Open your fuel pump more??? Hiclones are pretty good, but they only realy help engine background. Vortex exhaust box, they will give you quite a bit more, and lighten your pocket Nitrous oxide? The thing is, you will have to go big to keep up with a chipped td5. The td5 chipped will have around 160-170bhp. For you to achieve that, realistically you will need a bigger turbo. HTH

I think I have got a problem with mine though Steve. We have been speaking to gwyn and some shocks are much softer than the others. On the road it doesn't feel connected to road, it floats and when looking at the rear axle it is jumping up and down like there is something wrong. There isn't something wrong, it is just they are ridiculously soft. Rhys

Hmmm........x-springs??? I (personallly) would recommend gwyns dislocation hook cones. They are very well made and work very well. The x-springs tend to push the car over slightly introducing increased body roll, from what I have seen and heard by many.

It would be a fairer and overall decision to have three judges. As for the prize I don't know...............

In one word...........awful. I have them and on the road they bounce, dip, dive etc. Have not tested them properly off road yet, but they do seem to be quite good. I may be making things worst for myself as I also have very soft springs, but I find this setup works better off road. Things that work well on road, usually don't work very well off road and visa versa. Mine, is setup like this because it is trailered to sites. If you are doing any road driving, then I would recommend that you spend a little more and purchase the old man emu dampers. I assume you are planning to run the gwyn lewis setup? HTH

It went whilst driving around a corner, not all of a sudden just a build up, and then a lot of the front axle shaking until it decided to stop which I think was the pin slowly starting to sieze and once the shaking stopped the pin had locked the diff so the wheels were just scrubbing and not shaking/vibrating.

The tomcat has a landrover chassis as a base, and the wildcat has a tubular spaceframe chassis specifically build as a race machine and is also lighter. HTH

I would aslo say golddigger. Their studd is very good, I have seen their bumper which is a very good and strong looking bit of kit.

Right, pulled the diff to bits and went to take the pin out which runs through the planet and sun wheels, and as you said steve, there is my problem. I can't get it out, as it is stuck in ans ceased solid. Even a big belt with the hammer, and still nothing. Planet and sun wheels still locked. Might try a sledge hammer tomorrow

Hello, welcome So, what do you drive?

Twin turbo's, nitrous, methanol etc.

I should think the rover v8, but they will deliver the torque differently as the v8 is petrol and normally aspirated and the other is diesel and turbo charged, therefore you will also get turbo lag, whereas a v8 is instant in responce. What rover v8 size are you looking at and would it be carb or injection?

Put the tape across the rim between the two outer lips where the outside of the bead on the tyre sits. That is then your rim width and a poor explanation

Ok then Iw ill rephrase my question, Can I have any opinions on the "very" skinny boggers? i.e, 10.5" wide

What do we all think of the skinny boggers then, like 35/10.5?

And still haven't got to the bottom of it Going to strip it out and see whats in store Nice one Nige, you nearly had me going but I thought it would seem rude to say whether it was a fool or not as I had posted my stupid diff thingy at a silly hour as well

I did wonder last night reading this topic at about 12pm and wondered is it a wind up, as well aware of the april fools but did not wnat to say anything incase I offended you Because I am kind

Ok Steve, That sounds good I will strip the diff tomorrow night, and then, hopefully we will know whats up. Place yours bets now then Rhys

Couple more......and thats it. What you can't see from my purely rubbish pics, is what I can see. And that is a very good diff. They is no grot or anything in there apart from a drop of oil left which is what you are picking up on I think. Anyway, it doesn't matter too much what it is as I will replace it with a 24 spline one along with the rest on internals from my other rangie. I just wanted to know really what had happened, as I haven't come across anything like this before.

Ah, didn't use that function as was already in the garage Anyway, if this lot aren't any better then I will get some more for you tomorrow.

I tell you what I will do......I will try and get another pic of that as it could just be the rubbish camera

Last one...........

............................

they keep coming...............

and some more as I don't know how to strink a file
