hi any ideas on how much i should pay for a 3.5 v8 98,000 miles, auto box, transfer box, engine wiring ( ecu ) and a axles although i dont need the axles but i think there part off the deal if anyone else needs some

are there any good rollcage builders in the south east and what are the rules in competitions of building you own?

yeah the idea off the v8 interests me but i still cant get over the idea that they are not so good with water. diesels are so easy to get water proof , what are your opinions as i keep getting warned away but cant let go off the idea. also do you now the engine's history and how many miles etc and does it come with alternator starter and so on cheers tim

are the KAM electric diff locks and axle kits any good. they offer a full kit, diff locks, drive shafts,heavy duty shaft ends etc for around £650 never really heard off KAM so not sure of quality any advise appreciated

ok i live right down the south east near the channel tunnel so a bit to far away . thanks anyway though

not to sure about v8,s but might be valve stem oil seals letting a bit off oil in while it sits and then burns off straight away when running . i had the same on an rs turbo an oil seals curred that

yeah pics would help just need to see where the hinge joins to the body

i have looked at a hidden hinge version and it could be done but i think you would have to weld on the hinge mounts and the mount that holds the bonnet lifting springs secure. cant be sure as i dont have an exposed hinge car with the scuttle off

how about the electric operated KAM lockers has anyone tried these and how do they rate against the air systems?

based in kent so arb's sound good to me cheers tim

sounds good any clues on price and where abouts is it from cheers tim

hi i am wanting to buy some diff lockers soon and dont no what is better arb or maxi or is it down to what you prefer cheers tim

ok thanks very much ill give it a try and see what happens

hi any clues on how to wire a rev counter into a diesel engine. is it possible cheers tim

hi i have put a 1.5" body lift on my range rover, not to bad to do but i expect you will need new mounting bolts for the extra length. i found it best to leave the rear mounts on jack up yhe front and put the spacers in then do the rear and put the others in after. i also loosened of the steering shaft just incase and there are 2 more mounts not to forget positioned ruffly under the rear seats. suspension wise a bit more envolved but not bad either good luck

ok great ill keep my eye out for one sounds easy enough. cheers tim

hi how easy is it to put a 300tdi engine and auto box into a range rover currently using an old mazda diesel and manual box? and how tempermental are v8's as i have never owned one but would like to. thanks tim

ok cheers ill give it a try would like to go the v8 route myself if i could find a engine at a good price

ok thanks do you think that the engine could be an issue it currently has a non-turbo 3l mazda engine but im not sure of the output figures it seems to run fine just a bit smokey on start up

hi i have fitted 35" mudzillas to my range rover and dont seem to have much power is there an easy fix or is different differential gearing the only option iwould be glad off any advice
