the rover boxes? what kind is it?

kind of wary of the different steering feel with ram assist. also use the truck for rallyes, high speed events how would you describe the different feel, more direct?

seems like i need to replace my sterreing box once a year. would like a more permanent solution that can cope with competition use. what are my options? heard the units from a disco II/p38 may be stronger. has anyone fitted a box from a g wagon/toyota/GM? these seem to last a lot longer than the land rover boxes. then ram assist may also be an option, but not sure whether thats suitable for high speed events? cheers spec

just had a closer look to where the hoses are going one is going straight to the brushes of the starter motor the other to the solenoid not a good place to have grit and water i suppose took the starter apart, drilled the holes and cut a 1/8 inch thread to screw in adapters for airline hoses. these will connect to the rest of the breather system (axle, gearbox, winches etc) cheers spec

on my td5 starter there are two rubber tubes going down, guess for ventialation purposes. but when wading, water will get in through them so better to close them or connect breather hose which leads further up. any opinions? cheers spec

got a full size allisport intercooler lying around. its used but in good shape in case your interested. do want sensible money for it though. cheers

i just did that - thats why i have the 200 tdi lying around

as it happens, other than a complete aircon system i also have a complete 200tdi from a defender lying around. so one more reason to come and visit. head gasket is gone on that engine, but other than that it was running before i took it out. turbo would prop neeed replacement, fins are not too good. i'm in romania the week from 17 mai, but taking part in a competition and no space in the 90 to bring it unfortunately. cheers spec

its everything, pipes, cooler, compressor, the bit inside etc

i have a complete aircon system from a td5 defender available. and even better, its in vienna, austria, not too bad a drive from romania. cheers spec

radiator is now on the back of the 90, sick of trying to get the mud out of it now need a good and powerful electric fan which are best? size of the fan is 10" needs to be 12v should be very powerful any suggestions? cheers spec

yes supposedly it sucks. its from a e46 330 bmw, and the way its mounted it sucks from the tank doesn't like to suck from land rovers though...

i now know for certain that my setup is not right fuel pump lasted about 10 miles, then pump gave up any suggestions welcome

putting a td5 into a 200tdi at the moment using an external pump from a bmw, it sucks through a standard 200tdi filter. setup seems to run fine, but the pump gets extremely hot, after running the engine or 20 mins or so its so hot that it burns your fingers if you touch it. is that normal or a sign that the pump isn't up to the job? cheers spec

hi western, thanks, but i have the diagramm. what i need is which cable goes where into the plug. (i don't have the original plug, but i have omne that fits, so i need to know where to connect the cables. shackleton, backup plan urgently needed, engine nees to run :-). picture if cables going into plug would be ideal. have the sensor with three wires (later models have four) cheers spec

need to know the colors of cables going into the plug. mine has three connectors, but not sure which one goes to which cable on the harness. this is the sensor that originally sits in the air filter box cheers spec

thx! tthink i can do without that feature and will leave disconnected- cheers spec

putting a td5 into a 200tdi. in the loom there's a switch that tells the ecu whether the tranbsfer box is in high or low range. what exactly does it do? kind of remember that it changes throtle response when in low, but not sure. any suggestions? cheers spec

thx, sent a pm to porny

putting a td5 into a challenge truck. have all the parts from a running vehicle but the immobiliser ecu is missing. is there a way to get around that? heard that the ecu needs to be programmed to saudi arabia, it then won't have a immobiliser, but not sure whether that works. any ideas? cheers spec

afaik the mounts on the lt230 differ putting a td5 into a 200tdi, facing kinda the same issue 200tdi engine being way back, longer front/shorter back prop shaft as in 300tdi/td5 will put the td5 in using the 200tdi mounts on the lt230 will then fabricate new engine mounts to suite engine location cheers spec

looked at some us sites http://performancelifts.com/cgi-bin/cart/s...=eq/tf=sku.html milner isn't too bad either, considering that getting them from the us means paying some taxes on top.

thanks, where do i find milner, do you have a website? how does one change the valve settings, adding /removing shims? cheers spec

these are excellent value at the moment. thinking about putting them into the 90 not looking to increase articulation, just better damping in high speed events. just measured the omes that were in: length extended 23,6 collapsed 15 travel 8,6 so the Fox Racing 2.0 - 8.5 Travel w/Reservoir would be a perfect fit mounting would be DII front turret in front + custom brackets on bottom. but how do i make sure that damping is appropriate to my 90 truck cab? how do i set these up? i.e. how do i change valving etc? (can i do that myself) cheers spec

thanks for the answers, managed to get hold of a td5 gauge, will use that. think that showing correct water temp is somewhat important, so thought that would be the best solution. cheers spec
