I will be up for this as well. Any date is suitable but I would prefer to avoid panel damage.

Sorry guys but forgot to take a picture last night. As you can see in the pictures (hopefully) my seal actually has 2 seals IYSWIM.

Actually I think you will find that the speedo on a 300 Series is electronic. When I fitted the 300 body to my 200 Series chassis and running gear I had to get a speedo transducer for it. You will find that, in the wet, the speedo can sometimes fail due to the connections getting wet. The transducer is just a plug on the back og the transfer box where the speedo cable would normally go and has 2 wires coming from it. The transducer can also get messy inside. They are quite easy to take apart and clean.

I'll take a picture tonight. I brought the seal from a 4x4 place in Melbourne. Unfortunately I can't remember the name. I am sure they said it was a part available from Land Rover Oz. If anyone on here from Melbourne can help with the name I am sure they were in the Dandenong area. They also used to rent spare parts, roofracks etc for trips. I rented my roofrack off them and ended up buying it when I got back from my trip.

Not sure about over here but, in Oz, you could buy a double thickness seal. It was introduced to keep the bulldust out. I have one fitted to my Discovery and it really does work. The people I brought it off just called it a "double bubble".

Does your Discovery have dual indicators at the rear (i.e. in the rear wings as well as the bumper) ? If so this is what is causing the trailer light to flash. I have exactly the same on my Discovery which is caused by extra indicators in the bull bar. I think there is a heavy duty relay to take into account the extra indicators.

Looking at his signature I'd say he was from Oz.

I think you need to speak to Mr Warn on here for his opinion on Zeus gears

Have to agree with nas90 here. My 90 skidded on a roundabout due to spilt deisel. Ended up in the drainage ditch. Got the car rebuilt with the insurance money but still lost my no claims.

As Diff said, I have a mate who has G90's fitted to his car and he is very careful in the wet on tarmac. Personally I wouldn't fit G90's. They were designed for the Army who genrally don't run around at great speed.

I had similar problems when I fitted a 300Tdi to my 2.5TD. In the end I just bought a new guage and matched sender from Racetech.
I tried a number of different senders and none of them worked.

Got mine too. Thanks for the effort.

From what little I know (told to me by a LR mechanic) all they do is fit a one way valve into the fuel supply to the FIP. This stops the fuel running back into the tank.

All I can say is my roof rack has been fitted to my Discover for about 8 years. It's never cracked or been damaged. All the Aussie roof racks are basically the same as mine (even for Defenders). I have seen other roof racks which use separate mounting legs crack on severe corrugations. If you want a good roof rack look at what the Aussies use. Their's are built to withstand the toughest terrain.

If you are going to get a roof rack look for one with steel/aluminium down the sides (IYSWIM). This spreads the load all along the guttering. I have an Australian Tradesman roof roack and have used on loads of expeditions and it's not broke yet. I don't sleep on it because we don't like roof tents. However I have had 2 people standing on top watching events before.

Do what I did and drive there. It's about a 2 day journey. Unless your QS doesn't have a 4x4 ?

Cheers for that Jim.

As it says above. I have a clunk coming from the rear of the 90 when cornering. I have changed all of the suspension bushes and the A frame ball joint, except for the bushes where the A frame mounts to the chasis. So this is a last attempt to stop the clunking.

Roofing could be made of traditional cedar split shingles- eay to apply, last for ages and so 'in' this year with self-builders- just look at how often they turn up on grand designs.......
Problem with shingles is that they will let in water when the car is in reverse and it's raining.

I have mixed feelings about them. Ordered a set of NAS lights and a year later the lamp holders in the rear ones had corrded. Complained to Paddocks and they sent me a set of new ones at no cost. Recently ordered a set of rear trailing arm bushes and they failed within 6 months. Didn't go back to them just went ot local LR dealer and ordered genuine ones.
