I have the Clarke 160TM. I got that after loads of research on mig-weldng.co.uk to replace my crappy SIP Very pleased with it

Cheers for the reply, much appreciated I had worked out the bit for the fixing onto the inner wing using the supplied nut. They are metric fittings so I think I am going to use them. I have the kit to make up new copper pipes if needed so I suppose if I have to replace all the 20 year old pipes with fresh stuff it wont be a bad thing anyway Rob

So I picked up a bargain set of +2 braided hoses at Newbury yesterday. I got the 5 hose set as I knew the front calipers on my non ABS 93 disco had two hoses each and the fifth is the single rear hose. Once I got home I found that there is another version of the 5 hose set up that has flexi hoses with double female ends (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Discovery-1-150mm-Braided-Brake-Hose-Kit-/230606610756?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35b139a144'>THIS is the correct set) for each of the fronts but the set I got is pre 92 with double male ends.(http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Land-Rover-Discovery-1-150mm-Braided-Brake-Hose-Kit-/220766112220?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3366af89dc'>THIS is what i got) Can I use one of http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-way-female-brake-pipe-connector-universal-fittings-/290136402623?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item438d7a2abf'>THESE double female connectors to join the flexi hose to the pipe on the inner wing? I will be replacing the short bit of pipes from the flexi to the caliper so can make that up with the correct fitting to suit Anyone have any advice?

What tappets did you use for the rebuild? This sounds identical to the problem I had. Replaced cam ,tappets, timing chain etc. Britpart kit. At first it felt like a different engine, but within 500 miles I had a really bad tapping back on one tappet. Took the rocker covers off and checked the push rods for excess movement. Found one was really loose. Stripped the top end back down and found this the cup in the tappet had spun round causing damage to the cam, push rod, and rocker cup with it all rattling around. Second rebuild in 500 miles, this time using OEM tappets and another new cam Having said all that when I watched your video it does look very dry in there. Check the rocker oil ways aren't blocked if you are sure they are mounted correctly

Will be going up to this on Sunday.

Yes I have done it to my 8" spots mounted on the bullbar. THIS type, fitted a 50w 4300k kit from THIS seller on ebay Mounted the ballast behind grill and the only mod I had to do was enlarge the cable entry on the back of the lamp body for the plugs. Just fitted a larger gromit to seal the larger entry hole. The bulb is a straight swap I know halogen lamps are not designed for HID light pattern but I only use these lamps off road and the difference in light output between a 50w hid and the original 100w halogens is incredible! Headlamps 35w H4 hi/lo HID Spots 50w H1 HID Roof lights 55w H7 halogen

Good result there Sam, glad you finally have a working tacho I know it might seem a big mark up for those few components but the way I look at it you are also paying for the research that has gone into solving the issue and producing a working solution you can easily plug in. PS where are the off road pics?? did I miss a page

Sam Is THIS any help

Excellent work there fella.Great attention to the detail Those headers give such a wonderful noise too

Is this any good to you? Not sure if you want 3 or 5 door

Did this to my poverty spec 93 disco when I first got it. The full wiring loom was present. Just swaped the regulators in the doors, plugged the switch panel in and fitted a fuse in the correct slot.

Excellent, thanks for that much appreciated, I did mean to say I had searched microcat not rave but cheers anyway

Can anyone supply the part numbers for the o/s and n/s front wing top rails as per THIS ebay listing? Tried rave but can't find it

Andy, Splice 226 will be located under dashboard area. So would suggest looking behind fuse boxes. The splice numbering system in the diagrams indicate what area the splice is located in. 100's under bonnet 200's dashboard 300's front seat area etc

Andy If you tell me what circuits you want I can open them in my copy of RAVE and do copies for you. Rob
