Are you not allowed to tow with an A frame in ANY circumstances? Here you can do it, but you need to run a brake setup for the towed vehicle. There are fancy air systems that actuate the brakes of the towed vehicle in tandem with the towing vehicle.

The 12 point heads are used because there is not room for a socket. The closed end of a spanner should fit them perfectly and allows for high torque to be applied. If you had 6 point heads, there would be no way to apply a lot of torque.

That does not mean the turbo is stuffed. Disconnect the linkage and see is the wastegate moves. If not, you should be able to free it up. The spring is quite stiff.

Maybe, but if it were me I wouldn't run an R&P with 300k on it.... when you have it out and the chance to replace it.

I agree, with that mileage, the ring and pinion and all bearings should be changed.

Except you want 48". 36" is not long enough.

Maybe, if you can figure out how to pull the race. But it will be hard to properly setup the bearing preload. Also, it could be the inner bearing. When either bearing goes, you get slack.

Or you could put a 200TDI in. It bolts right in with no changes.

Steering wheel is probably mounted incorrectly. Steering wheel position is adjusted through the drag link.

1.41 = 72 mph at 3000 rpm 1.22 = 83 mph @ 3000 rpm on regular 32" tyres.

I agree with LandyManLuke. I have a 200TDI 90. Unless you are running tyres 35" or larger or pulling large trailers, the Disco t. case is better.

Panhard rod bushings and swivel pin preload are the first places to look.

The engine is further back giving better weight distribution and room in the engine bay. If you use a military LT77, first gear is 10% lower. IMO, the LT77 bad rep is unfounded. I had one with 300000 km behind a V8 and it shifted as well as the day it came off the factory floor.

Defender and Disco axles and suspension are the same, so the wheel backspacing is the same. Normally 4.75". You can get aftermarket rims with less backspacing.

What is the speed rating on the factory tyres?

IMO..... Battery voltage is the type of measurement that is better handled by a digital gauge. You can much easier see load and battery drainage with one. You should see a drop with a load on, but it will not be a large one and is hard to see with an analog gauge. I have a combination indoor/outdoor thermometer and voltmeter with high and low alarms that was cheap as chips... Unfortunately, they seem hard to find.

My suggestion.... Get the 0 to 4000 rpm model. Governed speed is 3850 rpm or so. They come in 4000, 6000 and 8000 rpm models.

One other method I have seen it to run both tank fillers from the original location. See here: http://roverlanders.bc.ca/roverforum/viewtopic.php?t=1739

I had a nice long chat, look and drive of the 110 today. Power feels pretty normal. Smokes seems OK. As stated, the 1.6 transfer case limits the top speed. It may not be reving as freely as it should, but is hard to determine without a tach. I think it is a bit retarded. Advancing the timing may free up some top end. Engine speed 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000 3500 3850 R 3.7007 21.82615869 7 10 14 17 20 24 26 1 3.985 23.50291631 6 9 13 16 19 22 24 2 2.519 14.85667407 10 15 20 25 30 35 38 3 1.5074 8.89041306 17 25 33 42 50 58 64 4 1 5.897846 25 38 50 63 75 88 96 5 0.8314 4.903469164 30 45 60 75 90 105 116 Above is the speed in gears for that gear setup. As you can see redline in 5th is 116 km/h. I had it up to 100 km/h (by GPS) which is pushing the rev limits. On other things, he desperately need window felt and such. What are the cheap options for fixing up the sliding windows?

Yah, sorry, maybe a picture. It is still not making sense to me what you are talking about. The diaphram on the injection pump moves with turbo pressure in order for the fueling to be adjusted as the pressure changes.

I think we might need a clearer picture of what you are talking about. Jim is referring to the shaft attached to the diaphragm on a Bosch VE pump. It has an eccentric cone on the end that control the fueling rate as boost increases. Depending on which angle this is set at, the fueling rate varies.

No, I mean is 16" the outside of the wheel or the centerline of the wheel?

When people are talking about a 14" steering wheel are they measuring to the center of the wheel or the outside??
